Remember how I was just saying that I am not sure if I preferred my Nanny from previous pregnancy versus my current one?
#dayremummies
Guess what? I had a change of Nanny again! 😭😭
So I had gynae and pd checks on Monday morning (which went well THANK GOD), and we finally got home for lunch.
T and I were discussing over lunch and we concluded that this current Nanny is much better than the previous one because her attitude is very good and in general can tell that she really tries her best to care for me and baby.
However around 4plus, she suddenly got notified that her husband passed away due to a heart attack 😨😨
We were shocked and quickly informed the agency so that they can make arrangements for another nanny to come and also to pick up the current one.
(Ok la I was asleep when all these happened so T did everything. Apparently they said they will sent someone tmr but T was like no you need to send a replacement TODAY).
I really felt like crying because I feel like I have gotten used to having her around leh!
Plus she's really nice, not super naggy and can stand my temper (sometimes I'm really tired, I will snap at her). And whatever I tell her she will take it into consideration and change accordingly immediately which is difficult to find in nannies because they usually want to do things their own way.
However I can tell that she's not Super experienced kind (has worked 2 years as nanny) but overall I definitely did prefer her to my previous one!
My previous auntie was a private hire, recommended by a relative. She is very experienced but can tell that she is here to 'enjoy' life. Plus she is not very pro breastfeeding. I'm not against formula but she tend to overfeed baby with it! Her attitude wasn't super good either, as she tend to be sarcastic.
I did try to ask around for recommendations but apparently I was too late since I only started looking this when I was 5 months pregnant.
Anyway, new Nanny is with us for the third day now.
So far, she is more experienced, hence I feel more relaxed too. However her cooking is not as good as the previous one and she is not as enthusiastic as to serving tea break and supper.
The one that just left can cook red bean soup for me as tea break and bird nest for supper. Damn shiok.
But, most important is baby right???? Hahahaha.
I can tell that she is really confident in handling babies so ok la. She also tries to support me in bf-ing, and will top up with formula after baby latches
This is super important given that Ellie has jaundice so the priority now is to ensure she has enough to drink so that all toxins can be flushed out.
I would say that she is the inbetween of my Nanny from my first pregnancy and the one that just left.
As it is with people, there is no perfection but I'm currently quite happy with her!
I'm really enjoying my confinement this time round!
Minus the fact that I can't shower as and when I like, and can't eat whatever I like.
Other than that, I feel relatively well rested (also because I damn lazy to wake up and pump hahaha) and much more relaxed handling a newborn this time round ☺
Iherb
Been wanting to drag my iherb order but we are out of peanut butter and there's too good a deal to miss.
SEE! #iherb #goodthingsmustshare
How to resist? Plus the kefir I've been eyeing is FINALLY back in stock.
If you are planning an order, you can use my code STV821 for 5% off 😗
If you are already a regular user of Iherb, can also leave your code down below. I typically pick a random code to apply from Dayre to spread the love.
Just saw this notification on FB, it's so sad!
Few places hold sentimental meaning for me but this is one of the rare places that does. It's where T and I had our first 'proper' date, which is the third time we met. Thereafter, we return for special dates occasionally and most recently just before I popped.
I can't believe it! 😥😥
