Florida Trip

It's great to be around sunny humid florida again. I kinda missed the warm weather especially now with the erratic texas cold weather i can't help to look forward to it. Well, n0t a lot of activity to tell really from our trip, just visiting Richards kids and some good old friends. Besides that, it's mostly me and Matthew hanging out in our hotel and the malls.

It was Mattys first plane trip and everyone that seems to notice him thought his a month old, which made me think if his too big for his age of two weeks lol. He didn't really fuss the entire flight,we just make sure his got something to suck so the air pressure won't hurt his ears. Nonetheless, he was a happy camper, while Richard and I were'nt. Domestic planes really sucks (with the exception of few like american airlines), seats are plainly small there's not a lot of leg room for a tall guy like my husband(i felt so bad for him) and it seems like it was designed for your back to hunch lol. My poor back had to suffer though, considering that i already have problems, thanks for my dear advil btw.

Anyway, enough of me bitching. Don't you just love strangers comments about your baby? so refreshing to hear and thus reminds me how proud and happy we are to have him. Honestly, i still can't get over the fact that he came out from me. I'm a Thankful Mother is what it is.

I got few pictures of us and some filipina friends we visited.

1 week old Matthew

Wow! A week already since i gave birth to Matthew yet it seems like yesterday. I can still remember so clearly that one challenging Saturday filled with wonderful memories of me finally being a mother and my precious child entering into our world. I'm delighted and still overwhelmed till this day. It wasn't a 123 delivery, i even admit it was a painful and exhausting one, but i would never changed nor choose to do it the other way. Most important thing is I DID IT and he made it out safe. I can proudly say i had the best, exciting, memorable experience giving birth, not to mention my husband and in-laws being around supporting me makes the whole situation calm down a bit(thanks mom and dad for coming). Now i know how it's like to give life to a helpless tiny human being. I don't know how to describe it in details though. Heck of job? oh yes but it's priceless.


One thing i realized, "mothers are the BEST". Although i don't get to express my gratitude to my mother i do honor her always in my heart for bringing me into this world, all her sacrifices and patience deserves love and respect in return. Mama Vicky, this entry is dedicated to you and to all mothers out there. LOVE YOU MOM.

Off we go to florida this friday. Will post some new pictures when we get back.

The baby has an elevated bilirubin due to antibodies he develop that were foreign to his blood system causing his red blood cells to breakdown, thus a heme pigment develops that when it gets relatively high it will cause some conditions. They are treating him now to get rid of it. It's not serious, hopefully the phototherapy will fasten the process.
