Chapter 192: One month
Since she delivered the baby in nature way, Alice was allowed to go home the next day. Nick and Alice just realised that having a child was not easy at all. The first two weeks was the hardest time for the couple as the baby still didn't have good sleep pattern yet. Austen was different from Hugh, As far as Alice remembered Hugh was calm baby while Austen cried a lot at night. They both had less sleep at night, Nick often slept on the lounge as he had to go to work on the next day.
Alice was lucky as she had her mother in law who supported her and looked after her. Mrs Feng helped her to look after the baby on day time so she was able to take some nap. There were few time when she felt she was not good enough as mother, it was Mrs Feng who soothed and encouraged her as well as guide and assist her.
Her sisters in law were also helpful. Sasha spent most of her time at home and helped to take care of Austen as She resigned from her job and waiting for her visa to go back to country K. She had new offer from local company there. Cacha was the same, as soon as she was home, she would glue her self to Austen. Both Cacha and Sasha never complaint when Austen cried at night.
Sean had no problem with baby austen at all. He and Jasmine only stayed in the Feng old house every weekend. He had been moved out a week after Alice went back from hospital. He rented two bed room apartment for him to share with Jasmine.
The Feng family held a month celebratoon for Austen. It was not a grand one, just a small family gathering plus Hans, Angie and Lisa. Hans came to visit his girlfrined and took her back with him, while Lisa was to attend her youngest brother graduation ceremony.
"I understand now why many young mother suffers from post natal depression" Alice said. the ladies had a conversation at the living room while tge male were upstair.
"Is it very hard ?" Lisa asked.
"Depend on the baby. If the baby was as calm as Hugh, it's much better. it took three weeks for Austen to have a good sleeping pattern. We didn't have good sleep before thay" Alice blurted.
"Well, every baby is different. Austen appetite is better then Hugh. I was very distressed back there because he didn't gain weight as much as he should" Michelle said.
"It is lucky I have mum and these two girls here. They helped me alot " Alice put her thumb up to thr ladies.
"You are right. Mum helped a lot during the Hugh first month as well, she asked me to disregard the midwife prrssure and just kept going" Michelle agreed.
"That's why daughter need mother the most" Mrs Feng smiled.
"Is it very painfull when you are on labour ?" Sasha asked.
Michelle looked at Alice as she also wanted to know. Hugh was born by emergency C section, she didn't experience labour at all.
The male were just arriving at the living room when Sasha asked.
"It was" Nick shivered as he recalled what his wife experiencing that night.
"All pain disappeared when Austen was in my cuddle" Alice giggled.
"It'd called mother strength" Mrs Feng laughed.
"Do you still want more kids ?" Nick asked His wife.
"Of course. But not now, Give me another year or two" Alice then headed upstair to check her baby.
Austen was hungry, it was his fed time but Alice wished to join the fun. So she brought him downstair and breast feed him there. Of course, Nick covered her with light cloths, he didn't want any man saw his wife body part.

"yes. Lets us handle it" Josh smiled.
"I'll ask uncle G for the bride hand bouquet" Mrs Feng nodded.
"Any job for me, Lana and our brothers ?" Cacha asked.
"I need you two to be my bridesmaid" Michelle chose those two plus two of her cousins to be her bridemaids.
"Yes Mam. How about these two ?" Lana asked.
"Sean will be the MC with Michelle brother. Lawyer VS defence force" Alan laughed.
"How about me ?" Nick was annoyed as he was left behind.
" You prepared for speech" Alan winked.
"Gosh ! Alice you are still breast feed him" Lisa as stunned. she noticed it had been more than 15 minutes.
"He is a greedy kitten like his dad. I was very depress at the earliest days, I thought my milk was not enough. Lucky mum encouraged me to keep going and taught me some trick" Alice chuckled.
Sean, Hans and Alan snorted. "Bro, you have competitor now" Alan teased Nick who was grinned while rubbing his chin "Same as you"
