Wednesday, the 27th of February, two thousand and eight was a great day. At 4:45 am, we headed out to Summerville Medical Hospital.
At 7:39 pm, I met my son, Jacob Alexander Bunao for the first time at Summerville Medical Hospital. After 14 grueling hours of labor, Jacob’s 6 lbs. 12 oz, 20 inches, slender body came out so safely.
On behalf of my beautiful and courageous wife Courtney, I would like to personally and publicly thank Doctor Sutton of Women’s Health Partners for successfully and safely bringing Jacob out to this beautiful world. I would like to thank Dr. Sutton’s Partners, as well, Dr. Campbell and Dr. Cook for working with us throughout the whole pregnancy. This world is a better and healthier place because what you all do.
Thank you Dr. Bollin, Courtney’s Anesthesiologist, for doing an outstanding job and for making this experience comfortable for Courtney.
I would like to thank the crew at the hospital for being amazing and helping us get through this joyous moment and enjoy this miracle. Much thanks to all of the nurses at the Labor and Delivery department for helping my wife get comfortable and for attending to all of her needs. Our “main” nurse was Tracy Moore and if you’re reading this Tracy, I want you to know that you are an amazing, kind, sweet, thoughtful nurse. The whole experience could not have been as amazing and comfortable without you. From the bottom of our hearts- thank you 🙂 We appreciate everything you’ve done.
I don’t remember the names of the other nurses who had made the whole process so amazing, sorry :(, but I remember and will continue to remember your beautiful faces. When I see you on the streets, the mall or the store, I will sure to thank you again personally.
Thank you also to the nurses in the Nursery Unit for taking care of Jacob during his brief stay at the hospital.
And to my beautiful, lovely and courageous wife, Courtney- thank you for giving birth to a beautiful boy. I could not have done this… at all… in any lifetime. Thank you for being so strong and brave and beautiful. You move, inspire and amaze me everyday. I love you. Always.
To be a witness to the miracle of pregnancy and childbirth, I have a new found respect (much more than ever) to all mothers who go and went through this experience.
I must say that anyone who thinks women are the “weakest” gender never seen childbirth!
And now, check out some pictures from this amazing miracle and meet Jacob…
I never thought I could love someone so much until I met my son…
Much blessings,Virgil I. Bunao

Beautiful display of tenderness!! You are already so sensitive now in capturing others special events, I know that, now with your own child, you’ll be an even more endearing photographer. Although, I don’t know how you could get any better!!
