Bonding with Paul

We’ve been spending time with him and caring for him.  I finally got a couple pictures with his hat off to show off his full head of black hair.

Paul is Here!

I was a little slow putting up this post because I’ve been updating twitter regularly, but:

Paul was born on April 8, 2009 at 3:57 pm. He weighed 7 lbs 11 oz (3.4 kilograms) and was 20.5 inches (52.07 cm). Keep watching the Picasa album below for picture updates, and Twitter for status updates.

I also want to thank everyone for their prayers and congratulations. The support from e-mail, Facebook, and Twitter has been overwhelming, and I’m grateful for knowing we are supported from afar. Thank you so much.

It Begins

This evening we went into the hospital to begin Pania’s labor inducement. We checked in around 4:45 pm, went through the paperwork, standard tests, and ate dinner. (Not a bad dinner for hospital food.) We are now waiting until 8 pm, when they will administer Cervidil. That induces some women into labor, so it could begin as early as tonight sometime, depending on how far along Pania already is. There are some indications that she has begun early labor already.

It should be a long night.

2 days left

The countdown now is 2 days. We’ll go to the hospital on Thursday evening and get induced with a hope for delivery on the next day.
Everyone is anxious to see how Paul will look like. We both are anticipating for his arrival as a healthy baby boy. We have prepared everything, we are as ready as we can be!

For the past 3 days, I’ve been having a mild stomach pain. Can this be a sign? :)
