Welcome to Callen Katherine Hwang

Let's raise a glass and give a HUGE round of applause to the latest edition to the family.

We just wanted to say a heart-felt thank you for everyone's support and well wishes. After over 36 hours in the hospital and about 13-14 hours of labor (including an epidural), we are proud to welcome Callen Katherine Hwang to the family.

The little grommet was born on June 15, 2009 at 10:37pm. She weighs in at a solid 8lbs 5.2oz and is 21.5 inches long.

Mom and little ripper are doing well, resting up before we head home to introduce her to the pups: Casco and Lambert.

Baby Hwang Monday Afternoon Update

Just wanted to provide everyone with a quick update. We went to the hospital at 7:30 last night after a yummy dinner of Thai with Megan's mother. Things went pretty smoothly at the hospital until about 11pm when things got busy/rough contractions wise. Megan decided to put in an epidural around 7:30am so she could finally sleep. The induction has been a slow and gradual process based on her great contractions and mellow pregnancy to date. Our midwives and the nurses have been great. To relax, we were watching Superbad this afternoon so if the baby comes out spewing "McLovin", we'll know why. I'll try to write another update in a few, but until then I'll leave you with this amazing photo from the bathroom. Be careful ladies: pregancy, electricity and water do not mix.

Baby Hwang Sunday Update

A quick update from Megan. I'll be sending an update from the hospital:

First of all, Thanks to all of you who have been keeping us in your thoughts.  At this momentous time in our lives, it is wonderful to have the support of such amazing family and friends. 

As many of you know, my due date has now come and gone.  I am 8 days post-due at this point and while I still feel pretty good physically, this waiting period has been mentally tough and I am VERY ready to have the baby.  We are both super excited to meet our lil one whom we have been caring for for the last 9 (and a half!) months

As much as I wanted to avoid an induction, the general recommendation of my OB-GYN practice is to schedule an induction after 41 weeks.  Sooooo..... Frank and I are actually heading to the hospital this evening to start the induction process, the meat of which will take likely place tomorrow morning.  If all goes well, we'll have news of the arrival of our 1st child by tomorrow evening.  We look forward to sharing the big news with all of you.   

Thanks again for keeping us in your thoughts. 

Love,
  Megan and Frank

The latest edition to the family!

Still no baby yet, but just picked up this new (to me) Spooky Darkside
frame in Cambridge. Thanks to da boyz for a great frame! Can't wait to
ride it.

Last Stop #3: Nantasket Longboard Classic

Kooks on parade! My cycle computer crapped out on the ride, but felt
strong most of the way.

Stop#2: Coffee Corner in Sciuate

One of my favorite South Shore spots. Right in town. Re-fueling Hoon-
style.

Stop #1: Humarock

About 45 minutes in, quick stop to check the waves at Humarock. A few
little peelers. Lots of riders out. Going to check to see if I can
find the car that crashed into the ocean on Ferry St.
