Week 11 with Marco

I think staying at home during maternity leave is not good for me and for my mental health. I am stressful because I have nothing to accomplish. Day by day passes without me doing anything meaningful. I just need my routine back.

The stress is added by stupid breast feeding. I am unhappy expressing breast milk which then this week brought me a nightmare. I dreamt of having my nipple 2 meters long with torn skin and I could see the milk duct appeared like cables.I guess that came because I am experiencing pain in my breasts. They are like painful pulses in both side.

This evening I took a nap because I had nothing to do after lunch. I fell asleep when I was watching Games of Throne season 4 episode 3. Then I had a dream about Marco. In my dream, he could turn himself to tummy but that is not one single flip. He flipped himself several times until I could not find him. He disappeared. Another scene in my dream is when I managed to catch him to change his diaper or wash his back after pooped. I somehow took out his left booty too harsh then his toes were torn and I could see the flesh and some tiny bones. I was crying and try to put back the toes. Some how I managed to "glue" back his toes by only putting them back properly. Overall in my dream, he was very active. every time I wanted to change his diaper, he suddenly disappeared and make me worried.

The situation now is worsen as Niko went to Beijing this morning. I sent him to airport this morning that's why I need my nap. In the normal days, I always wait him to come home and have dinner with him. Today till Friday I have no one to wait for. I feel very lonely as Marco has not talked yet. He sleeps most of the time.

Thinking to go out tomorrow and Friday. But it's troublesome to have full breast after 4 hours when I am outside. I am also sick to eat at home. The food is nice, I just want to eat something different, something I used to eat few months back. I like routines. I feel my life is more scheduled. I have been so messy as I have no schedule to shower, I have no activity that makes me happy. All I do everyday is waiting Niko to go home.

6th Week with Marco

Niko cut his nails. He less possible scratches his face.


Recently every night we swaddle him with the miracle swaddle. He sleeps peacefully for 2 nights. He has been drinking 100ml since 2 days ago and it will last for 2.5 - 3 hours. I already can adjust with his sleeping pattern. I also sleep while he is sleeping and wake up only to feed him at night time.


8th Week with Marco

We found that he started to get cranky. Even we just feed him but still he cries. The we realized that he wanted to be carried. He also have his new best friend, the pacifier.

He is now good in lifting his head when we put him on tummy.

My breast milk has decreased because I am lazy to pump.



Niko shaved his head bald with the shaver I bought at Qoo10.
