I think i will be dying of tiredness soon.. Been sleeping at 11pm and waking up before sun rise!! Though dear carry him when he wakes up in the morning while I continue to sleep but I actually didn't really fall asleep. This is so tiring.. I really hope this phase will pass asap.

Bought a rattle monkey, hand squeaker toy and a kid camera (real one, can take photo and upload into pc de). Hope the kids enjoy the new toys. =D Waiting for end of the month to order jumperoo and perhaps a couple of educational/fun toys from amazon. Anyone want to order as well? Hee..

YaYa

Heavy Images ahead, be patient while waiting for the photos. These are some overdue photos from full month till last weekend. Wanted to upload yesterday but there seems to have some problems with blogger so drag till today.

We ordered from Sweetest Moment for full month cakes cause they look so presentable and have nice packaging.


This set we ordered for our office as these set has the most items in it, no need to order too many boxes. Haha..


This set we ordered for friends and relatives. We actually ordered an extra set for ourselves to try, I love the glutinous rice.


pok pok's first photo for bathing!!!




Now he look so fresh and ready to go out.


This is the after feed look, so dreamy liao.. haha..


Pok pok always like to make this face, maybe he like to has a small mouth?




Thinking and sleeping at the same time? Wonder what is he thinking about?


"I am flying~"


Papa and mama


Papa, mama and ah ma


We took these at the 1st floor, dear said the background very comforting. =)




He really enjoying his beauty sleep and we can't resist taking a photo of it.


See how happy dear is, rarely see him smile so happy in photos.




Really cannot remember when was the last time we took photos together, sigh..


I still look so fat, urghh..


Finally pokpok has a nice picture with daddy and mummy!!! =D




They kept looking at the bottom and didn't realise dear is behind them taking photo of them.

YaYa

Been busy as usual for the past week as his parents and grandma came over for a few days. Baby having lots of wind in the tummy so doc gave him med with lactobacillus, think to give some good bacteria into his tummy. Old folks don't believe in western medicine so they used their "experience" in trying to get the wind out. Don't know is coincidence or what, after a day my boy's tummy got so distended that we bought him back to his PD. PD was confused as he said tummy should get better with the med (I don't dare to tell him we stopped the med) aand breastfeeding babies would not have so much wind as well. Poor boy got insert pill in his anus and let him pass out all the air. After seeing him suffered so much, dear and me decided to stick back to the med doc prescribed. I don't blame them, I know they meant well for him too. Somehow I felt relieved that I breastfeed directly instead of bottle feed either with formula or expressed breast milk, or else I am not sure how bad would he gets to.

Finally I went to Singapore Flyer on Saturday!! I know I am very slow since it has opened for so long liao. Didn't expect them having promotion so we only paid for adults and kids went in for free. In the end we used the money we saved to buy 2 photos from them. Hee.. We took about 100 photos there. =D It's a very pleasant experience and the next place I hope to go is Henderson Wave. ^^

YaYa

Been busy for the past 3 days, it was my dear pok pok's first month celebration. We did not celebrate it at home like the usual practice cause no intention of asking so many people to our house so friday we went out to give out cakes to mama and our offices only. Pok pok almost cried in my office, scared me lo cause our director don't like noise de. My HR also funny de, called to come back to collect (think is present for bb) after I left like 2 hours? I ask dear to go back and collect for me this week, I am lazy just to go down there.

We went Marina Square for lunch cum dinner and walked around there. Got myself a set of nursing nightdress from Mothercare (on sale, 50% disc) and bought a vibrating chair for pok pok at Kiddy Palace. Don't want him to keep staring in space everytime he's awake, he looks so kelian for doing that. Intending to get a jumperoo too but that can wait as he can only sit in it after 3rd month and perhaps get a cheap play gym from forum or ebay for him to start playing now. Being my child is a blessing cause will have many toys to play with, hee..

Pok pok finally sleeping in the night, not waking up and stay awake for hours, Think he's getting used to the routine that light off is meant to sleep. Though he still wake up for feeds but this is much better than previously.

Saturday bought him for checkup and asked about his tummy why so big. Was told there's alot of wind in it and might be a colic baby so was advised must burp him every feed. If doesn't burp=cannot put him down. After that, was given some medicines for him to eat but he super hates it lo. Cry so loud and fierce, heart pain to hear him cry like this.

Will not be free this week, his parents coming on thursday and leaving on saturday. hopefully everything goes well but already start feeling stressful le. *sigh*

YaYa

I am so excited.. My boy finally going to a month old tomorrow, really look forward to it. Of course, I will try to take more photos and upload here to share with you all. =)

I hope tonight I will be able to get some rest so that I won't be too tired tomorrow. Hee..

YaYa

So tired.. Pok pok has been waking up at 5plus, 6 in the morning and only go back to sleep around 8am. Sigh.. If only he is willing to play on his own while I go back to sleep. He is a month old le (if I count by week), time passes real fast. He's getting fatter and cuter each day, hope he can sleep throughout the night soon. =)

YaYa

One of my favourite photos. He looks so cute in this picture right? ^^

I think no one does confinement like me..

