Announcing – Caleb Sng!

27Apr06

Caleb Sng was born on 26 April, 2006 at 10:34am at Gleneagles Hospital, Singapore. He arrived after putting dear mom through contractions all of 25 April. He was in a big hurry to finally get out and say hello to the world within 2.5 hrs of arriving at the hospital.

Weight: 3.24kg
Length: 49.5cm
Head Circumference: 33cm

For those visiting, please go to Room 648 (6th Level).

This makes Caleb the 2nd heaviest of the babies (after Daniel), but the longest. We’re still having trouble trying to figure out who he looks like. He was definitely in a hurry. We thought Hannah’s rushing out 9 days ahead of time was bad, Caleb is about 15 days early. He was scheduled to arrive on 10 May and we were anticipating that he would come a few days early but not 2 entire weeks early!

At least Hannah had a good excuse (29 Sept 2001, just 18 days after Sept 11), but this boy is in a big hurry to go places. Anyway, no worries – he’s of a good weight and size and is doing fine and I shudder to think of how big and heavy he’ll be if he arrived 2 weeks later as scheduled…..

Here’s the whole family together:

Other Observations about Caleb
Seems to have a smaller head compared to Amy and Daniel. All these kids seem to have the same kind of small mouth and lovely lips. He seems to be a quiet baby. Amy was probably the loudest at the hospital while Hannah didn’t exercise her lungs and powerful wailing until she was a few months old.

Daniel when he was born seemed very alert, with eyes open and scanning the environment. Caleb seems to be more of a sleeper and I have yet to see him open his eyes at all. He did startle inside the ward’s nursery and so we know he can hear just fine.

But who am I to complain? Mom tells me that I didn’t open one of my eyes until the 3rd day.
