Milk… it does a body good
Ari is a living proof. We went in for his 1-month checkup today, and he’s now 10lb 3oz, 22 1/4 inch, with a 37.5cm head! Wow. I thought he’d have been around 9lb+, but dang, 10lb?! I’m pleasantly surprised that my breastmilk can do that. haha. I’m a proud mama!

Week 2
Another week quickly went by, and Ari is now 16 days old. My mom and sister came to stay with us this week, providing lots of help around the house and of course to me and Ari. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! :DÂÂ

Week 1
Finally I got the chance to turn on my computer and blog. It’s been an all-consuming week for me, with frequent feeding, diaper changing, holding and soothing the baby, taking care of myself… It felt as if I was cut off from the rest of the world, but I didn’t mind a bit. There’s so [...]
