Sometimes you wonder how a baby that looks and behaves like an angel when you see them would behave like a monster when noone's looking? I could not believe it myself...

Like my mom says 'Baby dalam hari, banyak kerenah' (baby who are younger than 40 days are very fussy), which of course, is true. How could I forget when Mas was crying non stop for hours and days, me not knowing what was wrong with her. Sometimes you felt like you wanted to squeeze her or just give her a sleeping shot. And then comes Suraya. She is not as bad as her kakak Mas but she does have her fussy times and she surely knows how to make it known to everyone in the house.

Sorry to paps, this happens when he comes home and when its dinner time. This little girl would behave like an angel until we're ready to eat dinner. Her crying would continue till about 10pm or if I am lucky, maybe around 8:30 or so. You should see her when she refuses to sleep but is sleepy and tired, she would stiffen her body like a piece of hardwood, looking at me and eventually cry at the top of her lungs. Each time without fail, when she finally goes to sleep, I would crawl into bed, wasting no time to catch sleep as I know that she will start her siren again for milk in 3-4 hours. There was once when I crawled into bed at 6pm when she was sleeping and did not wake up till her next milk time...poor me!

Last night, she started to get fussy from 6:30-10pm. She always stops fussing by 10pm. I was already mangled by then, the husband was already snoring and into lala land. Kakak Mas was feeling so bad for me, knowing that I had been trying to put this baby to sleep since 3 hours ago!

Sometimes I could see the husband getting super irritated with her fussiness especially at dinner time. Its amazing how we mothers do not feel perturbed by the baby's ridiculous behaviour...maybe cos we're so used to missed meals and sleeptime, and the baby's fussiness during wake hours are nothing...or is it the mom and baby bonding that would make everything seem so easy? I guess this is our way of life that paps need to know and as the baby grows, it might get worse!

So this morning, after her 6am feed, I tried to catch some zzz's which did not happen till about 9am...45 minutes of naptime for ibu. Better than nothing. Let me see if I could catch some more zzz's after this.

Nazrah : This is why you have not seen me during these hours anymore. There's a soap opera happening right here in my house each night!
