Default Baby Felicia is born today!!!!

Irene's doc asked us to go in to Burnaby General to get the inducing process started at 10am Thursday. Then we plan to go do some more shopping, maybe catch the new Indy movie (yeah right), go home to pack up everything and wait for the contractions to start. Got all the stuff piled up by the front door already.

So the great adventure is about to begin in earnest and we are all so looking forward to Felicia Rueh Ing Shieh's birth.

Felicia = Delight, happiness, joy
Rueh = Thunder (taken from my name as per Chinese tradition)
Ing = Intelligent, wise
Shieh = ?? (I have no idea)

I will try to update this thread when I can or call a friend to post on here any news.

Can't wait to be a DADDY!!!!!!!

Anthony & Irene

Congrats in advance! My wife was also induced but due to complications we had to stay in the hospital, it would be nice to get out for a bit before the labour starts. Enjoy today, It is a day you will never forget!

So excited, woke up after less than 4 hours sleep. Now I'm gonna be tired later today.

If I can, I'll post pics up as soon as possible. Here's praying that it will be a smooth and easy birth.

Despite my personal desires to the contrary, my family have already told me that Felicia is going to be one extremely spoiled little girl, since she is the first grandchild on my side of the family for my parents. My sister and brother are already playing the role of favourite aunt and uncle, with all their presents and Felicia isn't even born yet

Well, it's off to the hospital in less than 2 hours.

Anthony

Irene & Felicia will be staying full-time at my mom's for the first month (Chinese tradition) so my mom can teach Irene how to be a new mom.

I'll be running back & forth doing renos (building a big deck out back for the one month old party (another Chinese tradition).

Funny thing is, our family has never been that adamant about holding onto Chinese traditions, but I guess that changes when you have your own "rugrat"

Irene will be in charge of teaching her languages (Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, FooChow) and music (piano).

I'll be in charge of her academics (math, English, sciences, socials, etc.)

My parents and siblings are in charge of spoiling her silly and then handing her back to us to deal with a "little Princess" (oh great)

And so the grand adventure begins....

Wow, you type a lot for a guy who's wife is going into labour today.

Best of luck with everything. I can tell you that no matter how much you plan, there will still be curve balls, so at some point, just stop planning so much and hang on tight because it's gonna be a wild ride.

Congratulations and once again good luck.
