 Mommy and daddy work so hard together for our family. I am currently lactose intolerant and a bit yeast in mouth and bum bum. So mom could not feed me directly. She feeds me with bottle. In order to keep the milk supply, she also needs to pump. Right now I am drinking a mix of breast milk and formula. It's double the work for mommy and Daddy. Max is also helping a lot. I am so loved and happy. Some time I could not fall asleep. Mommy will help me get sleepy then sit next to me and hold my hands. She gently sing and hush. I feel safe and fall asleep. I love you mommy! I will grow well, do not worry!

 to see a stand up comedy it was very stressful for her to even think about the planning- logistic, time to feed me, where to park, can she drive in the dark...  It seems like almost impossible. But she made it. Almost in a sense of "jail break" feeling, she drove all the way from Kirkland home to the Seattle central theater. It was a female comedian only show. They were so good! She laughed and laughed, she had tears in her eyes. She also survived the crazy dark parking lot, traffic jam and got into the highway from a strange stop sign! what a challenge! It might not be anything big deal to others, but it is a lot to her. She realized that she did not go out alone for many years, not to even mention going out at night. She felt so calm, a peaceful happiness, and cozy feeling, when she finally got home. Home, sweet home. Perhaps some people are more homebody :)
