Week 8 Baby

Skyler is 8 week old today! Which means I'm halfway through my Maternity leave. Anyway I extended a few more days so I'll be back to work in May. 

So for the past 4 weeks (after his 1st mth), there has been lots of ups and downs for me. This boy's emotions and habits seems like ever changing. I know there are more to come...

Motherhood is really not easy. Sometimes when I couldn't handle him, I would ask myself why do I land myself into this situation? I will also ask myself what did I do wrong that leads to current situation.

Small problem like he doesn't want to nap, would make me feel very frustrated because he will become very cranky and fussy.

Tried many sorts of way to make him nap. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.

Previously I strongly objected to use spring cot but now I am thinking that if this way works for him to at least take naps, then why not?

I don't want to make myself even more stressful and unhappy just to make him nap so I decided to compromise.

As long as he is not cranky and fussy which may lead to future bad temper(?), then I guess I just have to do ways that make him happy and also make myself happy.

Well, all mums just want to do things that are best for their babies right?

I am really thankful that G is really a hands on dad.

He has his magic hand that can make my boy to sleep most of the time.

So I dread the days when he has to go office to work.

Not only helping to take care of baby, he also helped out with housework when I am taking care of the baby. 

How not to love this man? :)
