Remembering......

Hannah-Maree was born nearly a month ago. This is truly a time of remembering how i took care of Christina when she was brought home to me by my mother. As i take a good hard look at Hannah-Maree, i realized she is just like her mother....the way she sleeps and stretches herself....the very same posture indeed. Hannah-Maree is a good baby in many ways except when she cries for her feed. She must be fed immediately or she will scream the whole building down. After more than thirty years, a baby in the house certainly draw all your attention. In the midst of doing housework or cooking, the moment she cries, everything is put aside to attend to her. The modern baby is so precious.....nothing less than the best the parent can afford is given to her. This baby is truly blessed indeed.
This month is also a time of trying to remember the dishes i need to cook for the nursing mother. This is the most important month for a lady who has just given birth. She needs to eat the proper type of food so as to boost up the health of the mother. So, one imagine the amount of sesame oil, ginger, chicken and meat and fish one has to consume to return to good health. I must say this one month, Christina has indeed much more healthier than before.
On the other hand, i have put on much weight because i share the same food with Christina. I remembered my mum used to have seperate food from us. We would not have a chance of tasting her specially cooked food. Nowadays, because of economic reasons, one can get to eat all type of food if one can afford it and know how to cook it. How time has changed. I just hope it will be for the better............
