He's Here!

Left ya hangin' a bit, didn't I?

Well, as you may have already guessed, our little bundle of happiness was born. Actually, he was born not too long after the last posting. It was quite easy this time around. I did end up getting the epidural which helped a lot. I still felt the contractions coming on and they were strong, but I felt in control. Three pushes and the little guy was out.

Before I was wheeled away to the recovery room, Gusi and my mom came by. It was so incredible to see how happy Gusi was at the thought of his little brother finally making his appearance. I have to say that I'm quite impressed at how Gusi is handling this. He wants to hug, kiss, snuggle and hold his baby brother all the time. And even though we've got friends and family coming to see the new baby, he's quite happy to see everyone himself.

The question that now pops into my mind is how will Gusi adapt to going back to Dakar? The baby is easy enough, but Gusi will go through another enormous change and he's more conscious of his surroundings now. I hope it goes smoothly.

In any case...I'm now the mother of TWO. Life is about to take us to a new level of love.
