After blogging so many entries about Zhuo Yan, perhaps it's time to update a bit about myself. Ha.

Well, another 10 more days to the end of my confinement!! YEAH!!!!!!! Can you imagine not washing your hair and body for the past 20 days?? Sometimes I can't understand why when jw seems like dragging his body for shower. Bathing is such a luxury to me now and I can't wait to feel the gushing of water down my head and body!!

Obviously, I cannot stand being dirty, so I diligently wipe myself with warm boiled water and rice vinegar every morning. As for hair, I use dry hair powder and comb. In fact, my tolerance limit was reached on day 12! So I too wiped my hair but quickly blew dry! You can imagine my face! I felt so GOOD!!

As for food, I had the same dishes for 12 days and twice a day. That makes it 24 times. Think my mouth and stomach already knew what they would be getting even before I started each meal. It's always fish, long bean and pork. Cooked with ginger of course. My mouth started to ache after the 12th day and I had no choice but to ask my mother in law if I could have other dishes. And now, sometimes, I will have vinegar pork knuckles(which I think is quite nice actually after trying it for the first time in my life), ginger eggs and herbal soup.

During these days, I'm practically like a cow. Either latching Zhuo Yan on for milk or pumping the milk out for storage. Pumping can take an hour at times and before I can rest, Zhuo Yan starts waking up. Sometimes, I literally dozed off while feeding him but I sprang myself awake. Otherwise, Zhuo Yan and I will fall asleep side by side straight after feeding. To me, it's super comfortable for me and I can feel Zhuo Yan likes it too as he cuddles near my body.

For the past nights, I was really concussed, leaving jw to take care of Zhuo Yan alone. Poor jw but I really couldn't open my eyes at all and I even couldn't remember what I did or said to jw when he asked me in the morning. But resting well at night increases my milk supply which is what I've been aiming for!

NOw I'm looking forward to 26 Nov which is Zhuo Yan's 1st month birthday and the end of my confinement! My to-do list is soooooooo long!! Oh well, and my exercise plan starts too! Till today, I have lost about 11.5kg. Another 8.5 kg to go! ARGH! Shouldn't have gained that much weight during pregnancy... Now that I regret.

But being so vain, I sure will shake off the extra weight in no time! I still want to wear my levi jeans!
