April

Is Easter this coming Sunday! April is memorable month to me. Time files... Kate will be 2 year-old next week. She was born on the 19th of April. I remember 2 years ago, James was busy during this time for tax season. He always told Kate (in my tummy), baby don't come out yet... wait till daddy finish his work first. Kate's really a good girl. She waited till daddy finished his work. I had my first contraction right on the 17th. ( Normally the dead line is April 15th but for year 2007, the last day was 17th due to 15th fell on Sunday.). James did not catch any good sleeps at all because that night I kept disturbing him. We went to see my OBGYN on the 18th but she said my contraction was not intense enough so she wanted me to go back and rest. I admitted on the 19th morning due to the contraction was intense and 5 mins apart. I had high blood pressure so they induced my labor. Kate was born after 16 hours in delivery room with pains.

My beloved grand-ma passed away few days before Kate was born. Unfortunately, I did not manage to see her or talk to her before she leaves us. She was a vegetarian and a holly Buddhism follower as far as I could recall. My mom told me my grand-ma had done alot of charity works when she was alive so the temple in Thailand build a small temple in her name. I am very pround of her. I will tell Kate about my grand-ma, how she contributed to the society and what she had done.
