It's been a week...

Its been a week, Tess is eating very well, most of time, when she wakes up, she is searching for the milk, she lost some weight the first two days, we were worried, but now, look at her face, she is obviously gaining weight.


Jet Loves his little sister, he always come to give her kisses, when she cries, he always climb up her crib, check on her, and then came to me, say, " oh, no, baby ku( ku means cry in chinese)".

Our baby girl born

In the morning of May 21, I start to have bloody show, and contraction. we waited until midnight to go to the hospital, and the contraction was 8 to 10 minutes in between.
At the hospital, a midwife checked me and said my body wasn't ready for the baby, she told me to do some walk for 40 mins see if things change, if not, she will send us home. So I climbed the stairs from the first floor to 7th floor 4 times. She checked me, said I made a little progress but still she couldn't admit me. And then I tried to take a hot shower, the contraction came more frequently and stronger, but still she said I wasn't ready. Mason insisted to have the baby today, then she gave me a shot of morphine and another drug that was supposed to help my pain and help me fall asleep while I continued to dilate. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned and I continued to feel the contractions and couldn't fall asleep. Mason fell asleep though, because he was tired. At 7AM I couldn't stand the pain any longer. I woke Mason up through my tears. He went and got the midwife. We were surprised and happy to find out I was already dilated to 9cm and ready to have the baby. The hospital people were unprepared for me, because I was so close to having the baby. They didn't have time to give me medication and epidural or to send me to the delivery room. So, I ended up giving birth to our little Tess in the observation room. She was 6 lbs 14 oz and 19.5 inches long. We think she's so pretty and are so happy to have her join our family!
Here is Tess, she just born


Tess start to look at this new world...

I Had two little baby showers.

Mason didn't make the cake, He bought it. He told me before dinner, he is going to pick up a cake for my birthday, then when he came home with empty hand, he said cake is too expensive. "No, its not!" I said. I was a little sad to know that my birthday wouldn't have a cake. But after dinner from the restaurant, he show up an surprise cake.Haha...
