Confinement, Bb full month & My Achievement

First of all, Happy 2008 new year to all of you! May all wishes come true.....

I've completed my 3 weeks of confinement and there's another 1 more week to go. Yippie...ending soon.

So sick and tired of eating confinement food and I missed drinking double cold coke and ribena. My daily 3 meals consists of either chicken, pork, egg, veg, fish and more fish with lots of sesame oil and fried ginger. Every morning without failed, a bottle of chicken essence is a must and every night a small cup of DOM wine. I'm grateful to my MIL in doing this confinement for me, cook and brew tonic for me, bathe and wipe baby morning and evening and also help in doing the washing for us. Hub had been asking me if we still need her to stay and help after that 1 month, been thinking and we discussed that probably we can get her to help out another 2 weeks as we need to get used to doing everything ourself.

Baby full month party is on this Saturday, 5th Jan 08 but my official completed confinement date is on 9th Jan, which is 1 full month after baby birth lunar date of 十一月初二. Looking forward to this date as I can finally bring baby to my parents place. We are bringing baby to 拜拜 and after that to my parents place and stay there for the day. So missed going to AMK. How I wished I can go there now.
Btw, will be going to have my hair cut this Friday and collect those ordered ang ei, ang gu kueh and cakes in the evening. So glad its only 3 days more to Friday....Hoorray.

I would also like to mark this day cause I've bathed baby Kayden this morning myself as my MIL had went out for new year prayers in their temple. So proud of myself as I've never bathe any newborn before. Although abit worried and 'kalangkabo' that I might slipped holding him when he's in the tub but luckily I didnt....phew....Hehe...Hope i've bathed and rubbed him clean, anyway, if not clean baby also won't know how to complain :P Hehe....Baby, mummy need more practise, Ok? Jia You for me!
