I am human!!!

Have just been asked twice to confirm that I am human by a computer. Ah, the irony.

It is strange to find myself dependent on the kicks of a baby to make me happy. Had freaked out last week when he did not kick for a whole day. He did, after all. Motherhood is perilous for my sanity. Talking to the baby also smacks of insanity but it is supposedly good for brain development. Of baby, not me...I can feel my brain cells degenerating....

Fun fact 1: Interestingly, language development occurs with live conversation, or so research says. Television or audio do not aid in the development of language in a child. Maybe because language is also pragmatics?

Also, discovered that am not as agile as I used to be. Oh, gone are the days I can squeeze between/behind fans, wardrobes, tight corners, people....now am sharply reminded everytime I go by like a petit bateau (heh) in a port full of ten gun or fourteen gun ships.

Don't really like to dwell on this since it just depresses me so...

C'est la vie @ la isla bonita. (ha ha)

Fun fact 2: Babies get nutrients from the umbilical cord. It also passes waste back to the mother (poo!) to be pooped by the mother there. I say, isn't that a great metaphor for parenthood? You feed them and they give you crap. My sister Adik pointed out, can also be one for teaching. Ha ha.
