This morning, at 3:00 am, Judy and I headed to the hospital for our C-Section scheduled for 7:00. We arrived at the hospital at around 4:00 to get her prepared for the delivery.
Right on time, we went into the OR, and 28 minutes later, our second son entered the world with a voice that gives competition to that of his older brother. He has a lot of hair on his head–more than Imanuel had, but it’s lighter. In many ways, the two Ramos Boys look the same at first glance.
I was able to be with Judy during the delivery, and she did very well. We’re thankful to God that everything went very well and we were able to enjoy this moment together. Imanuel loves his brother even though it took him a little time to get used to him. He calls him by his name and constantly comments on his hat, how he sleeps. He likes touching his nose and grabs his face to kiss him.

Our pediatrician is a member of our church and makes killer Thai food: Dr. Rajanee Sripaipan
They hooked Judy up to this machine — it’s a heater!
The hose plugged into her robe
This was the result. (We had to hold Judy down from flying away)
They poked Judy 5 times before being able to get the IV in. It was kind of painful for her.
But she tried to maintain a happy spirit…
This is how she really felt though

Thanks to Tom and Daniel for calling to pray with us–good Adventist elders. And thanks to all of those who kept us in prayer.
We look forward to the Thanksgiving holiday with our growing family.
