Welcoming Aydan

Today my favorite cousin sister gave birth to a baby girl and she named her Aydan, which means ‘little fire’.

Very interesting name for a girl because the only other time I’ve heard of that name was in Sex & the City, being one of Carrie’s boyfriends, Aidan (my personal favorite of them all, love him even more than Big!).

Being a parent is such a huge responsibility: 9 months of carrying her around in your womb, waking up every 4 hours to feed her, attempting to figure out the reason for her incessant crying, trying your level best not to strangle her when she won’t shut up, changing her stinky diapers, worrying yourself to death when she gets down with flu, etc.

But at the end of the day, when you watch the bundle of miracle sleeping soundly in her cot, looking like a little angel, you will feel that all the stuff you’ve been through have been worth it and you will not trade the experience for anything in this world. With the exception of maybe, say, 1 million dollars (for the experience only, not the baby, ok?)

Congratulations, TC and Ching2.

By the way, I can’t believe that you are a parent now and I actually still find it kinda hard to imagine but I somehow have faith that you will be a wonderful mommy. Please don't ask me why.

Good luck, Aydan and please try your best not to piss mommy off (if you can) because she can be kinda scary when she’s angry. You know, like the big bad wolf in the story of the Three Little Pigs? She’ll huff, she’ll puff and blow the house down and eat……. uhm, well, we don’t really want that to happen, do we?

P/S: Please do not torture Aydan like what you did to the Shih-Tzus at home. Just kiddin'!
