Yeah like hetz said, it’s one week down, but 2 and a half more weeks to go.. I am barely hanging on, it hasn’t really gotten any easier and the worst part is the weekend….. I still feel very much overwhelmed trying to take care of the lil girl by myself when I am so used to having Daddy help me :(
I have gone down to passing her to the maid every once in a while coz I still feel slightly anxious and nervous around her… I’ve been trying to ’sabar’ and be patient but God knows why I still feel that way :( Hubbs think I have a bit of ‘post-partum depression’ a part of me feels so too but another part just believe it’s just me being anxious with nothing to do over the weekend and missing my other half… I tried taking the lil girl and the maid out but she fusses in the car, maybe she got used to the fact that before this, hubbs will be driving and I will be with her in the car, whenever she fusses, I can just feed her then. But now it just gets harder coz I have to drive… I am almost giving up taking her out… but I can’t stay cooped up in the house or I will get crazy, and I feel guilty leaving her at home…
This is getting depressing, I may be revealing too much.. perhaps I should stop here and continue when I am feeling better… later
hun, please don’t feel like u can’t vent out in here! vent, vent..it’s good for the soul. don’t u worry abt revealing too much…ure semi-anonymous, remember?? plus we’re all newbie moms too.. we definitely won’t judge u. whoever judges you memang can damn em to hell lah. it’s definitely hard to be without the other half.. pls don’t beat yourself up too hard. are there parks near your house…? take walks instead of drives..? call your friends, call your family. please reach out. call us! if u want to call us, all u gotta do is tell us that u need us! and for sure we’ll be there for u! this may sound crazy, but i think that sometimes i have more in common with my “anonymous” online mommy-blogging friends than my own real-life friends. so…know we’re rooting for u.
couldn’t agree more w/ BabyBooned.we’re HERE for ya’,just a mail/call/chat away je.and that statement,“have more in common with my “anonymous” online mommy-blogging friends than my own real-life friends”,i feel the same way too.
hmmm..if only maid can drv,things would b easier skit kan(maid chum dirver..hehe)?(or is it lg bahaya?).anyhw,i dont hv a maid,and sometimes whn im left alone,i do go out with just me & mia,yes,at first she would scream&fuss abt in her carseat,but after sometime,she get use to it,it makes things easier.i do ‘buat pekak’(if she cry)jap while drivg until i reach to my destination.i don’t knw bout Ayra,but as for Mia,whn we’re out,she seems to be easier to doze off(in d’sling).
anyhw,seriously kiddo mom,any help u need,just reach me,or any other mommy(or not) fren ur most comfortable with.
:) hugs!
babybooned: thank u dear, but if i vent i risk like sounding like a crazy mom who hates her child… which i really don’t.. im just going thru a very difficult time… parks around the hse? yes there is a playground, but i don’t have the energy to walk there… *sigh* maybe i shld call around huh..
ira: thank you for the suggestions… i just think she is still too young lah… dia taknak sleep in public that’s the problem… kalau nak sleep she will just fuss and cry then kene la balik..
i really have to figure this out…
Kiddo’s mom, there’s nothing crazy abt feeling this way and we all know you love ayra to bits. it’s just a lot of things overwhelming u at once, right? normal lah. i thk if i were in ur plc i lagi dah x betul. but whatever it is, if u need to vent, just vent lah. its ur blog pun right? just dont keep it inside n go all crazy on ur own k. we’re all here for u :)
hi mommies semua
thanks for supporting my wife hehe!
btw b, nanti when i come back, you’ll forget all the troubles when you see the things i’ve bought for you!
wah syoknya the hubs dah hint with nice things *senyum yan senyum sweeeet..* ;)

kiddo’s dad: just come back here now will u?? uwaaaa it’s sooo hard withouth uu.. i don’t care for the stuff, i just need u (mushy2 hehehe)
zyi: nak senyum pun susah jugak sebab belum halfway pun dia takde huwaaaaaa
