Ulog #1: It’s Been Awhile...

The last post I wrote was 4 months ago but it sure felt longer than that.

This little person was one of the reasons I put writing on hold. There were just too many things to be sorted out before she arrives and the many public holidays at the beginning of the year were not helping.

In April after she came, I did not feel like doing anything at all during my holiday aka maternity leave. I stayed at a confinement centre (or a postnatal retreat as I prefer to call it) during the first month. It was a real treat! All I had to do was eat, feed, rest and wait for the next meal to be served. :)

This is how my daily holiday meal look like.

The first month passed too quickly and came second month I was back home and on my own. Took me about a week or so to adjust but things got easy after that. I enjoyed the quiet time at home cleaning, organising, decluttering and just enjoying the company of the baby.

When it was time to go back to work, I had a bit of mixed feelings. I could not decide whether I like going to work or staying at home more.

The one month at home had given me a lot of quiet time to bond with the baby and more time for house chores so there were less laundry piling up. 😂

On the other hand, going to work makes me feel more physically connected to the world outside plus there is a guarantee of peaceful lunch.

With things getting back into routine, I felt ready to write again. Funny how it had seemed like an uphill task.

Maybe because I had stopped too long.

Maybe I was on holiday mood.

Maybe I was stuck because I could not think of any quality content to write about.

Just when I was looking for an idea some ladies on #steemitmamas discord were discussing about #ulog and bam! - it was the exact thing I was looking for.

Thanks ladies!
