Hello, Lisa here -- this is my second post ever to the blog, the first being Zoë's first Father's Day. Chris originally started this blog when Zoë was born and has since given updates from his perspective. Since things are certainly a little more chaotic with our new addition and Chris's work schedule, we have waited to post some photos of the event.
Prior to Ezra being born, my mom and dad were visiting to help us set up our new home and help with Zoë. They did an extensive amount of work on assembling bookcases, standing in line at the DMV while I was post-baby, hanging pictures on our once-bare walls, and cooking wonderful meals. Zoë has really missed her school friends in Chicago. Having the grandparents, Uncle David who lives in the area, and a weekend visit from Aunt Becky has helped immensely. Luckily, Zoë will be starting preschool twice a week next week to introduce her to new friends and fun projects.
I finished working at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago in mid-August, took my medical boards for PM&R, then started my maternity leave early. This time, unlike with Zoë's early arrival, we were prepared.
Ezra Hong-wei Hsu was born a day before his due date, on September 22 at 2:17AM. After being in early labor all day and being detoured from the hospital until the contractions were closer together, we headed to Sequoia Hospital in Redwood City, CA to meet our son early in the morning. There are always surprises for me when it comes to labor and delivery; in the end we welcomed a healthy baby boy. Enjoy the photos! I'm enjoying my new cuddler and seeing Zoë turn into a great big sister. :)
