OK, so I’ve been slack getting the “new and improved” Duncan Soup back online, but today is a good occasion to post something. Firstly, Ella turns two-months old today. Secondly, it’s also Father’s Day. Is there a better present for a father than holding his sweet little girl?
Ella Marie Anne Duncan was born on April 19th at 9:06 a.m. weighing 3.64 kg (8 lbs) and 49 cm (19.3″). She was delivered via a C-section by Dr. André Safar at Natecia Hospital in Lyon. Though I couldn’t be in room (and I had to pay for my own popcorn & soda), everything was carried out with textbook execution. My only problem with the delivery was the lack of communication from the nursing staff: I was supposed to watch the event through a window that opened onto the delivery room. I kept waiting for the blinds to open for “the show,” though it wasn’t suppose to start until 9:30 a.m. It never happened and I didn’t heard any news until a nurse came out and said “Mr. Duncan, you can come and see your daughter.” WTF? Apparently, the blind was broken and couldn’t be raised. After screaming “well don’t you think someone should have told me this!” and a few obscenities at the nursing staff, I quickly calmed down once I saw Little Miss Duncan. Everything previous to that moment didn’t matter anymore.
She looks exactly like her brother.
