This is so irritating! I am sick now, and I have been sick for very very long, and I desperately needed a rest!
The worst is I have to care for a sick toddler for past one week, and he didn't go to school, and my mom wasn't here to help full time, and this toddler is sticky only to his poor mummy.
And today, everyone had their own activities. Today is Sunday. We are supposed to go to my parents in law's house. Parents in laws are busy with activities and hubby is busy with activities, and so the care of baby is left to ME again! And I am sick. For goodness sake. This sucks.
Yesterday I took care of baby whole night too but that's ok as he never really cry much but I will try to let him self settle awhile and if he couldn't, I'll go to hug him. And hubby had to come into the room trying to help every time baby cries. This made me so irritated as I will feel obliged to have to go and take care of baby every time he cries, otherwise hubby will take over or carry him away. But I do not want him to carry him away. He CAN self settle at times! Carrying him away is not necessary to deal with it! He'll never learn to self settle if we kept doing it.
Woke up with runny nose and blocked nose that has already been bugging me the whole night (and actually for every nights for the past week), and that already made me feel so horrible. And I had to leak urine every time I sneeze (due to pregnancy- the hormones that relaxes the muscles and the heavy weighing down on the bladder)! I had to change pantyliners and wash the panties twice last night. And my throat was so parched during the middle of the night, I had to go and drink some water to relieve the dry itchiness.
All these and today, everyone tells me they have some kind of activities to be busy with and cannot help to take care of baby.
I wished to leave baby there for awhile and take a good break, and just focus on taking care of my own body for a change. And nobody will understand. Why can't a stay home mom get MC leaves? I'm going to go on strike today.
Everything just sucks to the max today.

3rd trimester tired mummy & smart 20 month old Kieran
3rd trimester.
The tiredness really sets in.
I'm glad my mom comes to help so that I can occasionally hide away in my room while Kieran is with her outside. Glad my dad and my mother in law comes to help too. I can't imagine being away from Kieran for long period of time.
The haze is terrible. Even now when the PSI level is lower and not as choking as few days ago, I still feel that the air quality is not good. I'm not letting Kieran go outdoors often and I myself wear N95 or a surgical mask if its not that bad, whenever I need to send Kieran to school or bring him back, or bring him to nearby shopping malls.
Kieran is getting really smart!
2 days ago, he shocked us by reciting the Di Zi Gui （弟子規）and he's only 20 months old!
I'll try to upload his super cute video soon. He could recite the first few verses:
弟子规 圣人训 首孝弟 次谨信
泛爱众 而亲仁 有余力 则学文
He can also recite the nursery rhyme:
三轮车 跑得快 上面坐个老太太
要五毛 给一块 你说奇怪不奇怪？
Hubby and I were laughing and feeling so happy when he recited all these. Kieran learns things very fast. We just casually taught him these and he picked them up so soon.
He also loves to sing and sings along whenever I sing him nursery rhyme songs. He will occasionally sings out wheel on the bus, twinkle twinkle little star and 一闪一闪亮晶晶. Its so interesting to hear him sing. Children really have super brains. Absorbs so fast! All the more I must be a good example and not teach him bad things. Or let him see me say or do bad things. There was once he kept saying 吃大便 (eat shit in mandarin) and hubby was very angry, and firmly told him no! and hit his palm. He said that the next day again and was scolded again. Not sure who taught him that as we didn't say it. Maybe papa accidentally said it and he picked it up. Parents are role models for our children and we've got to be careful of our thoughts and behaviours at all times. If I find my child is naughty, the first thing to do is to reflect upon myself (检视自己) as there must be things I have said or done, consciously or subconsciously that affects my beloved child. Understand oneself, understand the child, only then can one be a good parent. Parenthood is such a challenging and yet wonderful journey that I love!
