Who's the Daddy? Well, I guess it's me. Tidy!
My daughter was born today.
That's it, really. Nothing more monumental could possibly happen in my life ever again. What an extraordinary event!
And unlike every other baby I've ever met, she's genuinely beautiful. And she's super-clever and everything already! I bet she'll be a Nobel Prize winner or something.
Christ, what a day - actually what a couple of days. I feel like I've just had the maddest student party ever, and I got bladdered and trolleyed and now it's the Monday after and I have to pick up the rest of my life.
Except, for the rest of my life, I'm a father.
Wow, man.
The detailed story of the day will have to wait until I'm a little more with it. Suffice to say, Helen was amazing. Totally calm throughout, minimum of fuss, no screaming, just a lot of hard bloody work. Honestly, I'm weeping with pride writing about her. She was magnificent.
I should sleep. I can't, but I should.
