It was a long tiring week for all of us.

We're counting down 7 days to my Mom going back to Singapore. We wouldn't have survived these 3 weeks without her. How are we gonna survive the next 1.7 years with Baby on our own????

Lucas has been getting crankier and crankier ever since we brought him to the hospital's Urgent Care on Thurs night. He had raspy breathing, heavy chest, and it seemed like his breathing was very noisy and I was worried. We brought him into Urgent Care when Hubby came back from work at 1am. When the nurse and doc attended to Lucas, we had to strip him naked .. and he wailed and wailed and screamed. He was so traumatised at being naked. I guess it reminded him of the time he was pulled out from the warm womb and into the bright, cold operating theatre and being priced and poked and touched by the surgeons and midwives.

Ever since coming back from the hospital, he would cry and cry at every little thing. He still hasn't been sleeping well at night, waking us up every 2-3 hrs with his cries.. When he's awake, he wouldn't stop crying unless one of us picks him up and holds him close to us. The minute we fiddle with his clothes to change his diapers, he would start crying even before we unbutton him. Even passing him from one person to another, i.e passing him from my arms to my mom's, he would cry.

He still feels very insecure...We would have to hold him more and cuddle him more and try to rid him of his phobia slowly.

Mom is going back next Tuesday. So we're holding Lucas' full month celebration this Sunday, before mom goes back. I'm lucky to have some of the wives here help us out with it.. They're gonna help to dye the red eggs, bake nice cookies, wrap easter chocolates etc to give out to our friends here. We're also gonna cook up a buffet spread for the party.

And amidst all the hustle and bustle of looking after Lucas and preparing for his First month party, I almost forgot my birthday is this Friday. It seems like my birthday is no longer impt anymorehaha.. guess your priorities change when u become a mother. There's so many other things to worry abt. Plus, its my confinement still, so not that I can really celebrate it by going out or something.

The only thing on my mind now is how to take care of Baby when mom is gone.. Hubby is on leave the week that Mom goes off, because my right hand still hurts and I can't manage BB on my own. Hubby will have to stand in for a few days til my Dad arrives on 10 April.

Oh, btw, Doc says Lucas is fine. Afetr all that wailing he did in the hospital, Lucas didn't seem like he was having any more raspy breathing cos he wailed his lungs and airways open.
