And it all goes zooooom.
Decided to see if my blog is still up and running coz in some distant galaxy I’d lived for the past 5 months or so! Then while I was editing a website, pops! came the memory that I’d not written in my blog for the longest.
Everything changed since 22 October 2010. I became a daddy, to my beautiful daughter, Giselle.
You know when every other parent says that they grow up so fast, it’s all true. From a little bub, she is now smiling and mumbling, from needing to be coaxed to sleep to wanting to fall asleep on her own, every single little development just shows time had passed, second by second, minute by minute.
I remember the first few weeks was tough! The lack of sleep, the constant feeding (30ml seemed like 30litres! to feed!), the frustration from the constant crying that happens at anytime, the puking. And then followed on by signs of reflux/colic for the next few weeks. It was indeed a test of love and patience 🙂
But all in all, we thank God for a happy baby! She’s fun and playful all the time (minus the feeding time). She responsive, attentive and bright eyed 🙂 She’d never fallen sick for the past 5 months, had learnt to sleep through the night by 3 months, and learnt to sleep on her own at 4 months, I would say she’s a pretty good baby!
The early days had us worrying about her jaundice – she had a rare breastmilk jaundice which lasted for 2 months, she had a broken collar bone when she was delivered by 4 Filipino midwives, one looking like a rugby player (of whom helped push (literally) BabyG out). Then while her height is floating at the 95% percentile, her weight was at the 25% percentile which got us worried, looking at the babies around us 😦
We learnt something – while we do our best to take care of our baby, there’s only One that causes the growth and development of our child 🙂 And what more then to just trust that He will take good care of her 🙂
