This picture was taken June 17, 2009 a minute after she came out from her mothers womb, she weighs 1.4 kilo or about 3 pounds, her height was 27 cm. And according to my wife's ob gynecologist and to the pediatrician who received her she was only 32 weeks. She was needed to be delivered this early because my wife have what they called uterine rupture. She was delivered by my wifes OB, Dra. Luisa Cruz through cesarean section at San Roque Hospital in Malolos City Philippines, and was received by her pediatrician Dr. Raul Fernandez. And because she was a premature she was placed in an incubator and she has an oxygen support and with dextrose for her feed support. I can't explain what I feel from the moment I saw her in that situation, it's just like everything have stop from a while, I can't think anything, but her.
The name that we have given to her was Akisha Denise. During my wife's pregnancy we already think of some names that we can give to our baby, my wife was the who think for the girls name and I am the who thin for a boy's name.
Finally after 10 days, the first family picture. This was one of the happiest time of my life, finally I 
have touched my baby girl. She's very cute and she looks like me. She got my nose, my eyes, my lips and the shape of my face. Fortunately she didn't got my skin color, cause i am "moreno" in color or brown, she got her skin color from my wife. I hope we can take her home soon, her pediatrician said she can't come home yet, she needs to drink more milk, as of this day she can now tolerate 20ml of milk. And her pediatrician says that she can come home if she can tolerate at least 30ml of milk every 2 hours.
