It gives me the greatest pleasure to announce the safe arrival of Theodore Thomas. Weighing in at a lovely 7lbs 8oz, he was born last night at 10:11pm by emergency c-section.

Both mum and baby are doing well, but poor OB is shattered after a lengthy labour.

OB - he really is the most beautiful baby boy, and you are going to be the most amazing mummy to him. I am so overjoyed for you, after all you've been through, that you now have your adorable son safely in your arms. You've been waiting for what seems like forever for this day, and I am so very glad that it is finally here luffs you OB! xx
