Heading into the hospital the day before my c-section
Clara Joy Torgerson was born on 10/10 here in Taiwan (which is Taiwan's birthday) in the year of the dragon which is a REALLY big deal! Everyone kept reminding us of how amazing and lucky we are to have a child born on this day!
In fact, it was such a cool thing the China Post decided to stop by and interview the American family who had a baby in Taiwan on 10/10 in the year of the dragon! They even took a picture (probably not the most flattering picture of me as it was 6 hours after my c-section).
Clara weighed 7lbs 2 oz and was 19.5 inches tall (these are conversions from the actual measurements they took here in grams and centimeters respectively). Clara was by far the most squawky at birth, but I think Ellie especially and even Siri were a little more abnormally quiet. 
Proud sisters
Proud grandparents
And a proud dad!
And against the rules here at this Taiwan hospital Clara is using a binky
That baby girl is looking at ME!

So happy for you guys and very proud. We can't wait to meet her. Love the foot shot especially!
She is just breathtakingly adorable. None of that awkward newborn old-manliness.
Also, I think it is SO RIDICULOUSLY COOL that the China Post interviewed you!
What a special baby!
Love it!!! Can't wait to meet your newest beautiful girl. What a special day, indeed.
