chapter 3: my beam of joy

I recall fondly, that she slept excessively

as if she was still in her warm, dark environment

i had to re-learn about breastfeeding and sleepy baby

i had to wake her up for nursing

it got more difficult, milk built up and i got extremely engorged

soon she began to self wake for hunger

soon she learnt about mama's scent

it is pride

to be able to nurse her exclusively

to be able to console her when she is cranky
it is joy
to see her latch on and suck well

to see her contented and fall asleep in my arms

it is love

to coo and cuddle her

to see her eyes shine at me

i recall fondly, that this was her peak of her baby fat

she was just 2 months old
