Sleeping to the moon and back

I strongly believed this calls for a post.

Sophie slept from 733pm to 730am. No feeds in between. A well rested mummy, beaming her smile at her this morning.

Sophie must be thinking. This woman. Why she kept praising me. Why is she so proud of me. Am I really that great? Am I that awesome?

Sophie. You have no idea~Mummy is a light sleeper and takes a long time to fall asleep. In this 3mths, close to a zillion times, after a night feed, I have a orchestra snoring husband on my right, a well fed baby on my left falling asleep. And there, I was. Trying for another twenty minutes before I fall asleep.

Guessed what. Before I realized. Its next feed again.

So, Sophie. Thanks for your greatness last night. I know it's not a constant. But Mummy happy enough today.

Love you to the moon and back~

Undivided Attention

Eventually. Or planning to.

I will return to work. Beef up my bank account. Equally important be a good example for S. Dont be a lazy bum like your mum Haha.

I have observed how Yellow interact with S. Playing with you yet playing games on the phone. This is not what I want. And I believe it's not what S wants?

So. I pledge. I will give S undivided attention when I play with her. Not watapp on phone or reading magazines whatsoever.

Quality over quantity eventually when I am back at work. For now, S will have both quantity and quality ;)

Week 12~let the sleep training begins~

Apparently. Bb are incapable of linking their sleep cycles(30 45mins each). So, LEARN!

At first, I tried crying it out method. Letting S cry for 15 20 mins before resettling her. I am telling you, it's as tough a process for her as well as me. Seeing her cry, makes me unwell. I feel like puking on several occasions.

Then, I read about ferber method; progressive watching. Letting bb cry for 5 mins, go in pat for 2mins. Repeat till she's asleep. Next day, 7mins so on.. This works well for S. After first 2 rounds, I come in pat n go. She knows theres no hope, she starts to depend on herself. Self settle and sleep.

Teaches me;
Kept exploring methods till u find something that suits you

Dont give up half way, I.e after the first method. Then, S cried for nothing. All wasted.

Always let her be independent.  Yet have a sssshhh safety net for her ;)

Lastly. I love her. More than I know.

Thankful Sunday

Last Sunday. Was what I described as thankful day. Hoping to say thank you to the people who help/love me in these 2 mths.

One of whom, is Nurse Noel. Someone who taught me tricks on breastfeeding and went the extra mile to help with my vicious letdown. Chocolate n cards that it~

N then M n PQ. Flowers and food. Comforting and making the hungry mom happy. Pic, strawberry pork ribs at Pangs. I love love it max. Hahaa

My Sat Night

Kinda of perfect in my sense. Sophie in bed, Yellow in gym. I finished my SOGO takeaway dinner. Waiting for laundry, lighted  diyptye candles.

ME time. I never had for a long time.

Eventually if I am to work. Able to have work life balance in life. Life will be perfect then ;)

Crazy horse day

It's crazy horse day. Any of the following/combination could happen.

Soiled PJ
Soiled Rocker
Pee on mama while bathing
Cuddle me away all day
Peaceful lunch fat hope
Crying baby to be fed; I am all sweaty

Sweaty to the max. Messy hair. Hunger. Mummy hands; ever so sore and painful.

But one of her glance at you. A smile. Would take the sorrows away.

9 weeks sharp.

At solid 6.6kg. Usually it takes 3mths to double your birth weight. But milk junkie took 2.

85pct sweet. 10pct bittersweet. 5pct bitter. For a first time mum, I believed that considered good experience.

Above. Us. In Petite Bateau.

Loves of my life

Its been 2mths. With limited sleep. Still going strong, despite no caffeine. Its amazing journey. No regrets and perhaps wish I started earlier.

Love you 2. To the moon and back.
