I'm glad u came

Back to sch today and it marks the end of my stay at home mum experience.

Missing Sophie girl girl now! Been a bittersweet 17 months inclusive of the time she was conceived and in my tummy heh!

Cant believe we managed to get through that together and now a bigger huddle! Coping with baby, household and work.

For the past 8 months; at home with Sophie
Great things!
1. Watching her literally grow bigger and taller!
2. Getting cheeky! Sticking out her tongue
3. From spinning around her cot to flipping and now crawling and climbing!
4. Feeding milk to solids! Hands flipping everywhere- high chair manners
5. Looking out for us when she is in an unfamiliar place

Not so great stuff( if I can re- do)
1. Natural delivery instead of c-section
2. Breastfeeding for a longer period
3. Bringing her out more often ( she enjoys outing)

For now, xin and myself will enjoy our parenthood before she grows too fast too quicky!

Love our little tan family!

Just the three of us

Our domestic helper has left yesterday so now the bulk of the household chores will fall on me and xin unless our Sophie can do the work heh.

She used to work for my mum for 2 years before she went back to get married. She was a capable worker but alas with a different boss, she displayed different attitude. Oh well, she just got to go when her demands were too frequent.

I guess I would also have to keep myself in check because there are times when the manner I speak turns out offensive too. I want to be a good role model for Sophie.

Just wondering how to tackle all the housework and everything else?
