Do we look alike?

Here are some pictures of Matthew and Lauren around the same time. Do you think they look alike?

Matthew was definitely more chunky than Lauren. And Matthew has Daddy's feet and hands while Lauren has mommy's long fingers and toes!

Hee hee...

See you later!

Just born @ 12:24am 9.22.09!!

Well, I'm finally here! Exactly two weeks early and after three pushes I popped right out at 12:24am! I weighed 6lbs 11oz and was 19 inches long. My brother, Matthew was just 1lb heavier than me and almost 2 inches longer than me -- but hey, I was born two weeks earlier and he had another 2 weeks to bake in mommy's oven. Mommy was a super star and Daddy was great helping out with it all. My Aunt Janet and Uncle Dennis took care of Matthew. So very nice to have them in the city. :)

Here I am at the hospital in my bassinet. Unlike my brother, I got to stay by mommy's beside the whole time. It was nice to have mommy around all the time. Peekaboo!

Just a bit cranky...need more milk!

Stay tuned for some pictures with my big brother, Matthew!

Lauren Isabelle Kim!

So the long awaited day arrived when my little sister, Lauren Isabelle Kim, arrived on September 22, 2009. She was supposed to arrive on October 6, 2009 but decided to be early. On Saturday, September 19, 2009 after a normal day of working, mommy met daddy and I with Grandma Kwon for some good ol' kalbi. After that meal, mommy thinks her water may have broken up high in her placenta as she felt some kind of leaking after that meal all the way up through Monday. On Monday, she decided to call her doctor who said the leaking sounded normal and then my Aunt Janet and some of mommy's other friends. Since mommy's water never broke she didn't know what it felt like. All her friends and Aunt Janet said that it sounded like mommy's water broke. So on Monday night, we decided to go into the hospital and get it checked out. It was decided that mommy's water did in fact break and she had to be induced. Mommy got a dosage of pictocin around 9PM and by 1130PM, the contractions were in full effect. Grandma Kwon and Grandpa Kwon had just left around 11PM since nothing had really happened up to that point. However, around 1130PM, mommy was 8cm dilated. Daddy couldn't stand to see mommy in pain so he suggested the epidural. He went out to request it but Dr. Wirth, mommy's doctor, came in to check on her again and she was 10cm already. There was no time for the epidural anymore. Things started getting a bit crazy after that as mommy then felt the urge to push and after 3 pushes, Lauren came into the world! It was wild according to Daddy. Even Dr. Wirth had to tell mommy to hold on while they prepared the warmer and the table for delivery! I was of course at Aunt Janet and Uncle Dennis's house sleeping over for the night but they told me that the next day. My mom's birthing experience sounds action packed just like when I was born too! Jeez!

Since Lauren is now a voice on this blog, I'll let her take over from here. Here I am with mommy and my big brother at the hospital and here's daddy holding me. I'm just 1 day old so just over 6 pounds heavy! Hello Matthew!

See my tiny feet? Mommy and Daddy think I have very long toes. Hmmm. What's my future going to be like? Figure skater? Ballerina? First line defense woman for the Leafs??!!

I'm just 2 days old now and just finished eating. Daddy and Mommy have already changed my diapers 10x last night and I'm just chilling...very tired eating, you know?

See you around!!
