Yesterday was great- I slept soundly from 4-8pm thanks to my meds. Had a family gathering at night, it was dear Uncle Derek’s 70th birthday. I love my Aunty Christine and Uncle Derek to bits. It was an “Aww” moment when my uncle who is this big Caucasian was stroking my small little Asian baby’s cheek, and telling me “He’s beautiful”.
Baby was fascinated by him, staring at him and smiling at him. I think my baby likes whites. Wtf.
It was a nice evening of getting to eat curry, finally. Conversations, and how my uncle made some points really clear. Like how mom don’t understand me at all.
Happy Birthday Uncle Derek, I wish I was rich so I can buy Windows 7 for him lor.
He kept repeating one thing… saying baby is so vulnerable and he depends on me for his all.

The best thing is, Sis also made my going to her party tonight possible!!! Aunty Christine will babysit baby. PARTY TIME PEOPLE. Minus alcohol and ciggies, but its better than nothing.

Something incredible happened today… I put baby to sleep right beside me on my bed, cuz he did not finish his milk and he would probably wake a few minutes later, and I was so tired I tucked him next to me- something I have not done because I was afraid of squishing him to death.
Anyway the miraculous thing is he kept really quiet and didn’t make any noises, not even his phelgm noises and squeaks which mom said means he is “growing”… and slept for 5 hours straight.
Mom was really surprised when she panicked in the morning, looking for him in the cot and on the sofa and he was nowhere to be found. I told her how he have been sleeping straight and was surprised myself when I saw the time and it was 8.30am already, from 3.30am when I tucked him in.
Mom concluded Baby was comforted by my scent and he needed love.
Please God, make this Baby loving my smell routine last. The 5 hours of sleep made me feel very rested indeed, sleeping properly at night…
