Changes in Life

by

One month ago, Darling move on to a new company and it’s a new job this time. It is more or less still in the same specialization but from a fixed working hours to working on shift.

It significantly impacted both of us….our actions, thoughts and feelings.

At night, the bed is all mine and Jonathan’s. At day time, the bed is all his and Jonathan’s.  We barely see talk to each other for more than 3 hours each day.

It adds on more worries. You won’t be able to doze off peacefully until you sees his SMS that tells you he had reached the office safely. The next morning you may be wondering if he would be too sleepy to drive home.

No more chauffer to send me to work or for late night shopping. Ok Julie, it’s time to be independent! But I’m still not good in parking ler. Darling says when you heard a bang then you know your mistake. Isn’t it too late by then?

All activities must be planned ahead now. Good thing is that he can help run some errands in the day time.

Oh no!  Not all things can be planned. How am I going to handle when #2 decides to see the world in the night?  Perhaps I should bring Jonathan along to ante-natal class so that he can take over Daddy’s job if Daddy can’t make it on time.

Taking care of Jonathan alone is not a problem as he is an easy boy to take care of.  Will it be the same when #2 comes? Praying hard that #2 is as tough as Jonathan and praying also that Jonathan will be a great helper to Mommy in taking care of #2.

Am I thinking too much? Any Mommy/Daddy out there is going through the same thing as I am or maybe worst?

I am glad and thankful that I have my sis staying next door.  Surely, when #2 comes, there will be more changes and challenges in life be it easy or tough ones.  But we believe that with our trust in God, He will make rough path a smoother one.

On Becoming Mommy’s Boy

by

Rule #1. “Put your hands together, close your eyes and pray…” before meal and bedtime. (But he doesn’t close his eyes but bow down his head instead. Sometimes I’ll do a spot check by peeping at him if he curi makan or not. He didn’t! Amen!)

Rule #2.  Have meals always on the high chair and not in front of the TV.

Rule #3. Buckle up when you are on your high chair. (more of Daddy’s rule)

Rule #4.  Wipe your dirty hands and mouth with a hankerchief and not your clothes. (Do you wipe your tongue too? He does!)

Rule #5.  No wasting of milk and bring the bottle to the kitchen after you had finished it. (But I wonder why they always left 1 or 1/2 oz milk unfinished)

Rule #6.  Keep the toys before you go out kai-kai and before leaving the living room for bedtime. (But not all the time coz sometimes I don’t have the patience to wait for him or when we are short of time)

Rule #7.  Abide when daddy or mommy says “Let’s go”. (Else there comes the “magic stick”)

Rule #8.  Wear your shoe when you are out from the house and make sure you wears it right.

Rule #9.  Sit in the shopping cart always and no running around the supermarket.

Rule #10.  Stand up by yourself when you tripped/fell.

Rule #11.  Put your dirty clothes in the laundry basket.

Rule #12.  Take and eat the biscuit one at a time. No eating like a Garfield.

Rule #13.  Always on your car seat. Cry and fuss will not release you from it.

Rule #14. Clear your toys that are in the bath tub after bath. (He sticks the fish foams on the wall and put the rest in the basin)

Rule #15. Comb your hair after bath. (I used to comb for him but beginning to let him comb himself now. Of course I still have to complete the job for him)

 

So, how well did he scores? I’ll give him 95%.  What happened to another 5%? Well, that goes to his tantrum, temper, laziness and not paying attention.

Something to Share…

While I’m still drafting my next post, I would like to post this up on my Cyberhome as a gesture of thank you to someone out there.

She was the first mommy blogger that sent Jonathan pressie on his 1st birthday. That year, we exchanged gifts on our son’s birthday and Christmas. It so happen that both our boys’ birthday falls on the same month and just few days apart.

This year, I reminded myself to send pressie to her son before his birthday. But that never happened because the pregnancy hormone made my memory gone wild and made me restless. And so her boy’s present is still sitting on my desk…unwrap even. Nevertheless, she still remember us. I was happy when she dropped me a note that she’s sending over a pressie for Jonathan’s 2nd birthday. So sweet and thoughtful of her.

My dear friend, I thank God for you. May God bless you and your family with happiness always.

Another of God’s Blessing

The Almighty One above has planted a “seed” in our family and we will be harvesting the “fruit” in March next year. 

This time was so much different from the first experience. I get all the symptoms and taste buds gone wild. It’s either the hormones is making up or age is catching up. 

God has never failed to bless me with the good things. Having all these discomfort, I am thankful for Darling. He took over most of the responsibilites. Washing up after meals and taking care of Jonathan from bathing to his meals to cleaning up his poo poo and making his milk, except putting him to sleep because this little boy only wants Mommy’s sweet smell.  🙂
