On a different note, my high-school buddy Gary called last night, from Hong Kong, to find out if my baby is born yet. For those who remember, I mentioned earlier that he is also expecting his second child, with the same Due-Date as ours. And that second baby has just arrived, early, last week. Baby Julie Suen was born on October 16, 2007. Both Mom and Baby are healthy! Congratulations to the Suen family! Actually, I should also mention that Gary's younger brother, Dr. Richard Suen, also gave birth to a baby boy in Riverside, California. Again, both Mom and Baby are healthy as well. Congratulations to you too!
Gary asked if I still don't know the gender of the baby. I told him "of course!" He told me that his guess is a 'boy.' And this is his reasoning...
I asked our Doctor, after our first child (a girl), on how I can 'create' a boy next time? He asked if I smoke. I said 'yes.' The Doctor told me to quit smoking and my chance of having a boy will increase. The Doctor said tobacco smoking affects the y-chromosome of the gene, which means that it will increase the chance of giving birth to a baby girl.That's totally something new to me! I guess they should start adding this warning/advice onto the cigarette packaging label. If this is really scientifically proven, I'm sure the smoking population will greatly reduced in China!
Just a trivia to my loyal Readers... October 16 not only is Baby Julie Suen's birthdate, does anyone remember the significance of October 16?

Hmmm...my Y chromo must be super strong because I smoke but still have two boys!
No, the Chinese should smoke more so they can have more girls, as boys are surplus over there right now...just kidding!
@ Jimmy:
Ha Ha Ha! That's exactly what Amy commented after she read my post!
