Gong xi fa tsai, shin nien hau!
It is officially new year's day and the Year of the Rabbit. Mama Wu will be arriving tonight and we are completely ready to celebrate the new years. HA - by completely ready, I mean dressed and showered for the day.
Benjamin is doing really well. He was at the pediatrician two days ago and has gained 2.5 ounces from his birth weight. Babies typically lose weight after birth and then regain. For a preemie, he's moving along ahead of the curve! Whoo hoo
There's also been a few milestones:
Feb 2nd, 1am: First blowout for Daddy
Feb 2nd, 9pm: First bath at home, slept like a log afterwards
Feb 2nd: First smile, not sure if it was a conscience smile but still a big smile
We are slowly getting the hang of things. It no longer takes us 5 minutes to change a diaper. I've now learned the true meaning of "multi-tasking". When you're sitting down, you'll be amazed at how much you can do with both hands and feet! Slowly, sleep is coming in more than 1 hour increments.
I am constantly amazed and in shock that we are parents now. It seems surreal. Life changes overnight and yes, my phone is now filled with baby pictures and every little moment looks cute. I've become a Mom.
