    Last Monday (28th September) our third son Ethan was born, but wow what an emotional roller coaster 24 hours they were, ultimately we welcomed our gorgeous son Ethan in to the world but it wasn't without complications during the surgery, without going into details there was a short time where I nearly lost my wife but thankfully she came through and is doing well now as is little Ethan who weighed in at 9lb. I am so proud of my wife for getting through it and recovering so amazingly quickly, she really is amazing but had me worried for a little while there!

    You think you know how much you love someone but when faced with experiences like this it really hits home how much you really do love them :imphrt:

          Glad Mrs Bilbo is recovering well. Ethan is very cute (and not so little at 9lbs!)
