We welcomed Taka Yamazaki O'Keefe into the world on December 8th, 2008 at 11:44 pm.
Rie went to work on Monday morning and called about noon to say I had to come pick her up. By 4 pm we were admitted into a delivery room.
The contractions were a little painful as the anesthesiologist on duty came in to get Rie fixed up but then his beeper went off calling him to an emergency and we didn't see him for at least an hour and a half.
Aki held mom's hand as he watched the Disney Channel (the delivery room has cable tv and many more channels than we have at home) and sucked on his box milk.
Aki took a short nap but was awake and quite engaged when the baby came out just before midnight.
Taka comes in just under 3 kg.
Mom right after the delivery quite happy to not be carrying that load around in her belly.
Mom holds Taka for the first time just a few minutes after he was born.
Aki holds Taka for the first time in the delivery room. Shortly after we all fell asleep in the delivery room before the nurse woke us up at 4 am and sent us down to our room in the newborn clinic.
Aki holds Taka the next day.
We couldn't bring our dogs but Kota came so Taka could imprint early on a Boston Terrier.
Rie and Taka stayed another night at the hospital and then we got all bundled up and went home on Wednesay.
Ishi sniffs the new creature--"oh no, not another one!"
