My Birthday!

This is my first birthday as a new MOM!

I had a few wishes that I had made a little while before this birthday occurred.

1. To have Madison sleep through the night
2. To regain some semblance of my previous fitness

To a certain extent with realistic modifications of the wishes they were fufilled... Madison slept pretty well last night, waking once for her feed then sleeping to 6 am to start her day. No fussing at the 3 am either.

Fitness wise, well.. I am pretty content with the level I have reached at this stage, it's not quite as good as it used to be but I have to discount for the chronic sleep deprivation and preoccupation with breast feeding supply. Although the second one may be more of a worry than reality but I am not going to test that one out.

The day has been pretty good so far, Chris is on leave this week as requested so that I didn't have to spend the day alone with Madison. He's been the perfect father, going out with walks with us in the mornings...afterwards we went to the Swimming Club to play a round of tennis, but had to abandon it after 30 odd minutes as it was searing hot... we were sweating buckets and baking ( read... pigment returning to face and arms..ARGH!!) Madison had a little nap and when she woke I fed her while we treated Nancy to breakfast at the club. Chris and I had a drink to cool down...

Afterwards we popped over to the Joo chiat clinic to meet up with Kay Shin and her significant other to remove stitches from above his eyebrow. Chris had taken out a mole for him 6 days ago. For some funny reason there was a walk in patient and I had to consult dressed in shorts!

Anyway, when we were done at the clinic we drove down to Great World City to pick up some sashimi and california rolls to add on for lunch. Video Ezy also has this promotion where the birthday person gets to rent a DVD for free on the day itself. So we have " Strange Wilderness" to watch tonight.

Pa and Ma came home for lunch so we ate at home. Madison was such a sweetie today, sitting happily in her feeding chair and wolfing down some mashed banana.
We all had lunch together, afterwhich Madison went for her afternoon nap.

The day ended on a quiet note, Chris and I had dinner at home while Madison slept after we put her down for the night...
