Geoff and Miriam have asked me to let you all know that they have a safely delivered daughter, Claire Abigail, born 16:56 Toronto time, weighing 6lb 13 oz (3.09 kg).
According to Ingrid Claire is beautiful, looking perfect and, at the time, crying :-) Miriam, herself, had quite a long push at the end - about 2 hrs. When I spoke to Ingrid Miriam was fine and very happy - as well she deserves to be.
Congratulations Mommy and Daddy on the birth of your daughter and, Claire Abigail, welcome to the world of flashing lights and moving shapes and cacophony of sound and, in the midst of it all, the wonderful sound of your mother's voice. Congratulations, too, Sharon and Alan, on the birth of your grand-daughter.
Thanks to all of you, family and friends of Miriam and Geoff, and friends of family and friends, for your interest, support, prayers and whatever other positive input you have had to the safe delivery of their daughter and our grand-daughter.
Photos to follow as soon as we have them.
