parenting

 

23 september 2010. that was the fated dated. my first day of being a parent. she was the most beautiful thing i ever laid my eyes on. she has tiny eyes like her father's, cute buttony nose with red adorable lips also like her father's.

i gave birth to her, a 3.1kg baby then, on a wednesday (4th of syawal 1430) after 8hrs of struggling in the labour room. she was a healthy baby though she had to be incubated for 5 days for toxic removal after consuming meconium due to stress (long labour). i was worried, confused and guilt-stricken. i suffered the post-natal depression. it lasted for weeks. it was my DH who juggled everything and still manage offer me a smile face while i just lay there crying in confusion.

i had my confinement back home at my parents some 400km away from my house. i slowly regain my sanity and bonded with my beautiful newborn. she doubled her weight and she was blessed with health and she was a happy baby. her milestones were always on check with her growth if not quicker. i returned to after 2months of maternity leave despite me having second thoughts about continuing to work.

my baby is 16 months now. she can (baby) talk, run around and feed herself. she eats almost everything we eat. she sleeps with her elephant soft toy that she loves so much. she gets excited everytime we bath her. and she is the cutest when she laughs! oh, DH and i enjoy watching her grow but inside of me, i wish she could pause.

"mommy cant catch up with u sayang. please dont grow up so fast." :(
