Hello My little Jordan,
I thought it was about time i wrote up my version and events and how your daddy felt throughout the ordeal. Its currently Saturday 12th April 2008 at 9am, i was woken by you since 7ish by your "oohhhs and aik" and then your crying cuz you pee'd yourself....
So Where should i start, how about the creation =P,
"And on the 7th day he rested", actually no he didnt get to rest i think by the 7th day we were in Tokyo. Just 4 days earlier your daddy had proposed to your mummy at the water temple in Kyoto. After carrying around that ring in my pocket for 3 days i waited for the right opportunity....each time i thought of where i could do it, originally i thought the Umeda sky garden above a tower in tokyo but your mother kept saying we'll do that later and then she said we'll go to the temple today its well known for its love shrine. "What an opportunity i thought, just perfect, just hope it was a run down temple surrounded by beggars".
Took me all morning to prepare myself up for the greatest thing in my life at that point of time, ok so we walked through the temple that morning, there was like hundred of people there, so many school excursions at the same time, i was thinking this is great for Uncle Joey, hahaha he was going to be in Japan a week after us.
Finally walking through the temple we found the love shrine, we prayed and rang that giant bell, like in the anime where u ring the giant bell and a giant kittycat appears and grants you 3 wishes...till this day i keep telling your mum i wished for a playstation 3, but actually i was hoping she'd say yes...anyways we came up to the magical stone/rock, actually it was just some large boulder with a gold plated sign on it, apparently your meant to start from about 25metres away and walk towards the rock with your eyes closed or blindfolded, if you made it without running into anyone your love will come true...so obviously there was like 50million school girls doing it and i thought boy thats so funny watching these people cheat and taking peeks or getting friends to clear the way..hahaha how typical japanese schoolgirls....so silly.....ok its time to check out the next area so i turn around to try and find your mother, hmmm i wonder where she is...hey check it out that little japanese girl is walking towards that rock, hey wait that looks like mummylo...mummylo = silly japanese girl......Wooooooo she made it all the way!....it helps being small...hehhehe.....i thought at that point maybe i should run and stand next to the rock wife the ring out but just as i was about to about 50 people entered the area....hahhaa...damn....anyways so your daddy eventually asked outside the toilets...haha....actually it was a little park bench near the toilets of the shrine, i remember asking your mum what she wished for early at the love shrine and then showed her the ring and asked her was this what she wished?...and the rest is how you were created...
Back in Australia, everything was great...we had told our family and friends about us being engaged and we planned for a wedding in November 2008. Life was great, daddy had recently started a new job and had a great fiancee...
Then 1 month later, we found out your mummy was pregnant with you...i was pretty calm until i realised i had to tell your grand-daddy mak and grandmummy mak...ohh no...what am i going to say.....i've never been so nervous in my life i recall shaking when your grandmummy found out, can u imagine how i was when your granddaddy was told......hhhaa passed out on the floor....just kidding.....
(By the way your lying next to me while i write this, and staring blankly away at the screen wondering what daddy is doing..ok finally dozed off again)
So the wedding was brought forward to Nov 2007, it was such a fantastic day, it went by so fast...did i mention your mummy was stunning in her white wedding gown...i think i was the luckiest man alive that day.....it now became the happiest day of my life, only thing is what day was it on again?i think up until this point having you still hadnt hit yet...life hadnt really changed that much, except daddy was a lot poorer, i sold my car and all my shares to pay for the wedding and then started looking for stuff on special for you...but the feelings were still the same....many friends still couldnt imagine me as a dad as i enjoyed my video games and toys...to tell the truth neither could i.....i didn't know if i was ready to be a dad or if i even knew how....
2 weeks from the due date, i recall everynight i'd say goodnight to mummy tummy and tell u just keep swimming and head for the light...i don't think u realised which way to swim,your mummy said u responded to swimming but obviously you were heading the wrong way...
1st Mar, ohh we were all so excited and looking forward to you coming today....daddy was at work waiting for the call, i kept ring home every few hours wondering if you were comming yet and grand-daddy lo kept asking the same....everyone was excited with anticipation....i remember your mummy and i wondering what you would look like.....and so the day passed with nothing happening...and then the next day and then a whole week....
where was babylo? the anticipation had gone down and everyone was restless....i kept having to ask your mummy each day have u felt anything, has he moved today...i was pretty worried you hadnt come on time and with each passing day i had to be sure u were fine and put my hand over your mummy's tummy to make sure u were ok....how relieved i was each time i checked and you were moving...
finally the 8th march 2008, your mum woke me at 6am saying she could start to feel something but wasnt really sure, i was still half a sleep (so tired) its probably another fake contraction....so we went to sleep.....7am its back again...and kept going and going....your mum refused to go to the hospital and she didnt want to sit there and wait, but your grandmother mak and i kep trying to tell her its time to go now otherwise she might not be able to walk....its quite frustrating at times getting your mum to do something she doesnt want to even though its for her own good...anyways 2hrs of convincing later she finally got changed and we were off to the hospital...by this time her contractions were stronger and more frequent and she had started to dilate.....
throughout the next 15hrs it was pretty difficult for me, your mummy would be in so much pain every few minutes but there wasnt anything i could do, felt so hopeless and useless.....finally at the birth pushing time, i had to take the video of you being born, i remember your mum and i use to joke that i'd pass out, i guess i was too excited and worried about your mother and you to even notice all the blood i was fine. I recall the first thing i saw was your little hair sticking out, cool just like daddy i thought...heheheh spikey hair... then finally at 9:51pm i saw your little face....your mummy had given birth to a very healthy and larger than expected little monkey boy....hahaha you were so hairy....and suddenly it hit, you were here....the missing link....i felt so relieved, and your mummy was fine too...
i think over the next few days seeing u and changing your smelly diapers it cemented our little bond (or is that more like poo than cement), im so happy to have you for my son and look forward everyday to rush home from work to see you...who would have thought that i was ready to be a dad...i still remember the first time you pee'd on me and then you smiled....cheeky little monkey boy! ..i wonder what your first word will be "Daddy?", "Mummy?", "Moet?" or maybe even "yuni-girl".
Do u know u always stick out your little pinky like Dr Evil from Austin Powers movie, your mummy was watching that the night before you were born...ohh did i mention that the day you were born was also now equally the best day of my life along with your mother saying "I Do"...
Anyways I hope going forward i can be a good daddy and hopefully you will see me not only as a dad but as a close friend....and that your mummy and i raise you right....
Love Daddylo...
P.S hopefully by the time you can walk, daddy has his little evo to carry you in.
