HELLO After a Long Long While

Hi hi hi!

Almost a year has passed since I last visited and posted on this blog. Hmm...still the same old me, except that now I am a mother of two instead of one. Joshua was only still a tiny being in my tummy when I last posted and now he is seven weeks old.

It is really energy zapping with Jovan and Joshua running around me, or rather with Jovan running around me and I running around Joshua. Tiring it may be, but definitely worthwhile as they surprise you with their wits and tricks, both knowingly as well as unknowingly. I was really surprised when Jovan all of a sudden took out a red cup and asked me to go out of the house. I realised he actually wanted me to cut leaves for the caterpillars which we decided to keep as pets. I have only done it once. He actually remembered and took exactly the same cup. It is amazing how these seemingly small and helpless beings remember and learn.

Jovan is now recovering from a bad bout of cough and running nose. Joshua is now coming down with it. Though I am enjoying motherhood, it is worrying when the little ones fall ill. Sometimes, I wonder if I have done anything that causes them to fall ill. Looking on the positive side, they have to get sick to build up their immune system.

The only not so positive aspect of having children is that there is less of individual and couple time. I hope that in the midst of enjoying parenthood, I do not neglect my hubby. It is easy to see him as father of Jovan and Joshua but I think more importantly, he should be my husband. Only then, we can hand in hand be the best parents as we could for the two boys.
