Back to work Officially

Phew, it has been a busy week last week. I went back to work.. Hurray, hurray!!! Hahaha.. i am prob one of the weirdos tt loves to go back to work.

Beside the hussle of bring my pumping stuff and laptop to office, i really looked forward to working. I guess i wasnt as maternal as i thot i would be. And to me, it's really a good break from the crying and changing of diapers.

My birthday happened to be the week b4 i went back to work. Alot of well-wishes that day and many asked me how i was going to celebrate my birthday. To be frank, i am glad just to be out of the house without Athena. Mean rite? Anyway, we decided to drop Athena off at my mum place and hubby and i have a quiet dinner that nite. Even so, we chose to go Compass Pt when we can go kiddy palace and buy those VA storage cups for the breastmilk and diapers. So it's all abt her too...

Not sure whether others have my problem but i have difficulty finding good S-sized diapers for her. We quite like Fitti comfy but NTUC dun sell them in S-sized. And we've been looking around but except JL and Kiddy Palace, we really cant get them anywhere. My frens recommend Nepia. But they dun come in S-sized too in NTUC stock. We are still searching for the best value-for-$ brand :( I am sure most mothers have faced this b4, the baby tends to poo after you jus changed them into new diapers. Cos' of that, our usage is very high. Really, having a kid in singapore is not cheap :(

When i went back to work last week, i was really excited. Cant wait to be back in action. First day was just catching up with wat's happening and wat i intend to be working on for the next q. I was also busy catching up with other colleagues of mine and sharing babies' stories.

Last Fri was my mum's birthday. She has always asked for ang bao instead of presents. After thinking for a while, i thot the next best thing tt i can give her in addition to $$ is time. Time for her to go out and "kai-kai" or play mahjong. So i bravely took leave that day and asked both my sisters to drop their kids to my place. I declare off for my mum tt day :P Boy, do i regret it. When Athena threw a big fuss tt early morning, i was so tempted to pack everything and walked to my mum's place. But i "ren"!! Guess, i need to learn how to pacify her when she's in one of her moods. My elder sister came to pick up her 2 gals in the afternoon while my younger sis will come by after tt. So effectively, i need not be running after them.

K, time to work now... will try to write more.. :)
