Ruffles
I'm with you! I also had a terrible birthing experience, not to mention horrible pregnancy days too. And right now, I'm awaiting the day when my girl doesn't have to rely on me so much; that when I put her down, she can stay there for a while without wanting to be carried - and here, they're talking about #2. Your love for children is GREAT!
Recession
Yah lor. When I look at how people shop, in Orchard, in Jurong Point, and in other forums, talking about Chanel & LV and such, wah, recession where when ah?!
Home alone
I'm home alone because the inlaws hosting dinner for their employees. Usually family members also must go for the dinner but I use my girl as an excuse. Dinner will end late and my girl's sleeping time is from 8pm so not good to interrupt her sleeping time, right? MIL of course agreed la. So well, I'm happy to have some me-time, without husband, without maid and baby's sleeping.
MIL
Talking about her, sigh. I'm dreading going back to the inlaws now. When she saw me carrying my girl upright, she chided me that my girl's neck is not stable yet, how can I carry her like that? And when she saw the rocker we brought along, she said the rocker's no good because it's not totally reclined and my girl will be hunched back sitting almost upright. Then she kept on bugging me to wrap my girl head to toe, although my girl was already wearing pajamas that covered her hands and legs. Then she nagged me for not making herbal stuff for my husband who sometimes has to work nights. I said he's taking essence of chicken, good enough. But she said those ready-made ones are not good. Very hard to please her. Can only thank the stars that we're not staying with her.
