Minibun George turned 100 days today!
Minibun
George turned 100 days today.
Life
has been very different for the other travel bunnie and I since the
arrival of our baby boy. Despite many sleepless nights, George has
brought so much joy to us and our families.
I
still remember the day when I found out that I was pregnant. I broke
the news to the other travel bunnie at 5 in the morning when he was
still sleeping and we snuggled together until the sun came up. The
next day, my doctor confirmed that I was five weeks pregnant. The
first time when I saw Minibun George's heartbeat on the scan, tears
came rolling down my cheeks, he was five weeks and four days. There
was a little miracle growing inside of me. From then on the other
travel bunnie would treat me like a queen (as if he wasn't already).
He would walk to my work down the other end of the town to collect me
after work, give me nightly massages after washing my hair in the
shower. He never missed any appointments or scans, and he always made
sure that my cravings were satisfied before I went to bed each night.
The other travel bunnie was always there for me, from the very start
right until the morning when I laid on the operating table shaking
uncontrollably as I was so scared while he tenderly stroked my
hair to calm me down, his eyes never left mine... and seven minutes
later we heard a very loud cry and hello, Minibun George! A healthy
baby was born 8 pounds 2 ounces with a very good set of lungs.
100
days later, with God's blessing, Minibun George is looking cuter than
ever, and he's been such a good baby to me right from the beginning
when he was still in my womb. Never once had I experience morning
sickness and my obstetrician was always pleased to see us as Minibun
George was very well behaved.
These
days, my daily routine involves breastfeeding at three-hour
intervals, story telling, nappy changing (which happens too many
times for my liking), taking photos of Minibun George, playing with
him, taking photos of George again, and again, then sending them to
the other travel bunnie. And of course, on most days, I'd take him
out in his limited edition Andy Warhol for Bugaboo pram and stroll
around the city. Also, although it sounds rather weird, I often find
myself missing him terribly when he's sound asleep in his bassinet,
and when that happens, I'd take him out and put him onto our bed in
between the other travel bunnie and I, so that I can smell the milky
scent on him and hear his rhythmic breathing.
It's
amazing how a three-month old baby could change me so much. He's
teaching me everyday, how to be patient, how to love more and how to
cherish life. Every day, I thank God for bringing me this precious
present and for making me a very, very blessed woman.
PS.
so on his 99th night we had a little celebration for him and he
seemed quite pleased with his cookie monster cake. What a cutie!
