I take back everything I said about coping w/out sleep. I was totally konked out after just one week of looking after him full-time. He's been getting pretty hyper recently and I'm wondering whether my [excessive] drinking of coke is the reason for this since I'm breastfeeding him. Am a coke addict and had stopped drinking that much of it since the pregnancy. Just started doing so recently after I passed the 1mth confinement...Hubby was very nice & understanding this weekend, taking care of Aidan and letting me sleep as much as possible.
Being a mom of a newborne can be a scary thing. I constantly wonder whether I'm doing things wrongly and am afraid that I may screw up somehow due to my ignorance. I get even more conflicted when people [especially if it's ur mom] tells me that what I'm doing is wrong and bad for the baby but when I do my 'research' and check the internet or ask about it in a parenting forum page, I get the assurance that I'm doing the right thing. But it's not that I'm totally enveloped by this paranoia..and I doubt I'm suffering from any post-natal depression. I do love being a mom and truly enjoy the company of Aidan..and I think I'm darn fortunate to have an understanding & loving hubby who is totally hands-on in the caring of our baby :)

U want one?????? Will come with packs of chicken essence too :) Guarantee to help improve mahjong skill :>
But he is even cuter when he smiles..erm when he sleeps. Tough to get a pic of that though *sigh*
Actually, it's more that he only smiles when he sleeps only so its tough to catch it coz I rest when he zz :)
He is so cute!!! Dun worry so much about doing the right parenting stuff. You can cope! Meanwhile, sleep more too :)
Jia you!
Yeah, I should try to zz more. Just managed to put Aidan to zzz so I should be going to bed soon~
I fully understand how you feel, hoping he would sleep more and wish he eats well. With YC so supportive, I think you would not go into post-natal depression. Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results. Diff people has diff opinion. So you can choose not to listen. There is no good or bad in handling a baby. It's how much you believe. Most importantly, trust yourself. You sure can one lah!
Thanks for ur support! Will also constantly check with u if I'm really unsure of myself since u have more experience than me..
By the way I found some girl auctioning the whole 2 inch set of Ci Boy Deris for one hundred bucks cheaper than Pixtoon!! Gonna buy it after CNY hehehe. If you come during CNY period (that is if the proposed bai nian thing really takes off, and if you wanna bring Aidan to collect ang pao hehe - must get from Derek! He "playing cheat"!!), I may be able to show you ALL my Ci Boys stuff. Hur hur hur.
Yeah, Aidan bluffed most of the people with his 'guai' behavior during the manyue *sob*..
Eh..u sure the Ci Boy set will still b ard after CNY? U waiting to get all ur angpows ah? Err..what proposed pai nian thingy?
