mbb, sh, fizz,
thx e concern. haf already roped in e help o my mum n mil. 2day hubby's home so he helped. but having said tt, it's impossible 4 me to go on total bedrest rite now. i did my best 2day. like everytime i hafta feed mandy, i asked hubby 2 carry her onto e chair, everytime she wans sthg, i asked hubby 2 take 4 her, pick up toys, change diapers etc all done by hubby. n he's really exhausted plus e fact tt he din sleep well last nite due to worry. now he seems to b getting sick... sigh... wat bad timing...
but there r still tings like preparing her meals, comforting her when she wakes up crying, n just playing w her. all e while, i've been playing w her e whole day unless i need to do my chores. even when i'm half asleep i'll oso respond to her no matter wat. my hubby plays w her but he can't tahan e whole day n i dun blame him cos it's really tiring. however, i'm really tired 2day too cos had to go hosp last nite n slept late. n i oso tot i shld really let go abit so i din play w her so much. i cldn't oso lah cos i's trying nt 2 move too much.
in e end, she threw a big tantrum at nite, cried badly and looked like she's going into a fit! thruout e day, i already felt she was outta sorts, like more bratty n grouchy, trying harder 2 get our attn. i tot she felt neglected.
i've nv seen her cried so badly b4, totally outta breathe.... i was so so so sim tia to c her lidat. in e end i took over e last feed (she din eat) n lied beside her n patted her n cried. i really felt like just hugging her tightly. i dunno how 2 assure her i really still love her, how 2 make her understand y i cannot play w her, carry her as much. my heart was in so much pain... she's e most attached to me n i noe her e best so it's really hard 2 suddenly let someone else take over the childcaring. but sigh... wat can i do??
hubby was v upset too. he flared up at mandy when she threw tantrums, understandably n he felt q bad bt it. i dun expect anybody to haf e level o commitment i haf 2wards her lah cos i'm a fulltime sahm mah n i'm already used to her ways n i noe why she behaves a certain way etc.
so when i saw hubby looking so sad, i was so sim tia too. i oso patted him 2 sleep. den when i logged on, i saw tt he's been surfing bt how to make sure e 1st born dun feel neglected when there's newborn. sigh, he really tries v hard....
i'm so sorry i whine so much here... i'm just feeling like i need to vent a bit. i really wish i haf e means to do everything n mandy, my hubby will b happy. it really sux 2 stand by n not being able to help....
fizz,
it's me! e pt o going KK is to b able to register as a subsidised patient so tt e cost o e bb staying in NICU will b much lower. being a subsidised patient means u dun get to choose ur doc, n e team who delivers 4 u. so must c heng suay lor.
