Being pregnant was tiring.....

Going into labour is an insane process. (I'm serious.... I told Darling I never wanna do this again!)

Parenthood is a 24-hour job...... especially when it's looking after an infant........but Darling and me are loving every minute of it. There are times when we do wish we could get a little more sleep... Seriously, I think we've had less than 10 hours of sleep since Sunday!

Sometimes I feel so super tired that I just wanna sleep some more...... sometimes... we just don't wish to get up..... there are times when we are terribly exhausted and almost frustrated.... and many times in the last few days where we felt lost, afraid and discouraged.......

Yet... despite all of these, we are loving every minute of it. Her every smile, every action, every single thing she does makes it all worth it. And just looking at her..... fills our heart with so much love and warmth, that we don't want to do anything else but to watch over her....

She's barely 4 days old.... yet, we've already noticed so many unique things about her.... her different cries, the kind of face she makes after she poops, whether that action means she's gonna wake up or it's just a distraction in her sleep....... all these can only be possible because we are spending so much time with her.

Darling is excellent with her... It's true. I've always felt extremely lucky to be married to such a loving husband........ but.... just watching him handle her is making my blissfulness jump sky high.... not once has he flinched at cleaning poop or even taking care of me in the first 2 days after delivery when i couldn't even do something as simple as washing up after i use the toilet. Baby Faith simply adores him, and loves his voice.

Parenting is new to us, but even more so for Darling, because, after all, I've always pretended my soft toys were little babies when I was a child, and I've always played with children. To Darling, this is totally foreign ground... yet, he's eagerly learning and finding out more about her every min of the day..........

I wish this week would never end.
The future really is uncertain with so many changes that lie ahead........
It scares the two of us.....
But we know that God has his plans,
and we know that the guiding factor in all our plans and decisions would be Baby Faith's well-being.
Darling will be going back to work on Monday....
I sure hope I'll be able to cope when I'm on my own.......

Here's leaving you with more pictures of Baby Faith!

We saw her first smile today...... and she's learnt to turn to her side all by herself!!!!
