On April 10, 2008 at 10:49 am I gave birth to a healthy 7 pound 4 ounce baby boy! We named him Matteo and he is very cute. Some people say he looks like Cos, others say like me…we will see in a few months. His eyes are dark blue right now like Stefania’s when she was born so hopefully they stay light like hers as well. The c-section went well dispite the latex catheter they put in beforehand..I guess they forgot that I was allergic to latex so they had to change it right before surgery and after my spinal freezing. That was really the worst part of it. With the spinal I felt some tugging going on during surgery and a lot of pressure the moment they delivered him but never any pain. When they finally announced to us that it was a boy, i told Cos “it’s a boy” (eventhough he was right beside me and heard everything) and I started to cry and he was just in awe. And then he told me he had something to tell me later on and something for the baby. It ended up being a balloon that said “it’s a boy” on it that he had noticed in the waiting room while he was waiting to be called into the surgery room. He said that when he saw that balloon it was a sign to him that it would be a boy. We are so happy that we have a happy healthy addition to our family and we wish nothing but the best for both him and Stefania. Stefania is really cute with him, she always wants to touch and kiss him now, and just yesterday she started wanting to hold him, so we helped her do so. Matteo is easy going and doesn’t seem to mind, just last night I heard him laughing in his sleep, maybe he was dreaming of Stefania..lol. Anyway, that is my story about the birth of our 2nd gift from God. I will try to write again soon!!
