Time No Longer Flys

Inspired by Baby Ethan's Godma, I decided to start a blogg as well to pen down my days of being a stay-home nursing mom, at least till March that is. Hopefully it'll make my days pass faster. At this stage of being a breastfeeding newbie, pregnancy certainly seems much easier, and the nine months certainly seemed to have passed much faster!

I believe everyone would have, at one point or another said this phrase "Wow,how time flys, seems just yesterday that..." Well this notion has temporarily suspended for me since the day Brian and I officially entered into parenthood... Our little Ethan turned 3 weeks yesterday (with what seemed like the longest to get here) and I am still in confinement, till 10 Nov!!

My day passes by the hour, spending most of my time (day & wee hours of the morning) on Kian Li's arm-chair, doing you know what... The only consolation at this point for me is to know and hope that he puts on weight everytime we weigh him. Being a typical paranoid new mom, I worry if he is getting enough milk from me (since he spits out & poo so much!) I keep saying to my mom "working life seems so much easier." These few weeks have been the toughest for Brian and myself, all 31 years of it. Guess we were totally unprepared for the loss of freedom and the amount of sacrifice it takes to be parents. Alison (the kind Early Childhood Centre Midwife - duno what I will do without her) said something to me which I made alot of sense "You might wish to return to work now & resume your career life, but trust me and remember what I say - who will remember you in future, your work or your son?"

Anyways I thank God I have my mom and mil here to help - at least I can shove them the bube when nothing I do can stop him from crying. Being the 1st & only grandson, he's certainly being treated like royalty by his grandparents! Its also simply amazing how he'll stop wailing the minute my mom carrys him, guess this is what you call an experienced "old-bird"!!

Well, I have another battle to fight tonight...so pray for me...
