On the 12th May I became a father for the first time.
After being 11 days late, a 3 day rollercoaster process through labour and birth (induction, emergency foreceps, retained placenta surgery) we welcomed our daugher Isabelle (affectionately known as Izzy) to the world. Mercifully with COVID we were looked after very well and I was able to be 100% present.
All fathers Im sure say it, but truly I could not be more in awe or proud of my wife, throughout everything.
This was Izzy when she was born

This was about a week later safe at home settling into life (note the COVID haircut)

Its like she called a town meeting then decided to eat one of the inhabitants.
Anyway, hope you like the pictures. Now I have an official heir to my Lovetone pedal collection. She better want to learn guitar.... ;)

She certainly knows her own mind
Desperate to be mobile already, rolling over at 3 months
Jen was convinced we were having a boy all along but one of the midwives said girls like to make a dramatic entrance and she sure did (!)
Thanks for all the kind comments. Made my day :)
Congrats man!!
congrats, cutie for sure.
So happy for you! Congratulations. I know what you mean about the dramatic entrance, that was my first daughter's style for sure.
