July 17th, 2006Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy
Matthew Shin-Chieh was born on July 14th, 2006, after being induced on July 13th. He weighed in at 8lbs 6oz, 20 inches long (noggin - 15 1/2 inches !!!), has my eyes, nose, and ears. I have never fallen in love quite so hard and quite so completely. I look at him and tears well. So gorgeous.
Things are going well. He came into the world teaching me how to help him nurse. I am in the midst of typing up his birth story, and getting to know my son. My son. Wow.

I’ve said it before, but my god, that is probably the most beautiful, wise-looking newborns I have ever seen. Congratulations!

I’m on vacation in Paris and have been checking 3WA obsessively for updates - and my email for a notify update! What an utterly perfect person you two have created!

Tears well up just looking at his photo…I can and can’t imagine how you feel. Can, because I remember falling in love with my own boy, and can’t, because your experience is as unique as your son.
Congratulations on your beautiful baby. I’m so happy for you and Josh.
