恭贺新禧
JY,妞妞和我祝大家狗年愉快。
你们都知道妞妞是一月十六号出生的，赶了个鸡年的尾巴，所以也是属鸡的。
我在网上查了一下她的农历生日及八字：
公历：2006年1月16日（星期一）4点
农历：乙酉年十二月十七日寅时
春节：1月29日
节前：乙酉年
节后：丙戌年
八字：乙酉 己丑 乙巳 戊寅
五行：木金 土土 木火 土木
方位：东西 中中 东南 中东
生肖：鸡
本来我们的医生说要JY在一月十八号做刨腹产的手术。我妈说其实那天皇历上说不吉利，不宜吉事。我们是基督徒，所以不信这个。JY和我已经做好了准备在十八号手术。可是JY的羊水在十六号破了，所以就在十六号生了妞妞。
我们后来才听说十六号是皇历上的好日子，碰巧台湾演艺圈的小S选择在十六号刨腹产。所以小S的女儿和妞妞是同一天出生的。小S的女儿应该觉得幸运才对。;)
我们下星期会带妞妞去看皮肤科医生和她的儿科医生。妞妞有颗大的胎记在脖子上，儿科医生建议我们去看皮肤科医生，看看是不是要紧。妞妞两个星期大了,所以又要去做例行检查了。
希望大家继续为我们全家祷告。
下面是几张最近妞妞的特写。
我们会把妞妞所有的照片都贴在网上，点击右面Link里面的“Lauren’s Photos 妞妞所有照片“就能看到。

Lessons learned so far 和妞妞一起成长
Our daughter, Lauren has been exactly a week today. It’s indeed been an exciting journey for both JY and me to care for the new baby.
I thought I was well prepared for parenthood, read many books, attended baby-care classes and also has taken developmental psychology before. However, it turned out dealing with a [...]

We are home now
Hello again.
After spending four days in the hospital with JY, I’d like to let everyone know that we (JY, Lauren and I) are home now. We are accepting visitors, however, I’d much prefer if you call me at home before coming so I can make sure the time is opportune. The baby is [...]

My adventure with electricity part 2
Here is the remainder of the story.
Well, this introduces a problem. Out of all the circuit breakers on the panel, none was marked “Main”. That means the main breaker was somewhere else in the house.
I call my good friend Eddie, he’s very handy, and hoped for some advice. It turned out he [...]

My adventure with electricity part 1
I spent a large part of my Thursday night, Friday and Saturday morning trying to fix the electrical problem.
It all started when JY called me at work on Thursday morning, she told me that the wall outlet that’s next to her looked burned-out, and that there were no electricity in two of our bedrooms. [...]

Photos from my new Maxxum 5D
We spent most of Saturday with JY’s friends whose daughter, Felicia, was having her birthday party.
Actually, we originally wanted to visit JY’s friend Stella and remedy a regret we had. Stella graciously offered her son Bruce, to jump on our marital bed right after our wedding. It’s part of Chinese tradition, because Stella [...]

We named our baby!
As many of you know, we spent quite some time searching for the “perfect” name for our baby girl.
Our last post, Naming our baby part 2, garnered a lot of attention. Apparently, the author of the Freakonomics book commented on it as well.
We were overwhelmed by all the response, and went through each one [...]
