Introducing Jesse


hello world!


There's a new kid in town. Our spanking new little boy Baby Jesse, all 3kgs worth, landed on earth on 26th August 2004 at 2:16pm.

Thank you for all your prayers and well wishes. Both Mae and Baby Jesse are doing well. Me, I need lots of fluids and plenty of sleep.

To all of you who have cared to leave a comment throughout this rollercoaster ride, please know that Mae and I appreciate you. You have been great encouragement, for this blog, and also for the last few months of our live. We'd really like to buy you all a dinner, but that would be too costly. Instead, do take yourself out for a nice juicy steak and imagine us picking up the bill. Heheheh!!

I will get around to responding to your comments. I will also give you all the gory details in vivid, livid colours. I promise. :) Meantime, there's this strange little boy in our home who needs a whole lot of TLC. That, of course, and a diaper change.

    Believe me Jordan, he did look quite "uncle-ish" when he first arrived. Which is why I posted a later photo, otherwise he might scare all you readers.

  46. Baby Jesse's finally arrived! Was at my cousin's engagement yesterday and was really impatient to get into your blog. Hope you and Mae will get some rest in between changing Jesse's diapers and all that TLC.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Aww.... he looks adorable! Adorable enough, to be hugged and kissed... LOL, if you'd allow a complete stranger to do so. ;) But don't worry, I have no intentions to kidnap your lil one... I just popped by; from a link a friend of mine posted on LJ.
    Anyhoo, thank God for bringing baby Jesse into this world safely - as you and Mae wanted it. :) I pray that He'll continue to look out for the kid from his 'loft' up above... as always.
    Will pop occassionally by for more updates on the baby. In the meantime, do take care and God Bless you and your family.
    A fellow sister-in-Christ.

  52. James: WHaaaa? It's not nice to tease me, y'know. Besides, can't blame me for wanting to have cute babies when men like you go around gushing about them. ;) How's 'breastfeeding' going? :)

    ReplyDelete

    Thanks again, Shine!
    Amen to that, Irene. :)
    Thanks Aeryn.
    :lol: Until he starts screaming his head off, Glinar. :)
    Hmm... Mei, the feeding's been challenging. How did you think to ask that? ;)
    Thank you for that blessing, Pickyin! May he indeed. Not in size like daddy, though! :lol:
