Spotted this on Google Maps today. It’s amazingly clear, and looks pretty large. A quick Google shows I’m not the first to spot it, and the photo was probably taken by a plane at about twice the altitude of the airliner.
Caroline is recovering well and we’ll be leaving the hospital shortly. Just need a de-briefing from the midwife. Hooray!
Oscar John Russell was born at 0015, 5th February 2012 (by c-section). He weighed in at a hefty 4.28kg (that’s 9 lb 7!). It was a long labour, and very tiring for Caroline, but Oscar was calm and healthy throughout, and Caroline did a tremendous job! Read the rest of this entry »

Thanks everyone for moral support, prayers and well-wishing.
Especially big thanks to John, our neighbour, for stepping in where our car failed, to my mum for coming down from Rotherham to help but then being stuck alone for 13 hours in the hospital 🙁 and to the midwives, doctors, anaesthetist and many assistants at The Lister delivery unit that got Oscar out of Caroline safely.
Thanks for joining in our labour!
We’re all fine. Caroline is very tired but not been in bad pain. She’s being prepared for theatre now. They’ll do an epidural then try instrumental and do c-section if that doesn’t work.
Oscar’s head is a bit skewif, which is maybe why its been a difficult delivery.
Looks like Oscar’s birthday will be Feb 5, not 4th :p
Oscar has until 11 to arrive, otherwise we’ll start considering an instrumental delivery or Caesarian-section.
He’s still doing very well with a good heartbeat. Caroline is tired from a very long second stage of delivery (over 6 hours now!)
All doing fine but would like to be done soon!
Thanks for all your messages and prayers
Now let’s get this baby out!
