Two days at the Hospital actually spent Marsha learning about how to care for a newborn who was mentored directly by the nurses at the Hospital. This is understandable because indeed Marsha feels not so reliable to hold her own baby. There are times when there is fear because the baby is so tiny, looks fragile. To touch it, you have to be extra careful.
Now for the first time Marsha is trying to bathe her baby, of course accompanied by a nurse. Abraham captured the moment with his camera phone. Yes, capturing the first time Marsha learned to bathe baby Mira. Although it looks clumsy, but precisely in the eyes of Abraham, the motherly side of Marsha is more charming.
"Are you Miss Marsha? Now just rinse the soap foam in the baby's body," instructions from the nurse.
Marsha nodded her head, and tried to do it slowly. You may be careful not to hurt your baby.
"I'm still afraid of this umbilical cord, Sister .. horrified that it hurt her baby" I'm Marsha.
That's because there is still a piece of umbilical cord attached to the baby's navel. So when bathing Marsha is so afraid if her hands know that part.
"It's okay, ma'am .. It's just that the news is more careful. Later if you get used to it, it will be better, Mom," replied the nurse.
After bathing, then the body of Baby Mira was cleaned with a towel. However, Marsha saw there was still a part in her daughter's hair that was still less clean. Marsha asked the nurse again.
"In this part of the hair is there still attached, Sister? This how's the loss?" ask Marsha.
"This is the remnants of amniotic fluid that is attached to the baby's body. Later, if you have often bathed and shampooed, it will slowly disappear, Mom. Because, the baby's skin is very sensitive," explained the nurse.
"Oh .. so later it can disappear by itself well? Okay, Sister," answered Marsha.
Then Marsha also gave Mira telon oil, put on adhesive type diapers and also put clothes for the baby. Marsha carefully did all of that, while Abraham still took a video of his wife's activities. Sometimes Abraham also smiled to see Marsha's activities as a mother.
"Is it true, Sister?" ask Marsha.
"Already Ms. .. now we layong well, so that the baby's body can be warm," replied the nurse.
Marsha nodded her head, then followed the nurse's instructions to carry her baby. Learning like this is indeed new from Marsha. Therefore, it feels so fun, but Marsha believes that she also still needs time to continue learning to be more reliable.
After everything was done, the nurse came out and told Marsha to give ASI first to Baby Mira. Marsha who has been removed the needle infusion can freely move by using both hands and babysitting the baby. It is as if Marsha recalls how the correct position and attachment is when giving ASI. Until finally, without difficulty, he can position Baby Citra to drink ASI properly.
"It's so bad, anyway," said Abraham who had finished taking recordings of his wife's own activities.
"Hehehehe .. still need to learn Mas," replied Marsha.
"That was already pinter. Just did take care of the baby Shayang training .. I think you're good at it. Later a little afternoon we go home to our unit, huh Shayang?" take Abraham to Marsha.
"I've called Mama if we're going home this afternoon, so well Mama's already cooking at home. All the administration I've paid, just waiting for your medicine" Abraham replied again.
"It's been a lot?" ask Marsha. The woman simply asked if her labor was costly.
However, Abraham quickly shook his head, "No .. will be covered by insurance, Shayang .. stay paid that is not covered by insurance and go up this class only. From the 1st grade to the VIP class" Abraham explained.
A little Marsha is grateful if it does not cost too much for her delivery. Because, Marsha little know that labor in Jakarta is quite expensive. Moreover, with the facilities of the Hospital he now occupies, Marsha also guessed that the delivery at this Hospital was quite expensive.
"If the normal count is still cheap, Shayang .. if Caesar is expensive. Just, yeah I don't have a problem. I'm all set, '" Abraham replied.
As a husband, Abraham did not want to burden Marsha. Because, Abraham had been saving for the birth of his wife in advance. After all, it was his duty and responsibility as a man.
"Thank you so much, Mom .. Thanks for giving your best to me and Baby Mira. Thank you very much, Papa," said Marsha smilingly looking at her husband.
"Together Shayangku ... with my little daughter," replied Abraham. Afterwards, Abraham also looked at Sara, "When I teach you to carry ya Shayang .. I also want to carry Mira," he said.
"Yes, ready ... will be taught slowly Papa," Marsha replied.
Now that Marsha's hand moved and gave a gentle swipe on Mira's forehead, it felt like Marsha was so dear to her little daughter.
"It's really beautiful, Mas .. didn't think our daughter was this beautiful" Marsha said.
"Yes, thought dong Shayang ... Her mother is very beautiful. Udah, the Baby did not follow his beautiful mother," Abraham replied with a laugh.
While Marsha also chuckled amusedly at Abraham's remark, "It's just, it's like you, Mas .. let alone the nose and chin is like you really, really," he said.
Abraham approached and then observed the face of his little daughter, "A funny thing . I think I fell in love at first sight with our baby. Very beautiful ... Papa loves you very much, dear ... Papa will always look after you until you grow up" said Abraham.
"Thank you Papa .. I'll always be Daddy's little girl" said Marsha.
"Surely Shayang .. she will always be my little princess. Be my favorite" replied Abraham.
Abraham said it with a heart that was truly bloated with happiness. Having Marsha as his life companion and having Mira as his little daughter, Abraham feels this is a wonderful time. Having a child changes a man's life, and so does Abraham. The presence of Mira gives a beam bias of its own in life.
