Well, Auntie will finally be completing her 2-month stint with us this coming Sunday... which means we've 3 more nights to be lazy before we are left to our own devices to take care of Isaac. Auntie has been a great help these 2 months and thanks to her, I was able to rest well (and at night especially) and have good nutrition. I've also gone on a crash course of changing and bathing Isaac since the end of Isaac's first month, so that i will be well-equipped to handle the little fella when Auntie goes back. But everything has been so far so good and i'm getting more confident in bathing Isaac and he also seems to enjoy bathtime. I think i should be able to handle him on my own. Lots of friends have been giving me encouraging messages about looking after Isaac and i would like to thank all of you who have messaged me!
Chee Meng asked me to go stay over at my parents' place for the first week after Auntie goes off so that my mum can help me look after Isaac till everything becomes more stable and I become more 'steady'. Chee Meng is also worried that i will starve to death coz there are no foodcourts, no markets around me, whereas my parents' place has a wonderful market and hawker centre just at our doorstep. And, my mum can also help to look after Isaac while i catch winks or naps. I'm sure my mum is looking forward to us staying with them though Chee Meng will feel a bit sad coz he won't be able to give his precious Isaac a kiss before he goes to work every morning. But let's see how.. if i'm able to handle him after a week, then i'll move back to Sengkang. I'll find a way to settle food or just rely on 'healthy' food such as cereals and sandwiches. Ah... maybe i can even lose some weight!
We are also looking at moving near my parents' place so that everything is easier, but flats/apartments near my parents' place (Ghim Moh) are rather expensive, so let's see how.
In the meantime, i'm gradually taking over the care of Isaac from Auntie, so that i'll be ready to be a full-time, unassisted mommy!
