Ode to Mr. Choy*


Now that Ben has settled in the intermediate nursery (where most babies are just getting bigger) we have had a chance to meet his neighbor, Mr. Choy. All babies in the nursery are tagged as such "Halton, Baby Boy." You have to make a note on their card if you want anyone to know their first names. I suppose some parents have trouble picking a name, especially if their baby came unexpectedly early. This is the case with Mr. Choy. Therefore the nurse yesterday kept referring to him as Mr. Choy. And let me tell you how incredibly funny it is to look over at a 5 lb baby with a head of black hair and hear the nurse say "Oh Mr. Choy, do you have a dirty diaper?" Today Mr. Choy took the cake when he blew a major poop out all over the nurse, his clothes and his bed. He was the talk of the room! More on Mr. Choy later.

*name changed to protect nursery anonymity. His real name is Mr. Shum.

He's looking so great! I'm on pins and needles every day waiting for a report. I'll glad that your hospital experience is bringing you some laughs (ie Mr. Choy)...

love you all!
