Home Alone

Hub brought the whole family san me and Debbie to AquaRama @ Suntec today...it's a once every 2 year event and being a enthusiastic "fish fan", hub is very excited...let's see what he is going to lug back from the fair today...undoubtly, some kind of motor for his tank or feed/vitamins/supplements for his fishes...i'm not complaining coz it's a healthy hobby to have...you know what i mean ;p...hehehe :0

So me being still under confinement and Debbie are home alone...the hse is kinda quiet without my Damien robust screams and grumbling...Debbie is in Zzzzzland after her bath and feed and will not be up for another 2hrs i think...i don't really miss going out coz the weather is terribly hot...i'm quite comfortable at home in my shorts and singlet top (my MIL gave the green light) and i get to shower too (i mean + wash hair also)...so i'm not complaining....hehehe :) The only hard part is my sore nipples...Debbie is very poor in latching on...so i have to express my milk out every 3hrly for her feed...the sight of my breast pump will gimme goosebumps...but no choice lor...it's good stuff for her...both my Ds are fast milk drinker...both can fin their milk under 10mins...but when it comes to burping, Debbie takes ages...

Okie, i'm going back to my HK drama series...tata!

Another 3 weeks to go before i'm out of my "confinement"...actually, i'm enjoying my confinement this time round...duties was delegated - My MIL taking care of all meals and Damien, Yayuk taking care of Damien and Qi is the official playmate for Damien...as for me, my role is to care for Debbie and rest rest rest...at this point, Debbie only drink and sleep, drink and sleep...so i have been lying on bed watching HK drama series, Rosy Business...very nice leh...only getting up for meals, to feed Debbie and to express milk...hehehe :)

Brought Debbie to her PD the other day, her jaundice is down already...i was relieved...n she had put on 500grams since she was discharged...so far so good...:)

Oh, i hear Damien waking up from his nap now...am going to sneak out and sayang him...till my next post...ciao ;)

2nd time round

This time round, being in confinement and caring for a newborn seems to be so much easier as compared to when i was having Damien...perhaps it's becoz i already know what to expect :)...My MIL is also quite lenient with me...she didn't scold me when i wore spaghetti top at home...haha...Hub told me that it's becos he already pre-empt my MIL to just let me do what i want this period...haha...he is really my hero...The hardest part during this period is of course not able to carry and play with my boy becos of my C-Sec wound :( ...Can't wait for my wound to heal.


My breastmilk is slowly coming in...when there is demand, there will be supply...so for the past few days, i've been latching Debbie on and expressing my milk every 3hrly...this is to stimulate more milk flow...today, i'm able to express 150ml each session liao...yipee!...but expressing the milk is no fun...like what Michelle said, have to get up in the middle of the night and stared at the pump while it start to express milk with the loud compressing sound....soash! soash! soash!...hahaha...

Hub has lived up to his promise to care for Damien this period when i'm out of action...he has been bringing Damien swimming, to the library, to the fish shop and even to TimeZone...hahaha...can u believe it? hahaha...he is really my hero....
I have taken plenty of photos of Qi and Damien with Debbie...but is too lazy to download them into my lappie...will do that and post them on my blog when i have the mood...stay tunes guys!

Am going to see Dr.Koh tmr to remove my stitches...Hub say bringing me to eat toast bread and go salon wash hair...yeah!....okie, i'm going to slp liao...Gdnitz :)

BB @ 38Weeks

BB is full term now @ 38 +1, weighing in @ 3074g as of yesterday...I will be seeing my darling gal tomorrow :)...As the anticipation mounts, my appetite seems to dwindle...i think the anticipation of giving birth tomorrow can make even the calmest woman feel frazzled...luckily, i had my doses of starbuck's cheesecake and ice blended mocha and Prego's spaghetti yesterday...hehehe...honestly, i'm kinda nervous and scared of the ops tmr...but no pain no gain...at least, i'm able to put a face to the bb which has been nesting in my womb for the past 9plus months...

Hub & I will be going to the temple in the afternoon to pray pray...will bring Damien along too...i was telling hub yest that Damien will be like me, confined to the hse for a month starting tmr...so better bring him out more often these 2days...so yest, we brought him to the library after dinner...his first trip to the library...hehehe...i will be missing him heaps during my stay in the hospital...this will be the 1st time since his birth for not sleeping with him...

Anyway, i have been telling him that i will be bringing his meimei home and that he will be a kor kor liao...hope he understands....okie...i'm logging off now to spend sometime with him...will leave you guys with this song, "When a child is born" dedicated to my daughter...

p/S: you may click on the weblink for the full song coz i think something wrong with my music link - http://www.imeem.com/joemaya123/music/23ZXm80O/jose-mari-chan-when-a-child-is-born/


When a Child is Born

A ray of hope flitters in the sky
A shiny star lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds have changed whisperin the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A rosy fume settles all around
You've got the feel you're on solid ground
For a spell or two no-one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born

(spoken)
And all of this happened
Because the world is waiting
Waiting for one child
Black, white, yellow, no one knows
But a child that would grow up and turn tears to laughter
Hate to love, war to peace
And everyone to everyone neighbour
Misery and suffering would be forgotten forever

Its all a dream and illusion now
It must come true, sometimes soon somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

When a child is born


Damien's 1st visit to the library

Reflection

I have been a SAHM for 2.5mths liao...initially, i was apprehensive to make this move to be a SAHM...at that time, i do not know if i am able to adapt to this lifestyle...but i think this is the smartest move that i have ever made :)

I truly enjoyed each and every second that i have with my son...to see him grow everyday, to witness his "character" unfolds, to discover his strengths and weaknesses...to laugh at his antics...each day is so different...AMAZING!!!...of course, there are also times when i wave my white flag and begged for time-out...but i will fly back to him in no time...it's like, i'm addicted to him...hahahaha! my hubby also commented on this...anyway, i'm really thankful that i am able to have this precious time with him and i would not exchange it for the world...

Hub and I also realised that i have been totally relaxed and laughing alot this period...one reason is, of course, my boy...he is my "ka xin quo"...the other reason is that i do not have to face any work stress :p...i think the only stress that i face is thinking where to bring my boy to jalan jalan and what to eat...my day normally starts only at 11am as that is the time that i wake up every morning...hahaha...yeah! yeah!

In 4days time, we will be welcoming another additional member to the family...i thank god for this gift and prayed that we will be blessed with a healthy bundle...i will be really busy the next 3days preparing for the arrival of the little one...tmr: going for my medi/pedi, tues: Dr. Koh appt, wed: going to temple, thurs: D-Day :) so excited...till then, to all mommies out there, Happy Mother's Day!

Mother's Day Dinner @ Bottle Tree (Part I)

Hub & I brought my MIL to Bottle Tree for dinner this evening to celebrate Mother's Day...We were lucky to have made reservation as it was very crowded...i loved their "wa tan hor fun" best...yummy!...after dinner, we took a stroll around the premise...i was surprised and impressed as the place is nicely done up with plenty of vegetation...a nice change from the shopping malls that i usually frequent :P

Tomorrow, my siblings and i will be celebrating Mother's Day with my mum...another feast awaits...till then, Ciao!
