Xu Jialing Ivey's Concerto for Love and Happiness

Novice mommy has a hard time raising children. On Xu Jialing Ivey's Concerto of Love and Happiness

"The baby will really bring good luck! Xu Jialing, an artist, was selected as the anchor of the 48th TV Golden Bell Award on 20 13 for his wonderful adventure. She was glad to share the good news with us at the first time. The baby is more than three months old! Big watery eyes, much like beautiful mommy. This magazine specially invited Ivy and her baby son Kieran to shoot the cover of the magazine "Babies and Mothers" in 10 to share the joy of being a mother for the first time.

The home delivery was made in Ivy, and it was decided before delivery. Full preparations were made in advance, including understanding the relevant information of home delivery, arranging to meet with the midwife, understanding the matters needing attention in the production process and asking some questions. In addition, Ivy continued to exercise before delivery, running for one hour every two days, in order to reserve enough physical strength to help the smooth production.

After fighting for 34 hours, Kieran finally reported for duty. From the whole production process, you can feel the super toughness of Ivy. In fact, from the eighth month of pregnancy, false labor pains appeared, and Ivy could quickly adapt to the feeling of uterine contraction. Until the evening of June 1, she began to have false labor pains and her stomach became hard. Ivy stayed up all night that night. On the morning of June 2, she passed the pain record to the midwife. In the afternoon, the signs of childbirth became more and more obvious. Finally, the midwife arrived home, and her sister Xu Huixin and mother came to help. At this point, Ivy was speechless with pain.

Having experienced the pain of childbirth, I can appreciate the greatness of being a mommy. After 34 hours of fighting, Ivy finally completed the most important task in her life, successfully gave birth to a baby boy Kieran and officially became a mommy. In fact, the whole production process was not very smooth, mainly because the coccyx was injured before and the fetal head could not be in the right position. Due to the adjustment of experienced midwives, the production can proceed smoothly. The moment she first saw the baby, she felt that the hardships of pregnancy and the unprecedented pain in the production process were worth it. Besides joy and emotion, Ivy can better understand the greatness of maternal love. My husband, who has been waiting with me, is also excited and happy for this moment.

Share the ups and downs of novice mommy. New members have been added to the family, and all life has become very different. Ivy, a novice mommy, talked about her parenting experience and mood in recent months, and felt that it was really not easy to be a mommy, especially the process of breastfeeding was very difficult. Because the baby couldn't suck milk at first, he was forced to feed it with a bottle for fear that he wouldn't have enough to eat. After a few days, the baby sucked correctly and drank enough milk, so it changed back to pro-feeding. But when I was out of town, I found it difficult to kiss and feed in public, so I changed it to half kiss and half bottle feeding. Ivy said that "being a mommy always has too many troubles", and she often told her baby: "Cooperate with mommy and study hard! 」

Life will be very different after having children. Novice mommy studies hard. Apart from the problem of breastfeeding, what bothers her most is the restrictions in life. Ivy said she used to go out whenever she wanted. Now she takes care of the baby by herself during the day, and it is difficult to think of the door. For example, when driving, she will worry about whether the baby sitting in the back seat will suddenly cry and be particularly hungry because of her growing appetite, so she is very nervous every time she goes out. In addition, I used to drive by myself without buying anything. Now even if you only need to park for a minute, you can't risk leaving the baby alone in the car. Even at home, you can't relax.

Ivy pointed out that it is almost impossible for her to take a bath, because her husband is not at home during the day, and even going to the toilet should be completed as soon as possible. The baby loves to cling to mommy, and Ivy sometimes even mops the floor and has to carry the baby. When the husband comes home, the two will "work together", one will walk the dog and the other will look after the baby at home. Let's just say that novice parents are really busy!

"Life seems to be feeding babies all the time," Ivy said. Two months before the baby was born, he drank milk every one and a half hours at night on average, so the couple's sleep time was very fragmented, which might be only half an hour at a time, let alone until dawn. "I feel that life has been feeding my baby." Those days, my husband and I were really exhausted!

Looking for milk everywhere, "surprise" holding your own adult. At first, when the baby's milk is not enough, the baby will always look for milk. Ivy once asked her husband to hold her son, and she had to deal with other things. When she came back, she found that the baby had licked her father's white shirt all over her chest. Not only her husband was injured, but also her sister Xu Huixin was shot. When she holds the baby, the baby wants to drink when she sees her breasts. A good man later corrected his baby's posture and drank enough milk from his mother, so he wouldn't "raid" others like this again.

Staged a "robbery" with the nanny. Because of the recurrence of an old injury, Ivy's caudal vertebra often hurts so much that it is difficult to sit down and even hold the baby. At her mother's suggestion, Ivy invited her to the government to nurse her mother and help take care of the baby.

I didn't expect Ivy to be busy, too. Motherly love drives her to leave her baby. She often plays "baby wars" with the nanny. This dialogue is staged every day: "I'll do it, you rest." "No, I'll do it. Ivy, who wants to do everything herself, often makes the nanny laugh and cry. Although the nanny is excellent and careful, after several considerations, Ivy decided to take care of the baby herself. After all, she is the darling of her own, and she doesn't want others to take care of her anyway.

