Mom and Son

With or without helpers, taking care of a baby takes up a lot of energy of the mother. Some mothers feel comfortable having someone feeding, putting their babies to sleep, or giving them baths.

My sister is 'different'....

She can't let anyone do everything for Akbar. Even if she can't have her much needed rest sometimes, she'd take over. I can put Akbar to sleep and I'm starting to be very good at that. I take over the job of feeding and putting him to sleep if I am around so she can sleep, for an hour or two. But, noooo.... She can't lie down, she can't sleep either. She would sit next to me, making sure everything's OK. :) She knows she'd crack physically if she doesn't do something about it. She's dropped 8 kilos! So, there's one trick she does now when I'm with Akbar. She locks the bedroom door and she could try to have her nap with no interruption. :D



Well, sis. You take care of him, he'd do the same when you're old. That's why I prayed so hard for a boy. But take care of yourself better. That way, I am not worried.

I love you both. ;)
