Lucky 15

Fifteen has been my lucky number since I was a kid. Today is your 15th day outside the womb. It’s been rough for mommy and me, but you’re still alive 🥳 

Your pooping has decreased. Your eating has decreased, but we’ve tried to feed you more often. I anticipated a big change in lifestyle, but I didn’t anticipate being held hostage by a terrorist (your uncle Vince says babies are terrorist). Normally, I don’t negotiate with terrorist, but you have the upper hand. Womp womp womp.

2 Weeks

Guess who’s 2 weeks old now? You are. And to celebrate, you’re holding in your poop. Come on man. Mom and I are new to this parenting thing. There’s no expert we can hand you off to.

You got cute big 👀, but your cuteness is slowly being outweighed by you difficulty. There should be a “cute-trouble” chart for babies. #himym

Slow Progress

It’s Day 13. It really hasn’t gotten any easier son. Today you spit up through your nose. Apparently, that’s okay. But it’s new and unexpected, so it’s scary…

Not being biased, but you are very cute. However, your cuteness impact is fading. We need you to cooperate. It’s like a cute girl, if she’s difficult I don’t really care if she’s cute. So Vinh, please help your mom and me out 🙏. Bring everyone closer with your light, not further away. 

Success

This is the face of success. I successfully got you to finished 60ml (maybe 58, a few drops left in bottle). It took about 35 mins and I think that was only cause you cooperated. Now we just need that to continue along with you relaxing. So tense…

Update, I also successfully changed a soiled diaper, but I did get some soil on my hands. Thanks again for cooperating there too. 😂 

Photos

Sorry Vinh, you haven’t changed much since the 1st day and I’m kinda bored already of our pictures. I’m gonna have to go through and delete some.

Here’s one from today when I brought you to work to help me answer calls. Thanks for not crying during the call. You have us worried sick with your fussiness and your tension. Please try to relax and lighten up. These are the best and easiest days of your life son 😂 enjoy them. You’ll have the rest of your life to be stressed and tense…

Every Day Is New

Just as soon as we think we solved something or learned something new about you, you bring us a new surprise.

Today your belly button didn’t fall off. Apparently your jaw is tight in addition to your body being tight. I think you’re too high stressed. You need to relax son. You get that from your mom. Although, there’s nothing you should be worrying about yet. Leave all the worry to us.

Honeymoon Is Over

It looks like the easy part of our relationship is not over. Now you’re alert and crying. Your cranky and waking up on your own. 

Your umbilical cord is about fall off. I already miss when you fall asleep so early. And you still don’t eat enough. It’s not a fair trade off 😂. Hopefully the pacifier will be a solution to your problems and ours 🙏.
