Welcome to the world!
Love Mummy, Daddy and Leandra
2001

On 12 October 2001, the lives of Jane and Ben Ang of Singapore were changed forever. They received a very special gift...a little new baby boy.

Jane and Ben had chosen the name Luke Ang for their little new bundle of joy.

It seemed to Jane that Luke might never be born. Yet he finally arrived at Mount Alvernia Hospital at exactly 8.43pm.

Jane was filled with joy when she heard Dr. Lim Yuin Wen say, "Congratulations, you have a handsome little boy."

Wrapped snugly in a soft, warm blanket, Luke was handed to Jane, who held her little miracle for the first time. She thought that Luke was such a beautiful baby and that he was so cuddly and small.

Luke's birth was a brand new beginning for his mommy and daddy. Luke will get all of the love and care he needs from his new family, and he will bring lots of joy and happiness to their lives.

As soon as Luke was born, he was placed on the scales.


His weight was

3.3kg,

and he was

53cm long.

Friends and family were anxiously awaiting Luke's birth. When they heard the good news, they showered him with many gifts. Some were clothes, some were blankets to keep him nice and warm, some were bottles, and some were diapers, of course.

All of the nurses thought that Luke was the cutest little boy they had ever seen, and they enjoyed taking care of him. Even the doctors were amazed at this little new arrival into the world.

After Luke came home from the hospital, he soon settled into his daily routines.

Jane was very excited to give Luke his first bath. Afterwards, she gently covered him with powder, and dressed him in tiny, warm baby clothes.

Jane thought about all of the babies who are born all around the world and realized how all parents must feel...that their baby is the most beautiful of all. And they are right.

Many people came to visit Luke. Ah Ma, Gong Gong, Grandma and Grandpa had been eagerly waiting for Luke to be born. When they saw Luke, they thought he was the most precious little person ever, and that his skin was very soft and smooth.

Every day, Jane and Ben think of how blessed they are that Luke has become a part of their lives, and how full their lives will be in the years ahead. There will be laughter and joy, boo-boos and tears, and really big hugs to chase away the fears.

Mommy and Daddy are looking forward to Luke's first smile, the first time he crawls, his first steps, the first time he feeds himself, and even that all-important potty training time.

Often, on bright sunny days, Mommy sits outside and holds and cuddles Luke. She enjoys rocking him and singing to him. As she looks at Luke, her heart is full of love for this special little gift she has received.

Daddy enjoys helping Mommy take care of Luke. Sometimes he reads to him, sometimes he feeds him, and sometimes he even helps give Luke his bath. These are very special times for Daddy and Luke.

While Jane and Ben were waiting for Luke to be born, they prepared a room especially for him. In this room, they placed a cozy, warm bed for Luke to sleep in. They also placed a big rocking chair there so they can hold and rock him, or just sit and look at him.

Sometimes, Mommy and Daddy take Luke for long walks. Luke just smiles, coos, and makes cute little faces all along the way. As they walk, Mommy and Daddy talk about all of the plans they have for Luke's future and all of the exciting things they will do together as a family. They will make memories that will last forever.
