Confinement Man

Time really flies, Kaylen is 13 days old and I'm almost half way through my confinement. Talking of which, I should give credit to the person that is helping with my confinement. Its not my own mother, its not my mother-in-law, its my husband!! Yes, Johnny Koh again.

He's taking slightly more than a month's leave to stay at home to help with confinement. This time round, he's doing more, he does the cooking too! Before I deliver, I prepared a 30-day menu for him to serve as a guide what to cook. He would go through the numerouse confinement recipe books to check out the ingredients, do the marketing and then whip out the dishes for me to eat. Once in a while, he would come up with his own recipes. Can see that he's more tired this time round. He got to do the housework, cook, and do the entertaining when visitors come visit us. He lost a few kilos within this 2 weeks.

For me, its more on taking care of baby. I tend to the baby most of the time, feeding her, changing her, bathing her (something that old folks would very much frown at cos I'm not supposed to touch so much water), putting her to bed, etc etc. Kaylen is waking up every 2 hrs for feed or change of diapers, so I'm very sleep deprived at the moment.

Looking forward to Kaylen's 1st Christmas.
