I’m proud to announce the birth of Hiroto Philip Gillan, born February 11th, 2010 at 3:19am local time.
A couple hours old, sleeping peacefully
At birth he weighed 4,25Kg (that’s 9lbs, 6oz) and measured 55cm (22″) from head to heel. Mom and baby are both doing fine, and are currently resting. Hiro was born at home with the assistance of midwives Tracy and Caitlyn.
When Kaito and Taka woke up they were very excited to learn that they have a new baby brother. Kaito was the first to come into the room, and whem Mommy called him over to see the baby his face lit up and he exlaimed “a baby!”. He then went downstairs to get his brother, and from the top of the stairs I heard him say,
“Taka, I have a big news for you… The baby came out of Mommy’s tummy, and it’s a boy!!!”
I was smiling from ear to ear. Pictures, video, and more updates about Hiroto will be posted here at gillan.ca in the coming days.
Swaddled and feeling safe

I’d like to apologize for the mass e-mail I sent out – I mean to bcc everyone so you wouldn’t see everyone else’s e-mail address (and so ‘reply to all’ wouldn’t actually reply to everyone!) … Guess that’s what 1 hour of sleep will do to you.
