Ethan is 3 months old

It'd been so long since I last blogged! How time flies.

Time has become so precious since our little one came into our lives.

Everyday, I will try to leave the office by 5pm - 5.30pm. I have found a new short cut back home (yay!) so I'll arrive home by 6.30pm.

Once arrived, I'll quickly take a bathe, transfer my breastmilk into bottles and chill them in the fridge. Then, it's time to feed Ethan or comfort him so he'll nap for a while. But normally, he'll continuing playing with his plush toys.

We'll place him in his rocker while we have dinner. By 9pm, it's Ethan's feeding time. Normally, he'll sleep after this feed. Otherwise, I'll make sure he sleeps by 10pm.

I've learned to also dream feed him, meaning feed him while he's still sleeping at 11.30pm/12am. Then, I'll pump and then go to bed.

At about 5am - 6am, Ethan will want his feed. I'll normally wake up after he's done.

By 7.30am, Ethan will wake up because it's his poo time. Yah, his body clock will want the potty at this point of time. Otherwise, he'll dirty his diaper and it'll be a hell of a mess. He doesn't like it!

I'll always wait until he wakes up, put him in his potty, change his diaper and then put him back in his cot for him to play/sleep. Then, i'll go to work.

And the cycle goes on like that. I'll still try to pump my breastmilk every 3-4 hours once at work. It depends on my work schedule/appointments for the day. But so far, everything is good even though I have been so busy!

Oh update about Ethan!

He is now 3 months old. :)

He's laughing! Yes, laughing ... a lot of chuckles and more baby talk. He plays a lot with his saliva too. Funny is that whenever he does that, it'll rain. It's an old wives tale. But quite accurate.

I've stopped wearing mittens for him so he can start touching different textures. He loves it :)
I love it when he touches my face when I'm breastfeeding him.

Very heart-warming.

I love being a mother.
