By the way Glasgow Guy, did you place a "dollar coin" in your baby's hand. An old Scottish neighbor made sure she did this when Annie was born. A Scottish tradition?

He was given a piece of silver (50p piece) yes..as good luck...and I know it always to have been done when I was a young kid and growing up but not having lived in other parts of the uk I dont know if this is strictly a scottish thing or not..but good on your neighbour and you can tell her I done the same thing..
suppose its kinda a like a christening piece..if its boy being christened then a girl would get the gift ( bit of silver) and vice versa.
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH. I know what she went through my son was around the same weight. Looked like he was a three month old baby not a new born.
WELCOME to the world Kian.
Congratulations mate. Nothing beats the feeling of seeing your little one for the first time. When mine was born i was buzzing round in my own little world for days.
