Today, you're a week old.
Your presence has made us reevaluate our priorities in life. Nowadays, whatever we do, we put you first.
We time your feeds. We ensure you have enough. We ensure your clothes are always changed.
Sometimes, we don't even have time for our own food, and change our own clothes.
The first night when you came home with us, both Mummy and Daddy didn't have our sleep. In short naps, we wonder why you cried. We checked your diaper, we check your clothes, we checked what was it that made you uncomfortable. Wasn't easy.
Mummy tried to exclusively breastfeed you because they say breastmilk is "liquid gold". I tried my best, but my limited supply made you dehydrated and you suffered a slight loss in weight and a gain in your jaundice level. Because of that, you had to be sent back to KKH for phototherapy. That's when Mummy had her first drop of tears for you - when Mummy saw you under the blue UV light. I felt the kind of love I never knew will ever exist.
One week later, we kinda knew what's your crying pattern like. You have made it so easy for us. You gave a certain cry when you wanted attention. You gave another type of cry when you're hungry. And your feeding time is every 2 hours. How convenient you have made our lives to be.
Mummy also learned to change your diapers. Hehe. The first time Mummy helped you to change, Mummy was perspiring all over because you don't like people taking off your clothes. Cold or shy? Haha. But insya'Allah Mummy's getting better at it. :p #pujidiri
Your Daddy has been a great help. He sent you to the polyclinic with your nyai during your third day, and yesterday, single-handedly. Mummy followed the both of you at first, only to be proven that Mummy still has not totally recovered and went home halfway. Mummy do'a that your jaundice level goes down. Indeed it went down, Alhamdulillah.
Oh, I asked your Daddy, "How is parenting like?" He explained that it's more tiring than working. Awww Daddy, may Allah repay all your efforts to groom our baby <3. Aamiin.
I hope one day, if this blog ever made it to the age that you'll be able to understand, we want you to know that we love you so so much.
Love,
Mummy (and Daddy)
