SIXTY ONE February 11 - We went to see Dr. Tan today as she intimated that today she might need to induce Lynn. However, things took major turn when we did the ultrasound and it was determined that Alex had not yet turned and more importantly she is expected to come out between 7 and 8 pounds. Now the prospect of a caesarian appears to be the delivery method of choice. Dr. Tan suggested we check into the hospital tonight and see what happens by mid-morning tomorrow. Hopefully, Alex will have turned and labor start and we still have the chance of a natural delivery. Nevertheless, we don't want to kid ourselves and it appears even under the best of outcomes that Alex we come by way of caesarian. It would not be fair to put Lynn through the agony of delivering Alex at this size and weight.
February 12 - Lynn was taken to the Labor Room early this morning around 7:00am and Dr. Tan determined that the contractions were coming faster and warranted delivery. The problem was the estimate on Alex's weight and it was decided as suspected Caesarian would be the delivery method. Lynn was taken to the operating room for the c section. Unfortunately I was not permitted in during the procedure but I was fortunate enough to find a surgical nurse who would take photos for me. Alexandra Victoria came into this world at 8:26am Philippine time. She was exactly 7 lbs. and was 19.68 inches in length. Following are the first photos of her.
