40 days...40 nights

There are so many things happening around the world at the moment but baby talk seems to be still all I can blog about at this point in time. 3 more weeks, Mrs. He-man will face the harsh reality of having to go back to the office. It`s funny how babies can change your life priorities completely. I respect those mommies who took the hard decision of quitting work to be a full time mom. It is one hell of a tough job in which no pay can compensate for.

Aydin is now 6 weeks old and this effectively means that we are off the “pantang” quarantine period. According to the old folks tale, husbands are usually allowed to go back playing golf at least once a week especially Saturday morning under strict conditions. I don’t really want to but sometime its best to stick with our roots and traditions.

40 days also means that mommy and baby are allowed to go out eat sushi and stuff and thus we did. It was quite a challenge logistically to bring the baby out while mommy is fully committed to breast feeding. Going out seems like a covert military operation as we need to plan ahead and make sure we have enough supplies, i.e. napkins, extra shirt and feeds. More importantly, we need to make sure the target destination is strategic and baby friendly i.e. lifts, non –smoking area, mother`s room etc.

One key development that we realized with our little boss is his farts. Man…I could have never guess baby farts can be so smelly and loud. Not sure about other babies, but ours sure can make a bang. I always told Mrs He-man that Aydin farts like a man…truly a daddy`s boy. He cries less at night and his playtime seems to be getting longer and never fails to delight us every time he puts on that million dollar smile.
