hello cyberworld!
it has been ages since my last post. a lot of things happened and felt so much blessed with all the things that happened.
my life has changed and so as my husband, as we welcome our bundle of joy, trixcelle elisha.
she was born last october 29 at the capitol medical center. she weighed 7.7 lbs. ( yep, she's one heavy baby! ), with length of 52cm. these statistics is somehow surprising for me since both my husband and i are not endowed with gift in the height department :D well.. maybe recessive genes...
and yesterday, she turned 1 month and i couldn't believe that time flies that fast ( well not during the times when i was so overwhelmed with the responsibilities of being a mom). and man, it's so tiring yet when she smiles -- though she does it unknowingly -- it makes my heart melt. during the first 2 weeks, it felt like hell for me. husband went back to his overseas job and i was left alone here in the philippines. my mother, though she really was giving her all effort to help me, is not of much help. she couldn't dance the baby ( which is the primary vice of baby isha ) and i was really struggling when baby isha started to cry. i didn't know what to do. i have no siblings and didn't had any experience with taking care of a baby. i was so stressed and felt so irritated. but slowly, now i am becoming better. i'm now much aware that baby cries. and now i have a virtual checklist at the back of my mind everytime she cries. is the diaper wet? is she hungry? has she burped? is her nose stuffed? does she feel hot? are her clothes comfortable? but usually the reason for her crying is that she's hungry. i tried to breastfeed her as much as i can but my milk doesn't suffice her needs so i have no choice but do mixed feeding. her appetite is really good.
i'll pause here for now and will try to continue my stories in another entry, another day. baby isha is now moving and in a while she'll be awake.
p.s. ayan rose, hehe meron na akong update :D will try to narrate my labor story in another entry =)
