Nicole and Michael's baby boy
Nicole and Michael's baby boy, weighted 3519 gram, was born at 4PM on February 12th. It was not an easy delivery for Nicole  because the baby has a larger-than-average head. After more than 24 hours and two attempts, Nicole finally pushed the baby out of her and instantly felt relieved.

According to the new parents, they faced a decision point after the first attempt about whether to go with C-section or not. Nicole is determined to have a natural delivery since the very beginning of her pregnancy; hence she went with the second attempt.

The photo was taken on the first day the little baby was released from an infant intensive-care unit at Far Eastern Memorial Hospital. He just finished his second breastfeeding session with his mom at Yono Maternal Center.

Having a rather rocky beginning of his life does not seem to affect the baby's mood, because as captured by the photo, he could not help smiling while taking his naps.
