Kean's 2nd Month

Our Kean turn 2 months last January 12,2014. We are so blessed to have him in our life. He complete us in a way that people can call us a FAMILY. A dream that I thought I could never have. A lifetime happiness that he can bring to my life. Kean is the most greatest thing that happened to us. I know his older brother in Heaven our Dear Mackenzie is also happy for Kean being with us. I know he is also one who wish and dream to bring kean in our side.

A lot of changes during 2nd month. He is EBF or so called Exclusively Breast Feeding. It's not easy but its fun, It's sometimes makes you tired but I don't care. as long as Kean is healthy and happy I can do everything for him.

Kean's 1st milestone - Smiling

We are so happy!!! First Milestone for Kean, he starting to talk with us and response with his smile and laugh. He starting to murmur sounds or make sounds everytime we talk to him. this happened even before he reach 2nd month, wow..I'm so proud mama. The first time I saw his smile makes me so proud and I can't believed we made this so handsome baby boy. Cuteness overload indeed.

Kean, Mama will always be here at your side for every milestone you will discover in life. Even I sometimes feel crying for you are growing so fast, but inside my happiness are over flowing for you are very smart baby. Keep it up anak. Papa Jesus will always guide you and protect you. We love you.

Breast Pump

BreastPump
Manual Pump: Mimiflo
Bought Online : Php 699.00
Date: December 30,2013

I started to breast pump when Kean is 1 and half month, even our pedia doesn't like to breast pump yet because kean might have a nipple confusion, but I insisted without her knowing it. Haha. I bought the cheaper manual breast pump only because my sister in law from Australia bought me a Tommee Tippee Manual Breast Pump and she will be here on January 17,2014, so instead of waiting for that day why not bought some cheaper one first.

So at first kinda hard but days goes by practice really makes perfect. From less than an oz to 2-3oz wow. But you will just going to hae struggle to try to feed your baby thru a bottle, specially when you are EBF (exclusively Breast Feeding) but again practice makes perfect hehe. Kean is still having a hard time to feed in a bottle but still trying our best to overcome it.

Good luck everyone!!

Dear Lord,
Thank you for giving me milk that enough to sustain kean in his everyday life. Thank you Lord for making us healthy and happy everyday. Thank you very much for  everything my Lord.
Amen

Dream Family Picture

My Family
Taken: December 25,2013

I remember my oldest niece usually says before "sabi ni tatay (my dad) papa picture tyu kapag lumabas na si kean para complete na tayo" now here it is. I've been dreaming to have this kind of photo to be display in our house and can finally says "My Family" Before i thought it will never happened but because of Gods Gift and we know for God nothing is impossible now everything is visible.

There are My Family , my tatay, my nanay, my brother and my sister inlaw and my 4 nieces including my so called panganay bembem. Before we only have photo of me and mike display in our house now, with Kean. Teary eye whenever i'm looking at this photo. Lovely and finally can say All dream can come true.

Dear Lord,
I thank you for this wonderful gift. Thank you for giving me a great family i know we are not perfect family to compare with but i'm happy and bleaa to have them in our life. Thank you very much Lord. We love you.
Amen

Exclusively BreastFed

Breasfeeding?

As my previous post, the first time i started breastfeeding is really crucial, our pedia said only the first 2 weeks is crucial for my baby and for me. Yes she is right, at first I even cried for the pain and hurt i've experienced and I even said I give up and I want my baby to mix fed with formula milk but our pedia say NO for this is her advocacy and i'm happy somehow I follow her advice to wait till everything will be in smooth sailing breastfeeding session with my baby.

Then after 1and half months wooolaaahh, she is right! I even enjoy breastfeeding now, even how hard it is specially when we are outside. But because i'm a mother and its my duties to feed him and to make him healthy I need to do everything for him.

Our Pedia still doesn't allowed us to use breastpump coz she doesn't want my baby to be feed by bottle as young as he is now, but because I wanted to try it and as i got some advice from other moms, when the time i need to feed my son in a bottle it will be hard for both us specially for him if I will not make him use to it as early as I could. So Even pedia said no because he might have nipple confusion still I decided to try it soon. 

Now, the questions is until when I can handle breastfeeding sessions? Until what age of my baby I can do this? Answer: Until my boobies can still produces milk I will never stop breastfeeding till the last drop. 

Dear Lord,
Thank you for overflowing breastmilk everyday  for my baby. thank you for making my baby healthy and strong. Thank you for making kean so active and so cute. Thank you for giving us so gwapo baby. Hehe
Amen
