Emmanuel has joined us

Some people find their own way to enter life in a remarkable manner. Emmanuel certainly tried his best to make his arrival amazingly outstanding.
First he chose to land here on the same date as his big brother's birthday, Noam's. How often is that happening? No so much, it appears, we were told by his pediatrician.
Even better, Emmanuel jumped into life on the evening of the Yom Kippur. In the Jewish tradition, as it is the holiest day of the year, it is quite a special gift to be born on such date. So Emmanuel managed well this one too...
And to add to his early achievements, Emmanuel was born with only the help of his dad and a nurse, as the doctors never made it on time to the delivery room (even though I was in labour for a really really long time!!)

Bravo Emmanuel!!

Cover Girl

Earlier some found me in a Beijing expat magazine, Beijing Kids, showing off my yoga skills.
In the same vein, once they learned I was pregnant, BK asked me to be their cover girl. I guess this is my closest call to fame...

So I am now officially the September girl! And for those wondering, I am assuming that I am the "out" of the "ins and outs of giving birth in Beijing" as this shot was taken a few days before headed out to DC to hatch baby number 2.
