Hi all! I’ve received a lot of requests for my god ma’s contact. As far as I know, she is fully booked until further notice. Sorry if I’m unable to share her contact until she is available again. Thank you!
Today is the last day my confinement nanny will be with us. I have been dreading for this day to come…
Aunty Yx has been an amazing company and help for the past 2 months. I’m not exactly an easy person to stay with. I have a little ocd problem lol and I always prefer not to have a stranger staying with me hence I refuses to get a domestic helper despite my husband’s persuasion. But Aunty Yx makes us felt so comfortable that she is like part of the family already.
Aunty Yx was recommended to me by my brother in law’s friends. And they were right… She is VERY GOOD.
When Noah was diagnosed with TAPVD, she was there. She was there to comfort me… Cry to herself and looking forward to baby’s discharge from hospital together.
I remember how she was disappointed everytime we came back from the hospital and inform her that Noah can’t come home yet. And when the day baby can finally be discharged, she was super excited and happy. 🙂
She is an amazing cook. I especially love her pig throttle vinegar and meesua. She is very knowledgeable and knows what food helps with increasing breast milk. If it’s not for her, I will never know pig liver will cause milk production to decrease!
As Noah just went through a heart surgery, we were instructed to keep hygiene level to the highest. Initially I was worried Aunty Yx won’t be able to keep up with our expectation. But my worries were unnecessary. She is more hygienic than me given that I have ocd. She sanitize her hand everytime before she touches baby. She remember to clean the surgery scar with alcohol swap. She prepares 2 tub of cool boiled water every morning. One for baby’s face and one for baby’s bottom. She will remind me about baby’s medication if I’ve forgotten about them.
She can be rather naggy at times but I know it’s for my own good. Whenever I shower too late, she will reprimand me and warn me about having headache in future Lol. I vividly remember one night where I just came out from shower to a crying baby. Without drying my hair in the aircon room, I went ahead to Breastfeed Noah. When Aunty Yx walk into my room seeing water still dripping from my hair, she took the hair dryer out and dry my hair for me. 🙂
When I had fever a few weeks back, she was very concern and check on me hourly. She helped me Gua sha which really helps in making me recover faster from the fever.
Everyday she will remember that the husband needs a cup of water for every meal. She will make sure my tumbler will always be filled with water. Because of her, I have piping hot soup to drink every night. She ensures that i don’t touch cold water at all so she doesn’t allow me to wash the breast pump parts and bottles. She helps to clean the house and wash our laundry including my husband’s.
My baby is also developing a preference towards her. When he cry, only she can calm him down. Strangely I don’t feel jealous about it. In fact I’m grateful that she loves him like her own grandchild.
You can tell how genuine a person is from their eyes. The love she gave me and Noah will only come from the family and I’m eternally grateful. I’m glad she didn’t give us up when she knows about Noah’s condition. She mention lately that initially she was worried that it’s not gonna be easy to look after him. But she is happy that she took up the challenge and nurse him back to health.
Aunty Yx has been a great company, listening to my woes and worries. We enjoy chatting about everything under the sun and I love learning baby tips from her.
This morning I woke up exceptionally early to spend more time with Aunty. I saw her eyes were red and knew she must have cried earlier on. I tried to hold back my tears but failed to do so when she said she don’t dare to tell baby that she is leaving today. :'(
It’s amazing how such strong bond were formed within 2 months. She is now my Godma and Noah’s God grandma. ^^
Thanks for all the help and love Godma! Although bidding goodbye is always painful but we will look forward to seeing each other again soon!
(And who knows, Aunty Yx might be one of the greatest motivation for us to have a 2nd child. :P)
