Father of Daughters

Announcing Isabella Trinity-Hope. 

As a father of 2 daughters everyone was asking me, "hope its a boy?" I have to admit that I do want to know what its like to be father to a son, but

 let me tell you the story of my 3rd daughter's birth and why I'm grateful. I've watched all 3 of my girls be born, but this pregnancy was the first time we decided to be 'surprised' at the birth by the gender. Kathy was 2 days overdue and I was very tired sitting at the hospital all day waiting for the latest Buchanan addition. Then at around 10pm the action be

gan. In just 2 pushes the baby's head was out, but it was a dark purple. I was scared and was trying hard not to let on so that Kathy didn't worry. The cord was wrapped around the baby's neck and she app

eared lifeless. I instantly started praying. I bargained with God, "Ok Lord, I give up, I don't care if its a boy any longer, just help this baby survive." Just then the doctor was able to cut the cord from around the neck, and turned to me. "Want to announce it dad?"

"IT's a GIRL!!!"

A few minutes later after suctioning her clear, cleaning her off, and checking her vitals they gave mom this PERFECT baby girl. And I am grateful.
