be a good mom

my son was born last september 11 and i’ve been breastfeeding him exclusively. aside from the fact that it saves a lot of time and money, breastfeeding has a lot of benefits – both for me and the baby.

the past few days haven’t been so good though. i’d nurse him and he’d be like agitated. i’m sure it’s not because he doesn’t get enough milk because he’d often spit up some after nursing. and he usually falls asleep after feeding and now he’s almost always awake.

yep, i went ahead and got a few things i thought i ought to have when my baby comes. i got a lot of clothes when i had my baby shower but they were all a tad too big, you know, not for newborns. i actually just need tie-sides, because i’m thinking that’s the easiest thing to put on on babies. got a few short sleeved and sleeveless ones… and one with a pooh design i couldn’t resist!

i also got some of the little things i’m still lacking, like diaper clips and a pillow. i bought bolster and pillow cases as well. it’s so much fun looking at my purchases, imagining how my little prince would look in them, imagining what else i’d have to buy.

i still have a cold and i’m still trying to get rid of it. i haven’t taken any medicine for it and instead i’m drinking lots of water and calamansi juice. i hope it’ll be gone by this week…
