Waiting patiently for doctor for regular checkup. Someone said patient has to be patient
For pregnant mummy, even though you are not sick, you got to be patient too. All hospital also the same, especially good and famous doctors :-p
Ben’s mummy always bring along a book to read, I hope Ben will grow up, having good habit of reading good books.

Baby Ben, besides Bobo, you have another girl friend now, her name is Wen Xin, born in May, 2.8kg.
Her daddy was your daddy’s course mate, so was Bobo’s mummy
Ben: “Uncle Lee Keat & Eng Tatt, faster give me more baby friends :-p”

Baby Ben, this is your 2nd cousin who was born in the same year as you. His name is Tan Zhe Tau, born in April, 3.15kg.

Congratulations — your pregnancy has reached full-term, which basically falls anywhere between weeks 38 and 42; your due date is simply the midpoint of this time period. Soon, you’ll be able to hold your baby in your arms, look into her eyes, and welcome her into the world. She’s more than six and one-half pounds now, and all her organ systems are in place. She has shed most of her lanugo and greasy vernix coating, both of which she’ll actually ingest, along with some amniotic fluid; her digestive system will turn this strange concoction into a dark, tarry stool called meconium. Her lungs and vocal chords are ready to wail — a sound you’ll hear once she makes her entrance.

*If you are pregnant, do sign up the pregnancy calendar at www.parenting.com or www.babycenter.com. A lot of good information about pregnancy and baby there.

This is baby Nicholas, another friend of baby Ben. All his coming birthday will be public holiday because he was born on Labour Day.
Forgot his weight but obviously not as big as baby Sean and his mummy had an easy labour too

*This happy family photo won the a prize for a photo competition

Please meet baby Ben’s friend, baby Sean, born on 3th Sept, at about 9pm via c-sect bcos he is 4.15kg (9.1lb)
Baby Sean is so far the biggest among all friends

Labour for big baby is harder compare to labour of medium size (2.8- 3.5kg) baby but big baby is easier to handle after birth.
They have bigger stomach to take in more milk so they can sleep longer at night, that means daddy and mummy do not need to keep on waking up. Bigger also means they are not that fragile.
