what a headache

I'm having a terrible headache today. Must be the (hot) weather - after all that rain. Or maybe my 'Staying Indoors Syndrome' is back. I used to feel giddy and nauseous if i had to stay at home all day. O YES, i've been "cured" of that sickness!!! Weird how i didnt even realised that i was healed. Heehee...

Now that i recall, carrying/having baby Joel kinda made me stay home more. When i was pregnant, i still loved to go out. Somehow, after he's born (and looking after him 24/7) makes me have second thoughts about going out. Okay, make that triple thoughts. Even when transportation isnt a problem (when my sis drives), i would still hesitate about going out. Just thinking about the preparation work before we leave the house is enough to put me off.

This is what goes on in my head:
1. Going out about how many hours???
2. Gotta pack how many 3-hourly bottles + 1 extra + 1 extra for water???
3. Fill them up two-thirds with lukewarm water, and bring the remaining hot water (in a flask).
4. Divide the formula milk in the "special container" (which i've grown to love for the ease of pouring it out QUICKLY).
5. Bring extra diapers & wipes. (Has he pooed today???)
6. Grab an extra romper, towel, bib, tissue...
7. Take the pacifier (very important).
8. Take the babysling.
9. Pack the diaper bag neatly. (I like to find everything that i need easily)
10. Make sure my purse & keys are in too.
11. Need umbrella/cardigan (for myself) and the stroller rain cover???
12. What else, what else, what else... Hmmm...

It does seem like a lot of work huh! Even as i type this list, i'm trying to see what else did i forget to "pack in"! Haha!

No more days of carrying your own nice nice bag to match your clothes. Just wear whatever is easy and/or feels comfortable - especially with the babysling on. No more days of letting your hair down coz baby Joel has learnt to pull my hair!!! No more days of putting some extra things in your bag. Just cash & keys will be good enough. Or else the bag will be too heavy.

Ok, we're staying indoors today. So this is just prep-work in my head. Hmm...is that causing the headache?! But i'm planning to go shopping with baby Joel (alone) tomorrow. Hope i dont get one of those Triple Thoughts again. ;)
