Now, I am officially an SAHM - i.e. Stay At Home Mom.
I'll take this SAHM thingy as my main ministry for God's Kingdom for now (and many, many more years to come) - a primary calling which I received since I was little and revealed to few. I prepared for my SAHM role by um.... studying medicine and theology. :X ~ I must sound like a confused freak.
Never mind.
Anyway, my parents-in-law have left for home - and today saw me running around like a deranged orang utan - round the clock. Washing milk bottles and pump parts, doing the laundry, changing diapers, feeding baby Wong, burping her, cleaning up spills and spit-ups, pacifying the crying baby Wong, trying to get my drawing/illustration work done (unsuccessfully), expressing milk (via pump - and pumping with loads of adrenaline and stress hormones coursing my veins too, since Sophie was wailing while I was pumping and was therefore unable to be with her)... you name it. It felt a little like the Emergency Room rotation back when I was a medical student!
Of all days, Sophie had to be extra fussy today.
I was exhausted (not to mention lonely) - especially since we just returned from our trip yesterday evening. Couldn't have been more relieved when Ben came home from work! However... it was kinda fulfilling, I must say.
Praying that I would be able to get the hang of being SAHM soon.
