Wow! This week has flown by!
Hey there,
Let's see, what have we been up to the past week?
Surprisingly all I can remember is that I went in for a check up with the obstetrician on Wednesday morning. So Monday and Tuesday are a blur.
Ahh.. now I remember....
Monday was Dragon Boat Festival Long weekend. Tuesday was the actual holiday so people had to work this past Saturday inorder to make up for the Monday off. Adam tried to make up for it on Tuesday but forgot his office key and came back home to spend the rest of the day with Ethan and I so that was nice. Instead, he went into work on Thurday to make up for Monday. (Ok... that seems very confusing so if you don't understand it - it's ok.)
Tuesday was Great Grandad George's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. The family in the UK did a big birthday surprise on him much to his pleasure and Adam and I talked to him and were there in spirit!
Thursday A-ma came early to pick up Ethan and let me get a few hrs sleep. Then I went over to her place and spent the afternoon with them and went back home to get dinner ready for Adam when he got home.
Friday was spent applying for Adam's Alien Resident Card (Work Permit) extension of his old card and apply for a new Alien Resident through Marriage Card . This took all morning until about 1ish. We took Ethan with us and he pretty much slept through the whole thing. He actually pretends to sleep which was great because last night, Adam just carried him around in the Baby Bjorn and he ended up sleeping from 10:30pm - 3am (While I was gratefully napping.)
Then he woke and nursed and napped on me about every few hrs.
Today, a good friend of mine, Donna came by around 9:30 am. (She is from Australia and is going back there with her son Cailem next Wed. ) She invited another friend, Laurie Ann (Canadian) to meet up with us. Then, we went to get massaged and our hair washed at the hair salon. I took Ethan with me to give Adam a much need sleep. Afterwards, we walked around a near by outdoor shopping area called Jing Ming First Street and grabbed some lunch.
When I got back home it was around 12:30pm and Adam had just gotten up. He looked really well rested. Then A-ma and Gong Gong came by and we went for Mango Sorbet on top of shaved ice. SOOOOO GOOOD. Afterwards, they took Ethan back to their place for few hrs so I could get a nap and Adam could get some work done.
Now, Ethan is resting on Adam's lap as he is writing an email. He is so angelic when he is sleeping.. Ethan I mean not Adam. HAHAH.
As for Ethan this past week, his life is pretty routine: Nurse, Sleep, Poop, Bath with 1-2 bottle feedings/day and outings. He has increased the amount of milk he drinks from 80cc to over 100cc which is normal for an 8 week old so all is good and his thighs are getting chubbier. Some of his baby clothes are already a bit tight on him. HEEE.
I'll try to post more regularly but since Ethan and I are now free to go where we want with the Baby Bjorn, when we can go out, we jump at the chance!
Luv to all,
Joanne
