My baby is 7 months now! How time flies and i already miss his infant days as i view his newborn pictures on the laptop. Today he can roar like a lion cub, suara lantang! He has been twirling twirling on the bed, almost ready to crawl i think. Most people are concerned about their baby's milestone, and by now Luqqie Bee should be crawling and sitting on his own already but i will let him take his pace in that department. There is no need to rush because today he is one perfectly healthy baby.
He is also very responsive towards me, when i come home everyday he will beam and flash his biggest smile, all with glee, maybe he has been waiting one whole day for me and just the sight of me makes him jump like a bee!
There still exist the guilty feeling of leaving him with my mother and the maid whilst i work. More guilty feeling if i decide to run some errands or meet a friend after work, more 'me' time but it also means less time with my baby. That is why i prefer to carry the baby wherever i go.
I know that being a mother, there is no substitute for you. Not the father,not the doting grandparents, and certainly not the efficient maid. The mother is the circle of the baby's life. Sometimes people call this overprotective, but the baby came out of me, so it is only natural that God create this feeling, this sense of belonging and overprotection over the baby. And it is only natural that a mother only wants the best for her baby.
I am extremely lucky to have families as caretakers for my baby when i am away at work, or in cases that i wont be able to bring the baby along. But i still want to be there for him all the time, and i dont want to miss out at all at this crucial time when he is growing up really fast, the first few words, the first step, the introduction to food! As much as i miss his happy grin, i am sure my baby misses me more since i am still breastfeeding.
Being a mother, there is so much to sacrifice, going over and beyond what others think...but of course every mother will tell you that it is all worth it. And still,all the books will tell you that the mother's face is the most interesting thing in the baby's early world!
Luqqie Bee , Mommy wuvs u 4eva!
