Mission Accomplished! See ya, Halloween!

It's 11:30pm on a Halloween night! I've made it! We've made it! The Little Piggy has made it! Chris has made it too! I am confident to say that... we have a winner! Our Little Piggy is going to be born on or after November 1, 2007! And the Little Piggy's first best friend turns out to be his/her own Uncle Chris! You guys have no idea how many times Chris has called me today. And every time when I fail to pick up the cell phone, he would immediately call my house.

Chris: "Why didn't you pick up the phone? I IM-ed you and didn't respond! All I could think of is that you guys are heading to the hospital! You need to pick up your phone when I call!"

Me: "You know what? If you don't stop bugging me, I'm NOT going to collect all the money for you!"

Anyway, congratulations to my brother! Your winnings will pay-out to you over 20 annual payments!

Now, back to the person of the moment... my Wife! According to her, she experienced a few obvious contractions today. 2 of those happened between 1pm and 2pm. The third one came at around 8pm. And there was another one that struck at 10:07pm. I don't know what this means. All I can say is... the Little Piggy is on his/her way! I just don't know when!

Last but not least, I was looking for a picture of Chris and I to post on this blog, just to commemorate the winner of the Guess the Due Date Contest. But I came across a picture that is even better!

There is one person who didn't participate this Due Date Contest. But I'm sure that if he is around, he would be the first to place his bet, and the first to call everyday to find out how Amy is doing. I'm also sure that he will be the first to hold this Little Piggy in his arm, and to give this Piggy a big kiss. That person is Piggy's Grandfather, my Dad! I wish that he would be around to share this joyful moment with the family. I wish that he would be around to see his first Grandchild. I wish that he would be around, just to laugh at me while watching me changing Piggy's diapers! Or to be around trying to convince Piggy that Manchester United is the team to support, and not Liverpool. I wish that he could be around, so that I can introduce his Grandchild to him.

But I have faith that he will be there to witness every moment of it! I know he will be around. (Well, maybe not when the Piggy is crying!)

Dear Dad, if you happen to be reading this post from far far away, I want you to know that you will a Grandfather very very soon! Congratulations!
