Welcome Jesse Tyler Cheng

Of all the things that I have done in my life, I have to say that one of the most emotional and exhilarating experiences is to be present at the birth of your own child. There is just so much spinning inside of your head. What does the future hold? What will he look like? Will everything be OK? And then you look at your wife in a whole different light as well. Then BOOM! Out comes the baby, and the adventure begins. It is hard to hold back tears.

Now having had a child in two different countries (US and Brazil), there is one big difference. They love the camera inside the delivery room in Brazil. I had to sneak the camera into the delivery room in the United States. I think they are worried about law suits or something. But in Brazil, the pediatrician took the camera and started taking pictures. Then then OBGYN started taking pictures. So unlike the US, we were able to get some great pictures of an amazing moment in our lives.

Jesse was born about 2 weeks early and comes in at 2.82 kg or a little more than 6 pounds. Enjoy the slide show.
