Valentine's Day Surprise to AiYaH!

Coincidentally, it was valentine's day on our next visit to Dr Lim's clinic. As usual, it was a 30 minute wait for a 5 minute consultation. But, this visit was special because Feli's first trimester is over..^_^... and Dr Lim happily announced to us that Baby Chan is well and healthy and from experience, predicts that Baby Chan is Mr. Baby Chan... LoL...

Immediately all my talks with Feli on how to raise a boy (as opposed to raising a girl) starts to flood my mind. Basketball vs Soccer? Guitar vs Piano? Army before tertiary education vs Army after tertiary education? etc etc... then realisation hit me... Damn... I'll be having a competitor for my PS3 and PC... (LoL)... but nonsense aside, I was damn happy to know that Baby Chan is happy and healthy and on his(as predicted by Dr Lim) merry way to making a grand entrance into the lives of Feli and mine.

The clinic visit ended quite early so we decided to walk over to East Ocean Restaurant for a simple Dim Sum breakfast. And it was during this breakfast that we finally broadcasted this joyful news to the rest of our friends.

Why wait till now and not tell others earlier? Well, lets just say I pan dang (superstitious) lah... lol... The elder generation keep reminding us that we should not be telling other about baby until at least after the first 3 months (aside from direct family members). We know of a few couples around us who defied this superstition and ended up having unfortunate miscarriages... *shudder*... That coupled with the fact that it isn't that hard to keep shut about it for 3 months, we decided to follow along with the advice given.

A total of 17 sms (hmm... i need to have more friends) was sent out to 17 of my best friends (Zai, Yong, Shifu, Yeo, Zhao Xue, Jian, Huiting, H.B., Nicole, Joe, Alicia, Liang, Celine, Zheng, Jun Jun, Beishan, Siew Ern,... hope i counted correctly and didn't leave out anyone). We received so many well-wishes that our breakfast was interrupted between each mouthful...

*memo to self: send out sms only after finishing breakfast in the future*

So Yeah~! to us and Yeah~! to a happy baby
