a new baby and an old back
on jan 18th, 2005, 11:24am, p and i were blessed with the birth of our child, aiden paul kuo (more info here) we are both thankful to our friend gretchen for assisting with the birth since i've been having a nagging back injury for the last two weeks, which has sent me straight to the floor for 3 days, both weeks. i am a bit tired, so i added the link to our new baby blog for simplicity, instead of typing everything over.
it's funny. i thought i'd be much more tired from staying up all night, but actually, i got really good rest. p had an epidural and the drs and nurses would give us times when they would return to the room so i was able to sleep on the bench for a couple hours at a time. and since the pushing was only about 15 minutes long, it was all over quite quickly. and the rest of the stay was quite easy for me, really, since p's got the goods, but i do believe i woke up each time the baby came into the room just to take a look.

Sounds like everything is going well so far - especially since you have time to blog. :) Even with all the late-night feedings and whatever, I say savor the experience. :) How much time do you get off work for paternity?
hey irene. time to blog... well, p's got the goods, so it's pretty easy for me... kind of. i've been getting up with her to help change diapers and just be supportive. no one told me about that, but it's all worth it. aiden is soooooo cute. it's hard to take my eyes off him.
You are getting good to be fatherhood!
