hi mummies!
how's everyone doing? hope all babies and mummies are happy!
I have not been able to come in so often as Denise has been rather cranky and hard to cope in the initial few weeks...but she is getting better now although she still fuss alot, like what my PD says, she inherited some fierce genes! (not sure from whom )
Her crying can tear the whole block down....heheheh....Miss Leo i always tell my hubby.
re: mittens
My girl still wearing her mittens leh....cos' i find her fingernails reallly long, even i try to cut them, she hate it! so i dare not cut too deep. i realise she start to put her hand into mouth recently and suck.....ended up the mitten wet wet...
re: sleeping thru the night
my baby girl also dun sleep thru the nite, she will wake up for 2 feedings at least, if she sleeps at 10plus which is the last feed, one around 1am and another 4am....3hours apart normally.
re: bathing
Normally she bathe around 8plus or 9 plus, depending what time she wake up for her morning feed. I use cotton balls to wipe her face area. A small towel to wash hair....that's all.
re: dressing
She will wear a top for daytime and a diaper usually, unless got visitor, she will put on the bottom
....i start to change her into long sleeves and pants for nite time, just to ensure she is not cold at nite when sleeping with us in aircon room, she didn't cover with any blanket...Realise she sneeze alot!!!
How times flies, its my baby girl Denise 2nd month tommorow! I am actually reporting back to work next monday but have talked to boss that i couldn't find someone to take care of her now....so in the mean time, i am looking after her at home. Besides that, i simply couldn't bear to leave her with someone else, even my own mother. I just felt no one besides me, will love, take good care of her and always put her in first priority. I couldn't believe that motherhood has make me change my mindset so much and willing to give up so much in life just for Denise. This include the thought of giving up my job in exchange to spend her precious first 2 years with her.....its indeed a tough decision with a long list of considerations, but it would be truly a rewarding experience being a full time mummy to Denise if i could
Even she is naughty, fussy and wanting me to carry/entertain her all the time...i still love her so dearly....
Being a mummy is not easy, like many of you, my typical daily routine goes like this:
6.30am : Bathe myself, prepare breakfast for hubby and myself. Prepare Denise bathing stuffs, chose her clothings, mittens, booties, towel..
7 - 8am : Eat breakfast and feed Denise (if she is crying for feeding!) Watch the "Zao An Ni Hao" to catch some news...
8.30 - 9.30am : Denise usual bathing time, unless she is super sleepy, let her sleep first. So Cookies, i am same as you, my girl bathing time is quite irregular, if after feeding, i wait for 15min -20mins after burping.
10am- 12 pm: Denise nap time if she sleepy
She sleeps from anything between 30mins to 2.5hr which is the longest she goes for daytime.
1pm -2pm : My usual lunch time, will pack from downstairs or whatever is available at home. Then feed Denise if she wakes up or hungry.
3pm - 5pm : Denise feeding/nap time. If she sleeps, i will have time for surfing web or reading. Or simply rest and relax.
6pm : Prepare dinner
7-8pm : Wait for hubby, try to eat together if possible, else i will be feeding/attending to Denise if she is awake and seeking for company.
10pm -11pm : Denise will normally have her last feeding and goes to sleep...unless she is cranky!
My time with hubby is so precious, we hardly have coupletime since Denise arrival, so after putting Denise to bed, we usually catch up with each other, sharing our day
I love evening the most, its the most happiest hours cos' hubby is back and its our family time!
