The Debut of Teo Gilbert Juarez





Hi Everyone,
Gil here, subbing temporarily for Candice.
Teo has made his big debut into the world! He arrived yesterday (Friday, April 3) at 1:52pm, weighed in at 7lbs. 14oz., and at 21.25-inches in length. Many thanks to all of you for your calls and texts, sending well wishes and congrats.
Being completely (and impossibly) unbiased, he really looks fantastic - great skin tone, a healthy pink glow, and as beautiful as can be.
Mom is recovering nicely at the hospital. Due to umbilical cord complications and also that Teo was sunny side up (instead of the normal and preferred face-down), he had to be delivered via C-section. It was a long day, especially for Candice, starting and 4:15am, but she was the greatest trooper of them all. Despite the pain and endless rigors of the day, her usual sunny disposition shone through at all times, and never once did she complain. Our greatest concern was to bring Teo into the world in the safest way possible, for both him and mom. After witnessing yesterday's events, and not to mention the last nine months of what Candice went through, as I have told friends and family, if it were men that had to bring babies into this world, there'd be 6-million people on earth instead of 6-billion.
While I wanted to post every picture taken so far, I posted here what I thought were maybe the best views of our new little boy, and with his mom and dad.
Lots more to come, so please check back soon.
Gil (G-Daddy).

Congrats! The little dude definitely has his mom's nose on his dad's face. When can we see him swing dance?
