Adjusting to Motherhood

Have not been updating the blog as often as i would like. Many of u would have guessed, i simply dun have the time. Taking care of Athena basically took up 24/7 of my time. But now slowly adjusting to her habit and temper.

Nevertheless, i have crossed one hurdle. Her full-mth happened last weekend. Her lunar date is on Sat. So after discussion with my mom, we decided to bring her temple-visiting on sat. As i have quite a bit of bleeding at my initial stage of pregnancy, my mum has prayed for me and bb during that period of time. So we brought Athena to these temples to say our thanks :) Yup, still a cheena, traditionalist at heart :P

On sun (which is her English date of full mth), we had the usual buffet lunch for relatives and i had a small mini gathering for some of my close frens. As Fabian's relatives are always very supportive of such events, the turnout was huge! But it's good that there are so many pp cos' everyone wants to carry the bb, they relieved me of this chore for the whole day... hahaa... i only served one purpose, being the cow every 2 hours. Cos' of the huge crowd, she has problem taking her usual naps and was really cranky and demand the "pacifier" every other time. :(

Anyway, after cropping at hm for one whole mth with only the baby, i was really glad to have some good company. Even managed to gossip with my close colleague abt the proposal she got from her bf and with her showing off the HUGE ring . Yes, she finally got wat she wanted. She've been waiting this day for so long.... i cant wait for her to fix a date and so i can start dieting to look good for her BIG day.

For those who are interested, i had the Indo massage, similar to Malay massage but supposedly better. Not cheap, 6 sessions for $450... but cos' i had c-sec, supposedly have alot of "wind" so she recommended 10 sessions..... it cost a whopping $750.... need to claim this from hubby... he promised. heeheee.... not too bad. stomach smaller but i still have 7 kg to go.... need to work harder but i cant simply find time to do crunches. Now i understand when my elder sisters always tell me they dun have time to tone their flabby tummy..... My retribution....
