Welcome, my little baby!

date of birth: Aug. 19, 2011 (natural birth)
height / weight: 48cm / 3278g
food: breast milk + S-26

After coming back from Carrefour at about 20:00, I felt labor pains at regular intervals. We arrived at the hospital at 21:00 and I was 4 cm dilated. Soon my little one came out at 22:43. I couldn't believe the labor process was that quick! Thank you for being a support to me in labor, honey!

After I endured the pain to unclog my blocked milk ducts, it's exciting it took me 50 minutes to get 75c.c. last morning and almost 100c.c. this morning (1 week after labor) and my baby ate 135c.c. within an hour for lunch today! His umbilical cord fell off last morning.

My 2 week old ate 720c.c. today, including breast milk 490c.c. and some formula, and he pooed 8 times! Didn't he eat too much?

My breasts start to drip when I look at my baby or hold him in my arms.

I'm grateful to have my dad help me take care of my sons. Being a full-time mother is a wonderful job! My dad and I started to take my sons to go around, and we're planning a train trip to I-Lan. So excited!

My angel baby doesn't need to fall asleep in my arms, and he can sleep through the night without eating. My 2 year 2 months old can follow a daily schedule. It proves worthwhile to be a full-time mother.

My dad has gone on a trip to 海南島 with my mom since Dec.19. I take care of my terrible 2 year old and 4 month old (has been drinking less milk than usual) by myself in the daytime. What a hard work!

I'm a little sad that I don't have enough breast milk. Today is the last day I collected my breast milk for my baby. On the other hand, it means I'll have more free time!

My 2nd son's appearance is a copy of his brother, but he's been shorter since he's born. However, he's nimbler. He can turn his body over at 5.5 months and move backward at 6 months, and likes to play on his tummy, sit and stand up with support.

I enjoy being a frugal homemaker. Being with my adorable kids is wonderful! Besides, it's awesome I can go around and enjoy discounts and special offers of the department stores, restaurants, and hotels during weekdays without crowds. I look forward to taking my son to a children's play this Sat., go for afternoon tea at 國賓 Hotel April 17 and start Yamaha music class next month. I don't want to go back to work after this summer. Two more years' leave would be better, but I don't want to retire late. sigh~

April 17

My baby got 2 teeth at 7 months and he can crawl and stand up with support at 7.5 months.

Thank my college classmate 怡貞 gave my baby her breast milk almost 1900c.c.. What a blessing!

My mind is in conflict. I hope my baby grows fast and tall. But sometimes I wish he’d kept tiny and little because he looks so cute and would be beside me forever this way. Am I Crazy?

My little one has 4 teeth and can walk a few steps at 11 months, 2 months earlier than his brother.
