December 24th gift from God

On Dec 24, we arrived at the hospital. Tomo was having regular contractions and it began to hurt. Around 2 am she requested the elixir of the gods the almighty "epidural". The anesthesiologist asked me to leave while the procedure was being done. But my wife said he was a kind of a started to different guy "not so sociable". When he couldn't get the shot into my wife's spine he started to say "your bones were tight" and then got really frustrated when he saw a pink tennis ball on the bed which we were using to massage her back. Anyways in about 1 hour I was able to come back and Tomo was feeling a whole lot better (I was at the waiting room watching "American Dad" on the Cartoon Network). We ended up sleeping til about 6 am. When we woke up, Tomo was having the shakes and couldn't stop. Also during that time she started to have a bit of a fever around 102. They needed to start to push. So around 10:44 am they started to push. Also praise God, our doctor who we though was not going to deliver was able to deliver us though we appreciate all the on call doctors that came to see us. After quite a bit of pushing, Tomo on 12:41 pm, little Nathan came out. On the last pushes, there was a mirror that she could see and started pushing and saw Nathan came out! That was motivation for her to push hard. I cut the umbilical cord and the nurses got Nathan to cry and we were able to lay Nathan on Tomo's tummy. Then we were able to hold our little baby! We were able to skype the image to Tomo's dad in Taiwan and of course my parents were extremely proud of having their first grandson and I was extremely proud to have my first son! Praise God!!!
