early baby

the girls went down to visit Melissa and the baby. Melissa delivered a few weeks earlier than expected on 13 Jan. both mother and baby was fine. Baby Karl Christen (2.1kg) apparently want to be born in the Year of the Dog (Chinese zodiac) rather than a Piggy (after Chinese New Year, his original delivery date).
Robina with Baby Karl. I prepared stewed pork trotters in vinegar and ginger(a traditional Chinese confinement dish) for the new mother. While testing the recipe, Robina and I tried this warm delicious dish , especially the ginger flavoured gravy, which went so well with rice on a cold winter night. btw, Melissa commented the trotters were nice too!
