Dear God

Heads up. This post has nothing to do with my lil miss A. I'm just writing about this to make me feel better

I just heard a sad piece of news. As i mentioned earlier, I'm staying at my parents house. As our usual habit hubs and i spoke before sleeping. And he just told me something so sad.

There was a lil boy born in our complex a few days ago. Maybe ten days ago or so. I remember my mil telling me to sms the phone nos of the ladies who come to give a bath to the babies. That little precious boy passed away. Can you imagine? A precious little piece of someone's world just passed away. This has made me feel so heartbroken. I cannot imagine what the mom must be going through. She must have spun so many dreams for her through these nine months. And her husband, the boy's father. He must have made his own dreams too. He must have thought to cherish his wife and his little baby. Imagine the grandparents. They must have been waiting to see the baby of their babies. Its such a terrible thing to happen. I cannot stop crying.

It seems that the baby was unwell fro birth but why God why and how can this happen to a small baby? I understand that God must have thought the best, maybe the baby would have suffered had he lived. Maybe this is His plan. But at this moment its the most chilling thing i have ever heard. I've tried to distract myself, watch some tv, read, but its just not going out of my head.

And I'm realising i have so much to e thankful for. Thank you God for making miss a healthy. Be with her, keep her safe and give us the strength to keep her safe, sound and healthy. Keep all babies healthy. The ones i know and also the ones i don't know. Babies are meant to be happy. They are so innocent. Please please keep them happy and safe. Once the babies are happy, the parents will automatically be happy. There's nothing like a baby's smile to make the worst day feel nice.

I realise i might be grumpy at times, at times i might not say thank you to God enough. But please God you know you are constantly in my heart. Please know that all parents just want their babies. Please keep them happy.

Miss A i love you so much. I'm thankful that you smile, it makes my whole day amazing. In thankful that you squirm wen i m dressing you up, it means you are healthy. I'm thankful you cry because it means your lungs are good. I'm grateful for every dirty diaper bcoz it means you are digesting the food we give you.

I might get tired and exhausted at times but even that exhaustion I'm grateful God.

Please please bless that family again. Please make them happy again.

Everyone please be thankful. And pray for that family to get through this tough time

Mommy

its been so long since i wrote a post from my laptop! whew.....but today finally.....finally after what seems like a decade, i am posting from my laptop.......oh sweet laptop how i missed u!

but enough lament about my laptop and me. i m here to post about something else. rather someone else. my mum. for the past few days i have come to stay at my parents'. it feels awesommme! just nice and comfy to stay at parents post delivery. my mum has been doing just about EVERYTHING for me. diaper changes, minding the baby while i rest, a great masseuse, cooks the most yum food that i love,  burping miss A once i finish feeding her, or feeding her with bottles, looking after the thousand guests we have, i dont even know where the list starts and ends. she is caring, giving and most wonderful and always takes care of her family.

its such a great blessing to have a great mama. miss A hearts her aai. she chats with her for hours - giving me some time off! she is the best blessing i have ever had.

i am the MOST grateful to God for giving me the BEST mother ever. hope to be atleast half as this good to my miss A!

TWO MONTHS OLD

My sweet lil miss A has turned two months old yesterday. I did the obvious sticker in onesie celebration. But my poor lil baby has to get her DPT shots yesterday. Sad moment. But my brave l trooper just wailed once. Mama shed a few secret tears. But my baby was okay as soon as daddy held her. Even the doctor remarked that we have a brave girl.

At tiny two my baby does:
- stares at the fan for long periods. She holds a conversation with the fan.
- holds conversations with her aai.
- has learned to jump. So she pushes her feet with all her might and tries to go behind.
- supports her head slightly better.
- responds so well to my name. As soon as someone calls out to me, miss A is all alert and ready to stare.
- doesn't want to be held all the tome. Infact at times she wants her own space and loves to be on the bed.
- if someone's holding her, but not talking to her, miss A coos at them to get them talking to her.
- when i say 'hi' 'hello' to her, she opens her mouth in a eee and ooo shape. This has happened a considerate no of times so i know its not a happy coincidence.
- poor child is still colicky.
- holds her neck steady. At this age she really advanced
- weighs 4.4 kgs that's about ten oz
- is 56 cms long
- has learned to spit her milk out for fun.
- the cutest thing when she's crying for milk and i put a bib on her, she immediately knows that the bottles coming so she calms down and opens her mouth for a feed.
- loves her massage before a bath.
- can use both nb size and s size diapers. Awww switching from nb to small is surely a milestone!!!
I love it. I love my lil two month old. Love you baby

Happy New Year

Wish you all the happiness in 2013

Sweet

Awwwww one of the sweetest moments ever. I'm lying down besides baby A and trying to get her to take a nap. She was making some weird sounds so i looked at her. And miss thing just dropped her paci and smiled at me. Awwwww

Ok now she's wailing but that was a sweet moment. Had to be documented. Love you baby girl.
