1. Spending the morning leisurely with her laughing, playing and dancing while watching our reflections on the mirror wall
2. Just napping with her while Dr Oz is on TV
3. Taking her out to my mum's place, our car journey and me worrying the sun gets to her eyes
4. Ferrying my dad and mum out to lunch together with baby, shopping
5. Cuddling her after her shower ( she tends to get insecure) and needed to be nurse straight away
6. Thinking how i want to spend the day, making the most out of the weekday, be it running errands, sorting out clothes, things in the house
7. Walking about malls that is relatively quiet and bringing her sight-seeing, using nursing rooms that is oh-so - peaceful
8. Not thinking about work at all.
9. Whispering "Good Morning Agnes" and " I love you" when she is just awake
10. Trying to multi-task, having two minds, trying to be at many places at the same time
11. Freeing my mind to just relax with her when i am with her...
Such is the life i had during the 16 weeks, i can't say it's all leisure given i had to juggle with two house renovations, looking into who takes care of baby while i go back to work, settling errands, breastfeeding, but this will be a phase which will be gone when i start work. I hate to forget this part of the journey... just as i constantly try to remember the first few days when i was discharged and had to deal with engorgement...
Those were the difficult days, but those were also the days that made me feel human, feel a zombie, feel like a mum, feel like a baby all at the same time. My weakest moments but those were also times when i rose to the occasion, doing things i would never have thought possible.
I do hope now that i was able to breastfeed her for the whole of my maternity that i was able to do so till she is 6 months.
