Day 1 – Hello World!

My Name is Alicia.  I was born just a few hours ago, and here’s a picture of my Daddy getting dressed up for the occasion. 

Did he look like he only had 4 hours of sleep the night before?  I didn’t think so.  But that’s what Addison, my brother, told me.  Nice shoes, by the way!

Here’s a picture of Mommy’s Doctor in actions by around 0745hrs.  (Yes, Daddy had the entire procedure on tape Memory Stick.)

At precisely 0753hrs PST, here I am!  (I’ve told you!  Daddy recorded the entire procedure… in HD!)

Due to the graphical content of the video, Daddy didn’t release the video footage to me for broadcasting.  Instead, Daddy provided these pictures (above), and covered some portion of the picture with this stupid horse logo (with an F-word underneath it).  But those who dare to see the beast, may simply click on the picture itself!

Shortly after I was pulled from my Mommy’s tummy, Daddy escorted me to the Recovery Room.  Once there, Daddy immediately gave me some lectures on what I’m allowed/not-allowed to do.  No, I wasn’t listening to him, in case you wonder.  Shortly after, Mommy returned from the Operating Room, and I got to spend more time in Mommy’s arms.

By around 0900hrs, it was time for my first bath.  Yup, can you believe it?  They only wiped me off after pulling me out of Mommy’s tummy.  it wasn’t until almost an hour later, that the nurse decided to give me a bath.  And it wasn’t even a real bath!  She just used a wet towel to pad me down! 

And just when I thought not getting a real bath was bad, you should see what the nurse did to me next!

About an hour later, I finally got to meet my lifetime partner in crime!

Yup, that’s Addison, my older Brother.  Can’t you tell that he wasn’t too thrill to see me!?  Considering that it was this moment that he realized that he’s longer the center of attention, I think he held up pretty well!

Next up, Grandma!

Gee, thanks, Grandma!  Ugly?  Me?  Why don’t I take this opportunity to remind you, once again, what Addison looked like when he was born! 

Grandpa’s turn now…

Yup, he’s much nicer!  Just in case you wonder, the reason why they had to visit me separately (one at a time), was because Mommy and I were still being held up in the Recovery Room.  While in the Recovery Room, only 2 Visitors are allowed at any given moment.  That’s why they took turn to visit me.

After the first round of visiting, Mommy and I were released from the Recovery Room, and off we went to our own private room.  Meanwhile, Grandma and Grandpa took Addison back home for his afternoon nap.  it was not until then, Mommy, Daddy, and Myself were able to get some much needed rest.

A few hours later, Addison returned!

And here is his first attempt to touch me, and to give me a kiss…

Take it easy with your touching and kicking, Brother!

Later that evening, Grandma (Tong) arrived and here’s a video of Grandma seeing me for the first time.

Noticed that Addison is still everywhere?  Obviously, he was still trying to be the center of attention!

Our final Guest of the day is Grandpa (Tong), who arrived later that evening…

It’s been a long day and I am glad to see that Grandma is staying here with us at the hospital tonight.  But before I go, here are some pictures taken from today.
