Being a Mom Is the Best Job in the World

For a week now, I am busy taking care of my daughter full time. My aunt who used to help us take care of Sophie had to go back to her family and as of now we are still in the process of finding a nanny.

If I used to be so afraid to be left alone with my baby, I guess after a week I can say that I am slowly getting used to it. I now know how to change her diaper and clothes, how to properly hold her and how to make her burp. The only thing I am afraid to do alone is giving my baby a bath. Fortunately my other aunt is there to help me in this one.

I am also getting used tp my baby’s daily routine. In the morning after feeding her, we would expose her to morning sunlight for a few minutes then I would give her her vitamins. After that she would sleep a little for about an hour and when she wakes up, it’s time to give her a bath. Sometimes she would poop around this time too. After a bath it’s time for a feeding again and then she would fall asleep for an average of 3 hours. When she wakes up, she is sure to be hungry so I would make sure her milk is ready. At times she would again poop so I would change her diaper and sometimes change her clothes.

She would sometimes go back to sleep but most of the time, she would stay awake and until the time when my husband comes home from work which is around 6pm. I would hold her, play with her, talk and sing to her softly.

I enjoy taking care of my baby though it can be very tiring. I find time to relax and rest when my daughter is asleep. I would sleep watch tv, read a book or listen to music.

I now fully realize the true meaning when one says that being a mother is a 24-hour task. It is a job that requires your full attention and energy. But I am also realizing that being a mom is indeed the most rewarding job in the world. My reward after a tiring day--- when my daughter gives a satisfied look then smiles sweetly. All of my tiredness seems to go away and I feel recharged!

Questions In My Head

My baby is now 1 month old and so far she is happy and healthy. But me and my husband are still adjusting to the new responsibility. I am the youngest in the family so I am not used to taking care of someone so young. At first I am afraid to carry my baby as she seems so tiny and delicate especially because I am still recuperating from the caesarian operation.

Aside from that, I guess the way of taking care of the baby has changed a lot since I was little. This is because most of the time, what the doctors says and what my aunt and my mom says contradicts and sometimes I am confused on who should I listen to. Of course, most of the time I would listen to the doctor but I also consider what my elders say.

I am a feeling a little sad now and I hate it. This is because sometimes I feel like I am so inadequate as a mother and I am afraid that everything I do is wrong. I feel a little unsure f everything and there are times when I feel neglected too. I hope that I snap out of this blue mood soon so I can be a good mother to my daughter. I want her to grow up healthy, happy and surrounded with so much love. I pray that God will help me achieve this aim.

Sophie is 1-Month Old!

My baby turned 1-month old last October 5 so we prepared some food to celebrate it. Her guests are my two pamangkins, my sister in-law and some neighbors. My aunt cooked carbonara which is really her specialty because it tastes so good while my mother prepared macaroni salad. For the children, we also had some ice cream. It was a nice day and again I thank God for this wonderful blessing. Hope He will help us take good care of our little princess. Here’s a pic of Sophie at 1 month:
