The time is 6:28 pm on October 22, 2007. There is an ominous glow outside marking the end of a pleasant day in the city of Beijing. As the sun descends in the sky, a daughter rises out of her mother's womb. Arriving a month early, she is ready to face all the challenges of the world before her, armed with the only thing given to her so far, her name, Leyla. Her response to this is a defiant cry in to the night air.

Qualifying for the super super super mini straw weight division, she seems unperturbed. Her first accomplishment, of what I am sure will be a long list of great accomplishments, is acing her apgar score. However, she may be resting on her laurels. After performing so well, she seems to be bored with what she perceives as an unchallenging world and spends most of her time lying around sleeping.

The proud mother is resting up, regaining her strength. She was going for the record of the easiest pregnancy in the modern era. Then in the 8th month, easy dissolved to hard and that was enough of that. The baby had to come out and out it came, falling two signs short of a Sagittarius. Even the best laid plans go astray. Still, she is a year of the red pig baby.

Here is where you can find some pictures.
