baby Autumn arrived at 00:34 today, weighing 7.2lbs.

Autumn is perfect in every way, and the experience was... incredible, unbelievable, beautifull.

I would have waited an eternity for this

oh and on the same day I got offered my dream job, with my own position, for the money I'm worth. finaly my expertise has been seen!
