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.
