It was an extremely lousy weekend for Mummy. Daddy's mum did something unreasonable that sent Mummy into a rage and I ended up having a big arguement with Daddy. Not his fault but he was the nearest object that I could vent my frustration on. Mummy was so upset that I took a really long walk after that and ended up with a sunburn.
I shall leave the exact details to my memory... whatever it is she is still Daddy's mum and your granny. What's between her and I shall stay that way... nobody else is to get involved. As her daughter-in-law... she probably doesn't care how I feel about her but for her son and grandchildren I am sure she will still hold them close to her heart. Like I always tell Daddy... it is just not the same.
To dampen my mood even further, Baby Matty wasn't sleeping well again last night waking up at a 2-hour interval. Each time he woke up it will take me at least 30 minutes to rock him back to sleep again. I lost my patience yet again. I don't know how long I can keep this going. It has been 8 months and I have no idea when he will learn to sleep through the night. This is taking a toll on Mummy both physically and emotionally. We have done and change what we can possibly think of but nothing seems to work. I am at my wits end! How I wish he can talk and tell me what's wrong.
If you should ever come across anyone saying how much they enjoy parenthood... they got to be either lying or only telling the half-truth. No doubt that parenthood has its many joy... it can be equally tough and frustrating... resentment will set in every now and then. Daddy who use to tell me to be patient is starting to lose his mind now that I wake him up to help me out. Talk is cheap... when you go through it... you will understand.

Finally Got In!
Today is one of those rare occasions that the blogspot is accessible from office. The company blocks the site and hence nobody in the office can enter blogger. Mummy hardly has time after work to login which also explains why the infrequent posts.
Since the last post, we had celebrate Chinese New Year and our 2nd wedding anniversary. Matty has since got his 2nd lower front tooth and was even admitted on the 2nd day of Chinese New Year for constipation. He was crying really badly when the enema was administered... Mummy ended up crying with Matty. Since don't know when, he started to crawl like a pro, pull to stand. It just came so naturally without anyone teaching him how exactly to do it. He tries a little each day and all of a sudden he was performing each trick without much effort. Learning to cruise bit by bit lately. Perhaps he will start to walk without us knowing one of these days. He is getting harder and harder to restraint. As he grows... he is becomes less reliant on us... prefering to be left alone on the floor rather than be carried nowadays. Like I always say... soon we will be sending him off to college.
Now I just hope he will learn to fall asleep on his own and sleep through the night. A little difficult since he is teething. Mummy's patience seems to run out fast these days especially when we are having a rough night and I find myself having to wake up and carry Matty... to rock him back to sleep. Carrying a 9kg baby can be draining... much so in the wee hours of the morning. But like Linda said... just relax and enjoy the parenting before he grows out of it. After the talk with her... it actually made me feel better and stop looking for answers to make Matty grow out of this stage. Nonetheless every night before going to bed... I pray hard that Matty will sleep well. I want my much needed sleep. People around have been commenting that I look haggard. Actually without them telling me... I could see it from the mirror.
Daddy and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary on 8 February. We took Matty to Mt Faber for a picnic. Daddy and I went there once long time ago for a picnic as well. Except that this time round we are better and knew what to bring along. We even took Matty for a swim later that day. We had dinner at San Marco... it is right at the top of Fullerton. Fullerton still brings back alot of memory for us. Nice place... I am still waiting for someone to hold a wedding there so that I can try the food once again.
