“Who’s baby are you?” This was what I jokingly kept asking Jasmine as I held her. I was mainly referring to her nose… the one facial feature that all Filipinos obsess over. Bryan’s nose isn’t flat. Mine has average Filipino-flatness. Jasmine’s nose is her very own. Bryan joked that it’s wider than her mouth.
She’s got the trademark Rosete round face and the Ocampo fair complexion. Her eyebrows will be the envy of her future female peers. We were hoping for another set of Bryan’s dimples that Katelyn had luckily inherited, but no luck. At first people would say they saw one on her right check, but I would laugh and say maybe it’s a fat dimple. In fact, Bryan says that he’s waiting to see ANY sort of contribution from his set of genes. But all mine seem to have won… at least, for now.
She’s got arm rolls and leg rolls and you just want to bite them! Her appetite is good and I can see her grow right before my eyes, it’s pretty amazing. In 2 weeks she gained over a pound.
Breast milk really does rock. And it’s free! Woo Hoo! But if for some reason you miss a meal and the baby gets formula instead (like at church), you are in total discomfort and misery until the next feeding. And what they say about losing weight while breast feeding is so true! I’ve lost a miraculous (and much needed) 17 pounds in just over 3 weeks!
So ladies, if you want to lose weight… have a baby. He he he.

Have a baby?…not a chance…Forget about weight loss…I can do that all by myself…We’re done…
By the way, she’s adorable…I just want to pinch her cheeks…She looks more Bryan to me, though…but again, maybe that’s just the picture…

Hey Cousin, Jazz is so adorable! When my mom saw the pictures she said she’s an Ocampo:) She also said that her nose is going to be matangos (some words you just can’t translate). Congratulations!
