First Few Days Of Baby Tasha

the 1st nite of bringing baby tasha back was horrible.. i didn't expect that it might be that hard.. she woke up the 1st time at nite around 1am, i gave her milk & she went back to sleep & woke up at 3am.. i gave her milk again & she went back to sleep & woke up at 4am, 5am, 6am & 7am! i had a part time maid who had experience to stay with me for the 1st week but i didn't want to wake joanne, as its my child & i had to deal with it.. she didn't sleep all the way till around 10am, when joanne woke up & i passed tasha to her while i got some rest.. till now, she still wakes up on an average of 2-3 hours everynight & day so can u imagine wat kind of rest i'm having.. joanne now comes in the morning at 9+ & leaves around 7pm.. but she has to do the housework too & i won't get rest till she finishes her work & helps me out with the baby..

sometimes i regret having this baby & not concentrating on my career 1st and settle down only till later but this baby is so beautiful that i juz give up all negative thoughts.. i'm now helping my mum work from home & i told my mum to start giving me a salary only when she starts making her money.. i hope i can go back to work when tasha is 1 year old.. my poor hubby has started on his career & he works all the way till 10 or 11pm then reach home & he seldom has an off day as the property market is quite bad now & if he doesn't work hard, he won't get the deals.. he even has to travel everyday to and fro as he's office is in Jurong & we're staying in East Coast.. poor thing rite? i see the changes in him & how much he's willing to sacrifice for this family.. dear, u really grow up liao! lolz! he hasn't even been out for a drink for a long time.. guess i'm quite lucky as he's not the fool-around-kind of hubby..

after my delivery i even drove out on the 3rd day to bring my dog to bath.. my stitches are getting better now & i still fetch my mum back from work on most of the days.. i ordered food from http://www.confinementfood.com/ for 2 weeks (only lunch) as i dun have a confinement nanny & didn't have much 'bu' to take.. but the food was really boring as most of the days, i'll be eating liver or pork ribs.. it cost $380!

i've lost a total of 8kg now & i hope to lose another 6kg by next week? coz its tasha's full month.. i'm around 48kg now.. still fat sia.. i still can't wear most of my pants & i'm wearing my mum's shorts.. i even had a sudden outbreak of pimples & i went to Fancl yesterday to get a pimple cream & supplements for acne.. i've been drinking lots of water too & i need to go to the toilet now & tasha woke up too.. to be continued..

The Birth of Baby Tasha

sorry 4 not blogging 4 a long time.. really si bei shack! me & hubby have decided 1 kid is enough.. i dun tink i'll be able to go through everything again..

actually my estimated delivery date was suppose to be on the 17th april 09.. but i gave birth 2 weeks early, on the 3rd april 09 to a beautiful princess Tasha Ash Tan (陈莠茹）.. i wanted to call her Lauren Ash Tan but i think it sounded too old for her..

i gave birth early becoz when i went for my check up, doctor said my cervix was already 4-5cm dilated.. & i had to induce labour.. (i was dilated & i didn't even know) so i checked in to Eastshore Hospital on the 3rd apr at 9.30am & was induced so my contractions came at about 10.30am & Tasha came out at 1.03pm.. fast rite? lol! when i first saw her i was thinking 'is this my daughter?' she doesn't look like me at all! she look exactly like hubby.. but i tell u the pain is something that u will never experience if u aren't a mum.. and i did natural without epidural coz when i wanted the epidural, it was too late.. little Tasha was born at 3060gms (3kg).. fat rite?

in the middle of the 2 nights, i cried.. guess i was homesick & missed my hubby & mum.. suddenly couldn't take all the good things that was happening to me.. lucky my hubby came early in the morning at 10am & stayed with me till 10pm.. poor him.. more updates lata.. chao!
