What Kind of Father would I be if I didn't dedicate a whole section to our new baby?

Daniel Webb Dempsey was borne to us on May 1st, 2004 at 5:16am Central European time.

He weighed in at 3.8 kg (~8.4 lbs.) and measured 54cm (~1.8 ft.)

Labour started about 10am on Friday, April 30, and lasted until about 5am May 1st at which point it became clear that the baby's head was not going to move into the correct position and a caesarian section was ordered by the doctor. I can testify that this was a nerve-racking moment, but the operation was pulled off without problems and both mother and child are doing fine.

I would like to take a moment to praise the Czech medical staff of Neratovice hospital (just outside of Prague) for their absolute professionalism and top-end attitude and personal attention throughout the entire process. I never once doubted their abilities nor professional integrity. Those who are considering delivering a baby within the Czech Republic, should consider this hospital above all others. Anybody who knows me well knows my feelings about the Czech Medical establishment and understands that this is no light statement.

Sorry, due to demands from the mother, there was no web-cam footage.

Stay tuned to this section for all the latest news about the new baby: Daniel Webb Dempsey.

If all goes as planned, little Daniel will be updating this site on his own in a few months.
