The Online Hospital Visit


We are blessed to have many friends around the world and we know that some of you would have loved to visit us in the hospital when our baby is born. However, we have yet to have access to a star trek transporter technology so we would have to do things the old fashion way and provide an online visit when the baby is born. This is how we hope it will work - when the baby is born, we will send out an email invitation to all those who would like to visit the baby and you can visit the baby online through your computer while we are still in the hospital. As we have no idea what day the baby will be born, we can only set the time at:
8:30am : Central Time - CST
2:30pm : London Time
9:30pm : Malaysia & Singapore Time
11:30pm : Melbourne & Sydney Time (Sorry, but someone had to get the late shift)

Please indicate which days you can make it for the online hospital visit, so that we know who to invite to the online visit. Please fill up this online form :

When the baby is born, we will email all those who have indicated they are available for an online hospital visit and you will receive an email with the invitation. It will be a live video conference where we will have the baby present and will be able to talk to you.

We will also be posting updates on facebook when Sarah goes into labor. To receive updates, please make sure you are a friend of Sarah on facebook.

  2. You both really set the standard of tech-savvy parents to a whole different level and experience all together. At least I know you both are having "fun"

  3. The challenge is to be not only high tech but to be high touch. So, as we become more high tech, we are also becoming more relational -- where our family and friends can participate and be part of our life from anywhere in the world. It's a new way for us to "Do Life".
