Wow… really cute!
Congratulations on your new member of the family, ben!
Hope she wouldn’t cry too much at night…
Cheers!
Thanks doc. She does not cry too much, at least for the time being
Congrats Ben & family! What a beautiful name
Congratulations Ben & Jane… coincidentally I posted about Super Mum
Jewelle: Thanks. We’ve had a shortlist of names for months already, but the baby arrived earlier than expected, so had to make up our mind faster!
swordie: Thanks. Hey, interesting article. C-Section means at least 3 months lah I suppose… will ask the doctor on Monday. What is more amazing is that Radcliffe’s won after 9 months, but Ingrid Kristiansen achieved something even more incredible: winning the 1983 Houston marathon after 5 months!
Update: the doctor said 6 months; only then can climb mountains and such like. Before that only can do light exercise like walking…
congratulation ben…….
Thanks Josie
is it advisable to drink 3 cans of tiger beer at a private hospital… say SMC?
Well as my Jordanian friend-turned-enemy-turned-friend-again said to me 6 years ago in Japan: “in life, you have to try everything at least once, except drugs”
ben, Jane, ai-ai & ethan,
Congratulations to the new addition. Nice name that goes with the cute baby!…
buli la kasi kawan si baby juliana & baby ermelinda ni…3 mths apart ja durang…
love - Cashman family
Congratulations Ben et al
Nice and cute name no doubt!
Joyce: Thanks for dropping by! Yes, 3 months apart is like almost the same age. Julius’s son Joel is about 8 months older than Ethan and now they are almost inseparable Ultraman and Power Rangers mates…
Donald: thanks Don, you could be next?
Hey Ben, Congrats! Am happy for you.
Cantik the name…
Thanks KadazanBonita
did u keep a diary of your previous babies from day one ?
Only starting from the 2nd. Very detailed, especially the first few weeks - even what time they answered call of nature, breastfeeding etc.
