   Welcome Mark Floyd!
   What a beautiful baby boy – congratulations to all!

   Congrats to you too!

   So soon, I thought we still had 3 weeks to go!

   Mark somehow sounds like a very Canadian name 🙂

      I was exactly 38 weeks pregnant, so not really early per se but yeah, my due date was at the end of October!

      I know, he does look like Feng! Asian hair and eyes, I find. I love the mix even though I’m very subjective!

       Thank you! I’ll be sure to follow some of your tips on raising bilingual babies and kids, although we will do French and English (and Mandarin?) instead of Spanish for now!

    Congrats!!! That’s so exciting! You were 4 wks earlier than me, and I was induced and it was a HARD labor.. I guess your beautiful little boy really wanted out! So Exciting! We were on vacation but I can’t believe you posted so fast too.

    1. Zhu October 21, 2012 at 2:13 pm

       Oh yeah, he came out fast! Each woman is different I guess, and so is each labour story.
