Starting again...

It has been a while since that last entry of mine. I was quite busy, with the baby, and now resuming work. Sleep deprivation has been a game I master since the day Irdina was born. But now, she’s getting the momentum of living outside the womb. She’s doing great and playing with her is really fun, great fun.

She’s asleep right now. Actually, she has been sleeping since 5pm, ‘woke up’ at 6.55pm to breastfeed and continues on sleeping. She has learned to sleep ‘through’ the night (typical meaning of the word through the night = a series of 2-3 hours of sleeps from night till morning).

As for me, I am still in a recuperating mode, but coping just fine. I have not done any exercise except for carrying a now 5.53kgs baby since I gave birth. I have not even checked my weight. I am waiting for the once in a while pain to subside ultimately. When will this happen? Soon, hopefully.

I have not updated the old wives tales blog down there but will do so soon. I can only do chores while Irdina is sleeping. And to be frank, she seems to only sleep at night, and at night, I’d be sleeping too. So, active blogging would be withheld for a while. I’d be logging in once in a while though, to share things worth sharing.

Last Thursday, I went to work, and it was great to meet everybody again. At last, something fresh, after 2.5 months of staying at home. But I do miss the baby, a lot. That day, I went out at 10.45 to send back pumped breast milk, ended up not wanting to leave the baby till lunch time is over. It’s hard to leave her at home. If I could bring her to work and do (concentrate on) my work as usual, I’d bring her (as if it’s allowed!!!)…

My Contract ends next month. Shukri has not started applying the extension but he has been asking around, especially the TA, Syed. Hopefully everything goes well, or I might have to activate my Plan B. Should I need to start the Plan B, I’d be taking my May leave to move things. It would be great to be near Sepu all the time!

Actually, I start to write again after that hint from Sheridan. Then I realized, I was so obsessed with the baby and forgotten about lots of things. That’s why Sepu keeps complaining that I love Irdina more than him… ahahaha… I love you sayang, more than words can say, even more than before Irdina was born… Irdina needs the most delicate attention right now. We’ll improve soon, don’t worry. I am not only overjoyed, but also in an over-fatigue state right now. Give me some times ok? We’ll again enjoy doing things that has been left forgotten since my pregnancy… Go on vacation for example? GO Korea GO!

Need to stop now… I got something to do before I myself go to sleep. Irdina is in her NREM state, and I could not wait to join her… take care…
