Starting my new job officially today – hands-on mummyhood 24/7! Had a brief taste of it last Thursday when I ventured to office together with baby Cherice for the first time on my own and for the long weekend with hubby’s help and company.
I feel the creeps creeping in on me. Even without an extra pair of hands, having hubby’s company helps but today and the rest of the weekdays moving forward I’m on my own. When I really think about it, I’m kinda scared.
Especially when her feeds get erratic and I can’t feed her enough.. It’s truly a test of physical and mental endurance. I’ve never felt so exhausted over a prolonged period in my life and not being able to fend it off. Getting pain in my wrists, arms, neck, shoulder, ankle, lower back from either too much washing, the cold or carrying baby and chores.
What can’t break you will make you better they say – I hope!
In any case, survived baby’s first month on Saturday, will update at Cherice’s Blog later!
Things to do today:
1) make polyclinic apptmt
2) tidy finances
3) decide on Chinese name and arrge to do birth registration
4) create new baby record for feeds etc.
