Alive....

As I walked home from the bus-stop after work today, I looked up the blue sky streaked with white clouds and thought to myself,"I'm so glad to be alive. living. breathing." I'm not taking life for granted. Being thankful that I'm able-bodied, have a job that I doesn't drag my feet to, moi little family to return to after a day's work. Suddenly, I just feel so contented with life and want to appreciate every little thing that I have, even nature...like a good o'l weather that I could slowly strolled in.

The extra bag( for my breastpump and storage bag) that I have to lug to and back from work no doubt is kinda troublesome. But trying to the best of my ability to give something good to Jayden just makes the effort seem worthwhile. Hope he will be strong n smart. And every night while latching him really bonds me closer to him. thou I wonder what's he thinking... is it just purely yummy milk or? I'm savouring each day of this closeness between us. Cos there will be a day that I need to wean him off. It made me treasure each day and living in the moment.

My Monday today is filled with missing of Jayden... after spending the weekend taking care n training my little one. hee... was successful in training him to go to sleep by himself during the day twice. no need to rock him. And he actually took some good naps during the day during the weekend. I was super happy cos he always kena complaint that he don't want to sleep during the day. And I'm more worried if it would affect his development. Through reading some books, learnt that we need to identify his sleepy cues and set the environment for him to have a good nap. Well...as parents, we are responsible that he have a secure environment to rest, play and thrive. Baby needs enough rest to grow well. My nieces didn't come round much during the weekend so it helped that home environment was more peaceful. Cos they are super noisy when here... think that's the main reason why he has difficulty sleeping during weekday. too much distractions. poor boy.

And hubby woke up last night at 4+am to change Jayden's diaper and pat him back to sleep. I was too shag by then due to 2hrs feeding interval at nite (12midnite,2am,4am,6am). He waking up to put the little one to sleep was such a great help... so must commend here!!! love ya dear! Keep up the good work hor. haha...
