My baby is 1month old

Okay, so I have stepped into motherhood for 1month now. How does that feel? Excited still, but also tiring. My little one really takes up alot of my energy and time. And that really leaves very little time for me and my hubby.

But all is well so far. Love holding her in my arms and when is she cooing back at me.
I will cherish these moments cos before I know it, she will be running around and I would be running after her.

My hubby, the super-daddy!! ^-^

As we brought baby Angela home, I was thinking about many things. Can we cope? What if she cries, what do I do? Is everything ok? and bla bla bla.

The first night turns out ok and so is the second night but the following days were bit horrifying. Angela couldn't stop crying and both my hubby and my mom were so busy pacifying her to make her go to sleep. I was too tired to muster any energy to take care of her and I just lay there on my bed feeling helpless. Turns out, my little one had some discomfort at the gums. After being treated by the doctor, she is like an angel now.

Still , the mid-night shift is my hubby's job and I must say, he is doing a greater job than I am. He wakes up whenever the baby cries, prepares the milk, feed her, burp her and lull her to sleep. Awww... I feel so proud to have such a supportive hubby. Besides taking care of his little baby, he also has to take care of his BIG baby, ME! keke.

My hubby, Bat-Erdene, I am so so proud of you for being such a wonderful daddy. Thanks for the encouragements and support you have given me so far. Makes me feel stronger day by day. I am sure, Angela will grow up to be a caring person just like her daddy.

Muakss, my love. Bi chamd hairtai!!!

The adoring grandparents

My parents has upgraded to become grandparents!!! A first for them and I can see that they are really happy beyond words. My mom helped me to take care of Angela whilst my dad would come into my room a few times a day to have a look at his grandchild. It was really a heart-warming moment to see these adoring grandparents playing with their grandchild but which also bring tears to my eyes.

Knowing that I would be leaving Malaysia in a few months' time, I pity my parents having to let go of their grandchild and probably won't be able to witness her growing process. I feel bad for doing this to them but living in Mongolia is a path I chose for myself.

One day, my daddy came into the room and looked at Angela. He said ,"Little princess. Look at you. But too bad you would have to leave us in a few months' time." He then turned and spoke to me ;" Leave her here.hehe" Although he said it jokingly, I couldn't forget what he said and everytime I think bout it, I just cry. Sometimes I think I'm really cruel for doing this to them but I had to choose where I would like to settle down. Where it is best for my baby and for my hubby. It's not just me now and I hope that they can understand my decision.

Here comes our princess

25.10.2011 marks the day my hubby, Bat-Erdene and myself stepped foot into the world of parenthood. Our baby, Angela Bat-Erdene was born at 0518am weighing 3.4kg. The labor didn't last long but it took away all the strength that I had. When the mid-wife put her on my chest, I could only look at her and smile. I could barely move my hands to even touch her then the mid-wife took her away to clean up and I fell asleep again.

Having inhaled too much entonox during episiotomy made me so groggy up till noon that day that I couldn't even take care of my baby. Even when the nurses came to my bed to check on me, they all asked the same question, Ok ke tak budak ni? (Is this girl ok?)

but by noon, I was much stronger and when my hubby and mom came to see me, I was well enough to talk to them and have a real look at my baby,

The feeling of holding her in my arms was overwhelming. I think it was the same too for my mom and my hubby. Looking at her sleeping peacefully brought tears to my eyes and made me wonder, how in the world did this miracle happen? It is a magical moment indeed.
