Look! How small she is......I don't even remember that she was this small.
(Mite!! chiisai....mo- selena ga kono chiisasa datta toki no koto ota oboetenai.w)

(Byo-in ni itano wa yaku 3kakan. mochiron shussan mo fukumete.)

Don't you think it's kinda short?
(Mijikai to omowanai?)

Bobby stayed with me all the time and taught me how to treat the baby.
(Bobby wa zutto issyo ni byo-in ni itekurete saori ni baby no osewa no shikata wo oshietekureta.)

I was too scared to take care of new born baby. I think I only changed her diaper once while my hospital stay.
(Saori wa umareta bakari no Selena ni sessuru no ga totemo kowakatta....tabun 1kai guraishika omutsu kaetenai...)

But I got to do what I got to do.
(Demo yaranakya!)

Marui ne-

I was just writing about the day we discharged but somehow it's gone.
(Imasakki tanin no hi no koto wo kaitetano ni kieta...)

So I will write it again later.Now I'd like to talk about recent Selena.
(...toiukotode atode mata kakinaosu. Ima wa saikin no Selena ni tsuite kako-to omou.)

Her hair is getting long so we tried to tie up.
(Selena no kami ga nobitekitakara musundemita)

It worked. But it showed her face more rounder.lol
(Musubetakedo....nanka kao no marusa ga kyo-cho- sareteru kigasuru.)

Labor.....

**First pic of bobby&selena**
So...as I told you by last blog my baby needed to be out.
Then I was induced.
My doctor chose to use pill.
So I took....actually put it in to from my vagina.
I had no contraction and my SHIKYUKO hadn't opened any....
Hence my doctor thought I won't have baby till next day.....
But it was wrong...........soon as I used that pill....
STRONG CONTRACTION was coming EVERY 2mins or less....
I couldn't take....so I chose to use epidural.......
Anyways I was so exhausted after the labor.....

But when I hold Selena........
I don't know how to say.....
How to explain the feeling....
It was most precious moment I've ever had.
She is the most beautiful thing/gift I've ever seen/had.

Birth Day!!

I will never forget that day.
October 23rd 2008.
Selena Ann Barrios was born @ Condell Medical Center in Libertyville,Illinois.
The time was 1:48am.
21inc 7.8lb big girl.

My due date was Oct 19th.
But nothing happened and passed it.
When I went to see my doctor as a check up on Oct 22nd(Wed),he sent me to the hospital.
It seemed baby's heart beat count was lower than usual.
So my doctor sent me to the hospital.
Then I had Non-Stress-test.It was fine.Baby was fine.But still no contraction.
And then I had Ultrasound.
When the lady told me to go to the bathroom........I was misunderstanding.
Because she started to talk to my husband.So it made me think something bad was going on.
But it wasn't right.She just told me to get dress.
Then this is what I was told.

"It seems you don't have enough water."

I thought "what??" and "OMG".
I started worrying about baby.But she told me the baby is fine.
However baby needed to be out soon as possible before it's too late.

hmm......I think I will write about my labor next time......
