This is mini at 16 weeks. A late post as he is in fact turning 17 tomorrow.
Mini man has been making vast improvements when it comes to sleep but Mama has learnt not to be overly proud of it as I always seem to jinx myself by doing so. Nevertheless, it definitely is a development that is worth celebration.
*Touchwood*
The plane ride back to Singapore would be the next big test for both Mama and Utt. Mama is keeping my fingers crossed that the comfort boobies are still in operation by then. There always come a time that you wish that the milk supply will never cease as nothing seems to ever comfort the Mini man better than Mama's assets. Whether we want it or not, the breastfeeding journey is gonna end soon and I am hoping with all my might that the weaning process is going to be fine for the both of us.
I am a self declared non breastfeeding fanatic but the past 4 months of putting Mini man close to me and having him feel comforted by boobies is an experience that is rather indescribable. Getting up in the middle of the night for the night feeds has given me a lot of thinking time, particularly effective in the wee hours as there is absolutely nothing else to distract you in the darkness when there is only yourself, the Mini and silence of the night. In the later months when the night awakenings were easier to handle and lesser in frequency, the night feeds were preciously treasured as time that Mama could reflect on events that took place in the day while looking down at the Mini who is at his cutest. When it comes to motherhood, you seem to be in control of nothing and this is probably what makes it the most challenging.

Sometimes in life, we just have to let others take the steering wheel. This time it is Mini.
