Welcome Nathan Zhu

This month on the 28th, Nathan was born at Sutter Hospital. It was a really long day for all of us.
I was at the hopsital with Trang and Kenny from 3am on the 28th all the way until she delivered at 9:45 pm.

It was such a different experience being on the other side, you know watching instead of being the one in labor. My heart went out to her coz she was having back labor too. She tried to take the pain, but opted for an epidural when she couldn't take it any more. I know that if it wasn't too late for me, I would have gotten one too.

Once she was finally 10 cm, it was myself, mom, chi hai, and co ut, and of course kenny in the labor room. i was filming, while everyone else held her legs and giving her motivation. When i saw nathan's head coming out, i have to be honest, i got a little scared. Then when they gave her an episiotomy, that freaked me out even more. I was wondering..."Is that what they did to me? Is that what it looked like?"

Then he finally came out! it was so exciting and emotional. I was trying to hold back my tears of hapiness. I can't wait to do it all again.

We took Stailynne to visit her new cousin the day after he was born. She wouldn't even look at him. She looked at everything but him, but got jealous when I held him. I didn't think she was old enough to get jealous. I hope she learns to like him, and that they become good friends when they grow up.
