Macho Style

New (batok) hair style

Axel now got a new hairstyle, because according to his mom his hair was messy. Therefore we decided to cut his hair but not all...Since I don't have any experience or lesson whatsoever in cutting hair, we just cut his lower part of his head. And it turned out to be a bowl shape hair style..hahaha...it took us almost one hour to cut his hair. Anyway, he looks much cuter and cubby-er with that hair style....^^

Acel and mama are here!!!

My wife and my son was finally here on Saturday morning. I was so excited when I meet them. My wife, my boy and my sister in law, osin, was also here. This is the first time I see my boy-Acel, after 3 months away from him. And yes, he is growing so much, and he was really an awesome boy. He just can't stop to smile...and I can't get enough of him. During the flight my wife said he was so quite and didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Also during the ride home by bus, he was being so nice and quite. I'm really excited that they are here, and can't wait to spend more time with them together...

Chubby (3 months old)

Acel today is exactly 3 months old. And he has grown up very fast. I just got these pictures from my sister in law. And I was so surprise to see how fast my son grow. Now he's very chubby and cute. I just can't wait to meet and kiss and play with my boy.
My wife said now he can already communicate with voices and sound, and he can already play by himself and he can lift up his head...Hopefully they will be here sometime early next month. I surely can't wait to see my boy Acel and my wife Artha...I miss you both so very much...

Bald is the style

My boy Axel, or we called him Acel, has grown so much for the past 2 months. He is now more than 5Kg, and he looks bigger than the last time I saw him. This pictures was just sent yesterday by my brother Rico. When I saw the pictures I was so excited and I miss him so much. I also heard his voice through phone when my wife called, and he was so cute. My wife said that now Acel can communicate through sound and movement, and he can react when we play around with him. His hair was also growing so much that my dad make him bald so he can be more comfortable.
I just can't wait for my wife and my boy to come here. I miss you both so very much..

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..
