Day 14

Dear Journal,

It's been 2 weeks already!!!! Time pass by so fast. Kelly looks so much bigger now compared to the first week and I think she got chubbier too. I have to buy clothes for her soon if she keeps growing this fast. Kelly isn't crying as much now too so it's not as bad as the first week. I even got to do some chores around the house when she was napping and she's alright now with drinking her milk. I'm planning to start a trust fund for her soon when I have some more money leftover.



She looks like an angel in this picture, I think I'll dress her up as an angel for Halloween.

That's it for now, I'll post later!

Day 13

Dear Journal,

We went to the doctor today and he said that it wasn't life threatening or anything like that, I guess I'll have to keep her away from dogs. I think I should be more cautious when I start giving her solid food if she's already allergic to something. Maybe I should get her to do an allergy test when she's older; she might be allergic to cats or something. I'm being paranoid and anxious now but at least I don't have PPD; I heard that it can be really bad. I completely understand why parents are so worried now, I used to think parents are being too protective and worried, now I'm just like them.

I wonder if it's a bit overboard if I want to send her to an all girls school. lol. It probably is, being a parent is so much harder than I thought it'll be but talking to my neighbour helps. She's experienced with being a mother; I don't know what I'll do without her.
I'll post soon!

Day 12

Dear Journal,

Turns out Kelly is allergic to dogs; I took her to the park today and a dog came over, Kelly instantly started sneezing. I was planning to get a dog whe Kelly got older too. :( I'm going to take Kelly to the doctors tomorrow to see how bad she is allergic to dogs. Better safe and sorry. It's a short post today but I'll post tomorrow!

Day 11

Dear Journal,

A house next door is doing construction right now and they keep waking up Kelly so she's really grumpy right now. I'll probably go for a walk at the park with her today so she can get some sleep without being woke up. I got a new stroller that is really comfortable for babies to sleep in so it should be fine.

She's also been eating a lot more these days, she's hungry every 2 hours now. Weaning is going to be hard, I think I'll start weaning her after 10 months or so. She'll be able to eat baby food so hopefully it won' t be too bad.



I remember trying baby food before, it was peach flavour and it wasn't too bad but it was really bland. It's like 5 bucks for one can though. My godbrother is eating them too right now, I think I'll buy some for Kelly when she can get them.
I'll post tomorrow!

Day 10

Dear Journal,

I finally got kelly into a daycare near my work for next year! I'm so glad I did some research online on baby preparations. It's so hard to find a daycare for babies these days so I had to line up for a daycare before she was even born. I was worrying about finding a daycare for her but now the problem's solved. :) I also heard that it was a really daycare plus I can go over there within 5 minutes from my workplace if something happens. I'll post later!

Day 9

Dear Journal,

I went to the park with Kelly for walk today, there were also a lot of mothers there with their kids. I can't wait for Kelly to be old enough to play in the park with other kids. I'm going to take hundreds of pictures of her going down the slide, on the swing, playing in the sandbox, I can't wait!!



Kelly's also going to clebrate Chinese New Year for the first time today, she's going to get a ton of money. I'm going guess about $500 or more since she's the only baby in the family right now. I even found a cute New Year outfit for her. It's a bit big on her but she wan wear it next year too. I still can't believe I'm a mom still, it's stressing but it feels great to be a mom. <3

Day 8

Dear Journal,

I can't believe a week passed by already!! I don't know how I even have time to post everyday, it's like war everyday in my house. And I just calculated all the bills for what I got for Kelly. A baby is so expensive and everything is getting more expensive. I don't think my saving would be enough, raising a baby cost $400,000 is a lie, it's more like $800,000. I have to cut back a little if i don't want to go broke.

I need to get back to work next year but it's so hard to find a babysitter or a daycare for a new born baby. There's always my mom but it'll be too tiring for her and Kelly doesn't really like strangers. This is a depressing post, I hope I have something better to talk about tomorrow.
