FREEDOM!
The "confined" days are finally gone and things are back to normal with just the two of us, plus the little one, of cos!
As expected, the CL woke up extraordinarily early on Friday morning and prepared all the necessary stuff for me and the baby. By 9.30am, she was all ready to go and we bid her goodbye and welcomed the freedom we have longed for after this miserable one month.
Taking care of Garreth boy during the day was ok (without the CL around), but the night shift turned out to be a total nightmare for our virgin night with Garreth. He was a little cranky in the beginning, so Hubby Goh carried and patted him to sleep, when he finally zonked off, it was time for his 1st night feed and started to yell for milk. When he finished his milk and we settled him back to his bed, he pooed the very next hour and I had to wake up and clean him up. When he's finally cleaned, his next feed was due and the cycle went on and on again the entire night. I only managed to catch an hour's sleep and was totally worn off the next morning.
I dreaded the full month party, not only I was tired, Baby Garreth was affected by the sudden surge of visitors in the house and started to act cranky and couldn't get into deep sleep. We hid in the room most of the time as I didn't want the visitors to pass Garreth around like a passing baton and frighten him. I was practically counting down the time for the party to end so that I can free myself with all the entertainment and collapse in the bed. I knew I was a poor host yesterday but really, entertaining with half a mind gone is really not a joke. I just like to apologise to my visitors for my poor hospitality yesterday and at the same time thank them for their presence and lovely gifts and well wishes. I appreciate that they still show up even for the bad weather, some having to lug their babies, kids and maids along too. Thank you people, you're the best and I hope to catch up with you again real soon!
Now waiting for Baby Garreth's next feed before we hit the bed....aye...baby baby...
