Confinement nanny has just left and life was a bit disastrous initially. She is really god sent and I don’t know why but feel super comfortable with her. Maybe this is 缘分 (fate). It’s strange how much I’m missing her not only because she has been a great help but because I miss her “你要多多休息哦, 不要吹风扇,快点快点洗澡” (please rest more, don’t on the fan and take quick showers)。She made me feel like I still have a mum.

Anyway, I think humans are evolved to adapt to new environment/lifestyle. I think I’m slowly adjusting to motherhood/ housewife life.
Yesterday managed to wash laundry twice, brought baby out to dad’s place alone, chit chat with dad, showed baby my mum’s photo, pack my old room, change bedsheet, grocery shop, cook dinner and bathe baby. Insert ten times of breastfeed, pump & coax baby in between. And today managed to cook lunch, wash more laundry and clean up the kitchen
Yes, I managed to do housework, prepare meals for family and look after baby all by myself. I started to give myself little challenges too. Gotta up my level before I return to work right?
Please email me if you want her contact details.
