Am one proud Mama..

Recently, We have been wanting to "training" Maddie to go to summer programs on her own. But yesterday she did! Yahooo!! With little tears of course, but this time she actually had a good time. I am gearing her up for preschool in the fall. Where it's not parent participation. I know we will have another adjustment period, but at least I know that she CAN do it. This picture shows how much fun she had.

Getting my independence back!

Lucas was 6 weeks old this past Monday so that means...I can drive now!!! Wooohooo.. it's not like I didn't enjoy being chauffeured around but sometimes I just want to go out -- NOW and I can't. It's just different when I know I can go out anytime I want and not have to bother someone to drive me. So thank goodness it's already been 6 weeks.

My son has grown...he now weighs 12.5 lbs and 23 in long! He eats a LOT! Thank goodness we have no problems feeding him the breast or the bottle.


PS. Thank you Mom and Dad for all your help during the past few weeks. It's truly appreciated! :o)

Happy Anniversary

5 years ago today. My husband Cox and I were married. It's been 5 wonderful years and now we have 2 kids. I am a very happy, sleep deprived and content woman! Thanks for being a wonderful father and loving husband. Happy Anniversary Hunny..Muah

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.
