Dear Esther #1

So you’re 17 days old today. Well, last night you gave mummy and daddy a hard time to sleep especially for mummy. Daddy got K.O when I had a sudden hit of headache and flu about close to 11pm. Heard from mummy you had to wake up every 1 hour right after your milk. Daddy still a bit surprised how you can drink so much milk, in that tiny body of yours. Mummy now is pretty much sleeping, while Daddy is half way sterilizing your bottles and boiling hot water for mummy. So in the mean time, daddy may as well write this letter to you.

It has been a joy when both mummy and daddy got the news you were coming soon. Everyone was excited especially your uncles and aunties, and of course not to mention both your grandma and grandpa. Daddy always got lectured by your grandma make sure to take care of your mummy for the next 8 months. Wasn’t easy at first for daddy to adjust though, never the less at the end of the day it was mummy who ended up clearing the mess that daddy did. For the first 2 months, mummy haven’t been really feeling herself as she tends to sleep more and of course not to mention her morning sickness. Daddy feel sorry for mummy because she couldn’t eat much as well, because after that she would throw up again. Basically there have been a lot of changes in her body, and mummy is trying to get used of you inside her body. So you pretty much messed up mummy body system, but that’s ok. It’s normal :)

Never the less, it was exciting each time we visit the doctor as we managed to see you from ultrasound. You pretty much were active back then as I remembered there was one time you had kept stretching yourself when we saw you the 2nd time. You were one pretty active baby then, and we’re very much happy whenever we see you. And daddy was asking mummy how come you never grow after 4-5 months inside mummy’s tummy. Mummy kept telling daddy to be patient, and you would grow when the time draws near.

Anyway, this will not be the first and last letter from daddy to you. I do hope that as you grow older day by day, daddy will record everything down here for you. Until you can pretty much blog on your own :P But never the less, it will always be fun to write the things about you. And don’t worry, daddy won’t be taking any embarrassing pictures of you and post them up here ;) One last thing before I forget, you can get angry at daddy whenever daddy may discipline you in the near future (which I hope daddy won’t have to). But never get angry at mummy ya. She loves you most, and wakes up each time whenever you cry or make small noises to either feed you or just rock you to sleep. It’s not easy for mummy to do so, whereby daddy only can wake up when you really cry out loud :) So do remember that both mummy and daddy love you very much and when discipline comes, you know that we only do it because we love you :)

Ok. Daddy is going to stop now as you are crying now. Going to feed you before mummy gets to you.. I’ll be writing to you soon.

Loving you always,
Mummy & Daddy
