Introducing Connor James (sorry about the crappy webcam photo!), born 11.15pm Saturday 8 May 2010. Weighing in at 8lb6oz (yes, despite Australia using the most excellent metric system (tee hee), most people still refer to babies in pounds and ounces - but for those who don't, 3.81kg) and measuring 51.5cm, Connor arrived via c-section, because despite the contractions, he stubbornly refused to engage - living up to one of the "meanings" of his name - strong-willed! Wonder where he gets that from...

He is gorgeous, and you look elated! Congratulations to your new family!!! What a great Mothers Day for you.
Oh congratulations! This is so wonderful! I'm very excited for you all. You look so blissfully happy, and Connor James is just so CUTE!!!!
P.S Happy Mothers' Day!!
Yay! Right in time for Mother's Day! Congratulations - he's beautiful!
May all three of you - Connor, Andrew and yourself, have happy lives. Congratulations. Such good news

The Labradors send waggy, clean and baby friendly tail wags!!!
Most Excellent News.
Congratulations to all of you.

Congratulations! What wonderful news! Welcome to the world Connor!
That's fantastic! Boys are wonderful and SO much fun to knit for! They look gorgeous in almost anything, and he's already chubby and so cute... imagine him in his woolies. What a great time of year to have an Aussie Baby! Great name for a boy, too.
Similar thing happened with my last baby boy (now 3 months) and so I know caesareans aren't much fun to recover from. Much better after the first week, though. Put your feet up and relax in hospital for a bit. I don't care what they say about hospital food; it's always better when you don't have to cook and do the dishes :D
P.S. My first boy (now almost 3) was due a few days before Mothers Day and Missed it by about 4 days! Frustrating!
Glad yours made it in time; it's very nice to be a mum on Mother's day. And next time, I think Mother's day will be on his first birthday :D Congratulations again!
Congratulations to the happy family! You both look wonderful - so delighted for you!!
Congratulations Jane, Conner is just gorgeous :0)
I am so very happy for you all :0)
Love Mel x x

Congratulations :)
Enjoy the early baby daze - it's such a special, intense time. Don't try to do anything except nurture yourself and your baby for a few weeks at least. (I'm sure you know all that, but sometimes it helps to have it reiterated ;)
Take care and sniff that newborn head for me.
A HUGE congrats to the three of you. He's super cute and in my opinion I do see Ms Jane in him ;D
I just love those first few hospital pics that we seem to rush out and take where you can see the shear delight and exhaustion in one... just wonderful!
Big smiley beams for you three on this end xx
Hello little one- Connor what a cute smile.
Jane and Andrew - what great news and look at that smile - happy mother's day for yesterday
Congratulations and such wonderful timing just in time for Mother's day. Hooray for his safe arrival and best wishes for your speedy recovery. Take it as easy as you can and lay down lots!!!
Wonderful news! Glad to hear you're both well and I'm looking forward to meeting Connor in person.

What a perfect Mother's Day for you. Congratulations to you and your hubby on becoming a family of 3, how wonderful!
Congratulations, what a cutie. And his timing is impeccable, he should already have chalked up brownie points from Mum for that ☺
Congratulations!!! As a mother of a boy I can tell you that boys ROCK!!! May these early days be full of beautiful "getting to know you" times, lots of sleep and utter joy! Would love to come and visit the new little man sometime.

I've had 2 Caesarians and am happy to answer any questions you have, just drop me an email any time.
Oh, Congratulations! He is precious and beautiful. At long last.....he's here!
Awww! Congratulations, new momma! The verification word is even "mumon".
And here is my one and only piece of parenting advice: Don't let people take photos of you while you look at your baby and say, "Awwww!" Later you will look at the picture and think, "I look like I'm drooling on his head!"
Congratulations to all of you! He looks adorable. :-)
What a lovely Mother's day present ;)
He's so squishy! Congratulations!
Health and happiness to you all!
Welcome to the world, Connor. The best present for mother's day. He's so cute. And you look sooooooooo happy!!!
Look what happens when I don't go on the internet for two days - Jane goes and has Connor practically on Mother's Day.
Gone all gooey - beautiful baby, and K's right, he does look just like his dad.
congratulations Jane, I wish you all the best in the world..
