Motherhood is simply amazing. My baby, Sheldon, is now 5 months and 10 days old and I just saw a little tooth peeping out of his lower gum today. The past few months have been the happiest time of my life and I know it can only get better. People say you'll never have time for yourself again after you have a baby but it's all worth it. If you are also a mum you'd know how I feel. The blissfulness of seeing that little human being grow up each day since the very day he was born is just beyond words.
I've learnt how to cope with mummy duties, a breaking back and heavy eyelids concurrently. Breastfeeding during the period when S was experiencing growth spurts was the most stressful and exhausting part at the very beginning. Fortunately, my breaking-back has more or less recovered, inspired by my elder sis who is a Pilates master and also a new mum who did Pilates daily during her pregnancy and even confinement period. She doesn't get achy backs and that's why I've been practising Pilates diligently too. In Indonesia, I have a helper tagged to me where ever I go with S. It really helps a lot with her around. Just some insights, I'm a Singaporean residing in Indonesia as my hubby, A, works here. Naturally, I went back to Sg to give birth. S and I are finally back to reunite with Daddy Dearest since S is old enough and safe to travel. Our reunion is really good, with S being able to have lots of bonding time with Daddy and I getting the chance to whip up dishes for my dearest hubby. I'm still in the process of becoming a pro wife and mum.
Mums-to-be and new mums out there do follow me in my journey as a mum. I believe that these experiences should be shared so that confused and paranoid mums, like how I was previously, will be able to experience motherhood in the most enjoyable way.
