10 days old and 4.3 kg

The nurses from KD Limbanak came over after lunch yesterday. I was shocked to find that my son had gained approx 750 g over ten days. How amazing is that?

Well that is what you get from a continuously drinking, peeing and pooing baby. In the first few days he was consistently attached to me. Which was different to during my Kiddo's time. I guess it was because this time my milk took a while to come. My baby would pee and poo sooo often I was wondering if I should start plugging his behind to stop things from coming out. Anyhoo... although he is not as consistently stuck to my breast now, he would pee as soon as after feeding. I would basically go through more than ten nappies per twelve hours with this kid. Luckily I have someone to help me witht he washing.

I was also planning my baby's full moon. Guess what? His full moon falls bang in the middle of the Ramadhan month. Oh dear. My MIL and I decided to push it back to two months later. So I do not have to be so busy yet.

I still have a nagging feeling I should start doing some work now. Geez... I have been so happy not thinking about work... aw all good things will come to an end.

How did they find a Gem of a Guy?

This blog is not a reference point to give a tried and true method of finding a Gem of a Guy but just a sharing of experience. I have talked to a few friends who had good solid marriages and I summarised what I learned from them in this blog. I wrote it as a continuation to my last blog on why do good girls choose bad boys? Every time I met a friend who had a very steady and good husband I never failed to ask them how they found these guys. The first thing they always say is that they never liked their present husbands initially and that they had other choices whom they preferred more. However their present husbands did not give up pursuing them for months or years. These men did not stop showing them how much they were cared for. These men came to visit the family and genuinely tried to show how they appreciate them in front of their families and friends. These men were not self centered. These men would try and know your likes and dislikes. Eventually the genuine care was evident. ...

The biggest challenge

The challenges I had in my life were numerous. I come from a very average family. We had food on the table. We had the hand me down clothes. To aspire for a change in life meant I needed to work harder than I ever did. So I did. I worked hard at school for 5 years to get myself eligible for a scholarship. I faced failure after failure to get a decent grade to be able to continue for a degree. I worked hard to get my postgraduate scholarships. Went through so much downs and still I stood up again to just finish what I started. I stand here now thinking if I did all that why is it so hard to do this one thing. To forgive the unforgivable. My insides are all in pain. I want to set myself free. I want to forgive. I want to move on. Lord God in all my travels and adventure I never stopped talking to you. Today more than any other time I implore you to help me forgive.

Metamorphosis

Today is two weeks.. Two weeks of what? I let you guess. It is just sufficient to state that. I never thought I would have to do this. Make such changes in my life and my children's life. I have no choice. In my mind's eye, I never imagined this picture. How can I live?... I tell you what. I do it day to day, week by week, fortnightly by forthnightly.... soon it will be year by year and decades by decades.. By that time, I probably be glad I did this. Pain and time. Time helps heal all pain. I hope that is true. The pain is unimaginable. The pain is great. I pray for peace and calmness in my soul, Joy and Happiness for my kids. I can do this... I can take this role. I can metamorph into this... just give me time... I have to picture this clear in my head. I have to make this picture strong that I succeed and I triumph over adversity. God give me the strength to change what I can change, give me patience, guidance, protection and love.
