Tomorrow will be the last day of me taking care of the lil girl by myself.. though I had been counting days, I am quite sure I will miss her dearly when I do go back to work next week…

On another note, it has been confirmed that hubbs will be leaving us for almost 4 weeks to the US of A :( He will be leaving on Sunday which happens to be his birthday and will be back only 2 days before raya…. He couldn’t get to shorten his trip…. I am very very anxious about him leaving… throughout our whirlwind relationship (we’re one of those couples who ‘kawan’ for a year, got engaged and married the year after) we have never been apart else for his Jakarta trip for 2 weeks in July and a week for Raya during ‘zaman bercinta’. Talk about being glued together. We have always always been together. This separation is gonna be sooooo hard, especially for me…. poor daddy will surely miss his lil girl too huh… *sigh*

The maid is scheduled to come back on Saturday and we are planning to go on a date that night, before he leaves the next day. Hope that plan works out for us…. we really need the night alone….

I am very scared to be left alone with the lil girl.. though the maid will be there, nighttime will only be the 2 of us.. and the main reason I don’t co-sleep with the baby is because we have tried it before in the early days of her life, but I am one EXTREMELY light sleeper. What with the super-mommy-instincts and all, I couldn’t catch a glimpse of sleep if she’s on the bed with us, for fear of crushing her, of her suffocating, checking on her every minute to see if she’s still breathing, and eyes shooting open the moment I hear her MOVE a muscle… in the end, I couldn’t sleep at all. Hence the arrangement of her sleeping in the cot, till the feeding time when she moves to bed with us. By then, I had enough sleep and I am too sleepy to care anyways hehehehe.

Anyways I digress. I hope we will get through this…. :(

Yanz dear, don’t worry too much, (women tend to worry to much kan, it drives me crazy sumtimes, hehe)
You’ll get thru it, just enjoy your exclusive mommy & baby ‘month’ with Ayra, tau2 ur hubbs will be back je.

yeah, it is important to still have dates or ‘time’ alone with ur hubby. Be it watching movies together and whatnot We didn’t go out tht much when she was younger, tp bila dah besar ni sumtimes u wish they’re still clinging on you,etc, but tu la since she’s breastfed til few months back, she kinda miss mommy’s boobs sumtimes and still call it Aresha ‘nye’. so, kick back relax, it’s all worth it :)

p/s: can i link u up to my blog?

Yeap, make urself busy, days will seems to go faster when you’re occupied.

I understand yang, my hubby pun kinda busy these days,first day puasa pun he’s like few minutes late to buka puasa together. Itupun I dah sedih, ngade2 betul.

Always look on the bright side, we’re lucky we have great daddies to our daughters :)

Kiddo’s mom,

Hang in there ok! Don’t worry, the first week will be tough, by the second week, you’ll get the hang of it and the third week will go by before you even realise it. sedar-sedar ur husband dah balik dah. and zach’s right,boleh pesan nice stuff from the US. :)
You will definitely get through this tough momma! :)

hi kiddo’s mom!
just like hetz said, ‘hang in there ya!!its tough just the first few days or a week but eventually insyallah u’ll be ok..

i totally understand how u feel..i’ve been with my husband pre/post marriage and just beginning of the year he got a major project in neighbouring country, I that he has to go there every 2 weeks..so every 2 weeks of the month i’m left with my son adam at home..just the 2 of us..no maid.i tell u, the first time he was away, i was so exhausted to care this little fella alone. my son, adam will turn 3 in october so imagine his hyperness at this age.fuuhh!!

but i’m lucky to have girlfriends/mommy friends around to keep me occupied with activities while hubs away. Like they know their cue once, he’s off..We’ll go for brunchie, lunchie, tea sessions, kidzplays, pampering sessions or whatever it takes to bring us out from the house.hehehe..mommy’s little sweet escapism..what if u join us sometimes, yes? ;)

btw, greetings from adam and his mommy, muna. i’m a friend of hetz.:)
