Updates...

Gerald has been good nowadays.. his milk consumption has just increased from 90ml to 120ml this week... he has been sleeping through the night (even though he still make lots of noises while he is sleeping, which means me and my mother in law still can't go to sleep in peace).. he is starting to settle into quite a bit of routine.. when he is awake, he is waving his hands, kicking his legs, finding someone to play and talk to, when he is not, he will be slping... wake for about 3 hours, sleep for the next 3 hours.. and so on.. I hope this continue..*touch wood..

We are bringing Gerald to Gymboree www.gymboree.com this Sunday.. it will be his first lesson... and since he is quite curious about stuffs and have quite a bit of energy to spend.. we hope Gymboree will do him good... he likes to be put on his tummy and he is already starting to support his head quite well whenever he is on his tummy... and he likes to look at things... colourful things... however all these have to be done when he has enough milk and enough sleep.. and it is only like 2 hours in the day?? Hahaha..let hope he will enjoy Gymboree this Sunday...

I am halfway through my post natal massage package...I took it with Babies Bellies Javanese Massage and Spa www.babiesbellies.com.sg.. came across them at the Motherhood Fair.. their package is quite reasonable.. the post natal massage is said to help with the contraction of the womb and shrinking of the tummy.. they basically do a full body massage to help you get rid of wind... then they applied jamu then do a wrap.. my stomach did shrink a little however you can still see quite a bit of my tummy.. sianz... frenz said it will at least take 3 - 6 months.. I hope by 6 mths... my stomach will be back to its normal before-pregnancy stage...

Returning back to work in July.. ultimately I have to let go sooner or later anyway.. so instead of staying at home (starting to get quite boring) fighting for the baby with my mother in law.. I have decided work is a better option... will I miss Gerald??

Scissors paper stone. Mine is stone! You lose!

Redang!!

Yippess we are going to Redang!!! Not with baby Gerald of coz.. hahaha.. just me and hubby!!

This is a self-rewarding trip to myself for going through the 9 months of pregnancy.. ahhaha.. and also a very good time for me and hubby to re-bond and spend some quiet time together by ourselves.. (since we havent had any chance since Gerald was born)..

And the most impt thing is... away from Gerald!! Ok maybe my maternity instincts havent totally set in yet.. or maybe I am jus pure selfish... I heard stories of people going overseas and worrying about their babies who is back home... but seriously I am soooooo happy that I am going on a holiday that Gerald seems to have become second on my concern list.. maybe when we set off for the trip, things will change..

But now.. I am jus sooo happy... the last holiday was like half a yr ago in Dec.. when me and hubby drove to KL.. argghhh I simply can't contain my excitement..!! Gerald will hate me if he see this

Look at e way Gerald sleep! How can you not laugh/smile when you see him like that?

things with kids..

The thing with your own kid is....

One moment he makes you super angry, pissed off, irritated, frustered.. so much so that you wish you can give him a tight smack in the face/butt or worse throw him into the nearest rubbish bin..

But the next moment when he give you a cute smile or some weird funny expressions or use his tiny fingers to cling on to your shirt or your finger, you start smiling/laughing at how silly he is

Then you seem to have forgotten how angry he make you just a few mins ago..

Those are the times when you cant help but to think that he is really a angel and a devil all together in one tiny package... born to make you happy yet have enough power to torture you mentally and physically for the many years till the day you die

P/S: Plus he looks super cute when he is slping...

New stuffs for Gerald

Me and Rick went to Kiddy Palace today after Rick came back from work to buy some stuffs for Gerald...

Stuffs brought
1. Diaper rash cream
2. Milk warmer
3. Baby wet wipes
4. Diapers
5. A new rocking chair..the first one that we brought is not really suitable for this hot weather recently.. he seems very uncomfortable as he sweat while he is napping in the chair so we decided to buy him this one.. which have holes underneath and thus have the proper ventilation to cool down his neck and back...



6. Soft gym.. similiar to the pic below



It is all money!!

Baby Gerald Full Month Celebration

Celebrated baby Gerald full month yesterday..

As me and Rick were taking care of the baby overnight from Sat to Sun, we were both quite stoned on Sun.. especially me.. becoz I didnt catch much slp... Gerald is slping throughout the night but as he is feeding every 2 hours.. by the time i put him to bed after half an hour of feeding and burping routine, another half of hour spent trying to make myself slp.. and by the time I slp, it is barely half an hour or one hour before I need to wake up again to make milk.. and even then, whenever he make some noises my eyes will open to see what's wrong... and by 7am he is awake and wanting to play.. so the poor mum have to carry him out to the living room, put him to the rocking chair and rock him with her legs while falling aslp on the sofa..

When my mother in law took over, it's already 8am.. and she wanted me to help Gerald cut his fingernails.. he kept moving his hands and I am sooo super afraid to cut him lo... hahaha.. but luckily I didnt.. then I wanted to catch some slp.. but I couldnt so I decided to give up.. and got up instead to help with the preparation for the buffet..after moving everything into place, I took a shower while Gerald is having his... then by 11+ the buffet is set up and the guests start to arrive at around 12pm.. everyone is anxious to see Gerald, everyone is playing with him.. and it's good to see some of our close frenz after sooo long!

Afterwards we took Gerald back to my place at 5pm to pray pray.. then to a temple to pray pray then out for a drive to Katong where we need to drop off the cakes at a relative place.. Gerald was slping throughout the drive around.. too bad.. but anyway I didnt want him to mix with strangers becoz I dun wan him to catch any virus.. hahaha.. so we headed for home...

Today I think Gerald is suffering from the after-effects..
