1.5 days internship with Mummy Sister

Shall write some reflections after doing an internship with my sister mummy for 1.5 days ..*don’t judge k it’s my first time* 😅
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Early in the morning at 5.30am, got woke up by my mother to go to my sister house to help..

Feeling excited to go and spend the whole day and night with her, jumped up and went. In my mind I was thinking of reaching the house, maybe sleep till 11am, and can start chatting with my sister and play with baby.....anyway, how tough will it be? It will be so fun and happy to spend time together with my sister and play with the cute baby!! 👶 🍼

I was so wrong.

Once we reach there at 6.30am, my mum took the baby and we slept in the room, the baby was so active and making sounds/crying throughout for two hours...I was in and out of sleep, echoing after the baby hoping that she will stop. Which she did a while, and continued.......

After two hours of very disturbed sleep, it was followed by, helping to feed milk(I fed 3 times yay!!), watch my sister pump milk, change diapers, bathe the baby, pump milk, eat a quick lunch, go and have lunch w colleagues, change diapers, feed milk, and my mum cooking, do laundry, etc.

Everyone was so busy and there was no rest time!

After a looooooong time when I felt that this has been ongoing for way too long and there’s too much activities for the day, (hoping that night has arrived as it means the end of the day), I looked down at my watch and to my biggest horror, it was only 4pm.

What!! So much has already been done but the day hasn’t even been over. And it is still early.. to do more.........😥

We then went for dinner and the cycle continues, looking after queen kaylee needs .. whenever she have needs. Which is every few hours. 👶👸

After a whole day of work (obviously them doing much more work than me and not complaining abit), I felt so tired with the lack of sleep, and started to feel headache, thinking that finally, finally we can rest and chill.

Usually after a day of hard work, we get to chill at the end, fruits of the hardwork, that’s how it works no? The well needed rest that keeps us sane!

But nooooo. From 11.30pm to 2am, baby started crying loudly and I remember in my sleep, I was waving the toy with sounds hoping she will stop, and sleep talk half telling my sis and mum why can’t we let the baby just cry to sleep herself, and how I am going to take grab home at 7am in the morning.

Hahaha I know omg I am such a terrible person. But I am so 😴 sleepy!!

Started praying for the baby to stop crying and go to sleep, while my sis and mum were outside calming the crying hysterical baby down......... and finally after. 2am+............ she slept.

When 5am came, supposedly my turn to feed the baby, I .... Let’s just say the baby was fed by people other than me.

Early in the morning, baby started making noises again till 11am.. and the whole cycle repeats.

After helping out with laundry with the bit of energy left, feeling slightly lightheaded and headache due to the ongoing cries, I decided to politely take my leave and go back home at 12pm.

back to the place where there is freedom and rest, back to the place where everything is normal and not so tough. Back to even working which wasn’t so draining as this.

All I can say is, all the mothers out there, you are doing such a great job juggling all these. So proud of you sister!! ❤️ and family support is so important! Grandpa and grandma of baby, thank u.
And to my bro in law, thank you for being such a hands on dad for my sister to be tag team with her 🙂

To the husbands, you may not see the work that the mothers are doing after a long day of work, (if you do that’s great), but it is really not easy... 24/7 work is real... finally have a glimpse of it now. (And I need to take a good rest now after just a glimpse tyvm)

Do show some appreciation to the wives if you are not helping.... 母爱是伟大的.. 这是你爱和答应一生一世的老婆，请爱她多一点吧。

To all children, really not easy for your parents to bring you up, they may be imperfect but they really try their level best to bring us up. Please forgive them and love them and treat them well. ❤️

Ok that’s all. Happy Tuesday #reflections #mothersarejewels

Having said that, took a lot of cute photos of baby Kaylee. 🙂 #growupwellandbefillialpls
