Ethan Jude

This blog has been silent for quite some time. Obviously, such is not surprising to hear. Since when did this writer become consistent in blogging? Your guess is as good as mine. :-)

The last post was marked with so much joy and excitement, anticipating the little angel eventually named Ethan Jude. Despite the hectic and stressful job of his Mom, it was a delight to know from the OB-Gyne that the baby's strong throughout the pregnancy - even if there were instances that Mommy was put to bedrest. And so Ethan was chosen for his primary name... it's of Hebrew origin which means "strong, firm, constant." His secondary name, Jude, was derived not just from Mommy's name but also in honor of St. Jude. Mommy's name, by the way, means "praised, gifted."

Here is proud Mommy's favorite photo (thus far) of their little angel. She took this using her camera phone right after breastfeeding him at the nursery. Baby Ethan was just one-day old then...

Ethan Jude Aca Saclamitao was born via normal delivery on 20 February 2009, 3:08 p.m. at Cardinal Santos Medical Center, Greenhills, San Juan City. He weighed exactly 6 lbs and was 50 cms long.

Since then, the sleepless nights have already begun. :-)
