Been back to work almost 2weeks and ya I've been adapting well with my crazy schedule of work and babies duties.
Some how I feel more energetic nowadays as compared to pre-babies days. Maybe my body knew to how to generate extra energy to keep me going. That being said, I eat lots more too. That's where the energy comes from. Soon fats will follow. Haha.
Everyone favourite question is how am I coping with Dinos now at night. I actually have no answer. I guess it a natural instinct to wake up and feed them ba. Afterall which mum will let her child go hungry?
But truth to be told, I think I'm already accustomed to the waking up part or rather sleeping in short intervals. I usually sleeps at 10pm if possible leaving Mr Love to do the 10-11pm feeding.
Then the next 2 feeds at 2 and 6am will be done by me. Yes, the elder Dino had not master the art of sleeping longer than 4 hours. In fact he woke up at 3hrs plus last night after his 10.20pm feed demanding milk.
Yet he feels sleepy. Trust me, hungry and sleepy is the worst combination for a baby since he would not want you to disturb his sleep BUT at the same time feeling hungry. Aggrr.. Even Mr Love woke up to help me to distract him with his favourite toy till I finished the feed.
Didn't managed to finish the bottle but 3/4 is good enough to let him go back to sleep happily. I then set my alarm at 3.5hrs later hoping to feed him before he turn nasty. Really, you will not want to face a nasty big dino. Not in the middle of the night where he will scream the whole block down.
And this time, he didn't want to drink since he is too sleepy!!! Agggrrr.. So I told him gently and softly that I need to prepare to go work already, he should be a good boy and drink up so that I can catch a nap of another 45min. And that I love him a lot for being mummy's good boy.
He really did start drinking after that and finish the bottle in under 10min. Didn't fuss when I burp and change his diapers and went back to sleep and reply allowed to nap another 45 min before my work alarm goes off.
Really I would like to think that he heard and understand my words and cooperated with me. Haha.
As 1 of my colleague told me the other day. There is no other way to skip night duties. But it does get easier. I seriously hope it is so for my case:)
