He's here!!

Robin was born around 4 this morning!

My dear brother-in-law called us at 5 (I wasn't sleeping anyway!). Everything went amazingly well. Catherine was super brave, had a quick delivery - no C-section! - and Stéphane, my BIL, told us Robin was a very "tonic" little guy. Perfectly healthy! He measures 48 cm and weighs 3,2 kilos.

Sébastien and I must have slept a total of 3 hours and I must dash to work - and have a splitting migraine - but never mind! Robin is born! My sister is well! And we're uncle and auntie!!
