Entry #1 - edited.

I'm starting this blog because I am currently reading The Milk Memos by Cate Colburn-Smith and Andrea Serrette which was passed to me by my cousin, also a Milk Mama. Reading through the intro made me want to weep because suddenly I felt like there was somebody out there who actually understood what I myself have been struggling to understand these past couple of months.

I am in a hospital ward as I type this. My just turned 5-month old son is being treated for pneumonia and we've been here since Tuesday. Today is day 5. I've missed 4 days at work, which included a workshop that I organised. It also looks like I'll be missing at least another week, which means the Dialogue session I'm supposed to be event managing will have to be covered by somebody else. And my boss will probably have to take up all my left-undone work. Don't think they'll be happy about this.

That was a couple of months ago. I never got around to publishing that. Work (and life) has been a whirlwind since then.

I'm sure some of you have been through this or will be going through situations like this. Maybe if we band together, life in the office won't look so bleak.

I'd like to open up this blog for anybody who wants to share their experience, thoughts, rants, vents and words of encouragement. Also your tips on pumping, breastfeeding, weaning, anything basically to do with your little bundle of joy or joys ;) So, if you'd like to scribble something down, email me, and I'll give you author access.

I think it's time for us PETRONAS Milk Mamas to unite! Maybe even with just a secret smile when we bump into each other in lifts while lugging our "camera" bags.
