Far
On 19 December 2007, at 4.24 a.m., Phyllis and I had a daughter: Anna Bridget Buchanan-Widmann. She is beautiful, weighs 3400 g and is 50 cm long.
Everything went well, but really fast: Phyllis woke me up at 1 a.m., we arrived at the Queen Mum’s at 2 a.m., at 2.45 I was asked to wait in the reception (or go home) because birth wasn’t imminent, at 3.45 they told me to return as birth was about to start, at 4.24 I could see the crown of the head, and less than a minute later she was outside and I could cut the cord.
I’ve uploaded some photos.
It’ll be interesting to find out what she’ll call me – far (Danish for “father”), daddy or Thomas (like her siblings).
I dag er det Annas fødselsdag,
hurra hurra hurra
hun sikkert sig en gave får,
som hun har ønsket sig i år
med dejlig chokolade og kager til.
Til lykke med hende.
Hvis du omtaler dig selv som ‘far’ i lang nok tid, er der en chance/mulighed for, at hun vil gøre det samme. Så kan du jo se, om du kan få Phyl til at gøre det samme, og så omtale hende som ‘mor’ 😉
Tjah, Léon kalder hende allerede mor or ikke mummy halvdelen af tiden!
Rigtig mange gange tillykke. Bare fordi man har prøvet det før betyder det ikke at det ikke er en stor oplevelse med sådan en lille en.
