A Busy Day!

Dear Baby,

Wow, Mommy had such a busy day today! It started when I dropped off your big brother from school at 9:30 a.m. and ended after I picked him up at arrived home at 7 p.m. Non-stop! Let me tell you what I did today.

After dropping your brother off at school, Daddy and Mommy went down to the location of our future home. It's the first meeting with the Superintendents and our future neighbors at our new townhome in Sunnyvale. We toured around the site and saw that the foundation has been poured. We will have more of these meetings in the future, showing us step-by-step how our home will be built. This is exciting! This is probably going to be the only meeting that Mommy could attend. When I go back to work, it would be difficult to come down to Sunnyvale. But Daddy will try to attend those meetings. We met our future neighbors, who we have met several times when going to the model homes. This family has a young baby daughter with Down Syndrome, and is about your age. The mommy asked me how you're doing, and I had to break the news to her. I know she's sad for us, as her daughter is going through some medical issues herself, and she could imagine the pain that we're going through. But it's nice to see friendly and familiar faces, and to know that they will be living right across from us in the future.

Mommy and Daddy then went back up to San Bruno and had lunch with my old high school friend, Auntie Julie and her husband Uncle Andy, who are visiting from New York. It's been many years since I last saw Auntie Julie. Mommy visited New York many years ago, and Auntie Julie was nice enough to let me stay at her place. Auntie Julie has been very supportive of what's going on and has asked her Church friends to pray for you. Aren't you a lucky little fellow?

Mommy and Daddy then went to another appointment at Kaiser for your big brother. We attended an orientation on the services that their Child Psychiatry Dept provided. We also talked to the psychologist a little bit about your big brother, as your big brother's school was concerned about some of his behaviors and suggested us get him evaluated for Autism. Mommy will have another phone interview with the doctor on Monday, and then will bring your big brother in on Wednesday. Please pray for your big brother. Make sure he's fine. Mommy is not sure how much more emotional stress she can take if your brother were to be diagnosed with Autism. Mommy deeply feels that he is fine, but is scared that the doctor would tell me otherwise.

Mommy's day continued with finally buying plane tickets to go back to Macau. Mommy and your big brother will be going back from May 12 to June 20. I know this is a long time, but Mommy wants to make sure we're back to cheer up Ah Po before her surgery. Your Uncle Carlos and Auntie Mena are also helping us plan our Hong Kong Disneyland trip. Oh, how I want you to be able to go to this "happiest place on earth" with us.

Mommy then went to Bank of The West in Burlingame to drop off the checks for the March for Babies Walk, and got some T-shirts for the walk on Saturday as well. Well, the sizes of the shirts are not perfect for everyone, but at least we have shirts! This is going to be exciting. Mommy also had a conference call with other mommy walkers earlier tonight. It's nice to hear everyone's story and how inspired they are to walk this Saturday. I am really looking forward to it. We all love you, honey, and this event is for you.

Mommy ended the day with attending your big brother's preschool Annual Spring Picnic. Mommy really didn't know what to expect, but was glad to have attended. Your big brother had a lot of fun eating all the fruits and cookies, and totally ignored the puppet show until after it's over. I guess for him food is more important than the puppet show. Mommy also saw how your big brother interacted with his friends. I was glad I didn't see any hitting. The other boy was a little 'wilder' than your big brother, but they mostly played nice. Not much damage, aside from sand in the hair.

Wow, Mommy had a long day! I would have to go to sleep soon. Tomorrow is another big day. Mommy and Daddy would be going to see you and to select your marker. Would you please inspire Mommy tomorrow so that I could select something you like? How about an angel? Mommy wants an angel to always watch over you because I know you will be our guardian angel from above.

I'll see you tomorrow, dear. Mommy will bring you some toys to keep you company, ok?


Miss you,
Mommy
