How time flies..my little Sophie is now 14 days old..and it seems that we have had her a lot longer than that. I now understand why we are given maternity leave..there's just soo much to do and before I know it, I am exhausted by the time my head hits the pillow..and this is with the help of a confinement nanny..what am I going to do when she goes off? here's our daily routine :
730am : am woken up by her soft cries. Aunty changes her diaper and brings her to me for her morning feed.
8am : after 3 oz of milk and 3 burping sessions, she is taken by Jin who will play with her while I clean up and get ready for the day.
830am : I have my breakfast and see Jin off. Sophie is usually asleep. I take the time to catch up on emails and bath.
1030 am : She wakes up and cries for her feed. Has her bath time which she loves
1130 am : refuses to sleep so it's a busy time trying to entertain her..aunty does not like her to rock so it's a challenge to get her to sleep. Have to sing to her and carry her around the house. She likes to be cuddled and hates being put down when she's cranky. She's a very curious child and hates missing out on the action so she will do small cat naps and I hv to keep feeding her at funny intervals just to pacify her crankiness.
2pm : nap time for me. I wake up an hour later and try to clear mundane admin stuff as well as entertain Sophie as aunty needs her nap time too.
530 pm : this is usually walk walk time around the condo pool. Sophie enjoys the outdoors. Aunty prepares dinner.
630 pm : dinner time and at this point, Sophie's usually sleeping or having her evening wipe down
9pm : Jin gets back from work and I watch him have his dinner and catch up with him on his day
10 30pm : Sophie wakes up for her night feed and goes back to sleep
130 am : Sophie is brought in for her mid night feed..I usually find it hard to go back to sleep after this..and only sleep again at 3 or 4am
5am : Sophie comes in for her early morning feed..I am very sleepy.
Despite the tiredness, all is forgotten when my little one gives me her sweet smiles. Here are some of my fav pix of Sophie Lim in her 1st 14 days...
