i was born on august 21, 2009 at 3:40pm. i weighed 9 pounds 4 ounces and measured 21 inches. my mama had a hunch i’d be big, but not that big! • i was named after the great men in my family: henry is the name of my great-great-grandfather, henry wexner sr., my grand-uncle, henry wexner jr., and my uncle henry. thomas is the name of my lolo, tomas castro, and my uncle tom-tom. • i live in a crooked old house in los angeles with my mama & papa, who love me like mad.

well, i made it! i was born today, and boy oh boy was my journey quite an adventure. mama was all set to deliver me naturally, but i caused such a stir in her belly that she had to get a c-section to set me free. thank goodness dr. pearson and the nice people at providence st. joseph took care of us and everything turned out a-ok.

papa cut my umbilical cord and i got to say a quick hello to my mama, then they whisked me off to the NICU, where—between you and me—i didn't belong for a second. papa got to spend some time with me, and mama got to visit me before she was moved to her room.

i arrived four days late (in true castro & hughes fashion), but everyone says i'm worth the wait.
