First Time Papa

Gabbie misses her Papa

October29

Papa Jee is out of town on a working trip to KK Sabah since yesterday morning. So I’m taking care of Gabbie for 2 nights, until Papa Jee is back (tomoro night~ Yay!! )

Yeah, you heard me right. Hehe..

Papa Jee takes care of Gabbie most of the time, especially during the night. He totally adores her and is endeavor to spend as much time as he can with her whenever he’s free. He’ll always try to come home earlier to spend time & plays with her before she enters her sleep mode by 7pm/8pm-ish. He takes care of her needs throughout the night. Nowadays she only wakes up 2 times for her milk, one between 11-12 midnight and another around 3am-4.30am

LUCKY me and Gabbie, to have such a devoted & caring Papa/Husband! ^.^ We’re indeed so Blessed.

So its only natural for Gabbie to bonds and loves her Papa a Lot.. but we’re not prepared for her to missed him O.o After all she is only 7 months old~ and he has only been gone for 2 days.. Right??

Well, we’re about to be proven quite wrong.. >.<

Day 2 : After not seeing her Papa for 2 days & 2 nights consecutively.. we think she really do misses him. According to my MIL, earlier towards the evening she was a tad cranky. She was all clingy and wants to be held on.. which is quite normal on the rare occasion when she gets into her “manja” mode. We thought no more of that ..

Anyway a while later, she fell asleep in my MIL bedroom so after I had my dinner & showered I carried her back into our room. As I put her down to her crib, she tosses and turns a bit. On normal days she would just take a quick glance to see where she is and proceed to go back to sleep very quickly.

But earlier on, she opened her eyes, took a look at me.. and after some more toss and turns, got visibly upset. >.< She turns and looks around and starts to whines and tears starts to fall from her eyes! Thinking she was hungry I took her out of her crib.

By the time we got to the living room, her eyes were all red and her face was wet from the tears.. Gosh! And all the while she didn’t really cried out loud or fuss.. she just whines and looks SO sad & unhappy. My heart just went out to her.. so Kolien .. =(

Sad Sad Gabbie

My MIL too one look at her and exclaimed, “You misses Daddy is it??!!”. O.o’ Leave it to the seasoned Pro to interpret babies at a glance! Haha.. Anyway, I even called Papa Jee and put him on speaker mode. The very moment she heard his voice, recognition flash across her face and she was looked around the room to find the source of the her Papa’s voice.. but after frantically looking for awhile she got upsets again.

Unhappy Gabbie :(

So we brought her back to the room and my MIL lay her on Papa Jee’s pillow and even took one of his clean shirt and give it to her as blankie. Hahaha.. I was still quite skeptical on how my 7 months old baby can misses her Papa.. but she does seems to visibly quiets down and stopped whining after that though. @.@

Although she still looks unhappy..but she did stops crying and whining.. and kept fingering her Papa shirt all the while.. MIL says she can smells the familiar scents of her Papa (Eau de JEE ? ) and get comforted >.<

Gabbie Zz-ing w Papa's Pillow & Shirt for comfort!

After tossing and turning a bit more (it took longer than usual) she gradually settle down and slowly drift off to sleep.

So as I sat there and watch her sleep, I realised that Papa Jee is not only an integral part of my lifes.. he’s an important part of baby Gabbie little lifes too..

Gabbie sleeping Peacefully~ dreaming of Papa I hope :)

In the months following her birth, Papa Jee has not only played an active role as a doting Father to her.. but also a very caring husband to me.

Papa Jee and I had gone a long way.. 12 years and counting For Papa Jee (myself inc) and Gabbie, it has only been 7 months+8 days.

But be it a 11 years Love relationship; or a 7+months Parent & Child bond.. time or duration is not the essence. The 3 of us, we are connected by an unbreakable and invisible thread, interwoven into each other’s life and thoughts..

We are a FAMILY..

my Husband, the Father

May30

The moment a child is born,
the mother is also born.
She never existed before.
The woman existed, but the mother, never.
A mother is something absolutely new.
~Rajneesh

I’ve got a story to share ..

2 weekends ago, Papa Jee and I went to Normah Medical Specialist Centre to pay a visit to my SIL. As we step out of the Level 3 lift (Level 3 housed the Maternity ward and the new born Nursery), I suggested to Papa Jee to stop by the Nursery; as I’m curious to see how the newborn are housed.. since I missed out on Gabbie’s

In KPJ the nursery are curtained at all time thus you can’t really view the infants inside without special request.

Anyway.. as we approach the Nursery we both heard the muffled sound of baby cries. True enough, as we peered through the glass door into the nursery - a newborn baby (a Baby boy, from the blue blanket) was howling angrily.. the baby obviously was very upset as he’s crying on the top of his lungs and were kicking his little legs angrily in protest!

Both of us watched helplessly as we see the baby cries and kicked in earnest. We kept searching with our eyes to see if there were any nurse present in the nursery.

Don’t they know that a baby is crying?

Is there no nurse present to provide comfort or tend to that little newborn?

What can we do? Can we go to the counter to tell the nurses there that a baby is crying and need attention? What if they ask us, who are we to the newborn? His family? Relatives?

O.o” To which we answer … No. We’re just some passer by.. a stranger?

All this were racing in my head as I watched the little baby cries and howls.. And I can see from Papa Jee’s face that he’s probably thinking along the same line.. We were both at loss to what we can do for the little guy and were very worried.. The mother in me wanted to just open the door (which is locked) and go in and give the little guy a hug and offer some comfort..

After what seems to be eternity, we finally saw a nurse walked out of the inner part of the nursery wheeling another newborn. Part of me were relieved, and yet I hear another part of me are screaming..

SO THERE WERE A NURSE IN THERE!

Why hasn’t she attended to the poor crying baby?!

Why has she allowed him to cried for so long??

We continue to stand there to make sure the nurse does attend to the baby and after some moment later, I tugged on Papa Jee’s sleeves and urged him to be on our way. I think we were standing at the nursery for a good 10 minutes before we finally tore ourself away from it.

As we walked slowly, we were both silent and deep in thought. Then I murmured, “Very pity ho, that baby. To be crying to that extend for so long.”

To which Jee the replied, “Yeah! Its outrageous how they kept him crying in such manner and did not attend to him.”

He paused for a moment more, looked at me in the eye and with gentle voice, touched his chest with his palm and says.. “My heart feels sore and kinda hurt you know.. listening to that little baby cries like that.. I never knew that I will felt this way, although that baby is not related to us.. I suppose with Gabbie’s arrival and being Father does changed things.. ”

He then chuckled to himself, as if he was embarrassed to have said that.

Hearing him saying that, at that very moment, a warm fuzzy feeling just filled my heart and if I ever have any doubt about him being a father, it all had disappeared there and then! And I just knew that I have loved the right man and he will be a Great father to our little Gabbie.

Oh! At that moment if its possible, I do loved him even more!

As we continue walking, my hand enveloped in his large and warm hand.. with him by my side; I feel that am ready to take on the many challenges of Parenthood.. whatever that may come our way.. as we continue to Love and nurture our little angel daughter and help her grows into a fine Lady.

Its funny how the arrival of the helpless, fragile little being that is our child can really change our life. Such is the wonder of Babies and the world of Parenthood.

Because of her arrival.. My husband.. is now a Father~
