The best gift Mon & I got from our 2005 Christmas was learning that i was pregnant. Mixed emotions dawned on me. . . excitement, worry, fear. . . is it a boy or a girl? can we make it? can we manage? inexperienced but will we learn fast? and so on and so forth . . .

We waited for a long 38 weeks. It wasn't easy because I had a risky pregnancy.  I was often at the verge of a miscarriage due to bleeding.  I had to quit my job and was on bed rest most parts of my pregnancy.

Finally, the day came, Alexia Kyra was born 08.08.2006.  Hearing her first cry was the first moment we can now be called a family.  No words can express how Mon & I felt, our first child was born.

And now, we're proud and happy parents to our little Alex.
