Brandon is over 2 weeks and 5 days old at this point. I introduced him to his new toy. It was his first time playing on the “Tummy Time” mat & cushion. I was surprised he was able to lift his head at this stage. It was the cutest thing ever when I put him on his tummy and decided to take a picture. I haven’t attached any toys that came with it as he hasn’t learned to grab things yet. So more tummy time will develop his neck muscles and prevent flat head.

Welcome Brandon to our World
My due date was September 29th, 2008, but something happened on the friday morning of September 26th. My water broke and I knew I was in labor. I could feel small contractions and I had to call my doctor so she could see me right away on how far along I was. My husband called in work to take his day off so he could be with me.
Brandon Jordan Yuen was born September 26, 2008. My husband and I were thrilled about being first time parents. I couldn't believe I am a mom now. It was the best thing ever when Brandon came into our world. Wow, I could not believe the pain I went through. I did not take any pain medication at all during labour as it was my choice to begin with. I only inhaled laughing gas they provided and that stuff just makes you dizzy. I did not yell out at all. I was just uncomfortable to even scream out how painful I was. The nurses told me what a trooper I was.
Details about him:

Photos from Day 2 (2-days old)
Hubby Patric's parents came visit us in the morning at the hospital and brought us some food. My family (mom, dad, sis, and Patrick Louie) came to visit us also in the afternoon.
Photos from Day 3 (3-days old , still at the hospital)
Baby had to be treated under phototherapy since he had some slight jaundice. Other than that, he was perfectly healthy.
October 2nd was the day we finally get to go home from the hospital. We waited and waited for the test results on his bilirubin. The doctors did a few blood tests taken from Brandon's heal a few times. Poor little guy.
It has been an entire week at the hospital and it was pretty boring for a while after we were moved from the bigger room to a crammed up room. It was nice that we got the "Preferred Accommodation" that was covered under Patric's company plan. We didn't really get much sleep as we were both uncomfortable.
Here is Brandon finally home in his comfortable crib:
