Zombie!

I am a walking zombie!

Well, welcome to motherhood all over again!!!

Haha! Whenever I am kept awake by Allyson in the wee hours of the morning, I think of the other mothers in my position right at that moment. Rocking the wide-eyed baby to sleep... getting her to relax for the past one hour... quietly putting her in her crib... and 5 seconds later... her eyes opens!!! And she CRIES!!!

I remember that was the case with Ryan too. But I think Allyson is a more fussy sleeper. But only during the night. Somehow, in the day time, she sleeps easier.

Today is Day No.6 with Allyson alone. The routine has already been established. I still get 'kan-cheong' when she doesn't burp after her feed. I still get 'kan-cheong' when she sleeps past her feeding time during the day.

Last night, I only managed to sleep at 4am. I was so exhausted coz Allyson kept on waking up after I put her in her bed. She was wailing and crying very loudly and uncontrollably at one point... I got worried! But after giving her the pacifier, she quietened down. But when the pacifier came out, she cried again! I thought it may be wind. But it seems okay now. I just attribute it to she was tired and was getting very agitated! When she woke up again at 4 something crying, I just cried to her and begged her to sleep coz I couldn't carry her anymore. I left her in the crib and stroked her forehead and she finally fell asleep! So so relieved!!!

ok.... should be getting rest now since she is napping too. Got to do some housework too. Ah.. will do it slightly later.

Look at that tomato cheeks!!!
