Meeilei and I are expecting our first grand-kid.

This is a very happy news that came from our son, Leo. He told us that he and his wife, Peggy, are expecting their first child on October, 2009.

Here is the story from Leo.

Peggy and I have some news. We are expecting the next Cheneration! Peggy is pregnant with a due date of October 2nd. We are excited and nervous at the same time, but we thank God that so far the baby's health looks good: the blood test and ultrasound look normal. I've been taking video at the hospitals (when they give me permission to) and plan to make this whole process an epic documentary.Meanwhile: Peggy has been wanting to leave her job and enter the early education field. This meant that I would probably have to go to work again as a teacher, as my videography business only keeps me busy some of the time (and we need insurance somehow). I've been open to the idea of teaching again, but found that I was delinquent in some credits to get my teaching certificate (required in public schools). Even though I taught for 3 years in the teaching fellows program, that was only with a temporary certificate, and I still need...say 6 credits of history and 6 credits of science to get the real thing. Ugh. That means lots of studying in order to teach again. On top of that, there was a threat to the NYC school system due to the economy where newer teachers were likely to be cut. That made me worry about getting hired since I only have 3 years experience.

So Peggy goes in for an interview at this private school that goes from Pre-K to 8th Grade. She's worked with one of their board members at her current job, and the board member highly recommended her to this school. So they interviewed her even though they didn't have a job opening for her. She asked some questions about the school, comparing it to the middle school that I worked at. She pointed out that the parents in this school are a lot more involved than the parents at the school I worked at.I will reenact this encounter from the way it was told to me"Your husband was a teacher? What did he teach?" said the school director."7th and 8th grade math," said Peggy"Really.""Yeah, he has a masters in math education.""Really. Is he looking to teach again?""As a matter of fact, he is. He took a few years off to pursue videography, but he's looking to go back into teaching again.""Make sure he sends me his resume."So Peggy tells me to work on my resume. I do. I send it in. They like it. They get me an interview for a Tuesday. I go in on Tuesday. They like me and want to schedule a demonstration lesson.That was Tuesday. On Friday, Peggy finds the little plus sign on the pregnancy stick. BAM. We be pregnant.So things went on and I was offered the job. I took it. And that's where we are now. Now Peggy can quit her job in the fall, take her sick days until December (40 sick days...isn't that crazy?), and stay home with the baby while I work as a teacher for a job that sort of was just handed to me. We're very blessed with how things are working out.I am currently brainstorming names for the baby. We don't know the sex yet, but that doesn't stop me. Peggy is responding to some of my suggestions with a smile and a shake of the head. But some of the names are growing on her! I must persist. =)We will keep you all in the loop.
