At first, we give all the thanks and glory to God. I started to feel pain suddenly. Every 3 minutes for 1 hour, I had really heavy pain. We went to hospital I was already fully dilated. Wow! For 2 hours, I had pain that I never imagined before. 😉 Our son was born early in the 38th week, but he was a 8lb 1.5oz / 21¾ inch big baby boy. 🙂 The doctor said, she couldn’t believe where he was hiding. hehe… Everybody loved his full head of hair which he got from his father and said he is cute. He is very healthy and lovely. We wanted to announce this happy news earlier, but it took some time to recover from the pain of delivery. I’m getting better day by day. So here are some of his adorable pictures.
These beautiful flowers were sent to the hospital as a surprise from my sweet husband. It made my day. He cheered me up a lot the whole time of my pregnancy and still does. I love you, honey. 🙂 Although, Bryson brought us a totally different lifestyle (can’t sleep enough, busy days, tired body, etc.) but we love him very much and are happy to be with him. 😉
First day at home, after his first bath – Bryson is listening to a book. Does he enjoying it? I hope he did. hehe
Relaxing time with Daddy.
First doctor’s appointment – he loves to sit in the car seat. We are ready to go! 🙂
Yawning – Bryson is so~ cute!
After coming home from the hospital, he was exhausted from the check up! The doctor said, he is healthy and everything is fine. Thanks God.
He doesn’t like wearing mittens, and without them, he scratches his face with his fingernails. It’s a kind of battle between this little angel and inexperienced parents to put mittens on his hands. See, he already removed one. hehe…
So far, he shows a very nice character. Unless he feels hungry, he usually doesn’t cry much. The nurse said he is a big eater. oops~ Don’t worry bryson, Mommy will make many delicious kinds of food for you. 😉 Maybe he is thinking of food now in this picture.
Comfy Bryson in Grandmother’s arm…
Oh~ handsome boy, I felt in love with him. 😀 Some people said he looks like me and some people said he looks like his dad. So he must have things from both of us. 🙂
His mouth is moving – he is hungry and ready to eat. “WHERE IS MY FOOD?”
Happy Bryson with food… hehe
Burping time!
More beautiful flowers from my parents-in-law and sister-in-law. Bryson brought big joy and happiness to both my husband’s family and my family. My parents could feel bad since they are far away from us and couldn’t take care of me and the baby during my recovery. However, I have such a sweet family in the USA who give us lots of love, my parents feel comfort now. My mother-in-law comes to our house everyday to help me and Bryson. Without her help, it would be really tough. I’m such a blessed girl. Thanks for all the love from family, friends, you and especially my mother-in-law.
As you see, I can’t reply to your comments as I did before. I’m trying to eat and rest well for now, so soon I can start to work on my blog and videos again. I will check your messages and try to answer them if you have specific questions about your Korean cooking. As always, I love to read your comments and they mean a lot to me. So please understand if I don’t reply fast enough or don’t post things often. I will come back with many delicious Korean recipes in the future. I hope you will still visit my site and communicate with me. Thanks, Love you all~~~
