After delivery
Blamed it on my stupid c-sect delivery (failure to nurse my babies in the first 48 hours), I did not give up.
During confinement
Blamed it on my stupid “dry gene” (even my inner wear is totally dry despite taking much soup during confinement), I did not give up.
Consoled myself I have got 2 babies, that [...]

Time flies really and I am already completing the 3rd week of my confinement!
