Hello everyone,
Hope all of you are doing great!!
Anna, thanks for thinking about me. I have got a little time today as it is a Sunday and DH is home. Yes, he does work late. He is home by 8 to 8.30 pm and by that time i am totally exhausted. I discussed this with him yesterday and we are considering keeping a help throughout the day. In India, we can get the help easily but i was just wondering whether i would really need it as i do all of Eva's tasks. But now as family members have left it is getting difficult and i better get some me time or i will lose it soon. Today i left Eva with DH and went shopping for a while. We have decided to keep a help throughout the day. But i will have to get the right person and a lot of screening will be required. DH does help but on weekdays he himself is so tired that it is not possible.
Eva has been sleeping in her crib since we got her home. I do take her to my bed once in a while when she is really cranky and it works out well. Otherwise, crib it is. But yes, the crib is right next to my bed so she knows that mommy is around, and i believe in responding to her at her first cry so she has been kind of trusting me now. I read somewhere that for first 3-4 months, a baby should be responded instantaneously to build a confident kid. This is also responsible for my exhaustion. But you win some and lose some. I am a satisfied mom.
