1st week on our own

ui jieThis is day 7 without Mui Jie:

In the beginning it was return of the zombie, Noreen kept crying in the night, we tried all we learned to pacify her. But all else failed. We were really getting panic on what to do. We tried the last tactic we had in our bag. We would wake her up around 7pm and keep disturbing her when she wants to sleep. In the beginning she was feeling so frustrated that she kept crying when she was unable to sleep. But after the 3rd day it seem to work. So till today its been a week we would play and disturb her from 7pm and only around 11pm we would let her sleep, she will be so tired that Noreen will only wake up twice around 2am and 6am for feeding and changing, after that she will continue her sleep without disturbing us. This waking up twice is considered luxury to us.

Today Mui Jie came visit us, it was so thoughtful of her, and she kept nagging us for not keeping the crib tidy. We had unwashed cloths and tissue everywhere, she again start work and clean up the crib and clean up Noreen. We told her about her night crying and she said I thought I already teach you two how to handle? We look at each other and laugh, when Noreen was crying in the nite we were in panic and forgot everything she taugh us.

So Mui Jie again remind us to check whenever continous crying if her forehead and feet were feeling cold. If yes than we are to give her a quater of the Eu Yan Sang Bo Yin Dan. Means she has wind in her stomach. And we should rub some Yu Yee oil on her tummy, back and forehead. Gosh we've completely forgotten everything.

She was so kind, she even bought Noreen some cloths.
