Introducing Miwa
November the 12th, at exactly 09:09, our second child Miwa (美和 - beautiful Japanese style) was born in the hospital. The actual birth took just 30 minutes. Once again I was witness of the enormous strength released during labour. Miwa's weight after birth was 3360 grams and her length 48 centimeters.
Different was that my wife had to leave hospital just a few hours after delivery. In Japan she could stay for 5 days in the women's clinic. Lucky she didn't lose as much blood as with the birth of Towa.
Both are doing perfectly fine!
Lisette AAAAwww soooo cute!
Congrats again! :D Can't wait to meet my little cousin.
Stephen & Atsuko Congratulations!!! I think the name you've given Miwa is really nice. Did Miwa stay in the hospital or come home with Mum? In Australia Mum and baby normally stay in the hospital for 2 nights. The hospital near us also has a couple of suite rooms with a double bed so if you get the suite room Dad can stay too.
Look forward to seeing more photos.
Jeffrey Gelens Thanks all of you! Miwa came home together with Mum.
In Holland they only stay longer in the hospital if there are complications or if the birth itself takes longer than expected of course. I also read somewhere that dad can sleep in the hospital if needed, not sure if that's in the same room, but certainly not a double bed.
I'll send more photos soon!
Ronald Remeijer Jeffrey, congratulations to the four of you!
I like 'her' name :-)
Monique/grandma I'm so proud! :D

Jeffrey Gelens Also thanks the last few commenters! ;-)
