Top ten surprises of new parenthood

Surprise #1: Your relationship with your partner will change (for the better definitely!=))
Surprise #2: You'll have no idea where the time goes (so true... I really lost track of time sometimes.)
Surprise #3: You may look different
Surprise #4: You'll join an exclusive worldwide club
Surprise #5: You'll be stronger than you ever imagined (Yes. I have never expected myself to be so strong both mentally and physically. Never in my whole life.)
Surprise #6: You'll make "mistakes" you never anticipated
Surprise #7: Your friendships will change (only keeping friends worth keeping and not wasting time for the unnecessary.)
Surprise #8: There'll be times when you hate parenting
Surprise #9: You'll be overwhelmed by love (and other emotions) (=...()
Surprise #10: You'll have to let go sooner than you think (I have learnt to live life alot easier.)

No matter how much you prepare for it, parenting will blow your mind.Your kids will challenge you, bring you to tears, crack you up, and make you forget what you urgently had to do. They'll shatter the life you knew into a million pieces. Then they'll put it back together, like a stained-glass window, into something infinitely more complicated and beautiful.

The past few days have been a real challange for me. I am glad I survived. Well enough to look back and smile.

Taking care of zy almost alone for so many days has really tire me out (jw was travelling and I moved to my parents' house). My family did help a fair bit after coming back from work (grateful=)) so most of the time, I was alone with our little rascal and can you imagine, I was so afraid that I could not cope.

zy has been kinda clingy since last week and kept saying "mamamamamama" and wanting me to carry. I do not know if he is calling me but it seems that he needs me to be around all the time ( I can only go to the washroom when he naps!).

I think I need amazingly well handling zy. I brought him to take the MRT, to shopping and to the library! I could see that zy was really very happy and I was really happy too.

I have finally overcome my phobia. I am a real mother now.
