People always ask me “how do you handle 2 kids, work, maintain a good rs with your husband, have a social life and take care of your own well being at the same time?” My answer is... I DON’T 😂 I don’t always have it all together, even if it seems like I do.
Becoming a mom at 21 was never part of my plan, and the younger Naomi would’ve never imagined herself becoming a mom of two by 25.
There were definitely days when I miss my life before the kids (i think it’s completely normal & okay to feel this way) and days I just wanna stay in the shower a little longer so I can avoid playing fight with my 3 year old toddler lol
I miss hanging out late without having to go on the baby monitor every 5 mins to check on the kids/frantically looking at the time on my phone’s screen and calculating how many hours of sleep I’d be left with if I stayed out for a little longer, I miss going wherever I want and doing whatever I like without worrying about pumping/sleep/school/feeding schedules, I miss not worrying.
But are u f kidding me? Did I go through 2 x 10 months of pregnancy just to tell you I wanna be alone and go back to my old life? Shut up. 😂
I do miss my life before the kids, but you know what I’ll miss more? I’ll miss feeling this way one day when my kids are no longer kids anymore. Just like they always say, “the days are long but the years are short.” So I’ll hug them a little tighter and carry them a little longer while I can, because these will be moments I’ll miss the most.
Motherhood has given me a combination of my worst days and my best days - it has taught me about unconditional love, selflessness, patience, compassion, resilience, failure, pain, happiness and more things about myself I never knew before.
I’m who I am today because of them and I’ll never trade my beautiful children for anything else in the world.
Being a mom isn’t an easy job, so thank you every mama out there for your love, support and guidance! Today, we celebrate US. Happy Mother’s Day ❤️

A day to remember.
I am sooooooo proud of my child.
She slept from 7pm-730am, all on her own!! (Ok, she woke up once at 1030pm from a nightmare, but went bk to sleep mins later after patting her.) Apart from that, she slept through the night for the very first time without sleep training! Ahhhhhhhh.. what a dream you are, Layla Woo!
Just a few days ago, i was talking to a friend about how Layla is ready to be sleep trained. But i know i am too weak hearted to practise Cry It Out method with her. In my heart, i knew i would be okay even if she continues to wake up once at 4am for a prolonged period of time. So my plan was to just let it be and not sleep train her.
But what i did tho, was to start weaning her off the swaddle. So last night, we let her sleep with 1 hand out. I was prepared for her to not sleep well since she'll need time to adjust. I was ready to be awake a few times at night.
At 430am, i woke up to check on the baby monitor, she was sound asleep. So i went back to sleep, expecting to be awake in the next half an hour. The next thing i know, i jumped up at 7am with rock hard and leaking breasts, and my baby was still sleeping. Aww, I wanted to cry! Soooo proud of her, this little champion!
For the rest of the day, she also decided that she's ready to master her flip! 2 weeks ago, she flipped for the first time. But i felt it done unintentionally. And since then she didn't do it again. But yesterday, she flipped over again again. Eager and excited to practise this newfound skill! I am such a proud mama, cheering her on with every flip!
It's now 520am. I just pumped. Layla has upgraded to a sleep sack from a swaddle. And from the looks of it, will be sleeping through the night too! I can't be more proud of her. She's saved me from the traumatic experience of sleep training her!
I wrote this post not to boast. But to remind myself of such beautiful days. Bcos with a baby, everything is a surprise, everything is unpredictable. She can be STTN tonight and going into sleep regression the next. So on nights like these, i celebrate!
Thank you Layla Woo. You are truly such a dream!

It's important to follow up with your paediatrician on your baby's growth and development.
Head Circumference and length is an important tool to assess they are growing well.
Refer to Growth Chart - to monitor whether they are
underweight , overweight or within limits.
Don't miss on their Vaccine shots .
The first 6 months of growth can tell us so much on our babies progress.
Try Breastfeeding fully upto 6 months if possible.
The longer the better for the immune system.
A crying baby is good .
At 3 months babies usually sleep 18-20 hours .
Sleep is important for babies growth.
Do avoid pacifiers if possible .
Parents need to know the milestones of babies
Grasp object - 3 months
Reaches for objects at 5 months
Babies coos and babbles at 6 months
Holds own bottles at 7-8 months
Crawls at 9 months
Walks independently at 13 months
Some of the signs you need to be aware if there's a developmental delay.
But again every Child is different
But we need to be knowledgeable to identify them.
Salam Everyone
Love As Always
PS - Emelia weigh 4.12 kg and 54 cm in length
Growing well - Alhamdulillah

18 weeks pregnant today! Baby is rapidly growing and kicking up a storm in my belly! Very uncomfortable to sleep lately and lots of awkward stomach pains that I just have to deal with. Also my husband has been losing himself lately so I have to monitor him and keep his diet in check for the sake of his health. Get him back on his feel and keep him energized especially for the baby that will be coming real soon!
