Joshua is my Superman!

the wee hours in the morning

I am definitely not the only one with sleepless nights (and days) in taking care of Joash. For a person who usually cannot function without the full 6 hours of sleep, Joshua is valiantly coping with perhaps only two sessions of 2 hours of sleep at night. Since I am already exhausted with the feeding schedule plus I am supposed to be in confinement, which means I should rest more, Joshua took the enormous effort to not only help take care of Joash but also take care of me.

I am amazed that my husband can now actually hear Joash cry and wake up before I do! He will bring our son to me for feeding, heat up my midnight food while I nurse Joash, carry Joash around for a walk to put him to bed as I eat my meal then wash up the dishes after I'm done and even massage my aching muscles before we fall asleep again! There are even times when Joash refuses to go to sleep even after the feed so he carried him till the next feed while I sleep... and he still has to go to work the next day. Goodness! God has truly blessed me with a fantastic husband! God must indeed be the One who sustains him...

I can't believe that he still feels so inadequate. Joshua muses that Joash cries when he changes his diapers.

My dear bear bear... Joash cries whenever we change his diapers or bath him. He wails as loudly whenever my confinement lady or I do the same so it's not just you. So cut yourself some slack, yah?

Joshua makes a great husband and father, don't you think? *wink*
