Yehey, Janna is 11 weeks old now and she’s had incredible improvements since last month. She sleeps longer now for one, an interval of around 3-4 hours, unlike before with just an hour or 2 interval. We have already established a routine. From the time we wake up at around 6am, we’ll go outside to greet the beautiful sunrise so she could harvest it’s nutrients. Afterwards it’s poop time where in i had to sit her so she can comfortably let it out. Then we’ll lie back down and have her breakfast from my breast 😛 since she just emptied her stomach, she needs a refill. Sometimes she goes back to sleep after her meal, sometimes she just stay awake smiling and playing all smiles with me. Then at around 9am we’ll both go down and continue playing with her grandparents while i have my breakfast. At around 10am, it’s bath time for my baby, then meal time again for her before she goes for another nap. That’s the time when i can have a bath myself and check my mails, then lunch time for me. Sometimes she’s still asleep during this time, sometimes she’s fully awake playing. Around 2-3pm, we’ll both have our nap while she’s feeding again. Come 4pm to 8pm, i have my hands full with her ’cause this is the time when she’s more fussy and likes to feed a lot. I suppose she’s stacking up for the night so she’ll have longer sleep. From 9pm, the feeding time will be around 11pm, 2am and 5am.

Her grandparents adore her so much because at a very early age, she seems to be talking back when being talked to. She seems more advanced than other babies. She’s learned to do thumbsucking on her own to pacify herself. I adore and love her all-body smiles when we’re playing. She’s very observant, responds to sounds and stops crying to listen to it.

I have learned to read her signals, I suppose it’s really a mother’s instinct. I know from the way she cries if she needs to be fed, or she needs to change her nappy or just simply wants to be comforted and play with.

When she sleeps, simply staring at her so calm and peaceful and so beautiful melts my heart. I never thought before that I could be a mother, but now I am and I’m loving it. I truly adore my baby and i want to hug her and kiss her all the time. My baby wants to be held more often now and my in-laws would say it’s because we’ve probably spoiled her into carrying her everytime she cries. Well, I’m guilty as charged, i cant help it. It breaks my heart to see her cry and she’s all so cute that i want to cuddle her all the time.

I want to bond with her and show her that I am always right by her side whenever she needs me in a snap. We’re building our trust that she can count on me whenever she needs me and that I know and understand what she wants to say. I’ve done my research anyway and no- i’m not spoiling my baby, imjust simply effectively communicating with her.

I’m looking forwards to seeing more of my baby’s firsts and i will always be around for her. 😀
