Status Update

Thank you all for your blessings and encouragement these days. I'm
still staying in the hospital and writing this blog on my cell phone.
Therefore I can't upload many photos or respond to comments at this
moment. I'll be home hopefully in two days.

Born!

April 28, 1:02 am, our son was born. A prematured baby weighted 2325g
at 34 weeks.

Emergency!

4 am this morning, Allie woke up because her water was broken. We hurried to the hospital immediately. It is still almost two month earlier than expected delivery date. After check up, the doctor confirmed that the water is indeed leaking out. Allie was hospitalized for maybe as long as the baby is born, and she must remain in bed at all times. That means, she have to do *everything* in bed. I'm taking a short break to pack and is leaving for the hospital in minutes.

Get A Mac Ads

Apple's "Get a Mac" TV commercials has been widely discussed from day one. The two actors playing this series even became really famous. I spent some time collecting the links for all ads in this series here. Click on the links and maybe you'll go get a Mac!

Cool MyBlogLog

I found an interesting community called MyBlogLog. It's a place for bloggers, providing many cool widgets to track visitors, stats, and so on. Recently I got curious who's been viewing my sites, so I put a ClustrMaps on my site to see where people come from. MyBlogLog is another surprise I bumped into. I know I'm not a serious blogger and my site will never be hot, so they may be more useful to you. Go check it out!

Small Wonder

Sunday evening a strange thing was found on Allie's underwear. It was finger-shaped, about 3 cm x 1 cm x 0.5 cm, which looks and feels like a piece of cooked meat. I put it in a resealable plastic bag and preserved it in the refrigerator. Today we went to the hospital to have it checked. The doctor said it is definitely the myoma uteri, or fibromyoma, which has been inside for a long time and caused bleeding. Somehow it just came off by itself, so no more surgery is needed to take it off. It's wierd, but I welcome such unusual events.

For the Record

I took a few photos of Allie to keep a record of her pregnancy. The day this photo was taken maked the beginning of the eighth month --two month away for the finish line (of stage one).

Raindrops

A shower left many shining jewels on the leaves in the garden.

Landscape on Freeway

I shot this on the freeway one day when I was driving to work. The open landscape of the clouds over the mountains ahead was astonishing, so I grab my cell phone and took a picture. Judging from the result, it is hard to shoot while driving.
