Corey Andrew Castillo is Here!

On Wednesday, December 29th at 8:40AM Lisa gave birth to our second son Corey Andrew Castillo at North Shore Hospital, LI. He weighed in at 7lbs 7ounces and 20 inches. Lisa was in labor for 15 minutes - I spend more time on the bowl - can I get a witness! =)

It was painful (no meds) but quick and all the women who spent much more time in labor called to leave hate messages!

Thank you all for the visits, calls, flowers and gifts...Nani thanks for buying Aaron's gifts to give Corey...Tanya thanks for getting to the hospital first so I could be with Lisa...Junior & Lulu thanks for getting Lisa pancakes, Aaron McDonalds and Dad Pf Changs...

I wanted the baby to be born after Christmas but before New Years (tax credit) Heyyyyy! I also wanted to be home in time for Saturday's Giants & Raiders game...and the Lord granted me both requests! God sweats the small stuff too! As you can see my priorities are in the right place (taxes and football)...just kidding...we are thrilled with our new addition and wanted to share some of these priceless moments with you. Please feel free to add comments as I will print and save as a keep sake for Corey!

Play by Play:


Corey is born!
Mommy holds baby after very long, brutal and extensive labor! =)

Daddy holding Corey Andrew minutes after his arrival.
Dr. Steven Seidman, Dr. Julia Aronovich, Corey Andrew and Lisa.
Dad, Lulu, Junior, Tanya, Big Brother Aaron with Mommy and Corey on the way to recovery! These guys obviously broke the law since they made it to the hospital so fast...all my family would soon follow...but by then the baby was born!
Mom, Big Brother Aaron and Corey Andrew a few hours later.
It's dinner time...feed me! If's he like his Dad...you don't play with my food!
After a long day and "dinner" - Corey call it quits...and me too for now...bye!

Lisa Girl,

I can't believe how beautiful u look after giving birth. Is it the camera? :) Now Aaron has a little brudda! Yay! Just in time. All the trouble we go through for our children the least they could do is provide us with some tax benefits. :)

With love,
Michelle Hernandez

I just met Corey today (8/5/06) for the first time...what a doll! FYI-he was born on my birthday! Yay, we share a special day. when he's a bit older we'll have to celebrate together! love you guys;)

And, it should get easier, Jadi (child #3) was born in about 45 minutes with no drugs...Desi (child #1) was born after 3 hours labor plus an epideral, while I was under the influence of demarol(not recommended)!
