So, I have been posting very very little more and more recently. I apologize to those of you who actually read my blog.

I have been too busy, tired and/or lazy to write anything to post.

After Siew went to Penang to await the time for our child to be born, I found that I was spoiled by all of the things that she did for me. After that I had many more things to do for myself.

After that I had to go to Penang for a lot of trouble that I was not expecting with Siew's family, but that has passed and things are fine now, mostly due to the fact that we are not at her parents' house I suspect.

Poor Siew had to stay at her parents' house for several weeks after Felix was born, which was stressful to us both.

Once we got back to our place as a family, the real fun began. We have no help here. It is common for people to hire maids in Malaysia, but that is a strange concept to me, and not something I feel we can afford if we wanted to. I suggested a washing machine and or a part-time maid, but Siew vetoed them both. So, I have been doing my best to help clean things up around the house. I try to wash all of the clothes. I am not used to washing by hand, but I am getting used to it.

I really want to absorb all of the things that I can so Siew has less pressure. She has a huge amount of pressure from out son. He is wonderful, but sometimes he is so fussy that I do not know how Siew can deal with him all of the time. I hope that she is not as stressed about it as I am!

I think Siew is doing a wonderful job as a mother. Felix is doing his best to drive us crazy, hopefully he settles down soon and is less "colicky," but I am not sure how long that well take.

So, that is an update, however short. I apologize for delaying.
