Our Baby Girl

It all started in the evening of Tuesday Nov. 8th when Isabel's contractions were about ten minutes apart while having dinner at home. We were so thankful that baby decided to wait until Auntie Lulu came home from China as an extra pair of hands to take care of the boys while we went to the hospital was crucial. Mom was already here from TO and we were already enjoying home cooked meals and her wonderful care!

We left to the hospital at 10:00pm and baby came at 2:27am. Isabel would concur that this is by far the most laborious labor even though she felt as though she's had prior experience. With no meds, and a painful (very, very PAINFUL) back labour, Emilia was born after four pushes. What made Isabel endure this kind of pain is knowing that this will be the last time!! And of course, having Vince's enduring support through it all, also made it more bearable.

We would love to introduce you to our newest addition to the Chan Familia:
