Diary Of A Daddy Day 1

Hey guys.

First and foremost, I didn't get the job at the BBC but getting shortlisted to top 10 in the end was a feat for me all by itself and has given me a lot of confidence in this field.

You probably all know about the arrival of my son now and have decided to write a little diary of what's going on through the day and how I'm feeling blah, blah, blah.  Gazzara JR (no that's not going to be his name, we just haven't decided yet and don't argue with me coz i'm tired - ok, lol) was born on Saturday 4th November at 1.08pm weighing in at a linemans size of 8lbs 7oz.  He was really quiet on the first day and wanted a few feeds and just slept for the rest of the time.  Unfortunately they had to be kept in evernight as he pooed during the birthing process and they wanted to keep an eye on him for 24hrs.

This was an ideal opportunity for me to get some rest and be able to deal with him coming home better and would allow my wife to get some proper rest when they got released.  You know how Karma can come back and bite ya in the ass?  Yup, it happened to me.  I was all tucked up inside our bed at home when the phone rings at 3.30am in the morning.  In a panic I pick it up and ask if everything is all right.  The response was that it was the alarm company and the store where I work has been broken into and could I attend.  What a fucking joke.  I was at the store until 9.45 in the morning waiting for police to take fingerprints etc and had to go straiht to the hospital afterwards.

Mother and baby were released at 3pm this afternoon and we have spent the rest of the time settling back in and trying to get some sort of routine going between the 2 of us so we can both get some rest and be fresh.  Our daughter Aimee has been getting involved as much as she can but is playing up as she is starting to feel jealous.  Extra cuddles for her over the next few days to give her re-assurance are on the cards.  Well I am on night shift at the moment as I want my wife to get as much rest as possible.  The Colts Vs Pats is live on tv so I don't have a wasted night.
