Yes, it's a boy......
.....and his name is Maddox-Pax-Knox.
You like?
3kg, five hour labour (give or take), great birth, magnificent epidural and generally Over The Moon. Home now and trying to remember how to put on those teeny tiny socks. He's very much a third child - somehow I pretty much forgot to buy anything small enough to fit him and much of the other paraphanalia you accumulate before your first baby......but he is absolutely delicious and I am besotted. We all are.
His name is actually Remy. Luca came up with the name months ago and it was on a shortlist of two or three. When we saw him, it was obvious.
Coco was not happy for several days and refused to say his name because she wanted us to name him Nutella. We told her when she grows up to be as big as Mummy and has her own baby, she can call him Nutella (heck, I'm sure someone somewhere already has....). The good news is that she's already got a baby in her tummy and it's going to be born "in half an hour".
As I mentioned last week (seems like a lifetime ago....I've almost forgotten how to type) I have locked and loaded a bunch of posts to keep you entertained while I remember how to get by on very little sleep and make milk.

A huge congratulations to you and your family Mia!! Remy - I like it infinitely more than Nutella. I'm sure he's totally gorgeous and it's good to hear it all went well.
I will have a glass of champagne in your honour tonight!! (or perhaps one for each child......)

Well done you!!
Remy is definitely better than Nutela and Milo (actually I kinda like Milo).
Enjoy enjoy enjoy.
When you are able, we want pics.
Or is that gonna cost us millions?
Congratulations!!

Great news Mia! What date was he born? Does he have a middle name?
Name: Rémy
Gender: Boy
Origin: French - Meaning: Oarsman
From Rheims, France ; (English) familiar form of Remington
Pronunciation:(RAY mee)
Form of: Remigius
I dunno if Mia is using the accent though.
Lisa McCune's daughter is called Remy. I guess it is a bit of a feminine name, but can work for a boy too.

I love that Luca picked the name! So sweet!

Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy! I have to say, even though it's a hard time, I'm kind of jealous. There's something special about living in that milky, sleep deprived haze for a while. And you cannot beat the scent of a baby. Yep, really jealous now! I've been away for a while, and the thought of you not getting your epidural crossed my mind more than once, so I'm glad that worked out for you! Great name, too. Enjoy! xxxxx

Thanks for sharing your news Mia!
Hope you're not too tired.

Oh congratulations Mia and welcome to the world little Remy! Enjoy your first few beautiful/zombified weeks together :)
Posted by: Bess | August 18, 2008 at 01:59 PM
Need I say congratualtions? I thought of you and all mamamia commentators yesterday... a friend of a friend (I know but still...) was telling her about his first class flying experiences and said the most 'star struck' was when he was the only person in the 1st class lounge other than this lady and her boy. When this little kid kept coming up to him to say hi his mother kept apologising. It just happened to be ANGELINA and MADDOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND....They were lovely! Let's all sigh, *sigh* and love them even more.
enjoy Remy and maybe some Nutella on toast.

WELCOME REMY!!
I agree with coco how could you not call him nutella, what a perfect name.
I hope you all settle back into life with a new born easily, with as little dramas as possiable.
