As many of you know... I just gave birth to a healthy baby girl last December 12, 2011. I will focus first on this new chapter of our life... a new life as a mother to our precious princess - Giulia Bernice... Stay tuned for blog entries about our daughter and about motherhood... For the meantime, you can check out my facebook account for more pictures of Giulia...

Of course, we also transformed the kid's bathroom... So ta-daa.

Below is Wikipedia’s definition: Couvade syndrome , also called sympathetic pregnancy or (in the UK) phantom pregnancy , is a condition in which a man experiences some of the same symptoms and behavior of an expectant mother. These most often include minor weight gain, altered hormone levels, morning nausea , and disturbed sleep patterns. In more extreme cases they can include labor pains , postpartum depression , and nosebleeds . [1] The labor pain symptom is commonly known as sympathy pain . It is funny though, a few weeks after that… I have observed that my lovey hubby is sleepy all the time. It’s odd because usually I am the one who is sleepy. I was surprised to see that there are days that by 9 PM, my lovey hubby is already in dreamland, con
