Here's something my good friend Larry wrote to announce the birth of his first son, baby Joel, which unofficially is my godson (I'm super duper fantabulously joyful!!!).
I like what he wrote, so with his permission, here it goes....
Hi my name is Joel Jun Kuan LEE. You may not know me (yet) but you know my parents – Emilia and Larry Lee.
I was due for birth on 12 June 2008 but I guess I like giving surprises. Being 2 weeks early, I decided to pop into your world on 27 May 2008, 1.05pm –
weighing 3.42kg and lying 49.5cm tall. Hahaha!
At 7am that morning, mummy was having contraction. My parents were scheduled for a staff meeting @ Canaanland <http://www.canaanland.com.my/> but had to detour instead to Pantai Hospital. Upon checking in at 9.30am, the nurse discovered that mummy was already 9cm dilated hence no time for all those pain-killer stuff.
With the aid of some gas, mummy was pushing hard. Daddy was right beside mummy throughout – reading Psalm 139 and also P.U.S.H.-ing (Pray Until Something Happens). I don’t think you’d ever seen him so pale, which explains why he will not be pictured here. Haha!
Boy, did I make mummy labour hard until her legs were cramping all over . So at around 12.15pm, Dr Sum Keong WONG advised mummy to enlist the aid of a “vacuuming” device to suck me out. I happily obliged and part with my comfort zone in the womb and decided to pop into a brand new world at 1.05pm.
Although it was hard work yet my parents would testify that the entire delivery process was nonetheless swift – all glory be to God and special thanks to Dr Wong. In fact, they’ll tell you that it was a Supernatural Childbirth (entitled after a book they have been reading throughout the pregnancy weeks) <http://www.canaanland.com.my/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=2846> .
So, what have I been up to over the last few days? I’ve been sleeping, crying, drinking milk and listening to lotsa music – daddy has got music all lined up as though it’s some kinda nutritional plan. Anyway, I’ve gotta catch some sleep now so until I see you some time, some day, some where, here’s me saying thanks for being a part of my parents’ lives and now mine!
