Baby James

Baby James Seddon arrived at 3.54am on Tuesday at Brighton Hospital, weighing in at a whopping 9pounds 2 oz, 10 days overdue and with a full head of hair.

We arrived at the hospital about 1.30am so were only there for a couple of hours when baby James emerged, with Jo just using the tens machine and gas & air.

Baby and mum are doing well. Jo's mum is here and is helping lots.
