Nightmare begins
Thanks for all wishes. Haha…Chinese name ah…I also dono how to explain, got to wait for hubby and get their name. Will do a scrap one day (if I ever able to find time again!)
My CL just left this morning and our “horror” starts.
The boys just kept crying (since last night when we reached home from Kuantan). And this morning, nothing me or the maid do can soothe them down. They just keep on crying and crying, and even though very hungry, they just would not take their milk from the bottle. So the only thing I can do is to let them suckle until the fall asleep. Once I pull myself free from them, they start crying again, rejecting the milk bottle. The moment we put them down, they will start to wail again. How nice if there is a hammock chair in my garden where I can rock myself to sleep carrying the babies together.
After of 5 hours struggle, I only managed to feed them by shoving the bottle into their mouth once they fall asleep on my breast. Maid manage to put sleeping Baby Then on the playpen while I had to hug Baby Zhen on my arm to sleep on the couch. (In fact, it is best to separate the 2 sleeping babies are they tend to wake up each other when one of them cry 
)
Sigh…if only I can pour the formula into me so that I can feed them! And tonight, I bet the nightmare will start with hubby since we will have TWO babies in our room starting from tonight. Wonder if I still have time to blog again in future.
O dear, thats reminds me of mine nightmare back then. I think they already got used to your CL like mine. The day she left, both of us are like headless chicken running around the house, also because that was our first time handling a baby. Think you will be able to do better than us since you have QQ before. At this moment, think your first and utmost priority is your 2 precious gems, blogging should come later. What you need now is a lot of rest and plenty of water to run your “factory”… good luck !
it’s ok CN……just started, that’s why u got a bit of shock. later u will get immune to it…..just kidding!!
be patience & trust yrself that u can handle it, wish u luck!!
Oh my… hope you get some rest too… little as it may seem. Just cuddle both of them to sleep on the bed, maybe the warmth of your body will soothe them? Good luck
You will eventually find a way. Mothers always do. Don’t worry about blogging. There’s more to life than just blogging. So, blog only when you are free.
don’t worry Chinnee…u will get use to it (one cry, d other oso follow) and it will be like never ending…but no worry..I know you can handle it
poor you. i think they will be better as they grow older
hang in there, chin nee.
Maybe hv to “pray” b4 you left ur MIL’s place in Kuantan. Though I am a catholic, but sometimes..this thing really does matter. You know what I mean??
My fren’s oso facing the same problem, after caming back from her MIL’s place for full-moon prayer. Her baby started to cry & cry, so she called her MIL to pray for the bb..it works
Don’t worry,since u hv a maid, she will be a bit of a help..U will be ok soon.
sure can you handle them, it’s just the matter of time and dun worry too much on blogging, do it when u r free, ok!!
you remind me of my nightmare!!
take it easy… the hard time will pass soon…
a hug to you, chin nee…i can imagine your situation.
Babies cry for various reasons, and the worst is when we are not able to cope! Brendan was an extremely difficult baby to cope with as he will cry and cry and he would wake up and not sleep for hours in the wee morning! Now, at 5, he gets night terror once in a while, which I’m well-trained to recognise it now.
Somehow, I feel that there are some “pantang” stuffs to observe, like when travelling outstation, when meeting with strangers, when they get frightened and all that. I went crazy, but certain things helped me. Some people might not believe it, but I had to when I only get 3 hours of sleep at night.
Your babies and your personal life are much more important than blogging. You can always come back to blogging when everything stabilises.
Cheers, and hugs to you..
Maybe they miss the confinement lady.
I remember during the first month I gave birth to Shern, I was so stressed. So I can imagine you’re having double stress. But I’m sure things will get better and better as they grow.
*hugs* Hope things will get better soon.. Take good care of yourself too.
you will settle into a routine as time goes by. If you think you need extra help for now, maybe you could ask the CL to stay another month? A friend of mine with twins does that cos she cant cope with her other 2 kids below 4 on top of the twins
And I thought mine was bad!!! Somemore you got twins, but you know what, you will survive somehow!!!
I sent my CL back yesterday cos she was sick. So I’m alone now. My breastmilk also limited now that I don’t have much time to pump anymore. Brandon also seldom take formula from me…he keeps wanting to suckle. Worst thing is that he doesn’t know how to latch (since birth)! But I tell myself, “Hey, we will survive!”
Bb Zhen n Then, don’t bully mommy so much ok?
i can still remember jesse was also like dat, once the CL left, we have prob looking after her… dun worry chin nee, its just a phase u will go thru, soon they will be ok… take care
Hi ChinNee, if really cannot handle then you can ask Aunty Ma to help you. FYI, yew shen will bring back handle by myself start on 1st/Aug 08.
Hope your nightmare will go off soon. Hang on dear.
always tell yourself.. tomorrow is a brand new day. accept / ask as much help as u can… nobody can cope by themselves…nobody!
take care *hugs*
*hugs hugs*
I can imagine how kelam-kabut your life is now! Hang in there ok. You will soon get used to it.
agreed with all the mommies here…hard time will soon get over. Just take care yourself!!