I been bathing at least twice daily.
I bath my boy everyday.
I boil water every morning.
I wash clothes.
I went supermarket for the past 2 weeks. (I need panties liner and for a guy who has no experience in such things, it's better to get it myself.)
I went Vivo yesterday.

No, I didn't go Vivo with the mindset of shopping. I wanted to settle my baby bonus matter. Haha.. My sis keeps saying that I am very rich as I don't seem to bother about the baby bonus. It's not that I am rich, just that I got no time to go to the bank and also the money is meant to save up so getting it now or later doesn't really matter. I bought a Baby Bjorn carrier too and a few pieces of newborn clothings (all his current clothes are far too big for him, look so funny when he wear it) at Mothercare as my boy recently wanted to carry (seems that there are wind in his little tummy) and my hands are getting really tired and ache. It's not cheap, cost me a few hundred. Initally I bought a baby sling, really like the design - modern and pretty but the little fellow simply hates the sling. The moment I put him in, he would scream and cry. Actually the way I see him sleeping inside, I feel uncomfortable as well. Perhaps it's because I don't know how to use it. *Sigh*

Weather is so warm and hot nowadays, wish it will be raining cats and dogs real soon. Even pok pok also starts to sweat and will cry for carry so he feels more comfortable and airy, haha..

We are not organsing full month celebration for pok pok as we don't have enough people to order buffet and cakes. So we decided to give out cakes on the same day we gave cakes to our companies to get the quota. Never mind, consider it as saving money and we intend to bring him out instead. Feel to stay at home in that particular day makes pok pok looks so kelian. Where should we go??

YaYa

Last night I got so angry with dear not because he did something wrong on the spot, it's because he has been carrying pok pok whenever he's home. And whether pok pok is crying or not.. I know he hardly see him and miss him but the one who eventually had to face him for the whole day is me and not him. Yesterday pok pok had been cranky, wanting someone to carry him every now and then. He's only 2 weeks plus old and I can already feel my hands going to break, I really cannot imagine when he grows older.

I refused to carry him, I refused to feed him. I just let dear carry all he wants and don't bother me. I want him to feel how I felt for the whole day, with him on my hands and unable to do anything. I hope he learnt his lesson.

YaYa

I am so tired... I hardly sleep last night as pok pok had been crying for the night. He was trying to find his pacifier but was told to stop giving him for the time being as he has nipple confusion. Wonder if he's going to search for it tonight or not.. It makes everyone feel useless and can't do anything but to see him cry since carrying him also of no use. Sigh.. I really hope this is just a passing phase and it will be over for real soon. I don't think I can take it for long..

YaYa

Some random photos we took over the days, sometimes he would just make cute expressions making one irresistible to grab the camera. ^^











YaYa

Yeah, changed my blogskin finally.. Wanted to change it months ago but was too lazy to do so till now, hee..

Still tired but better than the pervious few nights. Pok pok still cried a little last night but he's willing to suck his pacifier for hours till I woke up at 3am to feed him. Poor boy, was hungry but mummy was too tired to wake up to feed him. After the night feeding, he slept all the way till around 7am to have his another feed. So I managed to sleep a bit. Hopefully he will behave the same for the rest of the days, let us rest so that we can take care of him better.

YaYa

Went for checkup today,didn't bring baby along and I left him alone with ah b at home lo. Actually I intend to bring him along but just before I go out, he finished his milk and fast asleep. I knew he will not wake up anytime soon after taking care of him for so many days. Indeed, he was still fast asleep when I came home. =)









Took some random photos of him yesterday when he bathe and finished milk, he looked very fresh and alert. Doesn't he look cute? Hee..







Brought him to sun few days ago and realise one of his feet was raised in the air for quite some time. I felt it's was amazing and decided to take a few photos of him doing that, don't he feel his feet being tired?

YaYa

Baby came earlier than we expected. Thought he 's a June baby with the horoscope of Gemini but end up he's a May baby with the horoscope of Taurus. Wonder which horoscope is actually better? By the way, he arrive here on the 19/5/09. I was in labour for 14 hours, longest of all and he is also the lightest. He only weighs 2.415kg when birth but he look chubby to me. He kept trying to open his eyes to see the surrounding but couldn't because of the brightness. Can't imagine just before giving birth to him, I kept telling dear that I do not want to give birth anymore as I cannot tolerate the pain anymore. I almost cried there..

Super tiring, had not been sleeping well since I came home from hospital. First, baby seems to like to play awhile during the night (I mean like 3-4am in the morning, zzz..) and also to pump my milk out. Actually wanted to let him latch-on himself but he seems to be unable to do so and making me now sore and painful so I got no choice to pump it out. It's more work but at least he get the best food in the world while I don't get any pain from him.