Parents keep an eye on the baby's every move. In order to cultivate the baby's independence, Ivy and her husband let the baby sleep in their own nursery, and observe the baby's movements at any time with baby monitors and breathing sensors. When the baby fell asleep, the couple took the monitor to the canteen to eat. It should have been a candlelight dinner, with beautiful lights and a good atmosphere. However, they seem to be watching a horror movie, staring at the screen with trepidation, completely ignoring the original intention of candlelight dinner.

When the baby moves a little, they will scream again and again: "Come on, Beibei is awake! Get in the room! "Stop! He fell asleep again. Don't go in there and wake him! Because the baby is easily woken up, as long as he wakes up, he has to play with him and not sleep, so the couple are very careful not to wake him up. Ivy said with a smile that sometimes she would crouch beside the crib and peep at the baby's movements through the railing, just to not wake the baby and let him have a "sweet dream"!

Use electric drills and nails to create a perfect nursery. In order to make the baby live in the best environment, Ivy and her husband designed and arranged the nursery together. As early as when she was pregnant, she often knocked nails and hammered nails in the room with a big belly; When her husband was on a business trip abroad, Ivy even brought her own board and electric drill. "In private, I am just like a man." She said with a smile. As for the color of the wall, she also felt that monochrome was too boring, so she painted the nursery in two colors. However, just after painting, she found it difficult to draw stripes with two colors, and she had to measure the distance well. However, since she was already halfway through the painting, she had to bite the bullet and finish it carefully. After all, everything is to give the baby the most beautiful living space.

A caring mother takes care of babies and animals. Ivy is very caring. She likes animals. She has two dogs and a cat at home, both of which she adopted. In addition, she also serves as a foster family for stray cats and dogs, often taking in many poor homeless animals and looking for good families to adopt them in the United States. Ivy's kindness also touched her husband, who accompanied her to take care of animals.

Husband will go to the racetrack to ride a heavy machine in his spare time before marriage; After marriage, it was a big change in love-I was arranged by my wife and adults to walk my dog in my spare time and also to pick up dog droppings. Husband often says with a wry smile: "I didn't expect this day!" " Ivy told him: If you have children in the future, you can be ready for them to urinate. The baby has been born for more than three months now, and her husband is really "well-trained". He won't be surprised to see shit, and the diaper changing technology is first-class.

Ivy also hopes to attract more people to help raise stray animals and make love spread farther and wider. As for whether she is worried about the baby's allergies, Ivy said that she always cleans the house very clean and often removes the dander and hair of cats and dogs, so she won't worry about allergies. I hope I can do my part for the poor stray animals, and I hope my son can love small animals as much as mommy when he grows up.

Sew a dinosaur hat for your favorite little dinosaur.

My precious son Kieran also has a nickname "Little Dinosaur". Ivy said with a smile, this is because the baby is very "powerful" and always works hard at everything. She cried hard and kicked hard, which made her feel that she had given birth to a "baby dinosaur" with great strength. Ivy, who is good at hand-sewing, specially knitted a small hat for her baby-a small dinosaur hat. When taking pictures, the baby was wearing mommy's love hat, which looked quite funny and lovely. "When I was in college in California, I often went to the seaside with my friends on weekends. When my friends play with water, I always like to stay on the beach and knit. My friends laughed at me like an old woman. There is no way! I just like small things made by hand very much. Knitting is fun! Now that I have a child, I hope I can put him on my needlework. " Ivy said with a smile, quite a bit "thread in the hands of a loving mother."

Taking the baby out, "preview homework time" is very long. Ivy said that it is very convenient to go out before the baby is born, and you can walk with one bag. Now every time I go out, it's like a war. I have to start preparing at least an hour and a half before I go out. My mother's bag is full of all kinds of baby care products, and I am thinking, "How many bottles are enough?" ""Do you want to bring an electric breast pump today? " "I should take some diapers? The baby will be hungry for several hours, and how long it will take to drink enough milk is definitely clear. It takes a lot of time to calculate these "trivial things about people's livelihood" every day, and it becomes very good when it comes to mathematics. As soon as mom opened the bag, she almost had no supplies of her own, but it was full of baby's things. She also let the baby mainly use cloth diapers, which may take up more space in the mother's bag, but it is also environmentally friendly and saves money.

The future career blueprint is still being planned. Ivy, who used to be a program host and made a record, has temporarily stopped her acting career in order to take care of her baby and concentrate on being a good mother. Sometimes when she wants to go on a TV show to share her parenting experience with others, she will also take her baby to the video scene, so that she can see her beloved baby at any time. In the future career planning, there is a TV travel program for her to be the host, but Ivy is still considering whether to take over as the host, because her life focus has completely shifted to the life care of the postpartum baby, and all career planning and decision-making should focus on taking care of the baby, so she has not made a final decision. After all, "maternal love is the biggest"!

"After giving birth, I have almost no time for myself now. Ivy said, "I have been taking care of the baby. Sometimes even if I have a little time, I don't have the heart to do my own thing, because my heart is on others-on the little guy who jumped out of my stomach. I always worry that he can't sleep because he doesn't have enough to eat. I worry that he is east or west, and I only have him in my heart. The thinking mode after having children is really completely different from that when I didn't have children. 」

Although it is hard to be a mother for the first time, I am extremely happy. Although raising children is very hard, when Ivy saw the baby pouting, smiling at mommy, aiming around with her eyes, or kicking around in the air with his powerful legs, etc., she immediately forgot the hard work these days, and her heart was only full of happiness and sense of accomplishment. For the baby, all the hard work is worth it.
