Have got back to my work place for a week, thanks god it's Friday!!
Adapting to a working mom life is not as harsh as I supposed, just needed some time to figure out what had happened in the project in the first half day, then everything seems smooth so far.
In addition that Jelly is out of town since this Tuesday, I could occupy the whole room, it is much easier for me to pump breast milk in office. However, I still feel it is a bit weird to run the 'dairy' production in the work place twice a day.
Everyday I should pump out the milk four times: 6 something in the morning, then twice in office, most likely around lunch time and around 4-5pm, then the last time is at 11pm, and repeat the same cycle the next day. It is very exhausted but I don't want to give up, however, it made me so tired and dehydrated.
Now I can produce 32 oz everyday, should establish 'Good harvest day' if the production exceeds this level!!

Being a mother needs unconditional love!
Now, I know it is not easy to be a mother, you should suffer a lot once the new life develops inside your body.
And even after it comes out.
Since Lucas was born, I should wake up during midnight for breast-feeding. If I skip that round, my breast would be engorged and cause the heat and pain. My skin condition is getting worse because of the poor sleeping quality.
Today I had the final maternity check up, I told my doc about the nightmares. She said it may be caused by the lack of calcium and hormone, due to breast-feeding. She prescribed some supplements for me, and asked me to try to skip the mid-night feeding.
Breast-feeding is so difficult, but when I look at my healthy Lucas, all suffering is still worth.
Alright, I plan to breast-feed him for 6 months, I hope I could be determined enough and accomplish this mission!!

A sleepless baby
Have you ever met a baby who refuses to sleep? I have one.
Generally, infants should sleep for around 16-20 hours per day, but Lucas's schedule is much shorter than that. He wants people to carry him and walk around the house, he also knows what boring is.
Sometimes, I will bring him out and walk around in evening. He would open his eyes wide and see the world, and then fall asleep and enjoy the breeze, but wake up again when we get back to home.

I start to miss Lucas
I will resume my work on July 24, there are less than 2 weeks from now on. Imagining that I will leave him from at least 10 days everyday, I start to miss him.
I will try to breast feed my baby for 6 months, now is about 2 months passed. It's time have a comprehensive planning about the logistic of pumping milk during the office hours. I know it will bring me a lot of inconvenience, but hope that I could be determined enough to face all the obstacles.
F.I.L. always 'reminds' me not to carry the baby all the time, but he doesn't understand that everytime he sees me carrying Lucas because I should bring him to change diaper. Lucas is smart but you couldn't expect him to walk by himself in his first few months, right?
Experts nowadays make people confused, especially for those so-called parenting experts. They always give parents divergent and contradicting concepts for raising babies. For example, one school of thought suggests parents not to carry babies always, otherwise they will be spoiled. Another school believes that carrying could give babies a security feeling, which will help them to build confidence and self-esteem when they grow up.
Which schools we would choose, I always prefer to be moderate in this kind of situation.

BB has diaper rash again
The diaper rash comes back, and also the stomachache. Today BB cries fiercely.
I just gave him the medicine, now he feels better and falls asleep. I will bathe him by myself today.
Sigh, BB also makes me worrying...

May the force be with you!
BTW, did I tell you that during the delivery, except the pain, what I felt was a strong force inside my body, which pushing Lucas out of my womb?
It is a very amazing feeling, the force is full of energy, is like a force from God or from the supernatural, which makes the little soul to come out and see the world.
This overwhelming feeling gave me the strong courage and energy, and even overcame my fear and pain!
After all, it is a wonderful experience, but if you ask me if I want to experience it again, at the moment, I will reply, 'definitely not!!'

Time for myself, finally
Wow, Lucas is willing to sleep in his own play pack, finally.
And now I have time for my ownself, then I decide to write something in blog.
In the last few days, I was totally exhausted and lack of sleep. Should feed the mischief little one in the midnights and unable to detach from him during daytime. It gives me 2 dark eye circles and allergic and dry skin.
And as I wash my hands too often, my hands are becoming rough, I need to have a big dab of handcream after every wash.
Wow, being a mom is not easy, but lots of people in this planet are taking this job as their life-long career.

My baby is so strange
Have you ever seen a baby:
1. Not willing to sleep between meals, especially during midnight.
2. Can smell where his mother is, once his mother passing by, he will cry in order to get the attention and wait for mommy to hold him.
3. Very energizing, can push mother' s breast away by one hand if he feels full when feeding.
4. Easy to fall asleep if many people are around him and talk loudly. (This explains point 1 why he keeps awake in late night.)
5. Loves to listen 2 CDs, they're The Sound of Music and Musical Mug.
Well, I am talking about Lucas......

Get back to shape
15 days after birth, my weight is 129lbs now, 13 lbs is lost. My target is 110 lbs. Hopefully I could achieve it in late July.
I am working hard on some gentle postpatum exercise, my doc only allowed me to have some stretching workout in these 4-6 weeks. Therefore, breast-feeding becomes the most effective way to control my weight.
Please let me know if you have any idea of losing stone and leave me a comment, thanks.
