DYLAN GLENN IS HERE!!

The big day arrived and our son Dylan Glenn was born on November 20th at 11:30am!! He weighed 8lbs 9.2 oz and 21.5 inches. His Daddy was 21 inches when he was born so Dylan will be even taller!?!! He and Mommy are doing so very well and everyone is back home now resting. Thank you Lord for our beautiful baby boy!! Here are some "before and after" photos - enjoy!!

Here we are about 10 minutes from being taken back to the C-Section room for the delivery.

I took this picture while waiting outside the delivery room. They were giving Debbie anesthesia and allowed me in the room once everything was settled.

And here is Dylan about 30 seconds after being delivered!! He arrived at exactly 11:30am. Since he was delivered by C-section, he had more fluid in his lungs that needed to come out so the nurses are working on him here.


Here is our angel resting just shortly after applying the antibiotic cream to his eyes.


Proud, proud, proud Daddy holding Dylan in the nursery.


Mommy and Dylan back in the room after the delivery!! Tired but oh so happy!!


Our precious Dylan sleeping soundly after the big day! Looks like his Kuya!!


Daniel is now a Kuya and as expected, was a little jealous. He will come around and we are sure they will be the best of friends.

Daniel giving his little brother a nice kiss!!

Daddy and his boys!!


Here is Evelyn, our Filipino nurse - we met her when we had Daniel and were lucky enough that she was working while we were there with Dylan!!

Our little angel, sleeping peacefully!


Daniel was intrigued with the remote for the TV....see the red button at the bottom of the remote? He pushed that about 15 times - it's the call button for the nurses!!


Mommy and her boys!!

Mommy rocking Dylan right before we left for home.

Our good friend Annie paid Dylan a visit!! She is Daniel's Ninang. A special thank you to Annie for getting up at 5:00am to cook and deliver to the hospital Debbie's favorite soup. Thank you so much!!
Daniel, relaxing and taking it easy before taking Dylan home.


Another good friend, Trina (Dylan's soon to be Ninang), visiting Dylan - a special thank you to Trina for keeping Daniel for us during the first couple of days. She also spent the night at the hospital with Debbie so I could be home with Daniel. Thank you so much!!

Our sweet Dylan sleeping peacefully in his crib for the first time!


Dylan is all bundled up ready to go to his first doctor's appointment.


Here he is at the doctor for his first checkup!! Perfect bill of health!!!


Wide awake at his doctor's appointment - beautiful eyes just like his Mommy!!


Uncharacteristically sober picture of Daniel - still thinking about being a Kuya for the first time. He has such a loving heart and we know he will love his little brother so much. It's an adjustment for him too!!

Dylan receiving his first visitors at home. Barry, Vilma and Jhona came to visit him and we appreciate them so much!!

LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN

The countdown is on and Daniel's baby brother will be here soon! He is getting the most out of every day as very soon his little brother will be here taking up a lot of Mommy and Daddy's time! Here are a few pictures before the big day gets here.......

Debbie looks so gorgeous whether she is pregnant or not. Here she is at 9 months and ever so close to the big day. Your prayers are appreciated for a safe and perfect delivery!

Daniel and Daddy enjoying one of the few quiet moments he will let us have. He's all boy and very soon will be a Kuya...........we know he will set a good example for his little brother.....right?


Our handsome anak and soon to be Kuya......Daniel is such a happy boy and we are thrilled he will be a big brother very soon.

We are coveting your prayers at this time as the big day draws near........we will certainly post pictures of our Dylan Glenn once he is born and he and Mommy are resting.

IT WAS SOOOOOOO WORTH THE MONEY!!


We broke down and spend $55+ dollars to watch the Pacman defeat Cotto on HBO On Demand!!! It was thrilling to say the least and Debbie almost went into labor during the first few rounds. I remember us looking at each other and commenting on how tough Cotto was and that maybe Pacquiao was in for a difficult fight. But after the "first" knockdown, our blood pressure started to rise and we watched with unbelieveable excitement as he totally dominated Cotto and finally finished him off. We actually began to feel sorry for Cotto hoping they would stop the fight sooner but...........that took care of itself. Can't remember who the undercards were.........

OH' THE CHANGES WE'VE BEEN THROUGH

This video takes about 4 minutes but it will blow your mind in terms of what we have been through and all the improvements and innovations through the years. It's actually very inspiring - enjoy!!
