Nino Octavio Acuna is already 9 weeks. It is really true that kids grow fast. Before Tavo's first few months become a blur, i'm starting this blog. I will backtrack and begin at the hospital. Nino Octavio was born on his due date, Mexican Mother's Day, May 10, 2007. He weighed 7 lbs 14 oz and was 20 inches long.
I had a fairly short, but very intense natural birth. After contracting, pushing and screaming I was not sure if I could continue. Tavo's hairy little head (which is now nearly bald except for his charlie brown patch at top) was the first thing Nino saw. His telling me that he could see his brown hair encouraged me to keep on pushing. Tavo (finally) came out with his umbilical cord wrapped twice around his neck. After a few brief moments on Mama's chest, the nurses whisked him away because of his fast breathing. We impatiently waited more than 2 hours for them to bring him back to us. Once he was with us, we were really happy, at peace and in awe. I remember this as a time of bonding and resting as a family in our small hospital room that for us was the world.
