Baby Benjy

So, confirmed boy. The doctor says. It's hard to describe how R and I felt when Dr Liu pointed to the scan and asked, "Did I already tell you about the sex of the baby? I said 80% chance boy? Well, confirmed boy ah!" I suppose at that point, being a Chinese doctor speaking to a Chinese, he was expectng me to jump for joy that the Lau family line is truly secure. After all, we have been calling the baby "Benjamin" for the longest time, haven't we?

Seeing that he was not going to get the Jump of Ecstatic Joy, he promptly took these two photos. "Wah, look at his arm ah. So strong! Just like a man. And his face, so good-looking ah? High forehead."

I smiled. Actually, I think having two sons, close in age, would be loads of fun. I just have to be realistic about having a quiet and peaceful home for some years! Looks like R and I will be getting some ear muffs and seriously child-proofing the home when we get back.
