An Independent Game Developer’s Diary

• Up at 5:30am with possible contractions… #
• @tackers not going to be in work today, weird request, can somebody eat my lunch in the fridge? #
• Definately in labour now, looks like I’ll be a dad in the coming hours… very scary! #
• only 2cm dialated apparently, so early days, going to be a few hours #
• @aleksk cheers, although we’re having the baby at home as hospitals are for sick people. Going well so far #
• Midwife has been to visit, everything is well so far, we just have to wait for baby to come out now #
• @brunns can you get me a copy of todays guardian put aside so we have paper on day baby is born? #
• Labour seems to mostly be a waiting game for the husband #
• Contractions are coming along stronger now, meanwhile I’m taking a break and eating lunch #
• Timing’s so far, contractions started mildly at 3:30am, woke me at 5:30, by 7:30 certain that they are real contractions, midwife at 9:3 … #
• Also to confirm again to everybody, we’re at home, cathy is now in birthing pool in front room, her mother and me in attendance as team … #
• Phew contractions look like hard work #
• another midwife here now, plus a student midwife #
• 6 hours into labour, things are progressing but cathy’s tired. So am I! #
• Baby brunton-spall was born at 19:44 after approx 9 and three quarter hours #
• Pictures available on facebook already #
• Weigh-in says 8 pounds 5 ounces #
• First picture of Aristotle, Cathy and I - photo at http://twitxr.com/mibgames/updates/81988 #
• Baby’s name by the way is Aristotle Brunton-Spall or Art / Arty for short #
• Now I’m starving and tired, going to go see baby eating, eat soemthing and sleep #
• now going to sleep, baby isn’t yet, he’s just staring around the bedroom #
