Mummy, wai po and drago has come and gone.

It was one very short week.

Too short.

Too short because I know it was not enough time for them to spend together and to get to know my little one better.

But such is life.

We'll deal.

I loved watching them love on my baby boy.

There's something special about unconditional love that family have for new additions.
Even though I had to bite my tongue a couple of times.
[for example, wai po asked me to feed X ribena. i was shell-shocked. how is ribena more nutritious and better for my little one than my breastmilk? i'm not introducing useless sugars to my baby boy until he is at least a year old thank you very much.]

Next up, ah ma and baby sister in less than 3 weeks!

On a separate but related note,

we're coming back on a brief holiday soon!

Like really soon.

17th May to 4th June.

That's about as much time baby can take off from work without jeopardising much in terms of income and prospect.

We haven't yet booked the tickets, but those dates are pretty much confirmed.

It would have been 15 months since I last stepped foot on home soil and I am REALLY looking forward to it.

The last time I was home, we were still childless.

This time I return with a new baby in my arms.

And we picked 17 May because my dear lil sister is going off for 2 whole months to Costa Rica on the 20th,

so I wanted to make sure I didn't miss seeing her, at least a couple of times before she leaves.

:)

Maybe I can celebrate my birthday one week early before returning to Melbourne,

and get my 6 different flavours of sara lee pound cake as my birthday cake.

yuuummmm....

let's see.

original, chocolate, chocolate swirl, chocolate chip, strawberry, coffee.

I'm sure I'm missing out a couple.

Perhaps 9 different flavours then?

:p

I'm sure things will be immensely stressful when back in SG on holiday with X,

but I'm going to prepare myself mentally, to deal with it.

X's 6pm bedtimes will be compromised on most days I'm sure.

He will also miss out on one or two of his naps.

He would become overtired and cranky some days.

I just have to tell myself to roll with it and it'll be over in 2 short weeks.

We can work hard at recovering after that.

Hopefully.

It would mean sleepless nights.

But hopefully being home will be worth it.

Seeing the people I love and introducing them to my baby boy.

Can you tell I'm rather confused about how I'm feeling now?

:p
