My son



His name is Terran Wai Chow. He was born on July 9, 2005. At birth, he was 6.5 pounds and 18.75 inches. He is very healthy. He eats a lot, pees a lot, and shits a lot. He sleeps well during the day, and not so well at night....

When we mass emailed our family and friends and regarding Terran's arrival, we got many responses back indicating same birthday as his. They include:
Odysseus - Patrick's advisor's son who turned 4 that day.

Tuktun - Joy's husband. Joy's my architecture buddy from Berkeley and they now live in Thailand. At first, Joy and I tried to keep in touch via snail mail, just because neither of us get any personal snail mails these days. But for obvious modern reasons, our communication is now via email. It seems to make more sense.

Li Qiao - My friend and roommate from Berkeley. She lives in Alhambra and we see her at least once a week. She remains one of my closer friends from Berkeley.

Li Wei - Li Qiao's little brother.

Mei Xiang's cub - little panda bear was born in D.C. on July 9. According to website, cubs are born at 3 to 5 oz. and the caretakers were not absolutely sure that Mei Xiang was pregnant until she actually gave birth. Mom stayed with the cub day and night until she finally left for a break on the 5th day to get herself some water.

Happy Birthday to all who share that special day!

Thank you! I am feeling pretty much back to normal. I nap a lot so that I don't get too tired. I am getting help to do housework, so it's been good. Will let you know when we get back into full swing and plan any celebration.
