Week 10: Too Much? Not Enough?

I am sure every mom has asked herself those two question at least once: Too much? Not enough? Now that the chou-chou is in Week 10, I find myself asking those questions more.

He’s still a wee bit yellow, but hopefully it’ll all go away within the next week. His umbilical stump fell off a couple nights ago. It’s still looking a bit…well, not like the average belly [...]
