20th Month Update

Wow I can't believe it how days have gone fast. 6 months of no update here. But I will tell you, everything is good with Yanis. His such a blessing to us and his presence complete our whole existence.

So for his update, his growing a bit small on average of his age which typically happens with a preemie. But they said they could have a growth spurt that occur in their lifetime which right now I am not seeing yet. His growth is slow and weight is less. His still less than 20 lbs. Even if his thin and small, his pretty much so healthy. The eating habit is quite bad as of this time. Well, it did change when we flew internationally that brought his taste buds into a different state. His interested to eat anything but the portion isn't that great. I have to keep on searching what kind of food he really like. What's happening right now is, if he like one food today he won't budge with it after a few days. So it's quite a challenge at this point. He drink 24oz of milk though plus juice and smoothie. I made sure I give him my own cocktail of smoothie so he can get all the necessary vitamins he can't get from food. Fruit, Vegetable and protein in one cocktail so it's the best way for him to get it and he seemed to enjoy it.

As for height and thickness, I think his 28 inches ( gush I have to check his paperwork LOL ) and skinny.  His not malnourished. I don't agree because he has no problem with health. His very active, play all his toys with passion, talking and laughing, dancing and singing and very interactive. I am happy of my boy and I wish him to be a good boy when he grow up. That's what I am hoping for.

11 month Update

Here it goes another month had passed and it's almost a year since I delivered my miracle baby. His 11 months now and time flies indeed. Yanis is doing great. His a smart boy. I am lucky and blessed to have him in my life. No greater feeling than to be a mother of an angel. Despite the sleepless nights, no matter how tiring my days could be, seeing him with his smile and laughter can take all of it. There's nothing to compare the joy he brings to my life.

His so mobile during photo session. I took this photo with so many tries since he cant sit still. I am glad I got at least a few good ones. The thing with him, every new thing he finds it amusing and likes to touch and feel it. You can't have him seat and relax. His very active little boy.

He doesn't have any full grown teeth yet. His bottom tooth is still peaking. I thought by this time it will come out but it didn't. I still love the toothless gummy smile. I don't worry so much. The doctor told me not to worry about it.

He does still cruise by the furniture and walls. His afraid getting off balance. I tried to check on him so he can practice walking alone but instead he will just sit. His not confident yet. Well, due to the fact he had fall a few times and it scared him. I hope one of these days he will try and do it. I know it will be fast when it happen. I am not sure if I can get in time for photos lol..

The second week of my Preemie ( 36 weeker )

I know I posted today simultaneously. I forgot to post the first week video last week. Even so, I hope you could be entertained by this.

The second week was a breeze for us with my husband. Though we didn't get much sleep because we constantly check Yanis body temp, we did get down to regulate this temperature. He was doing good and the progress we saw in him was fantastic.

Here's the recap:

The day Everything seems Possible - Labor and Delivery 9/17/14

Sorry for not updating for months. Being a new mom is a lot of work. Not to mention I don't have anybody to support my physical needs except my dear husband who's trying his best as much as he can. We already down to our routine now and so I have time for myself. Time is not that many I tell you, but even just a few minutes from here and there it make up for something.

So I already posted on what happen the day I have my son. I just finally made a video. I've got plenty of clips and with such little time on my hand, editing and arranging is a bit of a handy task. I just choose those that are pretty much necessary, significant and memorable.

Hope you enjoy!
