I wanted to see the new born baby…
I wanted to see that wrinkled, monkey-like baby…
Well, it can't be helped, because my wife is the one who gives birth, and the hospital where she can feel safe is the best.
There is another chance I can see a newborn baby!
I told myself so.
And then, the night after the 3-month check-up…
"Do you want to be present at the birth?"
My wife took care of me and talked to me.
"Yes. It might be a once-in-a-lifetime chance, so I'd like to see a newborn baby, but since the new coronavirus infection is spreading, it can't be helped."
When I answered like that, my wife said,
"Then let's go to another hospital."
I was really happy.
There aren't many opportunities in life to see the moment a baby is born, especially if it's my own.
There is no doubt that if I met my five-day-old baby, I would be deeply moved, but there must be some things that I can only feel when I see a newborn baby, the moment my baby is born.
I really wanted to know that.
I am very grateful to my wife who responded to my request.
Therefore, we decided to go to a metropolitan hospital for checkups until the next time (4th month), and after that, to have a checkup at a hospital where I could be present at the birth.
to be continued...
