Today is the 12th morning.... but why morning ah? Not day meh???
So, it's an important. The day i get to bathe officially. Yes, chinese confinement customs does not allow a mother who's just given birth to bathe for 30 days. But, we do it on the 12th. MIL made a tub of water with white rice wine and a few pomelo leaves for me to take my bath. The feel of warm water over my body never felt soooooo good. I even washed my hair. I feel so light now. Like a burden's been lifted off me. I bathed quickly just in case i catch a cold.
Gordon woke up really early this morning at 7.30am, crying non-stop. Kept wanting to climb over onto my side on top of me. Malcolm is in bed with me on my right. Didnt bother to put him back onto the highchair after nursing him in the wee hours of the morning. So, a wailing Gordon was practically trampling all over the bed; and kept falling over the comforter, myself and Malcolm.
Hubby didnt gave a damn and continued sleeping until i started screaming at him to get Gordon off me and Malcolm. Which he reluctantly did so grumpily, having been awaken from his sleep.
Still havent got a clue as to what Gordon wants at times, today's a fine example of his crankiness. Kept saying "ji-ji, ji-ji....". WTF's ji-ji??? Turned on the TV..... no, not what he wanted. Turned on the PC..... no, also not what he wanted. Diu.... really dunno what he wanted, so, left him to "ji-ji....ji-ji...." on his own.
Malcolm's dried-up umbilical cord fell off today. I lost Gordon's. So, i'm gonna keep this properly this time.... hopefully. My mom and SIL dropped by for a short visit bringing along with them eggs and some meat. MIL cooked Vinegared Pork with Ginger, and Chicken with Ginger & Black Fungus in Sweet Wine..... yummy, yummy. I've been eating and eating and eating these past 12 days. And yet, i still feel hungry all the time. Wonder where all it went to..... milk production, maybe.
