Can we all be her Folkie Fairygodders?

Start practicing up on your "so you wanna date my daughter" routines. By preschool you will need to be very, very good with that!

Jacinta:

You're obviously a headstrong chile, and off to a great start being born 4500 miles from your Paw. Once you get a little closer you 'll discover he is quite a guy, no worries. Meanwhile, study up that NSW accent so you can impress all your future Yankee friends when you bat your eyelashes and say "Naow Worries, Mite!!" :D

Aha! Now I know what you meant on my birthday thread when you said I might be in good company soon. So was it the 28th? Wow, Kogarah is just down the road too - about 5 km from here in Earlwood.

Anyway, congratulations to you, Jeaniekoala and Jacinta!

Adorable little thing. Almost as beautiful as my granddaughters!! Blessings on the 3 of you. Start singing to her immediately, if not sooner. Get her used to several different kinds of "folk" music. It will sweeten her life. You know it's made yours better.

You now begin learning: How many different things I can do with individual fingers, while holding the baby in both arms. The mind will boggle.

How heavy? How long? How many fingers & toes? God, the stuff men forget to say.   Tw

Last 'I' knew, Gin was still in Canada...NOT NSW...which means he left his lady to do this on her own. Which is why I told him to get his arse to Oz....asap pronto. IF he has gone to Oz, I haven't heard it.

HOT FLASH

Why don't the writers here compose a lullaby or bedtime song for Jacinta? Now, that would be a seriously good b'day present for the wee gal.

Thanks everyone! Sorry I have not responded earlier. I have been quite busy with work and various phone calls and such. The mother is doing quite well, she cannot move much though. I spoke with her tonight. and we talked quite a while. Apparently she may not go home until Sunday or Monday.
Jacinta is in a 24 hour watch to be sure everything is right. Apparently she was a little sick, which is normal for newborns, but is feeling alot better.
She was born at 2210 on 29/09/04. She also came into this world like a Caesar ;). All reports are that she is absolutely gorgeous and so I hope she doesn't resemble me much...she would look odd with a beard.

Jeanie went into the hospital @ 2000 Sunday evening to begin inducement due to various issues (high blood pressure and gestational diabetes) and for three days nothing was happening. They were giving her tablets every 6 hours then Tuesday they upped it to every 4 hours and still nothing happening. Finally, this morning (Oz time) they put her on a drip, which eventually caused her to be dilated enough to break the water. When I spoke to her prior to the birth, she started having contractions. Apparently Jacinta was too big they decided to do the c-section and they couldn't do a epidural (sp?) for some reason so they did a general, knocking her out.

Meanwhile, Dad is still in Oregon getting his affairs in order so he may join his family. My debts are almost paid and should be paid within a month.

Anyways, thank you everyone for your congrats! They are really appreciated.

Nathan Tompkins proud father a true blue Ozzie!

In the dawning of the world
I dialed the phone
To see if your life dawned as well
Oh how I yearned to watch you
And welcome you into this world
And hold you rocking in my arms
And sing to you.
I still desire to hold you
And softly whispper songs into your ear.
Although I was not there
I know you felt my love
I know you saw me there
Standing beside your lovely mother
As you came into the world as a Caesar
A shining empress, bathed in Heaven's light
The time will come, my beautiful daughter,
When we shall meet in person, not in spirit
And I will hold you to my breast
And teach you my magic, love, poetry, and song.

From a father of two daughters, Your good health, mate.
I sang mine to sleep when they were difficult with the most ribald sea shanties. Trouble was, I'd think they were out for the count, each being as limp as a wet dishcloth, and as soon as a head touched a pillow, the eyes would open and I'd be in for another twenty minutes of "cruising round yarmouth" and "blow the man down".
Certainly traditional folk is an established part of both of their tastes. Sing to them, mate, and they're gonners!

                                  Warmest congratulations,

Lots of love and congratulations to you all from Lancashire:-)

If your ever in England don't forget to visit Fleetwood where the Trawler JACINTA is part of our marine heritage. She hosts a concert or two at the Fylde Folk Festival every year so little Jacinta over there in NSW has a big folk name to live up to;-)

Cheers
