Back at work

I survived the first week back at work. It wasn't too tough since I left the twins at my babysitter home for the entired week and only bringing them home on Friday evening.

Was pretty busy at work and quite a fair bits of catching up to do even though I am only away for 2 months. There are too many meetings for the first week and I barely have time to go thru all the emails and it is already Friday.

Weekend will be a challenging time for me, I will be home alone with the Twins on Saturday. We will be fine...I know!!

End of Maternity leave

2 months passes quick and I am at the end of my 2 months maternity leave, will be starting work next Monday. Rightly speaking, what passes fast are the weeks after confinement and when the babies are staying with my aunty (the babysitter). Last weekend was the first weekend that I have to bring them back, had great deal of anxiety and mixed feeling and it was an extremely busy weekend too. We attended two wedding dinners and it was an experienced.

My holiday is over and I have to face motherhood in its full prospective. We have made the decision to bring the twins back daily except for days when Louis is on afternoon or night shift which is 2 days per weeks. I am grateful for this arrangement, it means I would have 2 night of good rest per week.

I had a celebration dinner with Louis at Mortons to celebrate the birth of the twins and parenthoods. I shared with him my worries and my constant desired to cry whenever I think of the stress of taking care of the babies. Am glad that Louis is encourarging and giving me assurance that we will be fine. The dinner at Mortons was the most expensive dinner I had so far, service was superb, Onion bread taste wonderful and the steaks was great. Too bad, we were too full to have desert or rather we didn't want to spend that kind of money. So, we went to MacDonald and ordered the Ice-cream as our desert of the night.

Anyway, I will count my blessing and be grateful for the healthy and wonderful babies that I have and learn to embrace each other company. Me and Louis have also agreed to have our monhtly date to have nice and quiet dinner together but definitley not Mortons, too expensive.

Anxiety attack

I suspect that I am having some forn of anxiety attack when I can't sleep in straight two days. Freaking tired but just can't get to sleep. On day 1, I thought it could be the iced coffee I had earlier in the day but on day 2, I suspect it is anxiety because we brought baby boy back from my babusitter place. I think I am losing sleep because babies are coming back. The ironic thing is, I am worried that I won't have enough sleep when they are around, ended up my own stress causes me to lose my sleep even when they are not around, well done, isn't it?? The hot weather is not helping too and we preferred not to on the aircon when they are back caused we can't see them when the door is closed. But as I am writing this, I have closed the door, on the aircon and my boy is sleeping alone in his room. I desperately need some rest!!

General Election 2011

Like what our Prime Minster said, this election determined the next generation of Minsters and future of Singapore and we are all waiting eagerly for the result. This is the first time that we saw and heard many discussion and attention about the election from all generation, especially the post 70s. This is a good sign, at least it showed that, we do care and we are concerned about our Country. It will be sad and scary if the election means nothing to us.

I have not attended a Rally and this election came at a time when I just have two new born, might try attending one 5 years later to feel the heat and passion generated. Louis attended the rallies and he brought these back for me.....

1st Mother's Day

Our family had advance Mother's Day celebration and it also mark the first Mother's Day for me. Didn't have the drama touching emotion, rather, it was a usual family get-together. The role of a mother is new to me, I don't seem to fully understand what it meant to me at this point but I am sure it will get clearer and clearer. What I know is, mother wish is simply, we just want the babies to grow up healthy and happy.
