Meet Sherwin Aedyn

12 hours after Abby’s water broke, we are blessed with a new son – born at 3:28pm and 4.8 lbs. I thought I knew how it would feel to be in this situation based on stories friends tell me and movies I’ve seen but the feeling is uncomparable, unpredictable, unbelieveable, and more amazing than I can ever imagine. As soon as I heard him cry it just brought tears to my eyes knowing that that sound tells me that he’s breathing on his own. We were a little concern since he’s 5 weeks early. But according to the doctors, so far he’s doing okay.

Here’s some more pics – http://www.flickr.com/photos/w1n78/sets/72157612505241216/ -  and a video. More updates to follow.

Abby is in labor

Abby woke me up this morning around 3:30am – her water broke. So I grabbed our bags and headed off to the hospital. So far everything looks normal according to the initial tests. We’re still waiting for the doctor to arrive. From what we know she is scheduled for a ceserean section in a few hours.

Our Viacord kit arrived. I wished I had taken care of it sooner but since we’re already at the hospital they had to rush one to us at the cost of $150. It’s okay though, it’s for the good of the future.

So I’m blogging in the hospital room right now just waiting for the doctor to come in and update us. I’ll post more later. Wish us luck.
