More photos of Fiona at her grandparents' house... Vivian's Mum has been a great help to us, cooking for Vivian, doing laundry, bathing the babv, and so on. We are looking forward to getting back to our own house, but we really appreciate all the help provided here.
Fiona is becoming more and more alert and aware, but she still sleeps most of the time!
Here we are at Vivian's parents' house. It's a Chinese tradition for the mother to spend the first month of the baby's life under house arrest! Actually they say it is for the mother to regain her vitality, and also to have better health later in life. Vivian has been eating a lot of special nutritious Chinese food, and spending a lot of time lying down. Fiona is becoming cuter as the days go by.
Some people have been asking for more details about Fiona: She was born at 11:55 am on Thursday, November 3rd. She weighed 3190 grams at birth, and was 47 cm long. After a long and unproductive labor (over 30 hours), the doctor gave Vivian a c-section delivery.
Vivian checked out of the hospital on Monday November 7. She is now doing her "sitting month" to recover.
Here she is -- Fiona Tabitha Morgan was finally born on November 3rd, 2005.
Hallelujah! :-)
Fiona's room is finally ready! I've spent months sewing the sheets, curtains, chair cover, etc. The room needs a lot of space for all those baby stuffs. Now it is finished. Do you like it?
我們女兒的房間終於準備好了！從暑假開始就一直在準備她的房間，小床、尿布更換桌、椅子、抽屜櫃...，也花了不知多少個小時縫製窗簾、床罩、圍欄、椅套...。洗衣機也洗了好幾槽所有親戚朋友給的小衣小帽。現在終於完成了，就等著她的到來。 
This baby shower was really something unusual for me. We don't do this in Taiwan at all. I really appreciate how Rachel and other friends made this happen for me and Fiona. Thanks all of you who came!
Fiona has been moving a lot lately. She probably can't wait to come out and see her gifts!
以前只有在西方電視電影裡看過這名堂─baby shower，中文應該可以翻譯成「嬰兒祝福會」(就是一群朋友們，為準媽媽和未出生的baby帶來禮物和祝福而聚在一起的聚會)，這回換成自己是主角，真有點不習慣和一些難以置信。 真的很感謝這群朋友們所做的一切。相信Fiona在肚子裡就已經可以感受到這麼多阿姨們的關愛！
Another hiking adventure... the weather was a bit rainy, but I guess it was a blessing because it might have been too hot otherwise. Lots of exciting terrain on the trail, plus some historical curiousities. This area was once a gold mining town, and many relics from the Japanese colonial era still remain. Kirt, Michael and Wei Guo made the day more fun :-)
Fiona目前在我的肚子裡約36週。我當然沒有出現在照片裡。這是一群爸爸們暫時擺脫“家累”的茶壺山健行之旅。Gareth趁著尚未有孩子之前，把握時間，不斷地安排活動。深怕一但Fiona出來後就哪兒都去不了，失去自由。有這麼嚴重嗎？
And last but not least: A cool little slideshow of the best pics from the trip!
