He weighed in at a hefty 9lb 15oz (4.51kg), came with a complete set of fingers and toes and is doing really well. Ruth is recovering well from the birth, which was very straightforward, and Catherine is coping well with being a big sister.

We’re hoping to record the next episode of “Just Relax” as soon as possible, but in the meantime both John and Ruth are using “AudioBoo” as a means of recording their thoughts and experiences. John’s “Boos” can be found at http://audioboo.fm/floyduk and Ruth’s are at http://audioboo.fm/r2uk

If you join our Facebook fan page at http://www.facebook.com/justrelaxshow you’ll see announcements there when any new “Boos” are available.

Today we get into a bunch of stuff about how baby number 2 is developing, how Catherine is pushing her luck at bedtime and how on earth you form a government when nobody can decide who they want in charge.
