Diaper Genie 2 Review
February 16th, 2008
As I mentioned in my previous posts, our baby’s poops are fairly loud and smelly. Probably not more smelly than the next baby but definitely louder. We been using the Diaper Genie 2 for two and half months, basically since he was born. Read the rest of this entry »

February 16th, 2008
Our baby had his first post-hospital shots this past week. Earlier in the day, I had two shots myself during my annual checkup. Too many needles in one day. Read the rest of this entry »
Growing Baby
January 28th, 2008
It’s been almost 8 weeks since Scott has been home with us. He’s been a joy. His daily routine still consist of eat, sleep, shit, and cry. He’s growing rapidly, almost doubling his birth weight. He has big eyes and chubby cheeks. His diet has been 95% breast milk and 5% formula. Very healthy so far.
Must have baby tool: Breast Pump
January 5th, 2008
On our first two nights with our baby was really tough. Getting him to latch on and feed was a pain. He was crying and just not having any of it. We felt like we didn’t know what we were doing. Even if he did latch on, it was only for a little while because the milk was not in production yet.
Umbilical Cord Finally Off
January 1st, 2008
One of the most unattractive parts of a newborn baby is the umbilical cord. It just doesn’t look nice on a cute baby.
Happy New Years 2008!

December 12th, 2007
So it’s been one week since our baby was born. Here’s what we found out about newborns.
Baby’s First Diaper Change
December 10th, 2007
Baby’s first poop did not look like poop at all. To my disgusted surprise, the poop look like sticky black tar. I was not ready to clean that up and change the diaper. Read the rest of this entry »

Baby Scott Details

The Baby has arrived.
December 6th, 2007
Our baby was born on December 5th 2007 @ 9:08am.
His name is Scott. He arrived slightly earlier than what we anticipated. His original due date was December 26th. We kinda knew he would be here before then, but not that early.
We just had a baby shower on Saturday December 1st. My wife’s co-workers had a baby shower for her on December 4th. Thanks everyone for the wonderful gifts.
Here’s a short recap of what happened last night/this morning:

Final NYU Childbirth Class
November 18th, 2007
This past Thursday we had our last childbirth class. We didn’t meet at the classroom. We were given a tour of the hospital where our baby will be born.
First Real Diaper Change
November 14th, 2007
We changed our first diaper yesterday on a live baby. We were over at my parent’s home for dinner. My brother’s baby needed a diaper change, my mom told us to go change it. I was looking forward to it.
Our Baby Update & 4th Childbirth Class
November 12th, 2007
We’re only weeks away from the delivery date. There are so many things still left to do. We still need to purchase some items. Still need to assemble the baby crib. Get a car seat. Figure out how to handle the baby.
Dangerous Toys from China
November 8th, 2007
First there was too much lead in the toys. Now there are date rape drugs in the toys. Next its feces infused toys. Maybe it’s finally time to boycott the toys from China. Yes, they’re cheaper, but it’s not really worth it. I’ll pay more so my kids won’t have to deal with lead and GHB.
Circumcision - To Cut or Not to Cut
November 5th, 2007 
There was an interesting article about circumcision in the latest issue of Time Magazine. In 1965, 85% of U.S born babies were circumcised. It has been a downtrend since then. 77% in 1971, 65% in 1979 and finally 57% in 2005. It’s probably going to be below 50% in less than a decade. Of course, most of the decline came from immigrants who have babies in the U.S .
Childbirth Class at NYU Medical Center 3
November 3rd, 2007 
The instructor spoke about the different tools that can assist in delivering babies. The main tools are the forceps and vacuum extractor. The forceps tool is like a salad tong. You can use it to help extract the baby or use it to toss salad. Two tools in one. It’s mainly used when the baby is not moving down the birth canal, a.k.a the vagina. It’s also used when the mom or baby is in distress during labor.
