Words Cant describe how much i love this little boy.

Parenting is hard, So very hard. But so so so worth it. As i sit here and type this I am watching my little boy grow up before my eyes. Im listening to his little cooeing his big gummy smile and his legs and arms flailing in the air. he truly is the biggest blessing in my life. I honestly couldnt imagine my life without him. He continues to amaze me every single day and my love for him grows bigger and bigger. Cant get enough of him!

One Month Stats

We got this cute boys one month stats today. He is healthy and strong. We sure do love this little one!

'

Weight: 9 lbs 2oz which puts him in the 25th percentile 

Height: 20 1/2 inches long, kind of a short kid hasn't grown length wise since we brought him home from the hospital but this puts him in the 15th percentile

 

Bath time

We are starting to get a better understanding of this whole parenting thing. Who knew it would be so hard, and time consuming, okay okay I knew it would be time consuming just not so hard. We have been good at getting a good bedtime routine going. It took us a while but it works and so we stick to it faithfully every night. We start with feeding him, then getting things ready for bath time while one of us burps him. When the bath is ready we bathe him lotion him down and put his pjs on. By the way he is really starting to love bath time. We then swaddle him tight in a swaddle blanket feed him some more so he sleeps longer (by the way he is sleeping four and a half hours a night before waking up to eat and we love it!!)  and rock him to sleep. Works every time and we love it. The only problem is that he hates his crib, bassinet, anything thats not snuggling up to one of us which sometimes makes for a really long night. So if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this problem we are about willing to try anything. But we sure love this little boy and cant believe how much he has grown.
Here are some pictures of bath time.

Meeting the Bryce Family

Asher got to meet his Ama, Agong, and  Geoma's  ( not the real way to spell it, but I don't know Taiwanese Ping ying yet and so I'm spelling it the way you would say it in English ) this last week. They were here for about a week, and we loved having them here. This is the first grand baby for the Bryce side of the family, my family's 17th grand baby. So he was pretty spoiled this last week. Benj and I didn't really get to hold him a whole lot while they were here because they we all in awe of how cute he is. ( i have to agree). I was a little sad about not holding him a whole lot this last week but also grateful for all of the help we received while they were here. I even got to sleep in the same bed as Benj for more than a couple of hours at a time. It was really fun to have Benj's family here we miss them already and love when they come to visit! Here is a couple of photos of them while they were here. We also blessed Asher this last weekend so there will be a post about his one month stats and blessing picture to come soon....hopefully!

 Asher often sleeps like this no matter how much we try and straighten his body out

Couldn't Ask for a Better Father for my Son!

Benj is such a good husband! He truly does awesome with Asher, and makes me fall in love with him every single day. He gets up in the middle of the night to change diapers, or bottle feed him ( we are forced to bottle feed because Im just not making enough milk to keep his little tummy full) just so I can get an extra hour of sleep. I think sometimes he doesnt realize that I catch him talking to him in English and Chinese, or kissing him, or snuggling him. But I love those moments where I catch him loving up on him. We even sometimes fight over who gets to hold him. He is so great and watching him be such a good father makes me fall in love with him more and more everyday! I sure do love my boys!!

Two weeks old today.

We sure love our baby boy, he is such a good baby! We dont have problems with him crying much and right now he just likes to stare and coo at you! It's adorable!

Happy Valentines to my sweet sweet boys!

I truly used to hate this day, I thought it was stupid. But when I married Benj... it still didnt change haha. This year though changed my thought process a little bit. Since I can remember I have had anxiety. I started getting it in middle school when going to school was just a little bit too miserable for me. I had no friends I was made fun of more than not. I finally got it under control in high school. So Benj has never seen that side of me before... until I got pregnant. I would worry about the smallest things. I still had it pretty under control, but when I had baby Asher my anxiety has sky rocketed to unbelievable heights. I do really well during the day to keep it under control but at nights I cant help but crying, I cry pretty much most of the night! Benj in this process has been unbelievable understanding and supportive of my new behavior, though I dont think its been easy on him. He has done some amazing things at night like taking the first shift at night so I can sleep. My anxiety has effected a lot on our relationship, just adjusting to all of the new things in life. But he never fails to show me everyday how much he truly loves me and our son. I now have a new perspective on life and especially this holiday, Valentines Day isnt about buying special gifts for each other or spending money on pointless things. Its about truly realizing how many people care for you. Love is in the air people and im not talking just about couples. Im loving my new little life and my sweet sweet boys and couldnt be more grateful for the two handsome men in my life!
