Anyday has come...
UPDATE! I forgot to mention that he weighed 8 pounds. Just a little more than all the rest. The midwife visited last night and mentioned that if all births were like this she wouldn't be a midwife. And I suppose we wouldn't have five kids. And lastly, he peed for the first time last night, all over dad.
Well after all the false labour and after making the last one, the hardest of all DeFreitas' births. Emerson Ayerton Willik DeFreitas is home.
Emerson was born yesterday morning, 22nd of May, 2008 at 5:15AM. Emerson was stuck for the longest time not being able to go into the birth canal. I'll spare you the story. Long story short, after a very painful night for my beautiful, although very tired wife, Emerson was born. Contractions started at 8AM the previous day.
We're all happy to have Emerson home. You can see more photos of Emerson by linking to the photo above.
Congratulations to you both!!! What a beautiful baby! How much did he weigh?

Posted by: edI don't know if God's got other plans, but if he does, it's now out of my hands :).
Posted by: edHey Eddie--how goes it with the new little one? Is he popular among all his brothers and sisters? How's Vun doing? I was happy to hear about the birth... congrats to the whole fam, from the whole fam...
Posted by: RQthe little one is doing great. In true DeFreitas children form, he's a pretty good baby. Very popular among the other children, except maybe Senzenina. Not that he's unpopular with her, she just doesn't really care either way. Marcelo is totally cool with him, wants to hold and kiss him all the time. And Xanda just wants to be mom.
Vun's doing really well!!!
