The past few days have been tiring for our family.
Awesome news is my sis in law gave birth to a lovely baby girl... my first niece. The first baby who would be calling me gugu. ♡ Already loving her so much... already finding myself smiling at her lovely face in the photograph.
A newborn is always a worry on his/her parents' minds. Is my baby healthy? Why does my baby cry so much? Is my baby getting enough milk? How's my baby's jaundice level like? And the list goes on. I personally feel that the first month is always very tough - having to deal with worries about the baby, coping with him/her while trying to get enough rest and recover. And of course, if there's hired help in the form of a confinement nanny, manage the helper as well.
And above all this, stay afloat and support each other through the journey of parenthood. Emotions can run wild and I know how freaking crazy it can get! Omg. I was one happy mama all the way until week 2 into confinement when I would cry very easily and for a long time. Wah scared my mum and hubby, man! Haha!
So I hope that my Bro and sis-in-law could settle down and get used to their new routines and also be able to enjoy their newborn. :)
For my side, Ethan was down with a cold. Felt so bad because he was out and about for bulk of the week and it could have been a mixture of over exposure + exhaustion + never wear enough clothes. :(
Feel so bad that I didn't take care of him well enough and it hurts to see him struggle to breath through his stuffy nose. Lesson learnt!
So because of his cold, he couldn't eat or rest well so he was a lil more fussy and cranky than usual. He woke up more during the nights and needed more attention in the day so I didn't really get to rest sufficiently. But really, I've never found myself so OKAY with such situations except for when I've become a mother. ♡
So let's just look fwd to a better week ahead. Life goes on and it will only get better! :)
