So its now 12 days since our beautiful Daisy Lullaby Violet Bodnarchuk was born... and yes, updating the blog has taken on a lower priority, but i hope to fill in the gaps during the next few days as theres a lot to tell.
Currently Daisy is lay on my chest clutching my 'Back to the Future' T-Shirt whislt we watch a Metallica DVD on TV in my thin hope that one day I can take my daughter to her first rock concert without her kicking and screaming.
I've never really been that fussed about holding babies before but I can't put Daisy down, she is cuter than cute stuff and so chilled its an absolute pleasure to be around her (fortunately).
The day she was born was obviously an emotional day, the birth went well and was carried out early in the morning and I was a proud Dad up to about 200 photos by lunchtime. Its mad how quick a 'C' section is, i think the actual surgery took 7 minutes, they don't hang around! That made life easier as the operating theatre is quite clearly somewhere you don't want to hang out in for too long, but we have a couple of friends Mikey and Karen who work there and helped with the op so this made it all a lot more comfortable and Daisy was out to the music of The Nolans 'I'm in the mood for Dancing' before we knew it.
My hopes for that day were for a healthy baby, a healthy mum, good pictures and to change a nappy and they all got ticked off on the 4th which was awesome.; Changing nappies is so easy, i cant believe i thought it would be an issue before, i did however say to Daisy that there is a very select list of peoples nappies that i'm willing to change, and she's it; but yeah, basic.
Daisy has been sleeping for England since she was born which has been a gentle introduction to our daughter, she is gradually getting more and more aware and awake each day and even had a little play with Mr Panda and Mum yesterday which was a joy to watch.
...Well Metallica are on to Master of Puppets and Daisy is still fast asleep which boosts my hopes for sub-concious influence, we'll see. Jen fancies curry tonight which made my eyes light up brighter than the mini-missus and i think my belly is calling for it quite soon.... so the champagne is in the fridge, family life is everything and more than i hoped it would be and life pretty much rocks right now. Thanks to everyone for their lovely messages, cards and advice! the three of us look forward to seeing everyone very soon.
Damn i'm looking forward to that champagne :)
