Triple HOT, on the Spot!

Happy Birthday, Mom!

On your 74th birthday, I give you a grandson.

Horace O’Donal Turner, III, was brought into this World at 11:50 PM, January 7, 2008, (that’s at 7:50 AM PST, Mom) in a complicated delivery, via a necessary cesarean section procedure, but both baby and mother are healthy and well.

At 8.1 pounds, he’s a big one, by Filipino standards.

Marissa went into labor around 9 AM and we took her to Madonna & Child Hospital at around Noon. Marissa labored on for a total of around 14 hours until at 11 PM, when it was decided the baby was just not coming out. It turns out the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck twice, probably from all the dancing around he did the last couple of months before he was born. He sure was a lively one as a bun-in-the-oven.

The baby is named after my late father and older brother, Horace O’Donal Turner, Senior and Junior, respectively. We will probably call the baby “Race”, but since his initials are H.O.T. III, that’s triple hot, so maybe we’ll call him “Grabe Kainit”, or “Init Kaayo” (very hot), or just “Init”, which means “hot” in Visayan, but probably not.

See the H.O.T.3 incubator video here.
