Back to Reality

The confinement lady has left and Dominic is back to work (weeks ago). I now have 2 kids to care for. I must say it is really a challenge. I am lucky to get to clean my teeth by noon and have my shower by 11pm. The kids always have their demand...
Yesterday, Chloe was making a fuss after her feed. When I tried to carry her, she continues fussing. I had enough of her 'unreasonable' demand and decided to let her cry her heart out. So, I put her on her baby cot and watched the time. It was 10.10pm. I just lied down and watch her to make sure she doesn't vomit and choke herself. She cried for 10 mins and take a breather for 5 mins. Then she continued crying and take another breather. She keeps doing that until 10.47pm and finally goes to sleep! I suppose that is not too bad considering this is her first time. On another note, she has grown quite a fair bit. Think she doubles her birth weight. Will get the official measurement when she goes for 2 months check-up and vaccination.

Meanwhile, Lucas missed his 'comfort' zone. We spent a few days at my parent's house and he is glad to be home. He missed his cars and bicycle and the cartoon channel, Playhouse Disney. Schools starts Sept 1 and I have to figure out how to send him to school with Chloe in tow. Lucas has been 'bum-ming' on our bed since Chloe's birth. It is going to be another training to get him to sleep on his own room. The last time, it took me 3 months to train him to go to sleep on his own room. Another 3 months this time round?

As for myself, I have 4 kgs to shield.......
