Axel Andreas Aurello Pangaribuan
Jakarta, 17 March 2008, 0935pm (WIB, Indonesian time) a healthy and beautiful baby boy was born normal at Kartika Hospital-Pulomas, Jakarta-Indonesia. It was a very excited moment for me to wait for my baby to come, but on that same day it was also a terrifying moment for my wife. Since I can only be in Jakarta for 2 weeks, my wife has to go through a process called induction birth. It is basically a process by giving some sort of drugs/hormone to the mom through liquid infusion to stimulate and speed up the delivery process. Some people said that this process is more painful, but some people said its the same. My wife was so nervous and her blood pressure was rising.
Before the delivery process
We arrive at the the hospital at 1pm, and the induction process start at around 230pm. Artha has to consume one full bottle of infusion before she can feel any contraction. At around 3pm she starting to feel the contraction, first it was only a short contraction for a long interval. By time the contraction interval was reduced but the period was increased. I can feel her paint was really terrible from her expression. She almost gave up for a couple of times asking permission to have Cesar surgery instead. But me, my mom, and my mother in law encourage her to stay strong through the process.
At around 7pm, we were moved from preparation room to the delivery room. Me, my mom, and my mother in law stay there throughout the process to give my wife encouragement. After the final 10cm opening the doctor was ready to deliver the baby. My wifes tried to push for several times but the baby still can't be pushed. My mom, as a mid-wifes knew the whole process and start to cry when the doctor threatened to use vacuum suction. I don't know what's going on but I know that it was not a good sign. I can feel that my wife was also scared, and at that time we all prayed. And my wife tried the last 3 push, and finally the baby was pushed through. The umbilical cord was actually strapped on our baby's shoulder preventing him to come out. We were full of tears after that, and was so happy to see my baby. Even my wife looks so happy and she said it was all worthed.

The nurse took him to the nursery room to clean him and i was there to see him being cleansed. He was so cute and adorable...He has her mother's nose and thick hair, and he has my eyes...and he also has a cute dimple..Me and my wife adore and love him very much..we named him Axel, my dad and mom wants to name him Andreas, and my in laws want to name him Aurello. Therefore we decided to joint all together to be: Axel Andreas Aurello Pangaribuan. It is a long name, but it also shows how much love we have for him.
It was very hard to leave both of them and be apart with them, however I hope that they can join me in Korea after a the documents are ready for my son. Can't wait to be united again in one place as a new family..

wow parlin, congrats... Axel is such a beautiful baby!! Glad to know mom and baby doing well. You remind me of my own experience as my son has to be suctioned as well (he is a "big headed man"), but he came out normal and healthy, in fact, that device saved his little life! (Say hurray for "ventouse"!!!).
And you know what, Kartika Pulomas is just in front of my house in Jakarta (literary, I can see the ambulance from inbetween my fence). Hope to see more picture of your precious, God bless you all :-)
Thanks ya owen...nt kl ada kesempatan ke Singapore pasti gw bawa ke gereja deh...kangen jg sama kegaringan anak2 gereja...heheheh...
Hai Jess...thanks for the wishes...it was such a wonderful experience to have the first baby born and Thank God that everything goes well. My wife and my baby have to stay in Jakarta to get their documents ready and also I think my son is not old enough to have a long flight. How about your son, how old was he when he first fly?
Anyway I hope next summer they can join me here in Korea..
