Dear Fans of AB,

Ready for AB's Arrival!

Thanks for all the love you have shown to me as Asian Baby’s new Mama.  Except for the 20 or so people that unfanned the I Like Steven Ho page, I’ve been overwhelmed with the love.  I realize that I now am just the caretaker but this baby still belongs to Team Conan. 

So while AB is traveling, here’s a little bit about me. I hope you’ll agree he is going to a good home.

I love wacky and tacky things, Conan O’Brien and Social Media. I’ve been posting weird stuff online since 1997 so I guess it totally makes sense that my name got picked from fans on a Facebook page and then posted on a video on YouTube.  If I were on the Lost island, my storyline would be one of fate.

I’m pretty amazed and delighted that my name got picked.  I’ve had a lot of cool stuff happen to me, but this really ranks pretty highly, and I know the adventure has just begun.

I’m 37 years old and childless.  I’ve thought about having a child one day, but have been way to busy running my business to have a child.  As a teenage, I missed the Home Ec course that required students to carry around a flour sack baby. I’m not exactly sure what to DO with a baby, so now is my chance to learn.  I have a highly indestructible baby and my brain is buzzing with all the places I can take him.  This way, if I ever have a real one, I discover bad ideas, safely. 

Is it OK to strap  a baby onto my brother’s motorcycle for a day in the country?  I can find out with AB because if he’s survived indoor fireworks, he’s tough!  I have made a mental note NOT to put him in the dishwasher.  Thanks for the heads up! Even though I would have used the top rack, I’ll figure out another way to clean him off. Please share any other baby-no-nos in the comments!

I’ve spent the last day building a way for AB to keep in touch with everyone so I’ve setup Facebook, Twitter & YouTube and this blog. I’ve also informed the majority of my family and they are EXTREMELY excited.

My Mom is very excited about her first grandchild.  After realizing the annoucement video wasn’t some trick that I inserted my name into, she got to work preparing for his arrival. I visited her house and found the “It’s a Boy!” balloon for AB.  She was so excited that she forgot to buy a balloon for my Great Aunt.  She turned 90 today and we had a party. She was watching the video on my iPhone while I explained he was coming.  My cousins are concerned about the lack of air holes in the box, and can’t wait to meet AB at the next family gathering.  My 93-year-old grandmother in crocheting a hat for his little bald head and is telling her friends at her retirement community.  I even have a Baby Daddy picked out, as I have a feeling this little guy is going to need some extra supervision. 

I will need help with as many Godparents as I can get… I’ll post an update about it tomorrow!

Love,
Virtuallinda the AB Mama

PS- Thank you Steven, Mike, Suzanne and Aaron for my new fake child and Coco stuff!!
