Hello World!

Hola!

I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Adrian Brandon Tam and I decided to make my grand entrance on Friday, July 25th 2008 at 6:38AM (well, if the truth be told, mummy "forced" me out because I had overstayed my welcome in her womb by a whole week -- I just couldn't help it as it was just too comfy!). I weighed in at a hefty 8lbs 5oz and 21 inches (supposedly 21 inches is the "new" average). To show my appreciation for mummy's awesome room and board for the past 9 months, I tried to keep her labor as short as possible. Mummy went into labor at 6:15PM, but didn't start pushing until around 5:50AM in the morning. I didn't want to torture mummy by having her push for hours so i decided to come out after 40 minutes. Even Mummy was shocked that I had came out so fast -- head and body all in one swoop! To show how brave I was, I didn't even cry as I left my humble abode of 41 weeks when I entered this world. Mummy rewarded me by hugging me tightly and telling me how much she loves me. Aww! How it felt so warm and safe to be held in her arms!

I couldn't wait to lie in daddy's strong muscular arms, but there were lots to be done. The nurses were fussing over me and I enjoyed every minute of their attention. Daddy did a great job of cutting my umbilical cord and wasn't nervous at all. I had to be whisked away for a bit so the nurses could conduct some further checkup. Apparently, I drank a bit too much water when I was inside mummy's womb. The nurses took good care of me and it wasn't long before I was returned to my mummy and daddy!

I'm getting hungry now, so I'm going to "tell" mummy and daddy that I'm hungry. It's bizarre, but when I open my mouth to tell them something, instead of hearing my words, they hear me crying. Note to self -- I better improve on my communications skills so they'll understand me better!

Mummy took a gazillion of pictures of me already and I'll ask her to post them as soon as she can. I've been keeping mummy busy with my constant need for feeding, pooping and peeing. I'll try to sleep in today so she can post the pictures soon.

More to come.....

Still no sign of Baby Tam yet...

Only 4 days until my big D-Day, but still no sign of Baby Tam yet. Since I've never been a big fan of having a holiday baby, I told him not to come out on the 4th of July and that he can come out anytime AFTER Independence day. Well, 10 days have passed and I think he's still taking my words to heart and is refusing to come out! Both Ed and I are now telling him on a regular basis to "come out to play". Hopefully, he'll listen and do just that VERY SOON!
