Welcome our little boy!

a new baby Boy

We are very excited that our little boy has arrived !! 

He was delived on 29 September, 9:42 in the morning. 

He is the quietest (and sleepiest) baby, 

Hardly ever crying except for a few minutes here and there

We can already tell he is super chill.

In the meantime, the big sister is doing well...missing mommy as I am

at a postpartum recovery center - as is tradition in many Asian countries. 

After checking out of the hospital, 

most moms go to one of these centers to do a month of care. 

It's called 坐月子, if you're interested look  here too.

The older generation believe in not getting any cold air on your body 

or joints, not reading as it is tiring on your eyes, 

staying in doors for a whole month or even 40 days

and eating many foods that are supposed to not only help your body recover, 

but even alter some previous ailments. Below is a look at a typical lunch, 

at least two greens, and a huge soup - as soup is helpful with milk production. 

I have only decided to be here for about 10  days 

as I miss my girl, my husband and my home in general...

Of course the rest here is great, but still.

I can't wait to be home with them.
