A Homemaker’s Diary

Honestly, after 5 years I have forgotten what it feels like waking up at 3-4 am to change diaper and feed a baby. And then the new bundle of joy arrives and I get to experience the zombie mode once again..huhu!

There is time in a day that I am so tired that I sometimes fall asleep while holding the baby. This is definitely tougher than I thought because each child demands differently. But to compare this with my firstborn experience, I can say that it’s much, much easier.

At first I was scared because the second son sleeps well most of the time and only wakes up for breast milk like once or twice in 3 hours. During the first week, I even checked whether he was breathing because he slept so soundly and didn’t wake up even with loud noise made by his elder brother. With my firstborn we have to whisper and tiptoe in the room, no kidding!

We are now entering the 3rd week of life together and hopefully as time goes by, I’ll get the hang of it and adjust well to the routine of sleep and take a nap whenever I can..huhu!

Oh, how I miss going out..not that I’m the type of person who loves to go out everyday, but being confined in a room is certainly tiresome and mentally draining..huhu!

It will be 5 more weeks (more or less) before we can go somewhere. Hopefully by then the weather will be nicer, with no haze like now.

I want to take both my sons to the lakeside, to the big playground that my eldest loves so much. And I want to enjoy picnic by the lake, having KFC chickens with cheezy wedges (minus the cold iced Pepsi).

But for now I have to be happy with having Jacob’s Hi Fibre crackers and Horlicks for supper and tea!

I’m finally a mom of two boys now 🙂 Alhamdulillah our bundle of joy was born on Thursday smoothly. I didn’t expect it to be this soon since my gynae said maybe it will take another week or two before the due date.

Today I have started the bertungku and berurut session with the same kakak bidan I used during my firstborn confinement period.

As for the berpantang food for lunch and dinner, I am lucky that dear Hubby is able to cook for me. The menu consists of grilled fish marinated with ginger and black pepper, sawi sayur air and plain rice.

I am adjusting to the weird hours of breastfeeding and sleeping while sitting. Hopefully the next 40 days will go by without any problem.

Last Sunday we went to Claytime Art Jam at d7, Sentul East KL. I saw the advertisement about Claytime on Facebook on Friday and quickly contacted the person (Mr Ben) who advertised it.

My son who has been watching Sesame’s Street School going to pottery lesson is very excited to try his hand on the pottery wheel.

After 1 1/2 hour, he managed to make a single candle holder using the pottery wheel and several figurines using the pinch technique. I can’t wait to see the final products. Master Cheah, the pottery teacher will send all the creations made by participants that day for firing and glazing and we have to go and collect our stuffs once they are done.

Anyway, we are planning to join their finger painting on canvas Art Jam this Sunday. Hopefully I am healthy and has not given birth yet by this Sunday..haha!