Yesterday bought him to see his paediatric doctor and took a blood test for jaundice. He was so angry when being poked and cried his lung out, felt so heart-pain to see him cried so badly. Lucky he is not required to be hospitalised, however, he need to be sun-tanned for these few days. Guess I will be bringing him down for walk every morning and strip him off, haha..

Photos taken at hospital and home. =)










YaYa

Been feeling tiring for the past week and hardly had a good night sleep. Every night without fail, I would wake up at least twice and need some time to fall back to sleep. Sigh.. I want to sleep throughout the night and wake up fresh.

Anxious for the new member's arrival, wanting him to come earlier but at the same time I hope he come in June instead. Seriously, I don't know what I want as well. Dear very blur, he still thinking I am seeing gynae every 2 weeks instead of weekly. Yesterday I was saying seeing baby on Wed again, he was like "huh? Not next week meh?" Haha.. If I known he didn't realise, I would have keep quiet and go myself.

Sister and her hubby treating us for lunch/dinner this weekend (guess is to thanks me for taking care of her kubao during the weekend?), was kind of surprise as I don't expected that. Haha.. Got free meal to eat le and I guess the happiest will be enen. She loves eating.

AH b fever again today and dear went school to fetch him out before going to work. As usual, he didn't drink enough water and conveniently forgot to tell us he don't feel well in the morning. Haiz.. If not feeling well, should have tell us and saves us the trouble of going to school to fetch him again. I wonder when does he know to do that?

YaYa

Yesterday took ah b to KKH for review and told the doctor that we are keen to get him transfer to special school. From the way she said it, it seems that ah b should be able to get transfer by Sept. Really hope this could help him and not bringing more trouble to everyone in the family.

A lots of stuffs got to do for him, getting reports and results from school asap. And I'm worried that I am unable to do it soon so hope to get it done by this week.

Going gynae tonight, dear really looking forward in seeing baby. Wonder how much he has grow and if he's still as naughty as we always see it. Hee..

YaYa

Updating some photos taken by a friend who lives nearby and he went over to our house to take it.






YaYa

Sigh.. Not going to our new house this Sunday due to Mother's Day and dear need to work both sat and sun as well. Anyway the developer has not finish with the defects yet so no point going over also.

Never mind, take a rest at home bah. Anyway not sure if I want to go over after that or not as I am very near to due date le. So annoying, i want to see my house. =(

YaYa

Went ikea yesterday after kubao went home with her daddy and mummy. We wanted to look at roller blinds, curtains and intending to buy them home first, not that we are kiasu but decided to get it first in case the sizes we need is out of stock. Lucky the colours and sizes we want are still available but not much left. After that, we chose the curtain pattern for the big window at the master bedroom. As we have budget (after deducting the cost for roller blinds), we decided to get those not very expensive type and not so thick type. Anyway I don't think we can hang too heavy material curtain since we are clipping it instead. After that, we bought 3 shower screens for our bathrooms. No intention of doing glass partitions, out of budget. Hee.. End up we spent $473 there, not sure is it cheaper than getting professional to do it at home or diy.

YaYa

Went out yesterday and had a lots of fun. Bought my first hair dryer from best denki (FINALLY!), never thought of using one till now. Usually I just let my hair natural dry but don't think I can let it be during confinement. Wanted to get a hotpot as well but had a second thought after consideration. Cause we don't drink hot drinks and only baby will be using it but does baby needs it during the first few months?

Went to pet shop to view dogs and I was so tempted to get the sausage dog home! He looks so adorable and cute but I didn't give in to my temptation because I know I do not have the time to take care of it now and I do not want him to get locked up for months when I moved to msia, it feels so cruel.

Met my sis and sis-in-law at bugis after that as I want to get SKII while she wanted to let kubao stay overnight at my house. While waiting for her, we walked around and decided to get a wok home. Haha.,. But was thinking to put in Jason's van and get them to pass us the next day. Not possible for us to carry so many things back while carrying kubao (both of us expected she is not going to walk on her own when sis is gone). Glad that we went BHG, they are having better sales than OG. Their regular items are having 30% disc while sales items are having 15% disc and even my SKII is having 10% disc as well. I saved quite a lot but at the same time spend quite a sum too.

Bought a Hello Kitty kitchen set for kubao as birthday present, know her birthday is around the corner so decide to buy something for her. Well, I didn't choose that, her daddy chose it for her. Like her daddy playing it right? (Haha..) Actually I wanted to get her a set of wooden blocks but Jason is afraid that kubao will be hitting him with it so he change it lo. Anyway he pay for the difference. My baby getting a push trolley for his 1st month from his auntie, THANK YOU! =D

I know dear won't say anything as long as I'm happy. I expected myself won't be saving as much as I planned to but the minimum will still be there. I will not allow myself to spend it so this morning I had already transferred to the saving account to prevent myself from spending it. Hee,..
