Today is my first day at work.
Yes my 1st day on the job as a Stay Home Mom.
Honestly, I was quite apprehensive at first, wondering if I could do it : look after Ethan + making dinner, ironing and all. From Ethan's birth till now, I've always had the luxury of a second pair of hands - first was my mom, then was my mil. Today, I am all by myself.
I started the day with a prayer, simply asking that all will be well & that Ethan doesn't fuss so much. The day started...well...not really positively coz for some reason, Ethan just didn't want to be left alone. Everytime I was out of sight, he cried. Even when I put him on his chair with me in view, he fussed. Basically, he just wanted to be carried!! Super high maintenance bub.
After what was, I would say, a hectic but manageble afternoon, a miracle happened. Yup, a miracle.
Little Ethan boy fell asleep on my bed!!
That never happens coz he always need to be rocked in the hammock in order to sleep. And when I say rock, I mean some pretty constant 'one-arm-push-up' is needed. Actually I dun quite know how it happened. Recall: he was fussing, so I took him into the room, placed him on my bed to calm him down a little. Then I gave him his dummy (for a quick quiet-fix). He had a semi-drowsy look on his face, so I thot...maybe pat him for a while...the more I pat, the smaller his eyes became...pat pat pat....wahla...he fell asleep! This moment, I had to capture (as proof so Brian will believe me). Thou' the nap only lasted for 30 mins, I think I have been rewarded... Considering that today is my first + the fact that I only started to 'un-swaddle' him yesterday, I think I did great! Pat myself on a job well done!! Heehee, be paiseh one....
See God IS Good.
