If you are a mom like me I bet you’d agree that proper lighting at home is one important weapon in your mommy arsenal. Imagine changing your little one’s diaper in the middle of the night under the dim light? Or can you picture giving you baby a bath in a badly lit bathroom? It can be complicated at least and disastrous and dangerous at best, either way, I bet no one wants to be caught up in either scenario. You’d probably agree that you can do your home chores and perform your motherly duties seamlessly if the lights are working perfectly in every corner of your home. So check out those
pendant light fixtures and bulbs in the kitchen. You wouldn’t want to end up putting peppercorns in your dish instead of salt, would you? And while you are at it, you might as well make a quick check-up of all your
outdoor lighting fixtures, you wouldn’t want to be groping in the dark in case your toddler who is just beginning to learn how to walk suddenly wanders into the yard, right?
Mommy if you cannot check these lights on your own, remind dad to do it regularly or better yet get someone who has technical know-how to check on your lights every few months to be sure that your home is perfectly lit any day anytime!
Moms, don’t let your mothering duties and endless home chores stop you from celebrating this romantic occasion. I bet you will find the time in between diaper changing and bottle-feeding to have a few hours alone with the husband and rekindle the romance to keep your relationship exciting and interesting, or just to remind each other why you chose him/her in the first place and why you end up married and with kids!
If you can ask your parents or your in-laws to look after the little one for a few hours while you and your man sneak out to town to watch a movie together or to have a romantic dinner together in one of your favorite restaurants (which you have not visited, by the way, since the baby arrived!). Or for a change, you might want to surprise your man with a bouquet of flowers delivered to his office. I bet he will be embarrassed but will be totally touched by your thoughtfulness, too! And who know, he might just end up buying you a dozen roses in your most favorite color, too!
I gotta find that picture of baby Sam that holding stuffs as just like pinching. It is just so cute to see her holding or grabbing her shirts, toys and such. You would want to see more and more (well, like me *heh!) of her doing it. I cannot just have enough of looking at it. Of looking her doing that thing. I just wanna share because I feel and laugh every time she does it. Sometimes she would just look at me wondering why I laugh and just then smile with me. Ha!
Being with my baby love Sam is just priceless. I am always thankful of this time. This time that I am with her not the other way around, thinking that I am working and let her does things with other people. I am just thankful. She surprises me everyday. Good surprises, that is.
Can you share some surprises too? From you, or from your love one/s? I hope you are having a great time despite of the trials in life. Trials/sadness is a twin of happiness but we have to make the former is leading most of time. :-) Spread the positive vibe! Give good surprise!
My baby love Sam was being mixed on her milk when she was in the hospital. That was one and a half month. She drank my breast-milk. I pumped out hard so she can have my breast-milk. Breast-milk is best for babies so I made sure she got it. When she was home, I formula-feed her. Yes, all formula. Why? I have a lot of reasons (I give out my important decision after weighing both sides) and the latter won. No regrets. She wasn't been sick because I formula-feed her all.
Anyway, formula or breast-milk mix, she eats not a lot. Just enough and her doctor is okay with it. That's the important word I got and nothing else. As long as she is not sickly and all because of formula-all, that's all that matters. She is not fat infant which I want her to be, but since want is just a second of "like", and you now found the answer. :-)
She drinks not quite a lot and it's fine (not just from my thought but also from her doctor's thought). I give more of strength than standard babies who likes drinking their milk, but am fine. It's just that it's just the way it is. And I like when they said "you did a great job!" . :-) Who wouldn't like that!? Don't you? Smile. :-)
