“Tim’s Personal Best”
So picture the scene … it’s December 23rd 2004, we’ve been waiting for five days … watching … alert – it’s about 01.00 a.m.
But I’m poised … really poised – not really, I’m fast asleep.
The clouds of sleep part and my wife shakes me and whispers “first contraction !!, call the midwife and tell them we’ll be ready at lunch-time”.
I sneak downstairs to call the midwife, and mum-in-law to pick up #1 son (18 months at the time) and make a brew. Five minutes later mum-in-law arrives, and shouts up the stairs “Is everything OK?”.
Worryingly my darling wife replies “The head is out” ten minutes after the first contraction !! I rush upstairs and call 999, but there’s no time and I deliver my daughter Mena around 5 minutes later – huge catch at 7lbs 6oz. Proud dad delivers his 2nd child without medical intervention – can’t get better than that.
Or can it ??
So picture the scene (again) … it’s December 27th 2007, we’ve been waiting for two days … watching … alert – it’s about 01.00 a.m.
But I’m poised … really poised – not really, I’m fast asleep (again).
The clouds of sleep part and my wife shakes me (again) but this time screams “first contraction – and it’s a biggie !! Call the midwife !!”.
But baby Seth couldn’t wait – five minutes later I deliver my personal best at 7lbs 7oz, while we’re standing in the door of our en-suite playing a strange game of Delivery Twister, again without medical help and ten minutes later the midwifes arrive. Happy days.
