There's something about Mommy

1. Mommy went to Safeway to buy formula for Luca. When she got home she had everything, both the necessary and the unnecessary, but the forumla she had intended to buy. Talk about forgetfulness.
2. Luca is almost six months now, but Mommy still has ten pounds to lose to go back to her pre-pregnancy weight. Breastfeeding doesn't seem to help much with weight loss. Maybe sleep deprivation is to be blame - low metabolism makes it difficult to lose weight. Mommy's wardrobe is filled with new XS and 0p clothes she cannot wear (she had a shopping spree right before her second pregnancy).
3. Mommy is a fantastic multi-tasker. Feeding Luca, entertaining Maya, instructing Waipo what to cook for dinner, shouting to Waigong to tell the gardener to cut the potato trees and the bushes.
4. Mommy awakes as soon as Luca makes the slighest sound. Sigh...she used to be a heavy sleeper.
5. When was the last time Mommy slept three hours straight? She doesn't remember.
6. When was the last time Mommy slept through the night? She doesn't remember either.
7. Mommy remembers clearly the moment Luca made his first tummy-to-back turn, the day Maya stood up in her crib.
8. Mommy is not always patient; she can be quite confused sometimes. When she raises her voice to Maya she feels bad.
9. Mommy is a pretty good photographer. Most of the photos in this blog are taken by her. :)
10. Mommy still dreams of going to Paris to research for her next book.
