Little Thoughts

Is coming to the 3rd week since Baby arrives to our family.. What are my thoughts so?
1) Neglection towards Baobei - I feel I have neglected my baobei even she fully understand that Didi needs me more... Why? She is away to school for the whole day and only back to home in the evening. Sometimes, i really will want to spend another 10mins of my night time with her be it just snuggle her to bed, but i can't. Baby is quite handful at times and always want to be carried esp at night.. And that makes me even more difficult to get close to Baobei.. Whether she can understand it now or not, at times i just feel so guilty for that, and what I can do is to kiss her goodnight right after Baby has fallen asleep and cover her with blanket everytime when i wake up for midnight feeding... Mummy still love her as much as before!!!

2) Confinement basic rules - as much as i try to follow the basic rules ie, take rice wine, eat ginger, rest more, bathe with herbal, i can't... I find my body system just can't follow all these rules.. By the 2nd week i have already stopped drinking the red dates water and drink plain water instead. I shower 2x a day once with normal water in the afternoon and herbal in the evening. The weather these days really sucks.. I can't cover myself with just any additional of clothes and I started wearing shorts & singlets thru out the day... Also as much as i wanted to rest well, i can't do it as I need to fully care for baby at night with all the midnight feedings & expressing.. I don't take naps all the while. Even that, I just endure it to night... When Popo goes out on every wkend, i take simpler meals ie.. Takeaway food from kopi tiam.. PoPo always said next time you will know it when you are older... Pls spare me from that, if next time I really suffer just because of poor confinement i will take my own responsibility for that..

3) Daddy's action - Daddy has been more pro-active right now, for eg, helping out to take milk from kitchen while we are in room. he will also offer to help out in taking care of baby when mummy is attending baobei or expressing milk... The only difference is, Daddy doesn't dare to handle this newborn like changing his diaper, bathe him over wkends, etc.. Which these are the things he used to do it for our 1st newborn.. well, anyway don't expect too much.. Is never easy to get a man to move!!! So be happy with what we have now..
