Woohoo for you **ChinaClan**! Little Serena surely made a dramatic entrance into this world! Perhaps her first onesie should say “drama queen”~ 🙂 ---

So you’ve decided _against_ naming one of the Apgar? Audrey and Apgar. Doesn’t sound so bad… Congratulations!!! ---

Congratulations! Just keep telling yourself it only gets easier from here. It’ll be a lie, but it’s a reassuring lie! (And well-intentioned advice from an outsider: if your family celebrates Christmas, then decide right now to celebrate the twins’ birthday in June.) ---

Saw Serena this Christmas afternoon. She’s doing great! Turned her head to look at me when I started talking. She’s not having a great first christmas what with a tube in her stomach for feeding (5 cc formula every 2 hours) and tubes in her nose to kep lungs inflated with oxygen. It will be fantastic when we finally get to hold her. she’s still isolated and tiny in the incubator. Tomorrow hopefully we’ll have some mother’s milk to take over. Apgar is a standard test for newborns. 10 is a perfect score. I’d hate to see what a 1 looks like as Serena was only a two after the first minute. ☹ Thanks everyone for the best wishes. ---

What a wonderful present for you and mrs China Guy. Congratulations! Glad Serena’s doing OK now. And what lovely names! 🙂 Are you giving them Chinese names too? ---

What beautiful names. Especially Serena. Do you mind sharing their Chinese middle names with us? Congratulations to you and your wife, **ChinaGuy**. I’m happy for you. ---

> [@Hunter Hawk](#): > > And remember: Don’t wrap their birthday presents in Christmas paper. As a person whose birthday is close to Christmas, on New Year’s Eve, let me second this sentiment. My family never did, but I knew a couple other kids whose birthday was indistinguishable from Christmas. I’m so happy to hear that Serena is responding so well now! ---

Holy wow! What a ride. I’m happy that everyone is OK, especially little Apgar. Er, I mean Serena. (She’ll always be Apgar to me. 😃 ) Congratulations to all of you!
