Dear Layla,

Thank you for giving me the privilege of being a mom. After having you, did i realize how much I've always wanted to be a mom. You've been everything I've prayed for and more. When i was pregnant, i silently prayed for a healthy, adventurous, curious, happy, chatty baby that's eager to learn and explore. Thank YOU for hearing my prayer. And Thank you, Layla, for showing us (your papa and i) how much we are able to love beyond what we thought we knew was love.

This journey is not without its struggles though. As much as i enjoy being your mother, i am faced with challenges, dilemmas and insecurities daily, some days are bigger than others. But I'm grateful for the support, im grateful we have our strong family unit, i am grateful we have each other to get us through each day. Despite the challenges, we start each day and end off every night with a smile on our faces and our hearts.

Your existence prompt me to reevaluate on my values, my behaviour, my beliefs, my conversations, my thoughts, my relationships, my future, my fears, my time, my health. I will strive to be as authentic as i can as a mother, building a trusting and respectful relationship with you. I am here not to teach, i am here to learn. I am human, and i will make mistakes, but i must remind myself to always practise self-compassion.

This is just the beginning. I don't know how the road ahead is gonna be, but let's go, let's have fun!

I love you Layla Woo. ❤

Can't believe it's Jul already! In just 2 months, my baby will be 1 year old. Where did all that time go?

Most people had much expectation of 2021. People expected for life to resume to 'normal' (what does that even mean anymore), to have gatherings, to dine with their friends and family, mostly to travel, etc. Well, we are now in the second half of 2021.. pretty much still the same like 2020. And I'm still loving it! I lament like most people, about not being able to travel, but more about not being able to eat piping hot food when we can't dine in.

But i also truly believe in what Eckhart Tolle said, that 'Adversity plays a critical role in the evolution of our consciousness. Without it we would not learn to lead an awakened life.'

So, with no expectation of the rest of 2021, i shall jump into it with a joyful heart!

HELLO, JULY!

When Layla first started solids, i was so fixated on babyled weaning. I wanted her to be able to feed herself, i wanted her to experience all those sensations from the food, i wanted her to develope her motor skills while feeding herself.

I must admit, it went well when it first started. But i was working and could not attend to her meals for 3 months. In that period, my helper and my mom was too afraid to let her feed herself, they just can't bear watching her gag. So they started feeding her.

When i took over after my production ended, she's learnt to open her mouth at the sight of spoon approaching her. For 2 weeks i tried to adjust her back to blw. She was so confused, and she also wasnt eating well with all my fussing. I was upset, she was upset. It took an entire hour just to feed her, a really unpleasant 1 hour too.

I struggled. I struggled with holding on to my ideals. I wanted the vision i played in my head to come true.

I almost sacrificed my daughter's happiness for my ego.

That's when i decided, it doesn't matter if its traditional weaning or babyled weaning. As long as she eats well, grows well, she enjoys her meal time and we enjoy our time together, how i feed her shouldn't matter. She will eventually learn to feed herself. It's fine and it's all good!

So much life lessons to learn in parenthood. It constantly challenges me to reflect on my thoughts and expectations. One thing i keep doing in this motherhood is to keep reminding myself to be mindful. And to stay happy!
