Kara's first 2 week

23.01 - 03.02 Your grandparents came to visit you, arriving on the first day of CNY. You and mommy were still in the maternity hotel so daddy went to bring them back. The timing was great because you were checked by the paedetrician for heart murmur and were cleared to go back the same day after spending 5 days 4 nights there. We were afraid you would inherit mommy's problem so we prayed much against it to break any generational curse, and after the ultrasound the doctor says the it's normal because your heart and blood vessels are still developing so it's common to hear some sounds during check-ups. We didn't celebrate CNY in a special way but spent the 2 weeks just being together as a family, having Chinese food all the time, and managed to slot in some CNY cookies, nian-gao and kerepok ikan. Oh yeah you also got your first ang-pow as well! Grandpa and grandma were so happy to be with you and see you and missed you so much when they were supposed to leave for Malaysia, so we took lots of pictures of them with you. Unfortunately the bad weather in Amsterdam closed the airport and they had to take an excruciatingly long journey back to Malaysia. Had we knew earlier, we could have made alternative arrangements that would have allowed them to stay with you longer rather that waste their time at the airports.
