Giving birth to our Babydudes

October 3, 2015, I had my pre-natal check up. I was accompanied by my good friend Gwen.  It was past 2pm when my obgyn was done checking me up.  Before letting me go, she told me to have another ultrasound.  But since it was almost 3pm and we had not eaten our lunch yet, Gwen and I decided to grab a munch from a nearby KFC restaurant.  While eating, I sent a message to the ultrasound clinic to ask for their clinic hours and was told that they will just be until 2:30pm but since they are still attending 2 patients I might as well catch up.  Apparently, I was told by my obgyn's secretary to come back on Monday instead.  But there was really an impetus for me to have my ultrasound that same day.  I had to thank St Gerard Majella for the guidance as I had been praying for a safe delivery.


Fast forward, I gave birth to a healthy 3.45kg at 50cm baby boy at 9:48am on October 4, 2015 via Caesarean section. It was a Sunday and also the feast of St. Francis of Assisi.  

Looking back I just can't help but thank God for the grace and for the overflowing love of my family, relatives, and friends who visited me with the flowers and thoughtfulness.
