The morning started with a feed. She did well, drinking up the 110ml very quickly. I was amazed when I put the teat to her mouth and she wanted more. AFter heating another 30 ml for her to drink, she seemed satisfied, but I could smell that she had a poop. I quickly brought her to be changed... As I was changing her, more poop came out and some of it almost hit the bed! Then as i was so caught up changing her diaper, I did not notice that she had thrown up some milk and it had flowed back into her clothes. I had to change her clothes then and wash her hair as it was covered in milk. When I thought all was done, she refused to nap even with my patting, so I had to feed her some more... She took 90 ml and then dozed off for an hour. During that one hour, i had to pump out my milk and heat up my lunch. Before I knew it, she was up crying again.. This time she had soiled her diaper again and spilt milk on her clothes!! I had to change her again. I had just about changed her when she spilt more milk onto the new top... so i had to change her top again!! After that, she looked hungry so she finished the remaining 20 ml in her bottle.
I put her into her rocker for a nap but she refused. I really wanted to cry!! Why was she not sleeping? the last choice resort was to put her to the breast. She took the breast for about 10 mins and dozed off again. I thought she would go to bed then... but it lasted barely 10-15 mins..... In the end i held her in my arms until she slept before putting her in the rocker. Thank goodness that worked! She has been sleeping from 2pm till now (4.30pm). I managed to sneak in a nap and even read the news on the net. Now as I write this post, i hear her moving next to me... it's going to start again!
Oh well... anyway, life as a full time mom is really not easy... though everytime I look at her I cannot help but smile. Give me strength to continue! here's her most recent picture. Ain't she cute?
