If the process of making a baby were a movie genre it would be Science Fiction!
Greetings, readers of thy blog! Thanks so much for your patience during this transition period into fatherhood. Anyone who has been following my status updates may already know how things have gone over the last little while! For those of you who have not and for those who would like to know more…here you go:
After 10 days of my wife being on an induction list we got “The Call” on Mother’s Day – May 8th. We arrived at the hospital at around 3pm and got settled into the birthing room. About 40 minutes later the doctor gave Vicky (my wife) a certain cream to help catalyze labor. At the time my wife was just 3 cm dilated.
The catalyst worked immediately on Vicky and she thought that the side effects were intense. She was not looking forward to labour 
A few hours went by of Vicky having extreme back pain, but she did not think she was in labor. I went to seek a nurse to check on Vick to make sure everything was cool. There just so happened to be a shift turn-around in progress and the new nurse (Shauna) came into the room with barely enough time to introduce herself.
After an examination she reacted rather frantically :-{ She immediately fetched another nurse to confirm her exam. “Vicky, I think you are dilated to 9 cm”, says Shauna.
Vicky – “can I still have the epidural?”
Shauna – “no, it is too late”
Vicky – “what? I can’t do it! I can’t do it!
Shauna – “you can and you will!”
….and did she ever! Vicky was a Super Trooper and after 2 hours of pushing, Cohen Martin Molloy was born at 9 lbs and 10 ozs at 9:54pm.
You may be wondering, “Dude, what does this have to do with your music career?” Well, my answer is nothing and and everything.
My life has changed in a very profound way and being a dad has further justified my existence. Anyone who truly cares about my music career may have some interest in who I really am as an individual; as a husband and a father of 2 boys ( 1 of which is a fur child, a silky terrier named Amigo).
So, there you have it. A glimpse into my entry into fatherhood! For reading this and showing interest into my life, outside of music, here is a gift. Head to www.YouTube.com/patrickmolloymusic. “Cohen” is a song I wrote earlier this year. I just recorded it on my iPhone, mistakes and all! I hope Cohen will one day see it as a gift as well.
Peace and hugs and poops and pees!
Patrick
