Day 14. I went through half of my journey and counting down to my full moon. Of all the stages, I find confinement is the hardest. Pregnancy, laboring or even taking care of Angel were not as tough as confinement. Alot of firsts in confinement, first time taking ginger in every meal, first time having sesame oil in all food, first time not being able to take bath and wash hair everyday, first time eating pig kidney, first time drinking red dates tea everyday and first time not able to eat fruits and vegetables. Hmm, I was so paranoid that I tell myself to stay away from all these upon full moon. Then again, too much traditional beliefs being brought out by MIL, which I can't accept some anyway. Still, no choice, I had to follow, just in case what she said might come true anyway.
Angel is now growing day by day. Thank God, her jaundice had recovered, but now, she had colic. And this is also tough for me as she will be crying at night. MIL had given her with Chinese herbs and also rubbing medicated oil on her tummy. Yesterday night, she was all right, getting up every 3 hours for milk and sleep well till morning. Hopefully she will recover soon!
And this morning, after taking her bath, looking at her being active, I managed to snap a few shots. I compared with the ones I took earlier, she really grow alot. How I love to look at her every second now.
