Zac at the Park

My Filipina friend and I decided to bring our sons in the park today since the sun is up and it is not cold. This is the first time that Zac went to the park so I was excited for him. The park is just walking distance away from our house actually it is only 2 or 3 blocks away. As usual, he fell asleep in his stroller on our way to the park and started waking up when we got in there. He usually fell asleep whenever you rock him and during ride and will make noises once the car stops (even stop light) hehe. Here is a pic of him in the park together with Mr. Snuggle.


I am so busy this past few weeks that I am not able to update this blog. I will try to catch up tomorrow and the next day.

Zac supports COLTS

Zac supports Colts from head to toe on their game to Superbowl. GO COLTS!!!

First appointment to his Pediatrician

This morning was Zac's first appointment to his pedia. The 3 of us (me, hubby & Zac) was up early to go to the clinic. Jeez! it was freaking 10F outside and we all need to hurry in getting inside the car or else we might turn into popsicle sticks lol!

Inside the clinic, after hubby filled out some papers, the nurse checked Zac's weight. He weighs 7.52 lbs. when he was born and weighs 6.10 lbs after a couple of days. The nurse told me that it is normal to an infant to lose 7 % of its weight after few days the baby was born. I found this site which explains on why. Zac's weight went 6.18 lbs. on the 5th day which was a good sign because infant shouldn't continue losing weight. Anyway, his weight now is *drum roll* 8.10 lbs. woohooo! He gained almost 2 lbs. in 15 days :D The pedia told us everything looks fine with Zac and his jaundice was gone :)

We then went home and finally, I received the call I have been waiting for. It is the call from his urologist. Actually, it was his secretary who called me.The secretary told me that Zac's urologist already reviewed his record of ultrasound from the hospital where he was born. She said that his urologist wants him to have another KUB. Why? the urologist said that usually, babies are born dehydrated til their second day which makes the KUB result inaccurate if it is done within the day that he is born til his 2nd day. Sooo now, Zac is scheduled to have his 2nd KUB on Jan 18th.

I hope that everything will be fine. I love my son and I always pray for his safety and health.

Zachary's smile

My son's smile make my day brighter and his smile makes me smile. His smile gives me strength to do my everyday task and his smile makes my day complete. I just love looking at him whenever he smile and I promise that I'll try to always make him smile :)

Welcome baby Zachary!

I know that I am already late in posting this. I was very busy taking care of my sweet lil' son ever since he was born last Dec. 17, 2009. So, Ok! I'll share now on what happened on my labor and delivery at the hospital.

8:00 AM - We arrived in the hospital.

8:30 AM - I was already 6cm but i didn't feel any contraction. They gave me IV

9:00 AM - They gave me Epidural so that I won't feel any labor pain.

9:30 AM - They gave me Petocin and they break my bag of water.

10:00 AM - I was 8cm already. While I was watching TV in our room, they asked me on what time do I want to start pushing. I told them I want 12PM because that is the time that Ellen De Generes show is over LOL! The nurses just laughed at me

11:30 PM - I was 9 1/2 cm dilated.

12:00 PM - I was exactly 10cm, The Ellen show is over and I was ready to push

2:34 PM - The baby was delivered through normal delivery. He weighs 7.52 lbs and 20 1/2 inches long and we have another good news! He had his ultrasound and his kidneys are cleared He still needs to see his Urologist though to have his KUB just to make sure that there is really no more liquids in his kidneys.

I didn't feel ANY pain at all because they gave me Epi first before Petocin. My husband was with me during the delivery and during delivery, they were wondering on why i am laughing while pushing LOL! I know I was weird. I was laughing because I expected the worst pain in this world but I never felt any pain at all! Ain't that sweet?

My husband is so cute. He told me that he will be with me during my delivery but he will not look "down there" while I am pushing. But when the midwife said "I can see the head now! Keep pushing!" then hubby looked and didn't stopped looking "down there" LOL! He actually keep on telling me to push more and more while holding my hand and rubbing gently my head which gave me more strength in pushing :) After I gave birth, I asked him if it grossed him out watching me delivering the baby. He said "No, it was actually amazing" lol!

I am soooo thankful to God with this wonderful blessing
And to all the pregnant women that will give birth soon, good luck to you all and may you all have safe delivery!
