T3 (AKA Tanya Saipetch) Has Arrived

Tanya is the biggest of all the T's, weighing in at 3,740 grams (8.2 lbs) and 52 cm (20.5") long. (Titus was 3,200 grams and Tatia was 3,000 grams.) She was born at 11:47 a.m.

She also has a lot of hair, an unusual occurrence in the history of the T's.

Aor and I came to Bangpo Hospital around 9 a.m. because today is the 39-week day for Tanya. Since Aor had caesarean sections for Titus and Tatia before, she would need to have another one for Tanya. I was a bit excited last night because this was the first time that we knew the date that the baby would come out--the other two times happened surprisingly, before the 39-week mark. Anyway, once we got to the operating room, it was quite familiar and calm. I recorded the procedure using a camcorder, being careful to record internal organs that Aor requested to see.

The operation started at 11 a.m. It took about 30 minutes to bring Tanya out and another 90 minutes to patch Aor up. Aor felt better than the last two times and she is now sleeping.

When asked about his feeling about another sister, Titus said, "I will delight her with hot chocolate."

When asked the same, Tatia said, "I'm a princess, whee, whee." (Thanks, Kevin & Rechelle!)

T3 Is Near Completion

We have the latest 4-D ultrasound of the T3 project today. This is her 23rd week and she should come out around October 26 or so. You can see an exciting movie of her sleeping here.

As usual, we went to Bangpo General Hospital in the morning to meet Dr. Vichit who brought Titus and Tatia to this planet. We are quite certain he will do the same for T3.

Titus was born before we had access to the 4-D ultrasound so he doesn't have his pre-natal movies. Tatia's movies can be found in my previous posts here and here.

You know, T3 looks very much like Tatia, so maybe the ultrasound machine always draws the same face every time :-D
