Hello World!

Hello world! I am 7 days old today and loving to be here. Let me tell you a little about myself:

Name: Kaitlin Chi-Kay Kong
DOB: 10/17/2007
Time of Birth: 1:50 am
Weight: 6 lbs 8oz
Length: 18.5 inches

I am living with mama, baba, Grandma, Grandpa and Tina yee yee and they take great care of me. All of them can't help but smile when they see my face :). I have met a lot of people these few days--Helen yee yee and my new Jaci yee cheung even drove all the way down from SF to see me! The coolest part was that I got to meet my Great-grandma.

Yesterday was my first doctor's appointment where I found out I have almost reach my birth weight again! I am growing up so fast only sleeping, eating and looking cute all day long. Just look at my pictures:

Is today IT?

Baby preparation at full gear starting October, but both baba and mama got a little cold after the SF trip. We got a lot of baby stuff from Auntie Cora and Auntie Ellen from SF. The past 2 weeks, we've been shopping for the rest of the stuff. Baba installed car seat and bassinet, mama and Tina yee yee did baby laundry, etc.

Today is October 16
- mama's 1st day of maternity leave
- mama felt contractions at around 430am... not sure if it's real labor... we'll see
- baba went to office to pick up work... if it's for real, he'll rush back :P
- mama's writing this blog while waiting to see if there will be more contractions.

Addendum:
