My wife gave birth to my son luca on the 5th of november in extremely traumatic circumstances. For a while it was touch and go for both of them, i have never been so scared in all my life i lost all control over my nervous system at one point and collapsed in a heap. my wife had to be rushed in to surgery with my-self being cared for by mid-wifes ( which now feels embarrasing but at the time i couldnt do anything about it ). 5 mins after he was born he was brought to me and while i was excited to see my boy i never really gave him the time of day because all i could think of was my wife still in surgery. Eventually she emerged looking dreadful but alert enough to ask how i was something i couldnt believe and and will always find touching. that night will always bring tears to my eyes with emotions mixed but when i look at the beautiful boy we have created my heart warms and his gorgeous face takes my horrible memories away and over time hopefully gone for-ever. Luca i love you more than life it-self and will love you un-conditionally till my heart takes its final beat. hi there not sure if this blog is still active but ill tell you very briefy my story.

Sometimes I wonder how it will be like when I become a father but I believe I'll never know until that day comes. For now, reading posts like these is the closest I'll get to knowing.

It is refreshing to find others on the same like path. Our little Easton is a few months older, but he is the joy of our lives. They can just make you melt with their huge smiles and little giggles. www.JuiceofChampions.com p.s. Xavier, you have a great month to be born in. My wife and I both are February babies!

And congratulations to both of your parents. Ever notice how, after you have a baby, people will greet them and sort of ignore you? Kinda like you're just there to hold the baby for them, or something! Congratulations, and a second baby will bring you an amazing realization--even though you love baby #1 with all your hearts, and of course each other as well, you will love baby #2 just as much. The heart seems to grow with what is available for it to care for. Cheers! Happy Birthday a bit late, Xavier!
