Being a Mother

Huda was discharged on 30 April with an impressive 2020g of body weight.Whoooooo!

The lovely little girl has been with her mommy and daddy, popularly known as Mak and Ayah ever since.

How has motherhood been?

Where shall I begin?

Let's start with a typical weekday.

6.30am - Wake up. Pray. Breakfast. Huda wakes up. Feed Huda. See The Husband off to work.

7.30am - Continue feeding Huda. Burp Huda. Huda naps. Mak surf the Net: checks emails, writes emails, visit motherhood-related forums.

9am - Huda stirs. Prepare her bathing paraphernalia.

9.30am - Bathe Huda. Feed Huda. Burp Huda.

11am - Nap for both Mak and Huda.

12.30pm - Eat yesterday's dinner for lunch. Sorry, no time to cook lunch. Always cook extra during dinner and save some for lunch the next day. Pray.

2pm - Feed Huda. Burp Huda. Change diapers. Start preparing dinner.

5pm - Feed Huda. Burp Huda. Pray. Continue preparing dinner.

7pm - Husband comes home! Yay! Official handover of nappy-changing and burping duties! Have dinner. Pray. Read Quran.

8pm - Feed Huda. Watch TV. Use the computer.

10pm - Feed Huda.

12mn - Feed Huda. Sleep.
