The Baptism of Benedict Joseph Michael

DSC00851One week after he was born, Benedict was baptized (February 26, 2011) by his Priest-Uncle, Fr. Miguel. The ceremony as always was very beautiful and he used the extraordinary form of baptismal rite.

We kept the baptism very small this time due to circumstances.

Thank you to those who came to the baptism especially to our parents and friends.

Thank you to David Biddle for being the photographer. The pictures that you see here were taken by him.

Lastly, thank you to Fr. Miguel for baptizing his nephew.

New Edition: Benedict Joseph Michael

After a very long pregnancy, our baby boy finally came into this world on Friday, February 18, 2011 at 12:15 PM, 8.3 lbs, 20.25 inches long and we named him Benedict Joseph Michael (We figured since this is our first baby boy, we better cover all bases with the necessary Saints). Both Benedict and Coby are fine. Coby once again was amazing and delivered the baby natural with no medications what so ever.

Just a quick timeline of the delivery on Friday:

7:00 AM – Contractions started

10:00 AM – Left to the hospital

10:20 AM – Arrived at the hospital and shortly after the nurse checked her and she was at 6 cm dilated.

12:08 PM – Water broke

12:15 PM – Benedict was born.

Thanks to everyone for all your prayers during the pregnancy and during labor.

Thank you Lord for the healthy baby and safe delivery!
