Day 19: Who will be in the delivery room with you?
I really hope that the hospital would allow Eli to be there. But our OB said that it isn’t allowed. They did allow the husband of one patient though because they attended birthing classes and had certificates of completion.

Day 12: How did you tell your parents the news? The baby’s dad’s parents?
My Parents
Eli was actually the one who told my mom the news when she got back from Boracay 2 or 3 days after we found out. I just told her that we have GOOD NEWS then we sat around the dining table after dinner then Eli started his heartwarming speech. He was shaking the whole time and looked...
