This time last year, we were chillaxing in Langkawi for our babymoon/anniversary and I was anticipating my new life with a baby. Not once though did I imagine I’d be a full time mom, let alone enjoy it, most of the time. This year, we took a staycation at Sentosa – what a strange feeling to be babyfree for 24 hours! We slept in, ate well and talked about our hopes and dreams for the future including the possibilities ahead of us now that both my parents have long term passes and I’ve received my in-principle Singapore citizenship, as well as when to start work and/or try for #2! 🙂 My dad and mom kindly babysat for us — and sent me regular SMS updates, heh.
B unfortunately caught his first bug which laid the entire household out sick for 2 weeks. Just when he was sleeping through the night without too much hassle or training, it all went to shambles. May need to tweak his daily routine to support later morning wake ups (he’s up 5/6a and ready to go, argh), him lasting longer in the afternoons and most importantly, learning to sleep on his own again. At the moment, he still needs 3 naps in the day and sadly, rocking to drift to sleep, else, he’ll get quite cranky. Besides this relapse, there’s much to be thankful for. Feels like he’s growing by leaps and bounds every day:
– Loves swimming but our condo pool isn’t the best for infants. May sign him up for Aquaducks instead
