Triplets!

Visited my aunt today, who delivered three beautiful baby boys last month. The triplets are already one month old! It's amazing, really. For someone her size and height (she's shorter and smaller than me), she went through her pregnancy really well. Usually for triplets, the mother has to be put under constant observation in the hospital when she reaches 6-7 months or so. But for her, she was at home all the way until the delivery date. Cesarean section, of course. It was way too dangerous, and not to mention uncomfortable for her to carry the babies to full term. Fortunately all of them were born healthy. The moment the surgeon touched the amniotic sac with his finger, it ruptured! Talk about close calls. And another amazing thing was the speed that the C-Section was done. My aunt was wheeled in to the operating theatre a little after 10.30 a.m. At 10.56 a.m., Baby No.1 came out. 10.57 a.m. the next one, and 10.58 the last one. One baby a minute. What do they do, just pull them out? (apparently so...-_-") Though being premature, they had to be put under observation in the hospital for a couple of weeks. One of them even had to be admitted to ICU.

Thank goodness they're all fine and happily gaining weight now. :) They're sooooo cute!

And this is the youngest, Kai Li (pink blanket).
