I'm innocent.. I promise

Mommy has been rather busy lately with me. She doesn't have time to help me write the blog. She blames it on me being nocturnal. My aunt (the one is Malaysia : Mommy's older sister) thinks I'm running on Malaysian time. She suggested I come there. I would work well with the time difference. Mommy says no so I'm stuck in Overland Park for a bit till I grow up.

I have a very very busy schedule. All I do each day is eat and sleep. It's very tiring. I have to stretch and yawn. Mommy says I've got a lot of growing to do. How do I grow?????? Any clue?

Mommy and Daddy call me squirmy cuddle bug. Don't know what that means but they call me that all the time. Mommy also complains I need attention all the time. Ok, let me explain the situation and you can decide on your own. I like being held. I like the attention and warmth of anyone thus I cry and cry and cry and cry (you get it right??) till some carries me.

I also started noticing the things around me. It's a huge world. Too many things to look at. So many colors. I love music. I fall asleep to any music. It's so nice. Mommy and Daddy have realized this trick and using it on me these days to make me sleep.

Innocent looks works everytime with anyone. Everyone seems to be falling for the trick. I need to learn more tricks. Any ideas??

I'm innocent I promise :)

Late nights......

Another late night video taken by Daddy. It's entertaining keeping Mommy and Daddy awake all night.

Visiting hours : 10pm to 7am only

That's me wide awake in the middle of the night

Mommy has decided that I'm nocturnal. It sounds a terrible thing. Mommy and Daddy are convinced I'm doing this on purpose. Daddy calls me a clean slate. I don't know what all the above means. Mommy says it's nothing important. What is important?

All I know is to eat, sleep, eat, sleep and more eat and more sleep. Life is so so good. Sometimes I stay awake enough to keep the people around me entertained. It's a tough life. I hope it doesn't get any better then this.

Oh yeah! I don't like the bright lights or the sun. It's just way way to bright.

I'm like a week old now

That's me.... That's me leaving the hospital with my hip-hop rock star outfit (6 May 2007)

Sorry everyone. I've been wanting to update the last few days. It's just been a long long long week for everyone especially for me. Don't know if everyone has heard the news yet. I decided to meet the rest of the world on 2 May 2007. It's my birthday. Ok so the story goes like this (It's a really good bedtime story according to Mommy).

It all started with Mommy's water breaking. I don't know what that means. Mommy tried explaining. It the cushioned fluid I was in when I was inside Mommy. Mommy and Daddy had a tough time figuring that out. Apparently it took them the whole night to figure it out. When they did, Mommy started panicking as usual. Well! Mommy should be; I was almost a month early. Mommy thought all sorts of crazy stuff. Daddy started panicking after talking to the doctor who had advised them to check-into the maternity ward.

Mommy quickly finished packing her overnight bag. She just threw in all her clothes. At about 5.30am they drove to the hospital. It was only about 10 minutes away. Checking-in was easy. Mommy and Daddy had already done the pre-admission part. So it was easy.

So many nurses surrounded Mommy making sure she was doing fine. Everyone was waiting for doc to arrive and make his diagnostics. The nurses decided to do a quick ultrasound to check my positioning. So I was sitting like a little tiny Buddha statue. Daddy thought that was funny. We still had to wait for the doc to re-confirm everything. Mommy started panicking again. This time I think it meant she had to do a c-section. Well, I'm sure Mommy wasn't exactly expecting this early and a surgery????? Poor Mommy. I think I'm putting her through too much just for a few hours.

Anyway, cut the story short. Mommy had to go through a emergency c-section. I was born 2 May 2007 at 10.21am. A little early but everything good and well. That's what is important. So that's the story of my birth. More stories to come. I'm learning something new everyday. I've also very importantly learnt the techniques of seeking attention when needed. It works pretty well. I will explain the theory behind it.

Mommy Pictures

Mommy almost there @ 35 weeks (taken on 29th April 2007)

Pictures.. Pictures of my new toys

My expensive Cadillac ride (in the US) or Gen2 (in Malaysia). Mommy says it's so expensive-lah the travel system for a baby.

The stroller. It's a neat gadget. Loads of unnecessary toys for Mommy and Daddy to play with.

This is where I get to take my shower. It's a special little baby tub just for me.

My Frog Pod. I think this is where I get to keep my rubber duck and other bathroom toys.

My car seat (Hopefully my safe ride anywhere, right Mommy????????)

The crib (Mommy filled with all my stuff for right now because Mommy doesn't really have any place to put it. Mommy said Daddy and her will get around to getting a dresser for me).

It was Raining Babies

Mommy and Daddy had a baby shower party last weekend. I think it was a party in the honour of me. Everyone was talking about me. Made me feel important. I also received a lot of gifts, crib, stroller and car seat all in one day. I was so excited to receive so many things. Thanks to everyone for the gifts. I'll make sure Mommy gets the thank you cards out as soon as possible.

I think Mommy and Daddy were a little overwhelmed by the amount of gifts and baby stuff in the house. Mommy was like so stressed out. Too many baby stuff!!!! No baby! Daddy got worried and told me to hang on there. It wasn't time yet. I still had a few more weeks to go.

My crib looks pretty cool. Mommy has promised to take pictures for me. Mommy and Daddy have decided that I was going to sleep in the same room as them. I'm excited to be with them. I hope to sometimes sleep in their new bed.

There isn't much to say this time. I'm so excited to meet everyone. Mommy says a few more weeks. Mommy's Mommy and Daddy will be here in less than a month. I'm excited to meet them.

Pictures will be posted as soon as Mommy gets around to downloading the pictures into the computer :)

The week that was

Last weekend was a rough one for everyone. There was snow on the ground in April. Daddy said it was freak weather. April is supposed to be spring. Pretty flower blooming everywhere.

Mommy and Daddy had to attend an 8-hour crash course on childbirth. It was a very interesting day for me. There was a lot of new information for me to learn. It was also very entertaining. Mommy was a little uncomfortable though I think. 8 hours is a very long time for her to sit still and listen. There were a few exercises to help the pregnancy go easier. They also had another tour of the maternity ward. This time the instructor was showing different type of techniques to make the whole experience easier and memorable.

Mommy was exhausted by the time whole class was over. She still wanted to go to the temple though. I don't know why. Daddy said it was the Tamil New Year. Daddy said Mommy would explain to me here pretty soon.

Lately, there hasn't been much space in Mommy. I seem to be getting my leg / feet stuck in her rib cage. She's always complaining about the pain. I'm trying really hard not to hurt Mommy. I'm sorry. Everything is also much clearer now. I can recognize all of Mommy's organs.

Mommy has been also having a lot of tired / sleepless nights because of this I think. On Sunday, Mommy and Daddy went out and bought a brand new bed for themselves. I thought I was the one getting the new crib. Mommy was very very excited about getting one. Mommy said it was time anyway as Mommy's parents were coming and they really didn't have a bed to sleep in. Hence the new bed. It's pretty cool. It so huge that the 3 of us can sleep without running into each other!!!

I wonder when my new crib will arrive??? I hope Mommy will let me post pictures of it on the blog.
