Zyan is 10mths already. My God, Time really flies, just a short while ago my son was still a chubby baby with juicy arm and thigh. Now he is still juicy looking to me but those arms n thigh are definitely looking less tough. Life is jus great, I feel contented and touch on most days. Contended becoz I've got a complete family now, an adorable son, a new job that I like, regain back a somewhat svelte figure. And most importantly, I realise I've got the greatest gift of all. A wonderful husband. It makes me wonder if all those stories of daddy that shun away at diaper change, baby bath and midnight wake to rock baby to slp are nothing but a myth.
Basically Baby Z is taken care of by my MIL during the day, and the night duty is taken care of by both of us. Super Daddy takes care of Play, Feed, Diaper change, Bathe and Rocking of baby to sleep. On the other hand, I take care of Play, wash-up and sterilizing of toys. Thank God for the tremendous blessing of a Super Daddy. Baby has been having refusing to take his night feed and has some kind of night terror in the past 2 weeks. We are guessing that teething might be the case but anyhow, he is waking up at odd hours of the night, started at 5am than 4am than 3am and finally Baby starts waking from 1am. His eyes would be tightly-closed but he would just keep crying non-stop, and the scary thing is that despite us switching on the lights or rocking him gently and than ending up trying to jerk him abit more, but his eyes still remain closed while crying. I warned Daddy not to attempt any further as I recall its not a good thing to wake someone in the middle of sleep walk or even night terror. We just had to bear it through.
Super Dad took up the main responsibility of waking up in the wee hours and patting/rocking Baby bck to sleep. Becoz I can't really handle Baby Z body weight anymore. But also mainly becoz he kinda wants me to have better rest. So sweet right, I know 😍Thankfully Baby has resume his slumber sleep and regular night feed. And Super Dad is finally able to catch up on his sleep.
Till this date, we have no idea what causes the frequent bout of night terror. I tried googling and it seems common. Will just have to keep praying.
