Thanks for the hugs! :)<BR/><BR/>Debi - It brought me wonderful memories when I typed this post. If only I could turn back the time... *sigh*<BR/><BR/>Nymeth - She really is a wonderful lady! It seems like I've to contact her agent if I want to get in touch with her. I can't believe one month has passed just like that... it seems like yesterday when I had given birth to Kai Lin!<BR/><BR/>Shana - I'm not sure about other Asian countries but it's definitely a tradition in Singapore and Malaysia to engage a confinement lady to take care of the mother's and the baby's welfare. My in-laws stay in the same neighbourhood as us so it's not that bad when the confinement lady has gone home.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967837585961009598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-78471296350474480652008-10-29T10:34:00.000+08:002008-10-29T10:34:00.000+08:00Oh, Melody, she sounds amazing and I'm sure you'll...Oh, Melody, she sounds amazing and I'm sure you'll miss her for many reasons.<BR/><BR/>I love the concept of a confinement lady. I think it should be introduced in the US. Even though I lived in the same town as my mother w/ the last two babies she was not able to help me much. The entire post-partum experience would have been so much better with the kind of assistance you describe!<BR/><BR/>Shana<BR/><A HREF="http://blog.literarily.com" REL="nofollow">Literarily</A>Shanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07303029261460733363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-210890693536915752008-10-29T05:52:00.000+08:002008-10-29T05:52:00.000+08:00You have every right to feel emotional, Melody!
