It's another month

Finally, I could "steal" some time to update my blog since my in laws are here. It's been two weeks since I've started work and the adjustment has been fine so far. I guess it has to do with the fact that I've learnt to let go of things so as to be focussed on the more important tasks. E.g. when work seemed to overwhelm me, I reminded myself that the day will end and I will be home to feed Baby Eliza. Of course, it's a lie to say that I leave for work happily each day....I still struggle between staying at home to look after Eliza vs working and leaving her in the care of my mum and mil. It became harder in recent weeks when Eliza learnt to flash her big toothless smile at me in the early mornings when I fed her. I believe all working mums face the same struggle...it's definitely not easy...

And ever since I sacked my maid (because of her terrible work attitude and I found out she stole money...), I've also learnt to treasure my privacy with Iain and Eliza. The house is just different with a maid around...Now we can leave our things around and leave the house anytime without worrying about the maid.



Even though Eliza is just 3 months old, I think she is learning about our schedule.She will wake up from her evening nap just to babble with mummy and daddy or for me to let her latch on.Sometimes, she will even stay up till 9pm to "talk" to us in bed. Just that for a few occasions, Iain and I were so tired that we fell asleep before she did!

Well, it's indeed tough to be a working mum...but I promise myself to stay in the workforce as long as I can..at least until number 2 comes along :)
