We welcomed a new addition to our family on Mother's Day, May 8th, 2016! Parker Jameson Wang was born at 7:32am at the Shady Grove Adventist Hospital. He weighed 7 lbs and 19 inches long (although at his 2 weeks appointment, he measured at 21 inches, so i think he might have still been a bit compressed at birth and finally stretched out to his full actual height later)! Labor lasted 2 hours, i remembered looking at the clock when i felt something 'pop' and it was 5:47am. From there, it was a fast delivery and all of a sudden, we were holding our baby in our arms. i loved the baby from the moment he was born and heard him cry. the second time around, i definitely felt more confident and prepared to welcome a new one. with preston, it took a little while to get used to the idea that we now had a baby and that we would love him so much.
Parker arrived 4 days early, so we actually didn't quite settle on a name by the time he was born! it took the whole time we were at the hospital to finally select Parker Jameson Wang. everyone seems to love the name Parker, and it was the only name that jack and i could agree on at the end of the day. it's amazing how picky we were, but i guess when you have the right name, it just seems right, all the others didn't seem right for one reason or another. sometimes it was even hard to explain why we didn't like those names.
Preston and jack's mom waited in the waiting room for about 3 hours before we were settled in our private room and were able to accept visitors. i was so excited for preston to meet his little brother, and he was definitely ready. he was so loving and gentle from day one and has continued to be so. it's a relief he understands the concept of a baby and doesn't expect much from his baby brother just yet. they look lovely together.
