The mum diary, week 1 ( 6 months)

As the mother of a 6 month old I often find myself struggling with and being thankful for the same things. Sometimes, I feel the need to just vent, while other times I just want to be able to say these lovely things to someone. Since I got pregnant right before the pandemic begin and gave birth right in the middle of it. I have had practically no contact with the world outside my family bubble, my nuclear unit: me, my partner and the bebe. 

So as a necessity, I will be posting these every week from today onward and mention my experiences in bullet points form, in hope that some other woman struggling through and loving the same things about motherhood and their baby. 

AMAZING THINGS MY BABY DID THIS WEEK:

1. He started grabbing spoon while feeding and fed himself 

2. He said "mama"

3. He opened his mouth when I asked 

4. Didn't cry when we were dressing him to go outside 

5. Stayed awake during and enjoyed outing to supermarket.

THINGS I REALLY STRUGGLED WITH THIS WEEK:

1. Putting him to sleep, as he need rocking and walking.  Hands ache.

2. Trying sleep training,  failed miserably. Stubborn child, kept crying for an hour straight.

THINGS I LOVED:

1. The way he smiled.

2. He is a sweet tooth like me

3. Tried saying things

THINGS I HATED:

1. My body can't keep up with the lack of sleep

2. Friend living with us gets to me do much that I am not being as patient as I'd like to with the baby 

3. Did not have enough time, wotk keeps me busy.
