As usual, time flies. A thousand and one errands have come and gone. Come this Sunday, our little baby would have successfully disturbed our sleep for one month. It's been challenging and tiring... Waking up to feed his incessant hunger, fighting back his kungfu strokes, feeling the heartache when he cries... It's a mixed bag of emotions and it's certainly frustrating - very frustrating - at times... But ultimately - it's all worth it. When he calms down and stares back at you with those bright eyes of his, the whole world seems to shrink to just that...

I guess the number one lesson we've learnt from this is to make sure we get a confinement nanny the next time round. Cheri has had to take care of him in the daytime and she can't get enough rest as a result. When I get home from work, it's my turn to take care of him but it's pretty much preventing me from getting much schoolwork done, not to mention the fatigue. Basically, chicken essence and coffee are now my two best friends.

I'm not sure if it's good or bad luck that contributed to this situation. The original intention was for me to work from home during this month so that I could help out in the daytime as well. But then a lucrative job offer came along... So well, I couldn't very well carry on working from home after resigning... While it's probably a good move for us in the long run, the timing of the offer certainly could not be worse. Oh well, it'll probably be better after her confinement is over - Just a couple more days to grind it out now...
