Half Way Through Confinement

Today is my 14th day after delivery.

Pui Yit will be going back in another 2 more weeks.

Sob! Sob! I have gotten really spoilt and contented in having someone in the house to help me. It is nice too having company. I feel safe and someone mothering me!

Have to admit that I haven't been a good 'mummy' during this confinement. I always forget to wear my slippers and socks. I wash the plates and cups eventhough she will be yelling at me to just put it in the sink. Been touching alot of cold water. I washed my hair after the 5th day of delivery. I bathed after coming back from the hospital. I went out to Tesco one week after delivery. I drove and sent Ryan to school 5 days after delivery.

Just worried of the 'after' effects... like bone pain, back pain etc. if I don't take care now. But somehow, what about those mothers who don't have maids or confinement ladies??? Surely they too have to run the household right after childbirth... whether they like it or not.

I guess I shouldn't be so stubborn... since I have some 'help' for a month, I should utilise it, right?

Just because I feel fine and dandy now, doesn't mean few years down the road, I won't have any bodyaches attributed from not taking care after childbirth?

Allyson is awake now. She had a nice long sleep since 7.30am... will go and play with her now before I fetch her Kor-Kor from school!
