Where had Daddy been?

It's been quite a while since I last posted. Not to mention that the new school term has started and thus madness resumes. Some kids in my school were joking around, saying that we're not Singaporeans but Russians, as we are always rushing here and there and even with the syllabus teaching / learning.

How about outside school time? Besides marking, I had to juggle my time between my wife, Boy boy and the cats. Somehow, with the confinement nanny staying with us and helping out, there ain't really much extra time freed up from been relieved from the daily household chores. Time just still ain't enough.

People asked me if it is 'siong' to be a new daddy, in view of sleepless nights of diaper changing and night feedings, as well as the sight of my panda eyes. My answer is that the challenge has yet to come as the nanny is doing the night shift. However, my wife's 3-hourly milk expressing routine in the middle of the night does wake me up for a few seconds and somehow, that interrupted sleep is strangely sufficient enough to render me panda-eyed. I can't imagine what will it be like once we start to take on the night shift in about... 9 days time!! :O

I have been 'rushing' back home after school to maximise my time spent and presence at home to give physical and moral support to my wife and Boy boy. The cats are definitely feeling the change in attention away from them but we still try as much as possible to play with them.

What has the new daddy learnt so far?

1. Being a new daddy is sufficient enough an excuse to go back home on the dot and not feeling any guilt.

2. Being thick-skinned after walking up to female colleagues to seek advice on breastfeeding.

3. Changing diapers and risk being sprayed by Boy boy halfway through the job.

4. Bottle feeding Boy boy till my wrist feels like giving way.

5. Carrying Boy boy in different positions.

6. Being head butted accidentally by Boy boy doesn't hurt any parties.

7. Bathe Boy boy.

8. Talking cock with Boy boy.

9. There are many brands of diapers in all shapes and sizes.

10. Milk powder and diapers cost a bomb.

11. Cats are cheaper to have than kids *DUH*

12. Last but not least, Boy boy sure has huge balls.
