The transformation of Mummy Rei Rei

Before i start narrating the life of my baby princess, let me give u quick overview of myself.



My days of pregnancy went thru like a breeze (thank god!). Somehow i do miss it; the days of pampering and being treated like a QUEEN by all. The real parenthood journey starts now!

It's amazing how a baby can transform you, curing some "chronic" habits instantly, ie
THEN: Sleep like nobody business for straight 10 hours (I have a reputation for being the "sleeping goddess" for a reason)
NOW: An undisturbed sleep in the night for 4 hours is considered a miracle!

THEN: Choose to do anything i want at my own pace and a mininum of 1 hr to prep before heading out of the house.

NOW: Even simple tasks like having a shower needs to be tactically strategize to coincide with the baby's nap time + dressing up & make-up in less than 15 mins.


THEN: Eat everything, anything i want
NOW: Bye bye curry chicken, cookies n cream ice-cream, butter prawns - as my baby is highly allergic to lotsa of food types, it will upset her tummy via my precious liquid gold (breastmilk).

Also - I never expect myself to start blogging, since i used to jeer at my hubby (who is a blog fanatic/addict/ fan/ whatever u can name to describe his complete love for blogging) that it's a waste of time. However, while being grounded at home and isolated from civilisation during my confinement period, I started to read about blogs of new parents, and the challenges n sweet memories of their little ones. I empatised the experiences they shared, knowing that what my baby went thru is perfectly normal. Most importantly, it's an excellent way to document the growing up days of my darling girl! One day, when she finally transist from Baby En Xi, to Ms En Xi and finally Mdm En Xi, it's something she can look back and have a good laugh (or cry) about.



Hope all of u will enjoy my blog. Happy reading!

p/s I promise the subsequent posting will be short and sweet, not long and naggy like this!
