Meet Lucas Edward

Our son is finally here! I have to admit the recovery from my c-section is going better than when I had Maddie. I am more mobile this time compared to before. Am sure my husband is glad because this time he does not have to carry/accompany me to the bathroom. Am not sure if it's because my body knows that am not going to get much help from Cox at the hospital since someone has to stay with Maddie. But my poor mom had to stay with me at the hospital to help with Lucas. Thanks MOM. It's greatly appreciated!

It's been a rough few days trying to adjust to the night time feedings again. It's been awhile since we've done it. But we're slowly getting to some routine. I hope! Like tonight, Cox and I are sharing the night shift, Cox is now getting some shut eye while I stay up and keep shoti company. How am I writing this now you say? Erin came up to meet Lucas for the first time this weekend. So while she is happily keeping him company, I get to post on my blog which I have not done so in a while. It's just been a little too busy preparing for his arrival.

Here are some pictures of our little man..

Baby Shower for Lucas

Thank you to Jen & Van for hosting my baby shower. Too bad not everyone could attend. But to those who came to join us, thanks!I hope everyone had as much fun as we did. I love the scrapbook pages everyone made. I will cherish them forever.  It's always a great time to have a get together since we are all busy with our own families. We need more of these social gatherings. I guess the next BIG event would be in the summer. For Miki's 1st Birthday and Ian & Avi's wedding. Maybe we can make that sooner...fingers crossed.

Baby Shower for Lucas

Belated Happy Birthday to me!

I had a great day yesterday, my hubby got home from Chicago. We had some girl friends over for lunch. Everyone loved the misua. Thanks Auntie Stella! For dinner, the family went to Mui. We went to white spot to pick up a slice of srtrawberry cheesecake so i can blow the candle but we didn't have any candles at home. So the candle blowing is postponed till next time. :o).

Maddie's first Dentist Visit!

I am so proud of my little girl. Today, she had her first visit with a dentist (Lola Carmen). She was very good, she sat on the chair had her teeth electrically brushed, 2 fluoride trays put in -- at the same time, and flossed. Lola Carmen could not believe that it was her first time at the dentist. As a reward for good behavior she got 2 rings and 1 toothbrush.

Potty Tales...SUCCESS!!!

I think we have made it! Maddie is now potty trained. YAHOO!!!!! The only times that she needed to change her panty is when her pee leaks upwards and it leaks out on her panty -- how that happens you say? I don't know! It's weird. I don't know if she's very excited to pee that's why it leaks out.

Eventhough she's been sick these past few days, she still manages to pee and poo in the toilet. I am happy to announce that she is getting better - fever wise but she is still coughing and has a runny nose. Sigh... I hope she gets better 100% i promised her some ice cream ;o)

latest card creations..

I made these cards a while back but just had not had any time to take a picture to post them. This card i cased here.

This card i cased here. Kristina did a visual tutorial so it was easy to follow but somehow i still messed it up. My fault not hers :o) But at least it still looked like it. somewhat..


This last one i'm sure i saw it somewhere but do not remember where. Sorry to whoever it was that i didn't give credit to...

hope you enjoy these, i had lots of fun making them...

ttfn..

Potty Tales continues...

Yesterday was the first day Maddie wore diapers all day. After 15 pees, 4 accidents (peeing in the carpet and pooping before sitting), 2 mini poops. I think she did pretty well. She didn't even pee in her diaper when she went down for her nap. And when we were ready for bed she i put her diaper on and we had to go to the potty 3x before she went to sleep. She insisted on peeing in the toilet and not in her diaper. Eventually she fell asleep thank GOD. I was exhausted but could not sleep because my body was still kind of achy. So i took a few minutes to stretch my back and eventually fell asleep but still had a restless sleep. I think this pregnancy is starting to take a toll on me. I can't seem to sleep very well these days..anyway, until tomorrow..

Btw, it's now 2pm and Maddie still has the same panty that she wore this am! woohooo! we're doing well. I hope I didn't just jinx her great potty job streak!
