Week 5
Josiah is now 5 weeks old, and as at a few days ago, I think he had a growth spurt…he suddenly need to be nursed too constantly in the day and napping less. My day starts around 5am sometimes as early at 4am, and after nursing, I would do pumping for about half and hour. By that time, I may or may not have time to sleep again, as Josiah takes his bath by 8.30pm. John usually gives the bath, time for daddy son bonding and time for me to take my breakie.

In Loving Memories

I feel regrets as I was so busy with motherhood that…

This is Josiah wearing his pajamas all the way from Slovakia, which travelled on air for one month. Thanks to Aylwin and Li-Ann and Arielle. I gave them the honour by using the clothes they bought…

I miss my confinement time
So, confinement is finally over, but instead of sighing with relief, I wish it was a little longer. Let’s see why.. 1) I had a super cun confinement nanny, her name is Mandy Mandy has been in the business for only 5 years, and used to work in a restaurant. She’s totally passionate about cooking and food, and is easily satisfied when I eat up everything. She doesn’t cook in huge proportions and force me to eat though, it’s just enough. She’s really easy to get a long with, and helped me out a lot. She certainly taught me many things, from bathing the baby, to how to boil red…
