Aiden Timothy

Aiden (Little Fire) Timothy (God's Honour) Hu was born on June 7, 2012 at 10:42am, weighing 8 pounds 13 ounces, more than two pounds heavier at birth than his older sisters!

 Labour was 9 hours, with the last two being hard (he needed to be turned manually).  Mother and baby got through fine, with mom's pelvis being pretty sore - as in she could hardly walk to start with!

 

 

Grace and Jasmin were thrilled to meet their new brother! And suddenly we seemed to be back into the toddler stage: "Why?" filling the air!  But these were much more sophisticated whys!  

 

 

 

 

 

 

So it was much appreciated when the nurse checking Aiden was kind enough to let Grace and Jasmin have a listen to his heart, and explain a few things to them.

Aiden and Mommy had a four day hospital stay instead of the usual in-and-out policy because Aiden was anemic and they wanted to find out why.  Ironically, his counts went up on their own and the tests clotted so the reason was never discovered!
