Help is here

The pooi yuet arrived the following day. There were so many things to get. Since we had minimal furniture at the new place, we had to get a new bed for our stay-in helper & other stuff i never knew existed for instance yu yee yau aka medicated oil to get rid of wind in baby's stomach.

Having someone unfamiliar staying at your home was fairly strange. But was she a great help! She cleaned, cooked, took care of the baby in the day & also in the night. I tot wow, what a superwoman. Later i realised, mothers had the God-given ability to handle all this task from dawn to dusk.

The dishes were fantastic. But what i loved most & couldn't get enough of was her fried rice. Simple common dish but somehow it taste "ooh!" thinking of it makes me salivate! My dearest hubby enjoyed her cooking so much so that he had a bad case of sore throat from consuming too much ginger, pepper & heaty food, which was catered more for me to get rid of wind, keep the body warm & nurse it back to health after delivery.

While she took care of bb luke, I tried to get some sleep in the afternoon but by the time you know it, it's time for his next feed. And so, the routine for the weeks to follow has been established. wake up, feed, burp (this is a tough one), change nappy, cry, sleep, wake up, feed .... and the cycle continues...
