For the past 9 and 1/4 months of my pregnancy with my little girl, it's the 1st time I dreamt of given birth to her last night.. But gosh~ It turned out to be a nightmare..
In reality, I'm planning of giving birth naturally.. But last night, I dreamt that I had a C-sec to give birth to Darrielle.. Ok, C-sec is not that bad.. Then in the dream, I waited for so long after the C-sec, yet the nurse have not bring my baby to me.. So i went to ask for my baby from them.. (ok.. this starts to upset me) Then the nurse are like grumbling and questioning me, "You know how to take care anot? blah blah blah.." (makes my blood boil) Then when I finally laid eyes on my little girl, she looks exactly like her father.. (which is not too good.. coz he is not very nice looking *roll eyes*)
Nevermind.. I carry her back to my ward, undid my blouse and prepare to nurse her.. That's when I got the shock of my life.. My newborn baby girl, have a whole set of grown teeth!!! *faint* How scary is that~! I was so afraid that she would bite me when I nurse her.. Heng she didn't.. After that, I saw the doctor and ask him what happened to my girl.. He told me she got *dunno what condition*, and need 1.5 of my take home papaya (i dunno why 'papaya', but it meant my takehome pay) to do the surgery to pluck out all the teeth..
End of the dream.. hahaha.. The only nice thing in the dream is, the doctor is quite handsome.. hahahaha..

Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter.
In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition;
but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express.

What I wanted most for my daughter was that she be able to soar confidently in her own sky, whatever that may be.

"When we trust the makers of baby formula more than we do our own ability to nourish our babies, we lose a chance to claim an aspect of our power as women. Thinking that baby formula is as good as breast milk is believing that thirty years of technology is superior to three million years of nature's evolution. Countless women have regained trust in their bodies through nursing their children, even if they weren't sure at first that they could do it. It is an act of female power, and I think of it as feminism in its purest form."

If a multinational company developed a product that was a nutritionally balanced and delicious food, a wonder drug that both prevented and treated disease, cost almost nothing to produce and could be delivered in quantities controlled by the consumers' needs, the very announcement of their find would send their shares rocketing to the top of the stock market. The scientists who developed the product would win prizes and the wealth and influence of everyone involved would increase dramatically. Women have been producing such a miraculous substance, breastmilk, since the beginning of human existence. ----- Gabrielle Palmer
