I had a baby!

A picture of the first time Nolan and I met after 8 hours of labor. Not the most prettiest picture of us but definitely a special moment.


 I'll always remember the first time I saw his cute face.  After I delivered Nolan a nurse brought him by me for a quick moment to meet him.  He was tiny!  He was only 4 lbs and 10 oz.  and he came six weeks early because I had developed a condition called pre-eclampsia.   I had just a couple of seconds to kiss him and they took him away to the advanced nursery to stabilize him.  

Honestly everything happened so fast.  We are so thankful we were in Guam for the delivery.  I felt really well take care of by Dr. Kaaren Zvonik and the nurses at Labor and Delivery at Guam Memorial Hospital.  


Visiting Nolan in the advanced nursery


 It's hard to believe that I had baby Nolan eight weeks ago.  Today he's almost ten pounds and full of life.  I'm so blessed to have him in my life. <3

Parenthood: The best, most exhausting, most beautiful, scariest, most rewarding, most difficult, most enriching experience ever. Welcome to the club. I know you and Greg are awesome parents! I hope we can meet Nolan someday soon!
