Isaac at home

First bath at home

Isaac Andrew

We did it again! We had another baby. This one is even bigger than the last one. Isaac Andrew was born on June 16 and weighed 10lbs 14.5oz and 22 inches long. Boy am I glad I had a c-section. It wasn't easy though. I was throwing up all day the first day and the incisional pain was more than I remembered. Anyway, we are all home now, and everything is good. My parents came from Hong Kong last week. My mom is staying for six months to help, we are so grateful for that. My dad is going back tomorrow. It's going to be emotional, and I don't do emotional. I know it's hard for my dad, because he has had so much fun with Eli and Isaac. Oh boy, tearing up just by reading this already. I'm an emotional nut again post-partum, just like last time. Thank goodness Isaac is such a good baby. He's so much easier to take care of than Eli was. I assume Eli's eczema problem was the reason why he was always so difficult. Isaac has so much hair. We love his chubby cheeks. I love being a mom, but not so much being a new mom. I know this period of self doubt and feeling of inadequacy will hopefully improve overtime, though I know it will never go away as that's part of being a parent. That's it for now.
