Updates...

Well, there's nothing much to updates except complaints and complaints.... things are usual with her crankiness during early mornings and late evenings. Talk to a few frens and according to them, most babies have a fussy period and apparently my gal has 2.....

To date, i have successful breastfed her for 7th weeks..... hurray, hurray!!! Told most of my frens i plan to bf for 6 months. But alot of pp warned me tt my milk supply will drastically drop when i go back to work so i am trying hard to store as much milk as possible. But it's really difficult to schedule a pumping session when i have to do 2-hourly feed.

My gal very "gu-niang".. she wants frequent small meals so every time after feeding on one breast, she will be full and refuse my the other breast. Then she will demand feed 2 hour later. I feel literally like a cow..... moo moo....nites are worse cos' after the usual 2-hour feed, we will also need to change her since breastmilk is more easily digested and she always poo... when we changed her, her eyes will open big-big and we will need another 0.5 - 1 hour to make her sleep again. B4 we know it, it will be time for her feed again. So it's a challenge every nite :(

Sigh... our life has really changed. My sleeping hours are in-tune with her cos' i need to rest as much as possible when she sleeps. So i've been sleeping from 10pm.. missing all my fav drama serials like CSI, desperate housewives and GhostWhispers. Fabian and i also have to take turn to eat our dinner so that one of us is "entertaining" her.... told fabian, we are slaves to our little tyrant here... :(

btw, went for my post-natal checkup today. Finally got the courage to weigh myself... got 7kg more to loss.. trying to convince myself tt i will have extra 2kg on my boobs.. so i shld only aim to loss 5kg... hahahaaa... this is called self-denial!!

Got to go... will try to update this more often... :P

Something from the Daddy...

Hi Everyone,

Mummy is rather tied up with the baby these days so Daddy has to help out here. :) I have uploaded our little daughter's photos HERE. So enjoy!

From the proud daddy!

Adjusting to Motherhood

Have not been updating the blog as often as i would like. Many of u would have guessed, i simply dun have the time. Taking care of Athena basically took up 24/7 of my time. But now slowly adjusting to her habit and temper.

Nevertheless, i have crossed one hurdle. Her full-mth happened last weekend. Her lunar date is on Sat. So after discussion with my mom, we decided to bring her temple-visiting on sat. As i have quite a bit of bleeding at my initial stage of pregnancy, my mum has prayed for me and bb during that period of time. So we brought Athena to these temples to say our thanks :) Yup, still a cheena, traditionalist at heart :P

On sun (which is her English date of full mth), we had the usual buffet lunch for relatives and i had a small mini gathering for some of my close frens. As Fabian's relatives are always very supportive of such events, the turnout was huge! But it's good that there are so many pp cos' everyone wants to carry the bb, they relieved me of this chore for the whole day... hahaa... i only served one purpose, being the cow every 2 hours. Cos' of the huge crowd, she has problem taking her usual naps and was really cranky and demand the "pacifier" every other time. :(

Anyway, after cropping at hm for one whole mth with only the baby, i was really glad to have some good company. Even managed to gossip with my close colleague abt the proposal she got from her bf and with her showing off the HUGE ring . Yes, she finally got wat she wanted. She've been waiting this day for so long.... i cant wait for her to fix a date and so i can start dieting to look good for her BIG day.

For those who are interested, i had the Indo massage, similar to Malay massage but supposedly better. Not cheap, 6 sessions for $450... but cos' i had c-sec, supposedly have alot of "wind" so she recommended 10 sessions..... it cost a whopping $750.... need to claim this from hubby... he promised. heeheee.... not too bad. stomach smaller but i still have 7 kg to go.... need to work harder but i cant simply find time to do crunches. Now i understand when my elder sisters always tell me they dun have time to tone their flabby tummy..... My retribution....
