NOVEMBER 1, 2006, 10:45AM - When our funny labor nurse (not pictured; she's Hungarian - isn't New York so diverse!) came by our birthing room at around 7AM, she told us that she didn't expect Karen to go into active labor until the afternoon. This was fine since Karen was comfortable and we were ready to get some sleep in preparation for pushing this baby out. However, when the attending obstetrician on call, Dr. Amos Grunebaum www.grunebaum.com/about/), examined Karen at around 8AM, he surprised us with a report that she is already fully dilated. (Dr. Grunebaum is pictured with another assisting nurse who was very supportive).
The epidural was halted and Karen started pushing at around 9AM. Karen did a great job in pushing and the entire birthing process was such an inspiring experience. Kristen Samantha was born into this world at 10:45AM weighing 6 pounds, 11 ounces. She was healthy, active and alert. What an awesome experience.

Hi! Nakakaiyak talaga yung mga pictures ninyo! It's so great that in the midst of everything, life finds itself doing what it does. What does it do? It creates infinite possibilities.
Cheers!
