Listening to her heart rate on that monitor, slowing each time there was a contraction. You writing about this brings it all back, even though six years ago.
Glad your little one is here and safe now though mate.
Good luck for tomorrow. Keep us posted.
Tell me about it fella, when I saw the monitor go from 150 beats to 40 my whole body just went numb, I was absolutely on knifes edge, missus was saying sorry it wasnt natural birth, I said feck that girl, prefer you both are well & safe than watching a melon get pushed out of a hole the size of a golf ball, she then saw my POV & smiled & said she loved me, hey beat that for a sunday evening, now at home in Italy, eating genuine italian pizza, drinking italian beer & looking forward to a good nights sleep fresh for tomorrow & a PITA kitten whose missed me all day, lol, also trying to steal my pizza, little ****, oh well she's lovely too so she can share.
On subject of kitten, story behind her is also involving the baby, went for checkup, the stray tiny kitten was running in the car park of hospital awaiting to be run over & given I love animals & cant see that **** happening I decided then & there to take her home, I'm not a fan of destiny, but she is a ****** amazing cat, never whinges, never shites anywhere except her box & is, well tutto perfecta
Congratulations Nige! Nothing beats the dad/daughter relationship!
I'm not an emotional guy at all, but I couldn't talk when my daughter was born.....
Yeah I'll agree the bond is done & dusted at birth huh, lol, damn it, there goes lifetime of mods.
Emotional, mate, makes any hard man look silly & you know what, couldnt give a flying feck, showing emotion makes you human & seeing her alive & knowing Marta was ok too, I'm holding back tears each time I think about it, its a make or break situation huh, dare to think the opposite outcome, but it crosses your mind a million times a second unfortunately.
I asked my old man to watch down on them both, I dont believe in any god, but I do believe my old man is about
, he did what I asked so I'm very happy, would be better if he was around to see her but alas cant have it all huh.
