The Gift

Wow, so the last post was before the delivery of the little cutie pie. So much in my mind but I do not know where to start. I shall try.

12 April 2012, T1211123H. Such nice numbers! Hope your life will be as beautiful as the numbers given to you. :)

Life as a new mum is indeed not easy. Now I understand why some women would prefer going to work than staying at home to look after their children. At work, I know when I can finish my job and go home. As a mum, I can't see the end of my job. Everyday is a new challenge and though it's a wonderful feeling to be needed that much by someone, it's really draining.

I'm glad that I persevered breastfeeding until now. The first few weeks were really the hardest. Thankful for a hubby who were there to give support. For a man who hates reading, reading articles on breastfeeding is considered a feat! Thank you, bao bei! (let's not mention the part that I wanted to give up breastfeeding, haha)

With this new addition, our marriage life has changed too. Time has been given to parenting. Whatever couple time we have now has to be pre-planned and with the help of my mum. I used to look forward to 6pm each day because the hubby is gonna come home soon and we can spend the entire evening together. Now with a new career, the husband is working hard and I just cannot expect him to come home as early as he used to. Sigh.

I'm still undecided about taking no pay leave. I guess I just need someone to decide for me this time. Or rather, I need to hear that it'll be alright for me to do that. I'm just worried about the money. Oh wells.
