bliss....

3.5 days old... that's how old Emma is at this moment.. and she's just so cute... so endearing.... until she cries that is... friends who've visited us and heard her cries will tell u she's got a really loud voice for a little 2.5kg baby... our lactation consultant from the hospital calls Emma the "chilli padi"... so small, but so loud.. hahaha.. well.. that's my girl! loud is good! hehehe...

Ade's a lot better after close to 2 days at home... but one thing for sure, today didn't seem like a Sunday to us.... our routine has changed.. every 2 or 3 hrs is Emma's feed-time, and I think Ade's doing a wonderful job as a mother... saw Emma lying next to Ade during one of the feeds, and lo and behold, both of them were sleeping! it was such a sweet moment to savour... somehow, watching Emma sleep just warms my heart... the sight of it just builds me up.. =) I think this is how God watches over us too, always looking at us very attentively, very intensely, very patiently... that is a nice feeling to know that Someone's watching over us....

[ daytime nap... ]

[ evening nap... see the mittens? so cute.. btw the other mitten has "I Luv Daddy" on it.. sorry, but I just have to say it.. hahaha]

so far, Emma cries mostly for milk, and not so much for attention... well at least for now.. tsk tsk.. but we pray that she'll be like this even as she grows up with each passing day... =) else we surely will have to go through excessive sleepless nights....

anyway, I can't believe it's already end of the weekend, and it's back to camp for me tomorrow (I'm still on course right now).. will be arranging my time to spread out my 3-day paternity leave entitlement over the week...
