Singer James and Teacher Ploykoy Open Up About Life as Parents of Two, Sharing Duties Caring for 'Mee Metta,' Revealing First Words and Naming Plans—a Joyful Family Moment

The family of young singer James Ruangsakdi Loychusak and his wife Teacher Ploykoy Natcha is overflowing with joy following the healthy arrival of their second daughter, 'Mee Metta.' On May 11, 2025, the couple opened up about their journey to parenthood at Vichaiyuth Hospital, accompanied by Dr. Kamlabhat Wichakphan, an obstetrician specializing in maternal and fetal medicine.

James expressed his gratitude: "I'd like to thank Vichaiyuth Hospital for taking excellent care of our family. Thank you to all the doctors, nurses, and staff who made us feel warm, safe, and happy."

Regarding their newborn's health, Ploykoy shared: "The baby is perfectly healthy with good weight, and my health is excellent too. At 42 years old, carrying a second child has been smooth and healthy."

James added: "The baby is very strong. She cried loudly right from opening her eyes, crying all the way through cleaning and weighing. The doctor said this is a good sign, indicating her lungs and other systems are working normally."

When asked about Ploykoy's first impression seeing the baby, she became emotional: "I told myself not to get dramatic or sentimental since this is our second child, but I couldn't help it. When they showed her to me, she looked almost 90% like what we saw on the ultrasound—the nose, eyes, eyebrows, and skin all matched."

Ploykov revealed they had her cervix stitched starting around three months into pregnancy to prevent premature delivery. She maintained careful self-care regarding diet, emotions, rest, and used a wheelchair during the later stages of pregnancy.

Dr. Wichakphan noted: "Ploykoy's case wasn't particularly difficult because she took excellent care of herself. My main concerns were her age—42 years old—which increases risks for gestational diabetes and chromosomal issues, but all tests passed, even the diabetes screening. Her cervix was short due to previous surgeries, so we monitored her regularly and provided medication. Everything went smoothly."

James expressed his emotions: "I was very excited. This time, I got to be in the operating room from the moment the doctor made the incision and witnessed the actual birth. Hearing the first cry was touching. When I saw the baby was complete, with good skin and weight and loud crying, it felt like a mountain lifted from my chest. Now I just need to figure out how to pay tuition!"

Regarding who the baby resembles, James noted several people say she looks like him, while Ploykoy noticed the baby has her eyebrows and is developing double eyelids like hers.
