hey! look who dropped by last night! hahaha. our friends from the blogosphere. Jonel, Cathie, fppjr, and Jeff were here around 10:30pm, they just came from a food event, and wow! they brought lots of food for us heheh the Angel's Pizza is yummy, weird but so tasty and yummy, might visit that in Home Depot Ortigas soon. They hang out here and watched the edited videos of Ashton and it was like a movie premiere ahahaha. Early on that evening, the First Avenger, the First Ninong Joriben visited us at around 9:00pm and he too watched the edited video, it was great to see them here. Also on our 1st day here in The Medical City,Sire, Mabelle, Leira, Sai and Ness of Medical City visited and they too watched the video that was freshly shot in the delivery suite. I got txt messages and asking details on how and what time to visit us, we like to accommodate everyone,but we are going home anytime this afternoon, try to catch us up after lunch. Thanks everyone for coming :) and ...

And here's a closer look on Ashton at the nursery, Lace's mom visited us in the morning and we decided to check out the baby at the viewing room at 11am. I didn't expected that all people were there, but I'm glad Lace got a nice place and view where no people are in standby. We saw Ashton sleeping and showing some funny face gestures and we laugh as how he acquires our face, they say Ashton got my nose and eyes, and many thought that he is Chinese, and maputi daw kasi, and he got Lace's lips and cheeks. I took a lot of photos and video of Ashton and it's his first photo session with me hehehe, I'm now excited to do more photo session and baby photo portfolio are coming up and wanna make all my parents tempted to go visit here in the Philippines. Minutes later my mom called me on the phone and she just heard Ashton's crying while we watch the video, I uploaded some pics and video to her via email and also to Joni, Lace's sis in Melbourne...

I took this pic using the webcam of Lace's Acer laptop and since that all of my data cable and card reader are at home.. I managed to use the webcam as a still camera. Lace doesn't want yet her pic to be uploaded because she said that her look is terrible, She's here with us inside the room, having a lot of rest and the moment she lie down is that she looks for food to eat and she's hungry. I'm glad that the food ration is here and she ate all of it, plus the choco fudge cake. Nurses came in and they fix her properly on bed and applied some ice packs on her tummy and private parts as it was swollen and recovering, I saw blood under the sheets and I got dizzy and weak , you see that I have some phobias in hospitals, but I tired to be brave and help her aunt to assist Lace. We're waiting til 10pm and she's going to give her first breast feed to Baby Ashton, the milk of moms are very important and it contains a special formula to keep them healthy...

I'm not feeling well today, and since Saturday I'm already fighting this flu and colds and the night of Sunday made me feel very sick and slept early in the evening, taking some medicines and canceled all of my internet work and blogging stuff. Lace woke me up in my middle of sleep, I'm so high and weak to stand up and I think that was around 9pm or 10pm, she told me that there's blood already coming out and she might be ready to be in labor anytime, I just told her to be ready and inform everyone the plan, I'm weak and sick that night and hoping that the deliver wont push through as I need to recover. Then at 4:30am, Lace's water broke down and her mom woke me up and inform me that Lace is ready to give birth. I got my reserved energy and woke up. I check on Lace and she's on bed and told me that it is time. Everyone started to move and pack our things, we drove to The Medical City from Cavite and arrived at 5:30am. We are relaxed and calm as L...

Lace wants to name our son, Ashton, got it from my nickname Az or Ash. I kinda joke on her that the name Ashton sounds like Ashley hahahah. She want to have a pop culture or comic name. Ashton or Ash can be that from Joe Quesada's comic book "Ash" or that guy from Army of Darkness movie and not think too much Ashton Kutcher :( But wait til I wrote it in our son's birth certificate "Ashton Skywalker", I want it. And hope Lace wont get mad at me hehhe. Read Lace's mommy blog about baby names - New Books on Pregnancy, Baby Names, Etc.
