The Labor and Delivery room. We got there April 15 around 1:30am in the morning.
The nurse is setting her up for the big push.
Ok, I got a shot on this one too. Ansama ko ano!
Well the nurse said, "Dad, relax." So wala naman akong magawa eh. Di click na lang ng click.
Funny. We actually went to the child birth classes. We learned breathing exercises. 3 breathing techiques to ease the pain. But you know what... they Don't work. You know what works????
YES...Epidural baby!!! See how she's smiling now? That's her anesthesiologist checking her. I was even able to get them to pose. Hmmm... could it be that she's smiling coz he's good lookin???
Our friends on duty the night before.
Look!!! she's still smiling. She even got a nap for 2 hours.
By 12pm She was in pain again. She was getting successive contractions but she didn't progress from 3cm. By 3:00pm the doctors decided to deliver the baby by C-Section.
Katrina's first glimpse of light.
And my first look at her... Di ako madrama pero napaluha ako ng makita ko sya. Parang nabuhusan ako ng ewan.
When the doctors brought her up for this shot, she grabbed one of the forceps and won't let go. Anak, gusto mong maging surgeon?
Ok, she's all cleaned up. The nurse said she has great lungs. And she still does... Nakaka-kalbo pag umiiyak sya...hehehe
That's papa cutting her cord. The nurse voluntered to get this shot.
Baby tortilla!!!
She's in her quiet ready state...
But not for long...
Her first bath
Look at all that hair.
Ok, we're all done!!!
Tita Myrna.
After a week, She will give birth to baby girl Kyla.
That's tita Juvy.
Ano Juv's sundan mo na ulit si James.
Tita Arci was scared to hold her the first time. Pinilit lang namin...Pero tingnan mo naman galing pa din mag-pose kahit kinakabahan.
Tita Leah and Sandy, tickling her.. I guess.

Sinong Kamukha?
Ate Keisha and baby
I can't wait to take care of my brother.
Keisha's mom is also pregnant and they are expecting a baby boy this June.
Ate Doll (Their head nurse) with mom nursing. (Pwede kaya dito to?)
Dr Hoffman. Very cool guy and messy hair.
He was on vacation when mom gave birth. His partner delivered our baby.
My business user in Tampa said to beware. My daughter has his hair.. HMMMMMM, anong intriga yan...
Haha, she's 3 days old and she knows how to hold the pacifier.
Tito Humprey and Tita Sheila.
They are also expecting a baby boy this June.
We have 6 friends who are nurses in overlook and also pregnant... Baby boom in overlook hospital. Nagpapadami mga pinoy.
Ok, someone volunteered to get this shot. I'm finally in the picture... Yeeyyy!!!
Group Pic. Color of the day... BLACK (ba't kaya?).
It's really nice when she sleeps. I can sneak in anything up her head.
Time to go home!!! Mom's final pose in the recovery room.
We're home and she's happy...
Of course, I just changed her diapers
A relaxing sleep after an hour's worth of crying...
Goodness, whatever shall we do with that hair!!!
ZZZzzzZZZzzZZ
Katrina, 5 days old.
When she's sleepy... she can do it any position available.
If we hold the hair for an hour this way, maybe it will flatten.
I guess not!
Bulaga, kala nyo ha!
I think my mittens doesn't match my dress!
Dad, can you change my mittens?
He's not listening. Well... at least I tried. He's got no fashion sense.
Ok, where was I?
Hey Mom look, my mittens matches the color of my swing.
Woohooo...gutom ako.
Hey what is that?????
Mom, trying to calm her down.
Ssshhh... we're going to have a picture...
Ok she won't calm down. So we just had it anyway..
And, that's all folks!
Hope you enjoyed!!!
