A former coworker of Chin's once said, "Having the second kid makes you
realize what f***in' p***ies we were with just one."
I agree with every word and asterisk in
the above statement.
The specs
As of November 2:
- Weight: 16 pounds (75-90%ile)
- Height: 26.75 inches (95%ile)
Milestones & important
events
October 7 - I got mastitis for the 3rd time.
October 22 - I had an appointment for my annual
exam and decided to take both kids with me since Chin was at work. It was not a
smart idea. It was a stupid idea. At one point, both children were crying and
wanting to be held. Snacks were spilled all over the floor of the clinic room.
There was an overabundance of snot. This clinic visit may have shortened my
life by up to two years.
October 29 - Welp, it was bound to happen! After getting 5 infections & being on 5 courses of antibiotics, my body decided that it was going to break down...and the zoster virus swooped in: I developed shingles. "Isn't that an old lady disease, Bao?" Why yes it is. And it sucked.October 31 - Marcus’s first Halloween! You’d think we would have some cute costume for him to wear. But no. All of my brilliant ideas were vetoed by Chin. (They were seriously brilliant, too. Four Asian stereotypes. We were going to be the most happenin' dressed up family ever!) At the last minute, I came up with idea of putting him in a UW outfit (a dawg) to complement Camille’s dog costume. Good enough.
November 1 - While I was gone all day at clinical (gone from 7am-7pm), Marcus only took 2 oz of milk. He sure made up for it allll niiiiight, though!
Favorite part...
I'm just loving the fact that I now have a fat kid.
Least favorite...
Oh boy...what is it? What is it? Oh yeah, it's the busyness. School has been so busy, I want to pull my hair out.
Shout outs
...I'm continually thankful for Chin's Mom and her willingness to drive up here every week to take care of our kids (and us)!
Discoveries &
reflections
...There are only a few things that are worse
than that moment when you need to take a poop, one child is nursing and the
other one is throwing a tantrum. No, wait. There is nothing worse. Nothing.
...When I wake up in the middle of the night, I hate everyone.
...I oftentimes feel like a mean mom. There are days that I would feel like I'm constantly spanking Camille. I just don't like to feel this way. This article resonates with how I'm feeling.
...One day when I was driving around in Kirkland, I saw a woman wearing a velour jumpsuit. And I thought to myself, "Boy, that looks really comfortable. I oughtta get myself a velour jumpsuit." At that moment, I realized that I have turned into an Eastside mom.
...I'm realizing that this post sounds super negative. But the change in the weather has really impacted me. Rainy Seattle weather gives me irritable Bao syndrome.
