Some Happy Thoughts
I met my former classmate--the one I referred to in this blog. Yes, she did show up and we had an interesting conversation. I have to say that I learned a lot that night--about the things that she does for work and fun, her travel experiences and tips on where to stay and what to do in some places that I too want to visit. I was also able to clear some things with her--things that were once speculations, things that she or I may have misinterpreted in the past. Well, we also did what couldn't be helped and that's gossip a little about other former classmates of ours. I hate to admit, but this was the most fun part of the conversation.
I left the meeting happy and I think we both gained a different intuition towards each other. And I am all the more convinced now that people can really change and some of them do.

My Lucas laughed for the first time today. He normally lets loose a big smile whenever I kiss his neck, but this time he didn't just smile. He burst into a loud chuckle.
He also now interacts. When we talk to him he responds by either smiling or babbling.
*****
It's only been 7 weeks since I had Lucas, but I am now 3 pounds shy of hitting my pre-pregnancy weight! And that's without diet and exercise! My dietician set my target at 3 months, I over-achieved. To all new moms--breastfeed!!!
*****
I recently got me some new summer clothes at unbelievably great prices! This is the time when most stores put seasonal items on sale to get rid of them and replace their inventory with next-season ones. Well, maybe for retailers it's time to sell for the fall but I don't think this warm weather is fading out soon. I see myself wearing summer clothes 'til September.
*****
I would have missed out on a sale of my favorite jeans if the hub didn't tell me about it. I love it that he supports my inclination to shop. Or maybe he was trying to help me find a deal because he knew I would get those jeans eventually anyway [grin]. Well, unlike before I now shop in moderation and Charles understands our (women's) needs.

It's all because of breastfeeding Mai. But I do have to start exercising and eating healthy na because my doc said that when I stop breastfeeding, i could gain the weight back if I don't keep a healthy routine.

Thank you Ai! When it's your turn, I can see you holding the camera and aiming it at the little one any chance you get. It feels so great to be able to capture a happy moment!

you are blessed, a gorgeous son, meet ups with old friends, new summer clothes,and a husband who is sensitive to your friends, what more could a woman ask for?=)
i'm glad your meeting with your former classmate turned out to be a good memory for both of you. i should learn from your forgiving nature.
i agree, breastfeeding gets you to your pre-pregnancy weight. ga basul gyud ko why i stopped breast feeding too early.

Chel, indeed God blessed me with a happy baby. He smiles a lot and seldom cries. They said babies' patterns change a lot--I hope Lucas won't.
