Parents are the one who support and provides the needs of the family. Nurturing is one of the tasks that they give us since birth. They are the reasons why we survive and able to appreciate the beauty of the world. Without them, we would be nothing.
However, being parent is not easy. Most especially if you are a first time parents. This is what we feel right now. Though it’s been four weeks since I gave birth. Four weeks is been difficult yet rewarding. It is difficult because we are still adjusting in terms of having less hours of sleep; we tend to freak out if the baby cries out loud. You will feel exhausted in singing, dancing and swaying just to let her to calm down. But then, when you see her smile all your worries, fears and wearies will be fade away. This will be rewarding.
These are the things that we don’t know what to do being a first time parents.
1. How to hold the baby. I’m afraid that I might let her fall or broke her tiny bones. For the first week, I always swaddle her because this is the only way that I am confident to hold/ carry my baby.
2. How to take her a bath. After we discharge from the hospital, the following day, I let my neighbor do it because I’m afraid that she might slip out since she’s too small. I can’t do it also since I still have my wound due to c – section.
3. We really freak out at first 2 weeks when the baby cries aloud. Good thing that we read some information. Crying is the only form of communication newborns have. Crying does not always mean your baby is hungry. She may be tired, bored, lonely, feeling too hot or too cold or she may poop. After knowing it, we apply this to our baby.
Today, Chloe Nina Marie is celebrating her four weeks old. We are also proud to say that we had been adjusted to the situation that we had. To all first time parents out there, me and my husband would like to say: “KUDOS” to all of us!. To all kids who are reading this, love your parents for you owe them a lot.
