Lily is Here

June 24, 2011 at 12:39 am | Posted in Life Observations | 2 Comments

Last Thursday our precious little gift arrived and we have named her Lily. Nothing can prepare you for the sight of the birth of your first child. No amount of reading, none of the other father’s stories, not even the BBC documentary series ‘one born every minute’.

She is the most perfect little creature I have ever seen and I find that I cannot stop watching her every moment she is near. She is beautiful.

Watching my equally beautiful wife go through this all, for me, for us, has given me an even greater level of admiration. Something that is almost impossible to describe. Danny Green, one of Australia’s most successful boxers, said in the book ‘Cheers to Childbirth’, I would rather be put in the ring with Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and George Foreman, all at the same time, than have go thought childbirth’. I agree.

Congratulations to you both! Did you know you ended up on the same day as Mal & Emma’s twins???

Now, when do we get to see pictures? I know you must have taken about a million by now…..

Hi David

Congratulations from Jacqui and I. It’s been a while since I checked in so to do so and see this news has really made me happy. Well done and enjoy. I’m really envious.
