It’s officially two months since D-Dae; that is, when I gave birth to my 9 lb, 22 inch baby girl, Dae. Whoa.
In a nutshell:
1) The labor was long (3 days long!) and yes, rather painful
2) Motherhood is cool and completely time-consuming
3) Breastfeeding is… ditto no. 2
4) Lost almost all the pregnancy weight after 3 weeks
5) I’m completely in love with my baby
Will elaborate more as I find the time… which is not easy with a newborn! And for a look at my constantly growing bundle, check out her first appearance in a magazine.

I hate TV commercial, they get to be inane and taxing. That’s why my TV and movie watching seems to be on non advertised cable stations (and they worm their own plugs in anyway.)
However every now and then one stands out and makes a longing impression on me. The one I want to relate to you is an old McDonalds add, where a young male parent is trying to control his infant son in eating lunch at a store table. Enter an very elderly gentleman who say, he is also taking his younger son for lunch. His son is just about the same age as the young parent with his child. The young parent bends across the table and tells his son he can’t wait till he grows up and then whispers to him, don’t grow up too fast.
I am tearing remembering this TV commercial because I hear an echo of my son, when he was hitting 17 years or so telling me that I am treating him more like a baby than I did when he was a baby.
Many happy days with Dae.
