I have been back at work for 1.5 months already. Hence the significant decrease in frequency of posts. There is simply no excess time for a working mum! A typical day goes like this:
- Wake up at 6.45am and pump
- Say hi to Kaelyn and prepare for work
- David drops me off at the MRT station and fetches Kaelyn and maid to either parents or in-laws (there is a roster, I will elaborate in my next blog)
- Work, and pump once in office around lunch time
- Reach parents / in laws at about 7.30 - 8.30pm depending on whether it is a busy day at work or not
- Proceed to pump before having dinner, or vice versa
- Play with Kaelyn, if she is not sleeping, sleepy or throwing tantrums cos she doesnt want to drink milk
- David, me, Kaelyn and maid goes home
- Settle Kaelyn down to bed
- Time for me to pump again before hitting the sack, which is usually around 12 - 12.30am already...
- And the cycle goes on again....
It really is very very tiring! And it doesnt help if I have a really busy day in office. I can even fall asleep while pumping.. Weekends are used for catching up on sleep, lost time with Kaelyn, supermarket trips and paying bills.

This sounds like me with my first child. WIth the 2nd, Hubby and I don't quite both about reaching work on time. But I can understand, I am so tired by the commuting part after work back home frm parent's place. Hang on in there, you have a cute lovely bub worth living like this for... or do what brave TT has done, be a SAHM. :)
ai ya!! i meant we don't quite bother about reaching work on time, i.e. we try to sleep until the kids wake us up. You take care!!
