New Mom

11 Oct 2012 (This blog has started late...)

This is the way I started to write the journal. It’s in the afternoon, wash the dishes done, wash terra’s cloth done, poo done ;)

After so looong waiting to have a journal where i can express what i feel about life and anything stuff in my head, finally i can start to write, with one word, OVERWHELMED.

Everything is overwhelmed.. J

New adventure of 1year marriage life in Melbourne, learn to raise up the gorgeous Terra, support and love husband Oldy, and be me...

Ok so today, mom whatsapp me, asking about how’s Terra’s development.

Easy to answer actually, but a lot of things in mind. Well, finally i can say it’s easy to be answered, but comparing with yesterday, it’s a different case. The thing is that, I’m a new mom who has no assistance taking care of her, except my lovely husband. As a new mom, a bunch of list of how-the-normal-and-great-infant-development is in my head. Her motoric skill, her speech, social development, brain development, weight-height, and so on and so on. I’m kinda intimidated by my friend’s son who has a same age as her, and he has shown a ‘good’ progress such as able to prone by self. And terra, she needs help to do so. Since then I browse in the internet finding any source about motoric development of 3-4 month old baby. Luckily I found a group forum that solve my curiosity.

The main point that inspire me is that, kid is God’s gift, and He created them so unique. So just be grateful for that. Don’t force them too much, because naturally they learn to understand their new life by themselves, and of course need our support to make it happen. Just be a good supporter who encourage and cheer them up and not push them too much base on any graphic of table of child development nowadays. Plus, don’t compare them to any of the other kid as you also don’t want to be compared to anyone else.

Hoo God, i was so wrong worry about terra too much. I asked forgiveness, and Journal, please do remind me to raise up this gorgeous girl with love and be optimistic, because she’s so special, and clever (oo, at this moment, as a flash i look at her cute face, how i always missed your beautiful smile, my baby girl... J). Terra, forgive mama for comparing you with other kid, and mama promise not to do it again, now, even on your teenager, and until forever. This is my pledge.

Sooo, i know what should answer of my mom’s question :)
