Day 2 Post-partum...

Actually it is still Day 1 if you consider the time Baby Rei was born. However, Mummy was already getting the hang of being a freshie Mummy all over again, which means the excitement, the anxiety, those panda eyes, groping in the dark for baby etc, all comes in a package. Yesterday night, Daddy said he was fearful of dropping Baby Rei when he's cuddling him in the crook of his arm with an exhausted body and mind. Of course, he had just returned from the jungle from reservist less than a day before Baby Rei arrived and would definitely be too tired to handle the fragile little one. Mummy too, when latching Baby Rei this morning but luckily there was a pillow underneath to hold baby's weight.

It feels good to look at the product of yet another of our creation and wonder if we can afford more opportunities to get to know more of our future possible creations. We argued, about whose nose they had and who to blame for those single eyelids. We love them all, regardless.

I could stare at Baby Rei for long and be lost in my thoughts. Would he grow to be as talkative as his brothers, as kind as Donovan, as scheming as Dominus, would they form allies and fight like how Don and Domi behaves now, would Rei's long fingers make him the best pianist among all etc? Oh yes, and also, would he be G6PD deficient like his brothers?
