Dr. Farris Fahmy

Last Saturday Mom and Dad brought me to see Dr. Fahmy in his office at 161 Ft. Washington Ave., New York, NY 10032. He is Mom's Ob-Gyn doctor and was the one who helped deliver me.

It was interesting being in the room where Mom has been to so many time over the past year for prenatal check up. Dad pointed to the stethoscope and told me about the exciting moment back in July last year when they first heard my heart beats in this room, soon after they came back from a vacation in Dominican Republic. Dad said that Mom had a good laugh when she first heard my heart beats as they were very fast and she found it amusing. She only knew by then that fetal heart beats are much faster than those in an adult. 10 times faster, I think...

After a while, Dr. Fahmy walked into the room and he was so happy to see me. Finally, here is the little one who gave him a headbutt from inside the uterus when he was checking Mom's labor progress. Dr. Fahmy then joked and said I was like Zidane :-) He told Mom and Dad he was not surprised at all that I've become such a big boy (I'm currently at 90th percentile of babies my age in both weight and height, as measured in my 2-month well baby visit recently) since I was very strong and healthy the whole time I was inside Mom's tummy.

I felt so good when he held me against his chest. Isn't it cool being held by the very person who delivered you to the world?
