New babies
» motherhood
The Chinese seventh month is finally over. I am really terrified of ghost (I believe I saw those eerie beings before, scary!), and therefore hungry ghost festival always makes my imagination runs wild. Anyway, this entry is not about those supernatural things. This seventh month is a joyous month. James and I have a baby cousin now (so zeeyau is having an uncle younger then her!), Jenny my ex-colleague finally gave birth to her baby boy, and Alfred my secondary school classmate has fathered a baby girl. This is the stage of life when we suddenly received numerous wedding invitations and baby arrival announcements. There are always some kind of party or celebration to look forward to. And i enjoys shopping for presents!
Anyway, just visited Jenny and her son. It is almost the 14 days, and she still has not decided on his name yet. Well, names are especially important, I guess she wants the best one, and I know she will not compromise on something that does not appeal to her. The baby seems so small with those tiny limbs. Weighing 3.3kg, he is not considered a small baby. I guess all newborns look like that, like a little frail old man. Yauyau must have looked even thinner and scrawnier as her birthwieght was relatively low. Newborns, so fragile, yet so sweet! Almost made me wanting to have a second baby!
