I'm now a SAHM !

Yes indeed, I'm now a stay-at-home-mum, finallly! It's been almost a month actually since I officially became one. 

But it hasn't been that long yet so I am still at the adjustment period, trying to establish a sustainable and productive routine. I got sick the first two weeks in fact, I had colds and sore throat and I almost felt like going down with the flu. I joked that it could be my body rejecting being a SAHM. But then again perhaps there's some truth to that. It's my first time to be alone as a full time housewife and mum. During my maternity leave days, I was always with someone, my parents during the first 3 months and my hubby on the 2 months after that. It was already hard work for me back then and now double that.

Recently I came across the word "bone tired" on an article by a parent and betcha-by-golly-wow, it is indeed the perfect desccription of how I feel! It's physical+mental+emotional exhaustion all into one. But then again, it amazes me how I seem to have the superpower to cope with lack of sleep, feeling "drained" from regularly expressing milk, preparing babyfood, doing the laundry, etc. I think it just comes naturally when you become a mother and I think what keeps us going is this grand inner joy we have in seeing our baby grow, a feeling of profound love no words could describe.

I would like to write some more, but I think I'll do that another time. My 10-month old is sleeping on my chest as I write this so I better conclude this post before she wakes up from the keyboard clicks.
