Those eyes

Phoebe is now 7 weeks old :)

A day in the life of a SAHM

I'm currently taking care of my little gal by myself.. its been tough but it taught me to be independent and also to train my multi-tasking skills.

Somehow i feel more tired taking care of my gal than when i was at work.. maybe my body's not tuned back to pre-pregnancy stamina yet...

my schedule goes somewhat like this

7am-9am: wakes Phoebe up for milk, burp and coaxing her to sleep
9am-11am: takes my breakfast, do laundry, pump milk
11am-1pm: wakes Phoebe for milk, burp and coaxing her to sleep
1pm-2pm: mops the place, makes my lunch, pump milk
2pm-3pm: wakes Phoebe up for bath, milk and some exercise
3pm-5pm:  packs the place, power nap, laundry again
5pm-7pm: wakes Phoebe up for milk and some exercise
7pm-9pm: Playtime, usually she's wide awake at this timing, dinner by MIL
9pm-11pm: change of clothes, cleanup, pump milk
11pm-12am: final feed, coax her to sleep

its like clockwork almost everyday
most activities are repetitive but time-consuming, like pumping milk which takes half hr or more and coaxing her to sleep can take half hr to more than an hr.. depending on her mood.

Phoebe is currently drinking every 3-4 hrs.. and she has been sleeping through the night after the 11pm night feed.

hopefully Phoebe grows up healthy and strong~ :)
breastfeeding is a tedious and sometimes discouraging process.. but i will hang in there!
staying at home and taking care of her by myself can sometimes be so lonely as everyone's out, either working or they have their own activities..but looking at her face with her animated expressions takes the loneliness away

Phoebe's First Month Celebration

We shifted back to my in law's place on sat and had the Full Month Celebration on Sun, 1st of September..
There were so much things to shift for our 1 mth stay that we had to use a lorry and a car.

Photos from the celebration, we were so busy that we did not take a proper family photo. Most photos were sent to us by friends.
And surprising, Phoebe slept throughout hahah even though it was so noisy and she was being passed around my various relatives.

Thanks to all who came again :)

and so i will be home looking after our little gal by myself.
I can do it!
So far, my activities all scheduled around her feeding and sleeping times
the moment she's asleep, i will rush to wash her stuff, clean the room etc
now my room smells of Phoebe and Phoebe smells of milk ><
