My precious baby Nathan

David handed me this "hot cute guys and cute chicks" this morning. Yes, guys with baby chickens!

 

布尿布 + 笑了! Cloth diaper + smile!!

Yesterday Nathan's gift came! His grandpa gave him some cloth diapers!

I wanted to use cloth diaper as soon as I know they existed even though a lot of people say it's impractical because it takes a lot of time to wash and dry them. But I want to be environmental and give Nathan the best. We have already used three of them and think they are great! They absorb peepee very well and the inside is not as wet as those disposable ones. Another great thing about them is that they look a lot cuter!

Nathan likes to be changed and after we changed him this morning we caught him smiling (see video)! He loves the gift grandpa gave him! :) 


昨天收到Nathan爺爺從美國寄來的禮物，雖說是禮物但其實是我指定的。我指定要布尿布。環保又可愛，何樂而不為?

有很多顏色和花樣，但我指定的花樣沒寄來。

Tiffany藍耶

裡面長這樣，白色布是替換用的，當然裡外用一次就要洗了。

好可愛，迫不及待想用了。雖然實際上包的人不是我XD

爸爸換尿布~

Nathan很專心看著爸爸

 心得: 好用! 因為超吸尿，而且表面很乾爽! 比紙尿布還乾很多!

換完尿布後，發現他居然在笑!! :D :D :D

親愛的寶寶- 6

親愛的寶寶:
早在你出生前，我就愛你了。而且你是世上第一個讓我這麼做的人喲!
從月子中心出來後，我和你爸爸就回到真實人生了，沒有人煮豪華五餐(很多吧!)，沒人送中藥擦澡水、 當我想休息時沒護士替我照顧你。你常常大哭到嗓子都啞，我們還是不知道你是哪裡不舒服了。尤其是今天，所有能做的事的我都做了，你還是哭天搶地。而我也跟著你大哭，說也奇怪，我大哭你反而盯著我看不哭了。

寶寶，我為什麼哭呢? 因為我覺得我這個當媽的無法解決你的問題實在沒用，也很心疼你的不舒服，也許是腸子痛? 太飽? 太累? 我還大哭大吼說:「Nathan,你為什麼一直哭? 嗚嗚嗚! 到底為什麼? 不要再哭了好不好?」

實在太白痴了，哭完還是得面對現實。

寶寶，我和你爸爸說，現在我最愛的人是你耶!

寶寶，我從來不知道我有著這麼強的母性。自從懷孕開始我就不停讚嘆大自然的奧妙。原來母性真的是存在在每一個女人的!! 我非常強烈的要保護你、愛你並給你最好的。本來不打算餵你母乳的，但是到了月子中心後，給你最好的營養變成我最大的使命。不管多痛多累，我還是要餵母乳。但是我不是母乳多的媽媽，所以我吃了所有我聽說可以發奶的食物，啊!好累啊!! 明明還有十幾公斤的肥肉在身上，我還是不敢減肥少吃，就怕少了母乳給你。

寶寶，早在你出生前我就愛你了。從今以後，你不用怕愛不夠，媽媽這裡有太多太多愛要給你了。

寶寶我愛你。

Everyone loves Nathan

 

 

My friends came to visit us today. Ah what a fun afternoon! 

People in Taiwan love biracial babies. You don't see biracial babies often here, which is why they always catch attention, and the love stories behind these cute little "mix" no doubt arouse their curiosity so whether you like it or not, you have to be ready to answer questions from those curious people. Biracial babies, therefore, often appear commercials, ads, and TV shows. But of course, many older people still think biracial marriage is strange or something they are used to so they  look at us (used to be Jonathan and me, but now the three of us) like we have the craziest hair and judge us.

We are already used to it, but Nathan will have to learn how to deal with those curious eyes.

Apr. 2

Tummy Time! 

再過兩天就要從月子中心回家了。那才是真實人生的開始呀! 希望一切安好，寶寶快點習慣家中的一切。

Two more days we will leave the postpartum care center and return to the real world.

How do I feel about it? Anxious! I haven't had Nathan with me full day yet and I feel nervous and tired having him just for 3 hours. What concerns me is that I don't know what to do when he cries angrily when everything is done (milk, diaper, burp, walking, holding...) I'm worried that he is uncomfortable or in pain like he is having colic.

Luckily the first four days we're back home is holiday so I have Jonathan with me. Hope the baby can get used to home no problem.
