Happier now....

Hello again.

Since I am still on confinement with nothing much to do besides attending to my baby, I have decided to update my blog (more frequently, I hope) as and when I feel like ranting and will not announce it on FB anymore. So to my frequent readers (ehem, prasan), do pop by often (but dont everyday lah) to check any updates.. *huhu*

3 weeks have past. Baby and I are more or less settled to our everyday routine. Wake up, change diaper or shower, feed, burp and sleep. While she sleeps, then I will get some personal time to do what I want, like shower, eat or surf the net. This is happening every 2 hours now, so you can imagine the amount of sleep I get at night.

Breastfeeding issue is no longer an issue. I still pump and give Qistina any amount I got from that 15-25 mins of pumping. Though she's fed with formula, I made it a point to pump minimally 3 times a day and feed her before giving her the formula. Of course if I get more hardworking/alert at that day, then I'll pump more frequently and give her more.

Personally, I am more happier now. I am less reliant on the husband and am able to enjoy every moment I have with Qistina. I no longer yearn to countdown the time that my husband will be coming home from work, neither do I bother whether he's in the morning or night shift. Reason being, I am less pressured now and more confident handling my baby on my own. Not that I dont bother about my husband at all, I still do ok!

The fact that my baby sees my face first when she wakes up and cry and that she sees my face last before going to sleep is really remarkable. I feel honored to be in this position. Seriously no words could describe how I feel. When she lay her head on my chest during burping (and chances are she'll fall asleep at the same position), her smell lingers and captured into my brain cells.

This is the "thing" that lived inside me for 10 whole months and now she's in my arms. She deserves to be given the best. All these emotions will outweigh whatever sleepiness or laziness I felt at the point in time.

Qistina will turn 1 month next week, and will be having her first injection since discharge (she had 2 injections at the hospital). This means that I can go out again and have a fresh breeze of air... wahahaha

Anyways, I guess most of my updates will revolve around me and baby for the time being. As you would have known, nothing else is happening in my life right now. :)
