Happy birthday to Me.

Exactly 30 years ago there was lady in her early twenties gave birth to a baby girl. That baby girl now has grown up and she herself has turned into a mother of a 2 months old baby. It's only after she has given birth to a baby herself that she realised that birthdays are not just a happy occasion to celebrate the birth of oneself, but also a day that our mothers has gone through hard and pain for us. I have just turned 30.... Happy birthday to me and thank you mummy for all that you have gone through! I love you.

妈妈我爱你。你真伟大!
Romancing each other has been a form of luxury ever since we have Natalie. Not that I am grumbling or expecting any lavish gift or candle light dinner. I didn't even get a birthday greet from Jeff at all. He has totally forgotten about my birthday, to make me even more disappointed, there were so many occasions that he could have seen the date while reading the newspaper, surfing cable tv, walking pass the calender, he simply didn't notice it. I told him I am very upset and disappointed today, he even asked me why? Of course I didn't tell him, I don't see the point to enforce it anymore. It is really meaningless when I have to remind him of my birthday. I felt so NOT LOVE now...

Really tired, since the nanny left her employment at my house, Natalie has been very fretful for the pass 3 days. She doesn't want to drink her milk even when 5 hours has gone since the last feed. She screams and cries very loudly, pushing the milk bottle away. I am wondering what has gone wrong as she usually wants her milk within the 4 hours interval. Now she drinks about 4oz (120ml) each time, is it too much or too little?

Last night she had her last feed at about 10pm and lasted till 6am in the morning, is it normal? She still wakes up in the middle of the night at about 3am, 4am, 5:30am so on, and I thought she wanted milk, so I prepared her formular but in the end it all gone to waste. While the nanny was around, this didn't happen, nanny told me Natalie will wake up at about 3am for her milk. I guess she misses the nanny....

Jeff just walked passed me but didn't say a word, he could sense that I am unhappy but he just don't know why I am unhappy. Still didn't realise today is my birthday.... He must have thought that I am throwing tantrum for no reason and is ignoring me now.

i am surprise your husband has forgotten your birthday considering all the other lovely things he has done. like your other readers have said, he might have some planned for you. however if he didn't, i just wanted to say don't be too beat up about it. man are sometimes so insensitive, especially with things like this. ok - i would be upset too if my husband forgets my birthday, but hey its not the end of the world. the most important thing is he loves you and you must know that right ? :) Cheer up girl, Happy Birthday.

Hey Noelle, Happy Belated Birthday!

By the way, though I am not 'qualified' to give any baby advise, but I can give you tips from the kiwi's (i.e western) way of taking care of their babies.

Kiwis and westerners in generally believe in leaving the babies alone unless they are hungry or hurt... so parents don't really give their babies much attention when they cries at night. It trains the babies to sleep through the night, which is gd for both baby and parents.

So, you might want to do some research on such self soothing methods... I think that's quite a cool idea. Well, just my 2 cents worth from someone who has no kids yet! (but surrounded by frds with kids)
