Finally, come the last day of my maternity leave. Start at 21st March and finish this day 21 June. Just remember when i was pregnant before, and now i have a cute boy ever on my lap. For me, big huge changes happening in my lil family life. My own, mine, and me was changed and still change, reliazed or not.
When meternity leave started ever, i'd waited for delivery process that deffered from HPL. When it was happened, felt confused becaused i was prepared for spontaneous labour process by joined with maternity class. I was prepared for lactation too, because i want give my best for my son. Several habit was changes between me and my husband for prepared, ex : enjoy everything genre of music, include dangdut and bataknesse music, discuss about new things at midnight with my hubby(math, investment, project, foreign language, etc), story telling and read a loud almost every night, finished our office project, and another new thing that will give our son new experience when he was on my womb. And... God is Good gives me opportunity enjoyed spontaneus delivered process plus 2 hours of IMD(inisiasi menyusui dini), even i was felt induction process from step 1 until 10. The suffering in while replaced by happiness in my heart of course with my hubby. Just remember when i saw my hubby cried when delivered process done. He just worried about me, nor our son :)
Our first month having Edgar was overdue, but i always remember how it was happen. When i was in hospital for 3 days, i'd just little time to lacthed on with Edgar because a lot of our family, ooficemate, and nearest friend visit us. And the result is until 3 days my ASI still defisit. But, i kept it pumped even accumulation milk just 10ml. I believe that first collostrum important to boost up self imun for Edgar. And the last day in hospital, we heard that Edgar have to stayed at hospital becauce his bilubirrin was in red area from standard of baby healthy. We felt so sad, but after two days he extend he got permitted went back home.
Initially, when we went home we expected that everything went easier. But, in reality no romantic as we wanted it to be. As new mother i felt extremely tired. A lot of things that caused it. I expected everything going as perfect as i planned. I planned i'll give ASIX, didn't used powder talc, used reusable diapers, didn't used bottle for gave milk, and a lot of another plan. But, when i couldn't made it happened i felt stress, and actually i worried about baby blues syndrome. Nearest family didn't supported as good as i expected. But, thank God, my lovely hubby always supported me, i was shared everything to hubby. When i was left every perfection theory, and started to enjoyed my motherhood everything went easier. My mother and mother in law stayed just for 1 week, and back home when we both felt so tired. But we was commited that we must be strong as new parent. Thank God time goes by with a little progress everyday. The first month result, i didn't give ASIX, but mix with Morinaga BMT, i didn't use reusable diapers, for first week Edgar used powder talc from my mother in law, and Edgar always drink use bottle so i must to pump my breastmilk. Anyway.. i didn't mind. I just do my best. For the first mont i've got lost 15 kg of my weight... yippiee :) plus my decreation supply of my breastmilk..poor Edgar..
Enters second month, Edgar was got Hepatitis B 1, Polio, and Hepatitis B 2 vacsin. His weight was 4,7 kg and height 54cm. Same with another baby, Edgar always screamed when he felt cholic.We usually went to the doctor when we haven't idea treated Edgar's scream, but when we went home nothing significant improvement. We realized that we have learned step by step how to take care of Edgar. Fortunatelly, my hubby got a great idea for brought Edgar to Baby spa for massage. Massage maybe could reduce his cholic and made him more comfortable. Lucky me, it work!!! After got some treatment from baby spa Edgar slept for more long time, more calm, and drunk a lot than before. Enter 40 days from Edgar birth, everything went easier. When i feel so tired, i learn to delegete several task to my ART. She was trained when she saw my routine activity day by day. At the moment when i sleepy, i choosed took some rest for a while.
Greatful Lord, enter third month, i've got my second ART that has responsibility to several job at home like cooking, washing, house cleaning, etc. I has trained her for several time before my maternity leave finished. My hubby and i became more happy because we have more time for rest. Until third month we both was went to several place to enjoy our lil family time like Bandung, Bogor, several mall at Jakarta, so fun.
Now, i feel amaze that i have working at the office for more 1 month. Juggling time for pumping at the office, teaching, meeting, and another working activity, mix with my time being wife, and also Edgar's mom, sometimes make me feel so tired. But, my hubby always remind m dream (lucky me).
My Hubby and My Edgar are my wonderful present for My Almighty God. Love u both...
