This is the 1st time both Dearie & me don't regret returning from our holidays... In the past, on the last day of our holidays, both of us would be sad at how time seemed to fly when we had fun and wished that time would just stop and we did not need to return... But this time, we actually look forward to coming back!
Touched down Singapore at around 2350hrs on 22 Oct 08... took cab home and quickly went to sleep so that early next morning, we could fetch our darling girl back from my in-laws =) Felt very relieved that I could finally use my Medela Pump! In Tokyo, the voltage differs and I couldn't use the pump at all... had to rely on my fingers to do the work... very tiring... =(
Charlotte took a while to warm up to Dearie, guess it was because he hadn't seen her for nearly 2 weeks... She seems to have grown so much since I left for Tokyo on 17 Oct 08! She has more facial expressions now and smiles more readily at us... Her neck is also sturdier now and she can hold her head for a substantial period of time while we hold her facing forward...
Brought her back home... again, she took a while to familiarise herself, after staying with my in-laws for nearly 2 weeks... She seems to have attachment issues, fearing we will leave her again... cos when we put her down even to change her diapers (which she used to like a lot), she will cry her head off! Only when we carry her close to us again, will she calm down...
Oh no... hope we can give her the re-assurance that this will be our 1st and last holiday without her! Next holiday will surely be taken with her (albeit it could be many years down the road)... but both of us really missed her even though we had fun spending time together in Tokyo during our 5 days there...
