Chronicles of Fatherhood - a month has past

No wonder so many parents say time flies even faster when u have a child. And if you don't cherish your moments, they will past in a flash. They were right.

The past month whisshed pass in a flash. From roughing it out and my MIL's place, where Amber seems hot and cranky. To our new home in sengkang, where she is still occasionally cranky. 

The Many First Times -
1. Seeing flying poop.. Thankfully I wasn't the target..
2. Participated in bathing Amber
3. Changed her diapers
4. Changed her clothes
5. Putting Amber to sleep
6. Bring her out and carrying her most of the time
7. Survived a pretty massive first month and hse warming celebration
8. Survived a week ourselves without the nanny

Going through the past week, makes me wonder. How does one survive this without extra help? How did our parents do it without a maid or they parents' help?? Were things just that much simpler then? Or have we complicated the upbringing of a child too much. 

Complement that with my ridiculously heaping workload, I'm literally exhausted everyday even though I'm not too sure where the energy was spent. It's just draining....

I'm fortunate that I have a wife that managed many things at home for me. So that I could come home and enjoy Amber. She managed most of the organising of the first month and hse warming. She washes all the clothes and irons them for me. She takes care of Amber by herself when I'm out. Unpacks all the boxes of stuff that I bring home. Let's me indulge in my sinful cooking. Watch TV with me even though she's tired.

THANK YOU DEAR!!!!
