Video : Arianne and Daddy having a shower together
Today is a very special day for me. Not only its my birthday but also a very special year where we are all greeted with the arrival of Baby Arianne, a new member to our ever growing foo's family. I had been thinking all week what to do to kickstart this special day and you will see in a while what i had came up with.
The video was shot live by my wife in our bathroom with no editing. Its a raw cut and dont even try to guess, i m not in total nude except for Baby Arianne who is. I had tried to convince my son, Brandon earlier to join us but he was too shy to participate.
You will findout later in the clip that we both have so much fun dipping and I must say Arianne had most of the fun as it must had reminded her the environment she had for 9 months in her mom's womb. She was so relax in the water and practically floating most of the time, thats why experts say babies are natural swimmers.
It will be a day that we both will remember for life and best of all its captured on video. Also check out the skin contrast between Arianne and myself, i didnt realise that i m even fairer than her.

Arianne 1st Day Out
Today is Arianne's first day out since returning home from the hospital. I know i m not supposed to take her out as she is still within the 1 month confinement period but Fionne is getting rather bored and want to go out for a walk.I m not too sure whether Arianne had a good time as she was practically crying most of the time. I m not sure whether she wants milk and she is not used to the new environment at the Grand Gateway Mall in Xu Jia Hui. We stayed on for another half and hour and left for home.
I must say that the biggest joy was holding Arianne and feeling close to her. I guess this is what parenthood is all about and i m getting another shot at it again and hope to do much better this time.

Day 8 : Fionne's Mom (Grandma) and Arianne
My mom in law arrived yesterday evening bringing in 2 full bags of products from malaysia for both Fionne and Arianne. It almost weighed about 40 kg and its amazing that she carried it all the way from Kuala Lumpur to Shanghai via Hangzhou by herself.
She will be staying with us for 1 month providing Fionne and Arianne the love and care they so needed thus relieving me to go back to work and get up to speed again.

Day 5 : Checking Out
It felt like yesterday when we 1st checked into the hospital and today we will be checking out after Arianne takes her bath. Arianne came into the hospital dependent on her mom and when she leaves the hospital today, she will be on her own, completely independent and have her own unique identity too (her full name is Arianne Foo Xin Qing). Guess we had once again fulfilled out duty as human and parents to procreate but the challenges wont be stopping here as this is only the beginning.
The future ahead for us and Arianne lies unknown but I m sure its going to be an interesting and exciting one with lots of ups and downs. Its going to be a lifetime experience to see her grow up like my son, Brandon and daughter, Luvelle. They make a better person of us and give us more reason to persevere and work harder to have a happy and meaningful life. There is meaning in our life when there is happiness at home, this is exactly what Robert Foo, my dad had always told me and I m certain Arianne will bring the extra joy and meaning to our lives.
As for my wife, Fionne will have to go through next phase of agony, the 1st being conceiving and delivering Arianne. If she thought that was the most painful phase, she is in for a surprise, lets not tell her too much and be fair to her for she has been great and wonderful in bringing Arianne into this world. Beside Arianne who is the main cast, Fionne deserves much credit for her supporting role without which Arianne won't be with us today and of course i take some credit too for playing the so called "30 minutes Superman" role and bringing you this live coverage here.
By the way, this is not the end of the blog as I had mentioned before, its only the beginning. Please keep coming back for more updates on Arianne.
