Introducing... " *** Chan Thomas"!

We went to the doctor's today and here's the report (I know that Grandma A is anxious about baby's update!):

Baby is 9 weeks and 2 days old as of today and is 2.5 cm in length. When we looked at him/her on the ultrasound this morning, he/she twitched a few times - very cute! You can see on the above printout limb buds that would grow into hands and feet. So beautiful!

I'Ching isn't feeling too awful overall except for the occasional mood changes (from exhilaration to depression) but she's thankful that she has no real morning sickness. She's beginning to notice a pattern of her so-called cravings where she finds herself constantly thinking of foods she grew up eating - like Ipoh fishball noodles, "chee cheong fun" (Chinese rice noodle roll), Ipoh-style curry noodle and "chu chap chook" (congee with deep fried pig intestines) (Don't worry, baby's Grandma, such crazily exotic food will not harm the little one!)

Brian has been a most supportive husband where he would patiently endure his wife's whims and fancies. In fact, today, though he loathes being seen with a women's purse, he carried I'Ching's all the way from the doctor's to home as she was advised not to stress herself after her blood test. Ah...parenthood changes everything!

Brian and I'Ching,

I just saw the sonogram. It is incredible how you can tell the parts.

Meghan is slightly larger (ha, ha). We had her shower at Susan and Alan's Sunday and she got a lot of nice things. Is there going to be any way we can get stuff over to you?

I'll send you pics of the shower when I get them.

Love,
jan
