Rash

Gosh, Lucas had rashes all over his body this early morning, right after the milk powder feeding. We sent him to the hospital immediately. The doc couldn't confirm what caused it but we all suspected he has allergy to the milk powder.

That means that I cannot stop breast-feeding, at least within this month.

This is the first time he has serious illness, I stayed at home to take of him. He gets well now and is very talkative.

Lucas is stepping into the 4th month

Lucas looks so happy these few days.

Friends came to visit him in the last few weekends, everyone like him a lot. I couldn't believe that he becomes so popular. Last time after the Yum Cha in Shatin, an old lady jumped in front of us and said she recognized Lucas because everytime she went to that restaurant she could meet him there, I guess that old lady would go there for Yum Cha on every Sunday in order to see him.

And, you can make friends easily if having a baby in your arms. Waitresses love to talk with me if I bring Lucas along.

I was going to stop breast-feeding because my health condition is deteriorating, but I really don't wanna give up, now I discover that the nutrients could be restored back to my body by simply pumping out lesser milk. Now I adopt this method and look better apparently in these two days.

I bought Lucas to my parent's house yesterday, my aunt, uncle and cousins were also there. When we left, all of them waved Lucas cheerfully, but not a single one bothered to say good-bye to me.....

Outgoing Baby

Lucas gets bored to a place easily, everyday he should go out for a walk.

Two weeks ago we bought him to Sai Kung with my family. It was his first time seeing sea. He was stunned by the tremendous blue water and stared everywhere enthusiastically.

Lucas has strong curiousity. When he grows bigger, I will bring him to countryside, to appreciate the beauty of nature.

By the way, he also has Monday blues, because we take him out during weekends, he supposes we will do it on Monday also......

Dancing Horror

Lucas is a clever kid, he knows how to manipulate his parents.

Maybe he knows I feel guilty for leaving him at home and go out for work in the work days, he loves to bully me in weekends. However, I still feel very happy that he still wants me to carry him, at least that means he likes to attach me.

It was funny that I scared him by my crazy dance.

Last night, after the feeding at 10pm, Jeff asked me to dance in front of Lucas to make him smile. I shaked every part of my body strongly with a little dumb bell. Lucas stared at me for several seconds and suddenly screamed and bursted into tears. I stopped dancing immediately and hugging him at once. Lucas always cried but did not have tears everytime, but this time, I guessed he was really panic.

After a few minutes, Lucas calmed down and Jeff performed Yoga, he smiled again.

Should I give up??

Gosh, my allergy comes back. Everytime right after I pump out the milk, my skin becomes reddish, my eyes are swollen, and last night, my finger joints are itchy.... My body sends me signal that I am overloaded, but when everytime I look at my chubby Lucas, I don't want to give up breast-feeding.

If I know how to find an equilibrium point, I know when to make a rational decision.

Stepping into the third month

Come and see how cute Lucas is...

Stretch Mark

Well, there is a vertical strecth mark about 1 cm long appears in the left side of my tummy, which caused by the pregnancy. Comparing with some mothers who have spider like stretch marks all over the belly, I am very lucky.

However, I still feel it is very obvious, I am going to put some tattoo on it, such as a star, a rose, or even a baby doll, etc.

I am also thinking about having a naval ring...

Okay, all these are just thoughts, which may hardly come true, because Jeff will kill me...
