Katie got her first piece of postal mail yesterday!  We received her Social Security card.  I guess she’s official now. 

I started getting a sore throat yesterday and today it is much worse.  I think I’m getting sick and I’m wondering if it’s ok to still breastfeed if I’m sick.  So what’s the first thing I do?  I called my mommy.  :)  She’s coming over to help watch Katie while I rest and I left a message with the pediatrician to find out if it’s ok to breastfeed.  I also just looked online too and it says:  “It’s safe to breastfeed your baby during common infectious illnesses such as colds and flu. Such illnesses are not passed through breast milk.”  I guess I’ll continue our normal breastfeeding routine today.   Moooo….

Katie’s finger nails were pretty long when she was born.  I was scared to cut them though.  They are so delicate!  So I’ve been just filing them with an emery board but it takes forever and I can’t get it short enough.  Finally yesterday, while she was sleeping, I was brave enough to use the baby nail clippers on her and I think I gave her a great manicure if i do say so myself.  :)  It’s really interesting that her finger nails grow so fast but her toe nails don’t. 

If anyone wants their baby, baby shower, bridal shower, or birthday party photographed, let me know and I’ll give you our cousin Nina’s information.  She takes great photos!  Check out this awesome portrait she took of Katie.

It’s just me and the baby today.  The house is really quiet.  We miss everyone!!

For the last two weeks we’ve had lots of fun with all our visitors.

Irene, Jason, Nadine, Evan, Regina, Fed, and Rachel:  Thanks for the yummy cakes and flowers.

Aunty Poodence:  Thanks for the black onesie and jewelry

Grandpa, Grandma, and Grand Aunt:  Thanks for spoiling us with love and food!

Aunty Suong:  Thanks for the cute outfits and bibs

On Memorial Day weekend we had a yummy lunch with the fam.  Yummy chicken and rice!  Thanks Ah Noi!  And then yesterday we were off to a bbq with the dinner club crew.  We hadn’t seen them in so long!  Here’s a pic of Branden and Katie.  Future boyfriend?

So far Katie has been pretty regular with her poops but yesterday she didn’t poop at all.  Pish and I were a little worried because she was going on 36 hours without pooping.  Then suddenly while at Sherri’s house we got the motherload!  I have never seen so much poop in one little diaper.  Pish and I were SO happy!  :)  I know you are all expecting a picture of this poop but I forgot to take picture!  darn!  Don’t be sad.  I’ll take a picture of the next good one.  hehe 

I lost a couple more pounds in the past two weeks and I can wear my wedding ring again!  I just have to be careful not to scratch the baby with it. 

But….I’m not brave enough to try on my pre-pregnancy jeans yet.  I’m going to give it one more week before I try on my old pants.  Don’t want to set myself up for failure.
