TV is showing 11 more days to 2015 today and we are really counting down towards it. The babies passed their 35th week and we are out of ICU zone at least. Well done, babies...
Mother and Mother-In-Law assured that they will be helping us once the babies are born. MIL should be helping out on the 2nd month. Lest we are assured helping hands till the 3rd month where I should get domestic help by then.
This year's party was a simple affair. They went church in the morning to watch the drama on Christmas. After Service, we purchased Po Piah fillings to DIY and ordered Pizzas for lunch. We played games and enjoyed ourselves in the function room. We then rested in the entertainment room while watching Felin's montage for last year's celebration. The day ended with a nice dinner at the Central coffeeshop. Its a success this year but 2015 celebrations will be a very challenging one and I'm again not sure if we are capable to hold it together with the babies.
MIL helped to clean my house today. Sometimes wondering if my house is really so dirty that she need to mop my house and washed my toilet right after she steps in. As she was looking through the babies room, I put one of the babies clothes on the cover of the diaper changing mat and she immediately bring it out to wash, citing that the cover is dusty. I seriously don't think its dusty because if I did clean it before and I touched the cover umpteen times and never felt dirty about it. She then inspect my wardrobe and fan and told me to clean up the fans.
I am certainly not used to her standard of cleanliness and I think Felin will want this standard for the babies too. She said that babies can catch virus easily and hence everything must be very clean for them. I think its a bit of overdoing it because I think its not necessary for babies to live in a too clean environment. But when I was about to lose my patience, I remembered an advice from a friend. "Always be supportive of your wife. She will not harm the babies." I know what he meant now because his wife is more extreme in term of cleanliness standards. Woman are probably more protective towards the babies as they are so small and fragile. Be understanding...
This is just the start and I have to start imagining when everyone lacks sleep and feel irritated while taking care of the babies, I think our tempers may not be as controlled by then. Having 2 babies are indeed not going to be easy.
