9 days of parenthood

This is the 9th day of motherhood. I must say, it is a really steep learning curve..
almost everyday I am learning something new about my baby, how to take care of the baby, how to recognise the needs of my baby, went through emotion roller coaster when baby got to be warded because his jaundice level was pretty high, how to burp the baby, how to check whether is he hungry, how to breast feed, how to increase milk supply and etc etc etc.

And of cos, the shiong-est part of all is the 3 hourly feeding, esp night feeding. The first few nights of night feeding nearly drove me and gerald mad... cos we were still trying to find out justin's drinking pattern, and we did not know how much was sufficient for him and whether was he even drinking.


But having said all that, I must say, parenthood, or rather, motherhood, has been a fulfillin experience so far.... no matter how tough it is, the moment when i see a grin or smile on Justin's face, all tiredness is worth it. Just like this:
