Introducing Amazing Grace!
It's amazing how fast time flies after having a kid. It's even more amazing how fast time flies after the second one is born!! On March 30, 2009 at 3:09 pm, the Chan Clan was finally able to meet its newest addition face to face: Grace Chung Yan Chan!
Grace's entrance into the world was far less dramatic than James' (thank God!!!), but every bit as exciting! Weighing in at 7 lbs 9 oz (the EXACT same weight as James when he was born!), and standing at 20 inches, Grace is doing fine! I'm happy to say that I got to bypass all of the labor part of the actual labor - because of the difficulty of the first birth, and because the high chance of the same thing happening again, it was decided that having a repeat cesarean section would be the best route to take.
We had to arrive at the hospital by 8 am and was scheduled to be the second cesarean of the day. However, due to other women deciding to deliver their babies breech/having multiples/getting in the way (just kidding, those women were major troopers!), we got pushed down the line and didn't get into the OR until after 2 pm. In the meantime, Dan and I got to watch a lot of TV and relax. Dan didn't seem to mind hanging out in those scrubs!
Recovery was really quick this time around as well - I went into the hospital on Monday, and was able to go home by Wednesday afternoon! But not before having our celebratory lunch! I though the "It's a Girl!" champagne glasses were a nice touch (now to find a set that say "It's a Boy!" - I didn't get that when James was born!)
