Dalinda's Journey

Dalinda

March 29- Our close friends held a thanksgiving dinner for our Preston's 2nd month birthday. We couldn't be thankful enough.

Preston getting bigger each day. Still breastfeeding but having problems with my inverted nipples so I had to pump. We're loving him too each day.

My tummy skin being saggy isn't really improving despite the Shea Butter. UGH!!!

Apparently, my cardiologist advised me to stop using my Seretide as a maintenance. I'm now asthma free. It's strange that the moment I gave birth, my asthma suddenly bid goodbye. But don't get me wrong, I don't miss it, haha! But I still have a box of Combivent at home just in case it flares up. The hot weather here in Texas might be factor if it does.

Preston will be turning 4 months in May 29. Yay! Had his multi-shot vaccinations the other week. Pity my little man, he just broke my heart when he cried in pain as he had his short on his chubby thigh! If only I could absorb that pain. But when we came home, he got hungry and played afterwards. That's my little man, strong and sweet! We just couldn't get enough of our handsome baby!!

Preston's a good boy. No sleepless nights coz when he cries in the early morning when he gets hungry, he sleeps as soon as we burp him. And we could get back to sleep to. But despite that, I check him out once in a while too. His daddy and I are taking turns to see if he's sleeping fine. Getting heavier each day.
Last night, I had an asthma attack so I nebulized. Feels weird. I don't have any maintenance no more but it does flare up when it's very humid or hot.

Oh Preston, you made my life complete. No matter how exhausted and stressed I am at work, when I get to see you, it's just heavenly. Each day I feel like you have something to make mom and dad smile about. Priceless!

July 29th will be our baby Preston's 6th month birthday! Wow, couldn't believe his 1st birthday is fast approaching. Still a very good boy or I don't know if his dad and I are just too patient to tolerate some stuff and adore him too much that the sort of exhaustion related to taking care of him is an activity that makes is extremely happy? Hah, the paradox of it. We find comfort in taking care of this bundle of joy from God!

Preston had a cough last week. Good thing he got well after 3 days. Probably related to the sudden change of weather.

Preston's getting heavier, I could say that my arms are getting toned by it, LOL! His chunky legs are so tempting, always made anyone comment on how cute he is! His eyes and chubby cheeks are just something that melts my heart!

Walking in the park and watching his fave cartoons at home are just some of the simple joys our family share with each other. We love you baby Preston!

The other day Preston fell from his crib! He sat up, rolled and fell off to the couch which was beside his crib!!! I was just on the other side of his crib changing the pillowcase. I was so shocked and immediately ran to him. When I picked him up, he was smiling. Thank God he was ok. I laughed when I saw him and cried afterwards because of I got super scared. I told it to my hubby and we had a fight. Hubby kept telling me what could have happen should the couch wasn't there? We're now ok but the guilt feeling is still here and the lesson learned that we should be extra, extra careful especially in the first few years of their lives. Bumps and scratches are natural, but falling off is a different story. Scary.
