At 7:45AM on April 14, 2014, Cillian (KILL-ee-an) James Dieter was born. He was 9 lbs, 4 oz (4.2 kg).

This was a very quick delivery, and I was still able to be at a class trip that started two hours after he was born. Easter break started two days after he was born, and Naomi’s parents are here now to spend some time with us all, so life has been pretty relaxed for the last week and a half.

Saoirse, Ailíse and Eoin are very excited that they have a little brother, but I think it will take Eoin a little while to grasp that he’s no longer the baby in the family.
