Total congratulations to Boy and Nic on the birth of a new Baby Groves.I love the role of Uncle and to be Godfather to my nephew Jonathan was the highest honour that has ever been bestowed on me. Great to play with and then returning them to their parents at the end of the day, usually completely hyped up.
Arriving 8 days late, the young couple have been going a bit nuts – most specially Boy who in desperation to induce has been busy preparing red hot curries in the kitchen, and prodding and poking Nic in the bedroom at every possible opportunity.
Clearly worth all the waiting around!
Boy, like my other two brothers, has never been comfortable around children and required special counseling to go ahead with this child. His consternation as well as my reluctantly gentle jibes probably hasn´t helped.
Much to Ma´s amazement, after having 4 boys and 2 grandsons, Boy has won additional brownie points by giving birth to a baby girl.
These photos were taken less than 3 hours after her delivery and she weighs in at a very healthy 7 pounds 13 ounces.
at the weigh-in
Well it took them a long time to get their act together but it was obviously worth waiting for. Hearty congratulations to the Groves clan.
