A baby was born

星期二在公司收到媽媽的留言, 說"某某某" (聲音太小根本聽不到) 生了, 是個男孩, 問我知不知道. 說完氣都不喘一口就噗地一聲掛了. 我這麼聰明伶俐的人一下子之間也給矇了, 不是明熙阿, 人家懷的是千金, 而且再說時間又還沒到. 所以到底是誰阿????
結果搞了半天, 就是明熙啦! 聲音怎麼那麼小, 下次要買金鐘散孝敬我娘.

接下來陸續接到小姨子傳來的照片, 真的因為是家人嗎? 別人的小孩看看也就算了, 看到那種照個不停的父母我也都會在背後匪夷所思, 那翻來覆去不都一個樣嗎? 但看著這個沒有名字的小姪子, 我忍不住翻來覆去一直重複地看著那幾張照片(到底有幾張...讓我算一下... 39張!!!??? 換做別人老娘3張之後, 好啦, 9張之後就沒耐性了), 深怕沒記清處他的長相...其實每天都長得不太一樣, 我看我也就甭瞎忙活了.
做姑姑阿姨叔叔奶奶都已如此, 又何況是他的父母? 最神勇的就是明熙沒打麻醉的壯舉, 要是我一定會死活求醫生給我多來兩針一勞永易. 但難道說這就是母愛嗎? 寧可自己挨痛也不願意冒那哪怕只有萬分之一的危險. 母愛真的很神奇, 說不定萬一我(不幸)懷孕, 我也會激發我偉大的母愛叫醫生給我多來一針就行了!

隔著距離, 而且還要好久才會見到面, 但全家老少都洋溢在添丁的喜悅之中, 真是神奇!

(附上一張照片以做紀念, 希望哥哥不要介意, 這是他兩天大還在醫院的模樣)

恭喜恭喜

在香港, 生了小孩要請吃薑醋豬腳, 不知道台灣的習俗是甚麼

Hey you know what - in that photo, your nephew looks like he is some sort of chef ready to bring out a big pasta bake from the oven!

Paul, for your information, in Taiwan we give out 'red eggs' and 'Oil rice' to our friends and relatives to announce the news about the new born and people give you money and gold necklace/bracelet/pendent in return... Normally the parents keep the money and gifts (well I have never seen my gold necklaces, let not even mention the money) so go wild you two!

As for the new mom - normally her mother would cook her sesame oil whole chicken. My dad had to kill the poor rooster himself when I was born and he didnt really enjoy the experience... guess that was the reason I am the only child?!
