It has been ages since I got time 2 spare 4 tis.....I must admit tat I almost forgot that, I have a web confidante, lol anyway, le me get back, filling for those many months that I was off the web… I have a new baby who keeps me really busy.
There were moments that I've mustered to myself wondering ,if i would be able to love another kid....after 4 years of being with one n only Abel. I've asked almost a dozen moms of my generation...n they all said yeah u would...but it seemed hard to digest.Must hav been the same for all of them too...lol anyways, I'm so in love with my girl.
there were days n times when i thought.... I kinda understood wat post partum blues wud be like....it seemed hard, so rough that i could not see past that stage at times. if there was one thing that kept me on, it was the promises I got as I read the scriptures...all HE asked me was a little faith !!!!!N yea....it seemed too much but HE just did it...
Anyways I just can't stop thanking god for what HE has done ....it took me almost 9weeks to heal...ter were days i looked at Aigail..n confessed out 'one day we'll walk hand in hand' ..the umbilical cord infection almost broke n tore me. Though there was a sense of assurance. I couldn’t just handle it well...i was in pain. Seeing my baby in pain was much more than mine...n it was like one after the other after the other....there were things like...latching problem, then to less supply, then to abundant supply n engorgement...gosh!!!!
Sleepless day n nights i must say....nothing could comfort me at times...there was a comfort but the pain was unbearable. I’m thankful that with HIS grace, I could hold on. Well it did seem like i would slip away holding on...but it was those mighty arms that held me....even though it looked like i would fall off...
Dad n mum was my biggest support thee months …I must have hurt them by words, but just want to thank god for them. if it was not for them it would have been a total different story...!! Mummy was day n night by my side....in fact she slept less n worked more than anyone else around ..
I have such a selfless mom. Through the night, u could see her sitting on the bed n holding Abbie, keeping her nappy area open n dry…..as she had bouts of rash !!!
Who else wud be so giving???
Didn’t take them to see around he places for which i still feel so bad abt...We were at home full time doing nothing but tending to baby gailll. It was so sad to see them leave....I've never loved hem so much n felt so helpless in many ways...I din want to make them feel sad. Had so many questions in my mind as hey left..
We moved in to our permanent villa by the end of December.....bejee joined us end of December I attended an interview on 5h Jan....it was sad that I got a regret letter from them :(( it hurt so much the first night but the next day morning i was back to normal.
Jan 6th mom n dad left to India...it was so tough managing the home...with a newborn, toddler, a daddy, mummy n uncle...i had my part time maid to do the cooking but i till didn’t have much time on my hands...n my baby kept crying all the time....
By end of Jan B's mom was home for a week ....she stayed back after the wedding anniversary..:) by then my maid came from india..2weeks of feb has passed...my baby hs been asked to use a set of creams ....yeas he has infantile seborrhea, doc has asked me to stop oil n cream n soap for 20 days..
Feb 14th is like any other day..for us
In the morning B came home at 11...took me out (well for costume hunting!!) to check out for some costumes for Aibz...'Jack n the beanstalk' theme fun day. It was funny, what a waste of time it was, but I got some time with him leaving the kids at home, at an hour we'd never gone out during a working day
it was coincidence that it was valentine's...We'd been given the address of a shop...blame it on miscommunication. On the part of the speaker n the listener...B asked for the shop location..B assumed that the person knew was B was asking...anyways we ended up in a shop asking for costumes. We were like ' do u have any fancy dress' he pointed out to normal outweaar n party wear n told us tat they were 'fancy' !!!! Needless to say that’s when we understood that there was a miscommunication .we came back home after 1 hr of traffic n search ...
By then it was time for my sonny to come. He got around n gave me one big hug n opened his bag n gave me this card. It was so nice to get something from him. Well it was his Ms Norris (Kate Norris) who made them do that @school...but it felt nice n good...
B asked me to be ready for a 2nd round of costume search....n the evening. I was racking my mind to see what could be my plan B incase the costume was not available or too pricey. I made up my mind, wud buy a green tights n fill something to make it look like a bean stalk n fit it around Aibz T-shirt...n pants
B was 2 come by 5..but due to traffic he come by 6..we all rushed out...
In the car again B gave me a pack with 2 things...again I don’t think it was on purpose but B got me a bag n a wall hanging that can hold stuff. Well must say. it was no big a deal but it was nice to get a little gift after one wedding anniversary, a b'day without any so called gifts...We almost furnished the house for my b’day so no chance for gifts n wedding anniversary was a time when my baby was due....
With difficulty finally went to meet the lady...I asked for a giant, bean stalk or...hen. She had hen the price was too reasonable tat i had to take it..
On our way back home we stopped by Anichchs ..as they were leaving to India...nnn....my B had a meeting at 8:30. We didn’t get time to sit together for a meal this day...hahaa...it doesn’t mean anything....after all the business!! He said he wud be back by 10:30 for a light snack...he s one person who wants dinner at 7pm...We couldn’t do this as we were out...
By the time B cam it was 11 ish we were done with dinner n the kids were sleeping. I was sleepy too tat he had 2 ask me to sleep. I woke up at like 2ish wondering n searching for Abigail. B had just walked in after his midnight snack...fruits)...n told e to go back to sleep. I again woke up at 2 am to realize that i forgot to ask/thank B..wanted 2 ask him why he got me the gifts...lol...i hope i will remember 2 ask ..
