The Looks

Dear Mini-N,

As the time approaches for you to join us in this household, many friends and relatives of mommy and daddy are getting more and more curious about how you'll look. Whether you'll have that famous western nose of your daddy or you'll have that famous oriental eyes of your mommy, that still remains to be a mystery. Then it also adds to the complications as you can see below.

Your daddy as a kid looked very much like a girl.

Your mommy as a kid looked very much like a dude.

Whatever it is, Mini-N, at the end of the day, we just want you to be healthy, and maybe also, to be a good baby who doesn't create havoc at home in your first few months. Have mercy, baby. We'll be seeing you soon, real soon.

Your New Home

Dear Mini-N,

Last weekend, Dr. Tang told us she'd like to arrange for you to join us end of this month due to the fast growing size of your head. Now we really didn't expect to see you so early, we thought you'll be coming in mid November.. Now it looks like it's only going to be about 2 - 3 weeks before you come.


So mommy and daddy, overwhelmed and excited with the news, went home, stared at each other in awe for a while and suddenly got up to build your new home! Oh boy! Lots of things to do. Stuffs we bought for you are still in plastic bags with labels intact. New baby furnitures we bought are still in parts and pieces in paper boxes. The first thing we did was to build your crib. Look, Mini-N, do you like your new bed?

Then we went on with building the cabinet that will contain all your cute little shirts, blankets, toiletries, sheets..etc..etc.. Mommy was cutting off labels and packaging until she filled an entire dustbin.

By the way, cousin Halle came about last week on the 4th of October. Cute little thing she is with her serene smile and small frame at 2.8kg. When you come along end of the month, I'll put the two of you side by side and you'll grow up to be best friends for sure.

Take care my little Mini-N. Try to wake up during the day and sleep during the night like the rest of us. It's hard to sleep having someone kick me in the stomach all night long.
