Last time I was counting down to meeting little bub, now I'm counting the days to when my confinement will end and these chains around my ankles will eventually be loosened.
Ok, I exaggerate. Mom isn't very particular about me staying at home but having a baby dependant on you for nourishment every 2 hours very much limits your mobility. The last thing I want to do is dump her on Mom who has been taking excellent care of me.
As a forewarning to those thinking of having a baby, let me explain what my typical confinement day is like:
10am: bathe bub -> bottlefeed -> burp -> bub sleeps
11am: sweep/mop house & sterilise bottles
12pm: breastfeed -> burp -> bub sleeps
1pm: wash dirty clothes/ fold & keep away clean clothes/ iron clothes
2pm: lunch then breastfeed
3pm: switch on laptop to work (yes! workaholic me works from home)
4pm: bottlefeed, nappy change
5pm: back to laptop
6pm: breastfeed, play with bub, then wipe her down for the night
7pm: breastfeed
8pm: dinner, then breastfeed
9pm: sterilise bottles, prepare room for the night
10pm: bottlefeed
11pm: nappy change
12am: zzzzzz
2-3am: breastfeed
4-5am: bottlefeed
6-7am: breastfeed
8am: hot brekkie whilst Hana sleeps
9am: zzzzz
10am: [back to top]
I'm just wondering how long it will be like this and when is the acceptable age to send her to boarding school.
