mums are the best!
it was mummy's birthday on monday, and since we couldn't go out for a nice meal the fact that i'm still on confinement and we now have a baby terror to manage, we decided to order in pizza on sunday so that she gets a break from all the cooking and washing - at least for a day! the hubby also managed to sneak out to buy a cake in her favourite blackforest flavour. :-)
i think my mum has sacrificed alot the past few weeks; she has to give up her morning walks (used to be daily!) and pickle-ball game to take care of the baby and me. the amount of household chores is indeed tremendous, and i would say my mum is indeed super efficient to be able to do everything (and still monitor the stock market!) - cooking for the whole family (including special confinement food for me), cleaning of the house, doing the laundry (she wakes up at wee hours in the morning to do laundry 'cos there's just so much to wash), preparing my longan/red date tea and lemongrass/ginger bath, helping to feed/change/bathe the baby as much as she can ('cos i merely mentioned once that my forearm muscles were kinda aching), washing of the bottles and breast pump shields almost all the time ('cos i'm not supposed to touch water), etc. there's also the constant nagging for me to wear my socks and slippers, no washing of hands with cold water, and to try to sleep whenever i can (less facebook and blogging, haha!), etc. perhaps having a confinement lady is a better idea... well, to be considered when the next kiddo comes along!
baby ashley in a red babygap rompers (no more pink!) - i think she is full of funny expressions and poses for a 2-week old!
