Left to fend for myself

Such an apt title. Its been 2 days since the confinement lady left. It hasn't been that bad. Gabriel has been rather kind to us and been on his best behaviour. I've worked out that in order to keep my precious sleep at night as intact as possible, I'll have to keep him awake till as late as possible and up his milk intake at his last feed. Somehow it worked for the last 2 nights and I hope it will continue to work. ~Fingers crossed~

Went to my in-laws place yesterday. Felt damn stressed! My MIL seemed to be watching over me like a hawk... like how I shld not carry Gab too much or how I shld apply sesame oil on his belly button when he bathes to avoid water from entering it (?!?!). I guessed she meant well but I'm just going to smile and nod, then one ear in-one ear out. I don't really believe in such old wives tale. Thankfully, The Husband doesn't buy them either or it'll really be nightmare for me!!
