Jasmine's Second Week

This week i spent most of my time at home as i availed of my Paternity Leave.

On Tuesday, December 8, Jasmine underwent her first ever checkup with our very nice pedia, Dr. Joy Apostol.

Here's baby on the weighing scale. She's 3.8kg already! :)

Day 4 in the hospital

Today is our 4th day in the hospital.

Joy's recovery has been quick so far. i think we can go home later today or tomorrow morning. :)

Jasmine has been breastfeeding so vigorously. It's a miracle of life on how she attaches instinctively to her mother :)

I fell in love all over again.

Today, November 28, 2009. A new girl came into my life.

My wife found watery discharge at 3am today. After waiting for a while, the watery discharge increased + bleeding. Immediately, we called our doctor. She told us to go to the Delivery Room.

Here's the Birthing Room where Joy went into labor:


After long hours of labor, baby was not able to come out. We had to go C/S.

Fortunately, our doctor allowed me to come in the O.R. to accompany my wife. Here are some of baby jasmine's first pictures:




My parents and brothers visited us in the hospital today. They saw baby jasmine :)


Later still, baby was brought in for breastfeeding (first time for Joy). My heart melted. I was able to carry our baby for the first time :)


I am looking forward to each day of discovery with my 2 lovely ladies. I love them both :)
