Here's a coupon for a free coffee at Starbucks

Wife and baby are still in the hospital right now and are recovering fine. Baby Brenden is starting to drink milk now.

The things people don't tell you after birth that a man should know...Now I've confirmed this with the nurses and doctors...They get emotional, very emotional after birth.

I wasn't ready for that...I was thinking well after the birth I can head back to work...Boy I was wrong...Now I know what the meaning of support is...

I told this to my budy and he said "Yup it just goes down hill from here..."

I that's what I was told about marriage...but I guess once you hit rock bottom there is always hell to look forward to...haha

The 8th month 15th day in the lunar Calender is the day of the Lunar Festival. Only if our baby was born on August 15th..Here are some pics of the morning of August 16th 2006.

Fist Pic is me and my Scrubs...Trust me I'm a Doctor...hahaha...



















1.2 Kg or 2lb 11oz













That's my wife down there

This morning at 2:45am the wife and I gave birth via C-Section to a
Premature baby boy. 2lbs 11oz.

We were expecting to have the baby last Saturday, but after some tests
the doctors suggested to wait. Monday morning the wife was not feeling
to well, so the doctors tried to induced labour that night after a
day 1/2 of induced labour the baby was not too happy, so this morning
we had a c-section...

Becuase of such an unexpected early birth the name will be TBA.

The baby is 2months early due to my wife's medical condition.

I'll be posting up pics on my blog soon...I'm just a bit tired right
now after a couple hrs of sleep.

For those who do not know my blog's url it's pretty easy to remember...

I'm totally against privatazation.

It's not cos our deparment has been privatized, it's cos it's all profits before people.

I'm glad the doctors, nurses and cleaners are not privatized in the Vancouver Women's hospital.

The food in the hospital sucks, and when I mean sucks I mean it's worse than airplane food, and food that has been cooked in China.

The nurses told us that the food was good before, until they got privatized.

The first day I was at the hospital I went to the Hospital Caff to see what they have there. I thought man the food here looks like shit!

I'm like, I hope my wife doesn't get fed this shit...Yup she does...I mean I rather have TV dinners than this food...The Eggs were like sponge, the salad was brown, the meat was grean, the tater tots tasted like they were microwaved.

The nurse sent us a dietian from the caff, and they were writing us up a meal plan. He told us that his sister is giving birth soon too. I asked him if she was staying at this hosptial. He said no..she's staying at another hospital.

Great this is the type of food that their own ppl would not feed their own family but to strangers.

I'm brining food for the wife, I don't want her to get sick from the fricken hospital food.

So I found out that my 95 yr old grandmom went to the hospital also cos she fell and sprained her wrist or hand.

Here we go again another rush of bad luck comin again?

My wife got moved to a private room in the Woman's Hospital...WOW pretty nice there they have a bath and shower room, sink, TV, Internet, an automatic bed and they feed you.

The room is much nicer than some of the hotels I've stayed at in Asia.

So I took my wife hunting for babies, and we found them...we looked in the room where they have all the babies and we stood and watched the nurses taking care of the Premie babies.

They were all so cute and tiny.

We're at 29 weeks 3 days and counting...
