Coming to 5th Month

 Can't seem to remember the last time i had a good sleep.  During my pregnancy, I had been waking every nights to go to the toilet. Beside my own bed, toilet was my next best friend. 

And a few months had passed, Baby Rayner is going 6 months tomorrow. Looking back at my blog, i have not updated anything during my maternity leave. Everyday passed so quickly that i never keep track of anything. Baby Rayner occupies 90% of my time everyday and 10% of time dedicated to do housework. I can't seem to also remember the last time i had constructive conversations with my husband. During our free time when baby is sleeping, we hardly ever talk like we used to because it was only free time we had our own me-time. But that doesn't make me or him love each other lesser. Our once-romantic love had evolved into 'being responsible and commitment' love. 

This is family. And having a family is happy and tiring.

So, I had returned to work last month and never had been even busier. And all the more busier as company is still implementing the WFM policy.

But first, Happy soon to be 6th Month to Baby Rayner.

Wonder who he takes over more

Baby Rayner is growing well. During the last jab , Doctor said that he was 7.4 kg and 66 cm. He is a 75th percentile which makes him a big baby. Doc was kind enough that he didn't use the word : Fat. Well, almost everyone who sees him says that he is chubby. Those are just kind words and we appreciate that. 

Most of the time he is a good boy. He only fuss when he wants milk and sleep. I latches him to sleep which all the more makes me tired but i guess this is all worthwhile. I can't shy away from mom duties just because im tired right? Afterall, breastmilk is the best food for him and i hope to provide him up till 1 year old. I am halfway through breastfeeding journey and i am hanging on. I heard from many moms that they missed latching their babies because they do not latch anymore when they are older. To be honest, my breastfeeding journey is not easy and there are many times i wanted to give up. Having a supportive hubby and environment really help to spur you on the tough journey. I do agree that breastfeeding is a lonely journey, but with the right encouragement, i made it though for the first few months. I am also glad that i have a baby who knows how to suck.

Tummy time

Baby Rayner is learning to flip but with countable successful attempts. He like to have fun and will laugh at silly mimics. His laughter is so innocent and infectious. Mum and dad just smile because you do. During the past months, i have been re-packing his clothes again and again, putting away those small ones and washing up the bigger sizes. He is no longer an infant and it makes me miss those days. Now i understand why everyone say : wah so fast! 

To everyone's eye, it is an overnight thing but to parents like us, it is the days and nights which we went through, the hard times when baby refuses to sleep or drink, the days when we had to bath him and re-bath him because he pee in the bath tub, the clothes we have to wash almost daily to ensure he has fresh clothes etc. But it was all fun. 

Happy birthay to papa.

We celebrated my hubby birthday at Mariott South Bridge in April. Hope my hubby did enjoy himself. It was a 3 days 2 night to wind down from our busy life. 

Last month love booked a staycation st MBS on my birthday. I was feeling so excited since it been a while had staycation for my birthday. 

We had a great time though i had to make him sleep at night. 

He loves it when dad carries him like this. He is one such lovable boy. He seems easy going enough and does not afraid so strangers (so far). He loves to explore and always looking for daddy to have fun. 

Now as a mum, my perspective of what a family needs is stability. I love my hubby and son to the core. Nothing beats the comfort a home even if you have a bad day. And i hope Baby Rayner will grow up in a happy, warmth and safe environment. Mum and dad will always be there for you.

And to my hubby who (maybe doesn't) read my blog. Thanks for the nice stayca. It costs a bomb but even so, after so many years, you still continue to splurge on me. Love you since Day 1 and more. You have been a great dad since Baby born 

I know baby will be as mischievous as you in the future

Alright,signing off here
