The Daunting Piercing

Hi Love,

You are 1 month already! You also already got ear piercing. It should be very normal and I shouldn't be fussing about it, but I did. I should say I googled too much. I came across awful articles on baby ear piercing so doubts to pierce you crossed my mind. So I spent one day contacting people to see how they pierced their baby girls, and here you go, cute as a button wearing earrings!

You were such an angel. You cried when the midwife touched your ear with Betadine liquid. I know you don't really like being touched using cold stuff. You always refuse every time I  try to clean your lips, cheek, and chin from the dripping milk using wet cotton. But right after the piercing process was done, you fell to sleep right away. I even had to wake you up to breastfeed you right after.

Honestly I was crying when you were pierced. But I was there by your side holding you. I was afraid you'd be in pain, there was a small problem with your left ear. The midwife couldn't get your left earring into the needle because Eyang Ti was blocking the light unintentionally. So the process for your left ear took forever. Which mother can be so tough looking at a big long needle dangling in her baby's ear for such a long time. And you cried super loud. I know, you cried super loud for everything anyway :D but still my heart was broken watching that scene.

If one day you are thinking to get pierced or anything like that, better not take me with you. Don't break my heart twice with that piercing scene all over again.

Mama loves you!
