went to harbour city in the morning for photo taking, we've never bothered to take photos with the trees and decorations in mall before but this year we go early just to avoid the crowd, this is also the first time we go to mall together.
DIY family photo
first time in 茶餐廳, she seems interested in the 'black & white' coffee
Since i'm still on leave and have some free time, i was thinking to apply a passport for bb aerin altho we're not likely to travel with her in very near future. so i followed the instruction from the consulate's website:
The photos must be 2" X 2" (5 cm X 5 cm) with a white background.
Please make sure your child's eyes are open in the photo. One way to do this is to drape a white sheet over one (sitting) parent, who also holds the baby's head and neck upright under the sheet. The other partner takes the photo. A second way is to place the child on a white blanket on the floor and take the photo while standing over him/herotrait
there i took many photos, with her sitting upright position, yet none is really usable
bb aerin is already 2 months old! she's now 59.5cm long and weights 4.97kg. she smiles sometimes and still cries when she wants to call us, she starts cooing too, she'll response to you when you talk to her, she loves camera. and even trying to roll herself from center to the other side!
Andrew bought me, well its actually us a new camera, a more 'advanced' camera. its for me to take more photos of bb Aerin as she's still so little, he wants me to record every cutie moments NICELY. i'm not professional in photography at all altho i like to take snap shots all the time and pick up usage of gadgets easily. now i need to study and practice everyday with it, and will have a lesson (dinner) with another Andrew next week. hope he can help me to utilize the functions there. some photo samples of my new practice.see the first 2 pages for some new photos :
The speakers finally arrived, he ordered it 2 months ago, before bb was born. i've no interests in how nice the sounds are but i'm sure it's a nice decoration at home!
Decemeber 1, 2007
This is our 10th 'dating anniversary' but there's no special celebration 'anymore'...instead we went to our first baby party. We usually go to whereever there is a new born, and this time should be our turn but since most of them live in same area so we went to Michael's home, his daughter is only 2 days older than Aerin. There're 4 babies at the party and the oldest was only 8 mons, so actually its an adult party but with kids. Aerin is the tiniest among all babies as she's also the youngest but looking at picture, she doesnt look too small even she's 2 lbs lighter than the 2 days older girl next to her.
Chu sir is leaving HK and will be working in London for 5 years, this maybe our last gathering before he leaves. wish him all the best in London with his family!

bb finally has got a name, Aerin! we imagine a 'cool and independent' girl when we hear this name and hope our b will be like that as she grows
after Aerin's 1st month birthday, we both are 'officially' free from staying home. went to visit Aerin's great grandma yesterday, grandma was so happy to see her altho she cant really figure out who exactly this little lady is. 
got my belated bday present yesterday, i wldnt annoy him for buying gadget to me this time coz i hv been using my old phone for 1.5yrs
time flies, 1 month has passed, today is bb's first month birthday and i can still remember every scenes happened in the hospital a month ago ...the first sight i saw she, it was definitely not a love at first sight. a little confession to make, the first feeling to her was not excited, happy, but a bit disappointed how come she doesnt look as i pictured? she's not pretty at all. when sister, bro and in-laws came that night, they were so excited taking pics of the b, and my sis-in-law suddenly transferred the baby's photo and set as my mobile phone's wall paper...i secretly thought 'no need gwa, i want my hello kitty wall paper instead' and dare not to speak it out. the next day in the nursing room, the nurse handed me my baby, i looked at her...she's the exact baby i saw yesterday with the exact face, how come people could mix up babies?? they all have unique faces! though i had no feeling about the baby, i thought 'there u're, i'll be you mom and we'll be together'. all new moms in the nursing room were so affectionated, they all, 90% if not all talk to their babies!!! but it really seemed stupid to do baby talk, you know you talk to yourself and no one is answering. but since everyone was talking, i started to talk a bit too and of coz my baby didnt response to me. don worry, after 1 month's 'training', i'm now very used to talking to the air and already accepted this little stranger as a part of my family, i found her very cute at some points, and of coz also frustrating when she cries, but... i start to love her 
our latest family protriats :
今日係BB一星期生日, 又係工人生日, 所以我哋買左蛋糕一齊慶祝. 我哋成家都十月生日架!!
早上同爸爸去永安買嘢，又去海味鋪。因為坐月，而家日日要飲紅橐水，仲有雲耳等。因為健康院姑娘話著開Ｄ哺乳bra bra唔啱，今日順便買埋。因為都想留喺屋企多Ｄ，可能短期內都閉關了。
返屋企之後都好忙, 又要去健康院, 差唔多日日都有朋友, 親人嚟探阿B, 今個星期六, 日都已經有booking喇. 下星期爸爸要返工, 就小D朋友嚟, 得返我同B女兩個玩了.
今日第一次見同公公, 硬係要影返張相先. 另外同工人一齊同蛋糕影相.
我地星期六返左屋企lu, 由嗰日起屋企又多1個人, 不過B女好乖, 連我都好容易handle得到.
B女個樣好似男仔咁, 不過都幾得意, 而家佢個樣又已經有d唔同左. 嗰日andrew 喺產房幫手打氣, 睇住b女出生一刻都感動到眼濕濕. 不過我地都唔記得影張全家幅, 連合照同抱下都無, 個護士就抱走B女. 我就可以喺育嬰室餵B時見到BB, 但醫院仲取消左Baba探望時間嘅親子時間, 所以佢只可隔住玻璃睇馬騮咁睇b, 要出院嗰日先第一次抱b同合照詐.
第一日返嚟新baba硬係特別興奮, 我地就霸住個b嚟玩, 菲傭本來諗住做嘅我地都爭住做. 將喺醫院學嘅都立即實集一次, Andrew仲同阿b沖涼tim. bb成日訓, 所以我地都幾得閒, 不過第一個同佢嘅夜晚先知'頼'嘢! 原來佢夜晚先醒架!! 我地攪到成3點先有得訓. 所以經此一役, 我地尋晚就將bb交比工人幫手lu. 今個星期andrew攞假, 可以慢慢享受親子樂

finally delivered a girl after suffering from pain for like 7 hours, she weights 7.2lbs and very healthy! its a once in a life time experience, and honestly once is really enough.
i think i need to go to hospital today even we scheduled tomorrow, couldn't sleep last whole night becoz of the contractions, the intervals became more stable...i think its true labor this time. this is my birthday today, i know it'll be a hard day but my only wish is to experience a less rough day, please, don give me too much pain! good bless me.
隻腳d水腫都消左成個星期lu, 但聽人講要3腫3消個b先會出來, 都唔知要等幾時先再腫第2次. 今日睇完醫生, 佢話個b已經夠磅, 但位置仍然偏高, 所以決定預約下星期催生. 如果唔係要時間等佢自己降低, 就會養得太大就無咁易生架啦. 本來預產期係星期三 (my birthday!!), 醫生都比我地柬17或18號. 不過andrew就約星期四(18號), 費事我生日要入院咁辛苦喎.(其實佢話驚阿b同我一樣17號生日, d性格唔係咁好, 又唔係好叻). 後來諗諗下又覺得我地同一日生日好d. 而家要再約, 返而要等護士通傳, 睇下有無得改日子. 不過最少都知一定係下星期, 唔駛好似無時限咁等. 叫做'解決'左. 唔知點解我又唔係好緊張, 心情仍然好平靜, 呢兩日就執埋個包袱, 可能到時先識驚. haha 星期一andrew個妹結婚, 可能出埋今次街就要閉關了.
前日影既, d friend 話睇後面都唔似大肚, 所以要影張前後對照黎留念喎.
