Bumbo
I must get a baby bumbo seat for Gerald! How come I dunno anything about it till today? Was speaking to a colleague about when his baby can sit by herself when he mentioned that they let her sit in a bumbo at 4 months. And i am like what bumbo. Then i searched and realised it is such a amazing thing! Who wan the high chair, Gerald cant even sit properly in it without being all strapped up. He need a bumbo! Ok i am overly excited and amazed at my new discovery, so much so that i wish i can pop into Kiddy Palace now and buy one now so Gerald can sit in it tonight. Although i am not sure if Gerald legs will fit but who cares! Think about it later! I tried to find a second hand bumbo but it is all sold out! High demand man. Damn

Long update...
Ok.. it's been a very long time... ever since my last post in May... many of the people reading this blog will most probably think that I have already closed down my blog.. or practically chose to ignore it.. but in fact I didn't... hahaha
This blog is mainly about me and my hubby... but ever since May, there has been a new center in our life... ever since the birth of our baby Gerald, he has become the new center stage, all attention are focused on him and both our lifes surround him and him only... leaving not so much time for myself or ourselves... but of course we will try and spend as much couple time together as we can...
Gerald has a blog at chrisrickandbabygerald.blogspot.com. As mentioned previously, he is the center stage so of course the blog is very updated.. hahaha.. If I have some time to spare, I will most probably be updating his blog rather than mine! Hah.. it has to be a detailed record of Gerald growing up so I am pretty determined to get the site running.. hahaha.. should you not see any posts on this blog, try Gerald..

Gerald playground!
My house is slowly turning into a playground for Gerald.. look at the many things that he has till now! And it is still accumulating..
First row (from the left to the right): Web chair where he often has his afternoon naps as it is airy, his old rocking chair where he will sit and play with his 3 little white teddy bears, his high chair to be used around the dining table when he can sit, for now it is just for him to sit for fun and his walker where he will learn how to walk, for now it is just for him to sit for fun too. Second row (from the left to the right): his stroller, his cot, his play gym and his rocking horse.
One corner of the living room has turned into his playground filled with all of his things! He is taking over the living room

Self conscious
Now on the train on my way to work. There is a very pretty gal with a very handsome young man sitting in front of me. Then met a very old frenz that i know since sec school but have lost contact ever since. He could hardly recognise me.
Suddenly felt very self conscious of myself. My short messy and grassy hair, my pale and dull face with no make up and no natural glow or brightness, my out of shape figure with a spare tyre around my tummy. Suddenly feel so ugly.

Baby Brianna
This has nothing to do with Gerald and this will NEVER EVER happen to Gerald.. This is a perfect example of what a unloving mother is.. and that surely can never be me!
How can she possibly treat her baby this way! If she dun want the baby, why didnt she just abort it or have a miscarriage? Why give birth to the baby in the very first place?? I cant say anything for the dad or uncle because they never went through the whole 9 or 10 months of pregnancy but the mum surely did... and still don't feel any love for the baby?? She is such a cute baby!!! Whenever I see Gerald sleeping peacefully I think he is such an angel.. I seriously cried at the last part of the video...
I cannot bear to even think how would the baby feel... the only people that she rely and depend on since the first day of birth actually abused her this way... how sad would she be if she understand what's going on... to be lying by herself..noone to play or chat with her... and whenever she is picked up she is being beaten and abused!! And she is just a innocent baby who have no idea!! Who will smile at you whenever you carried her... how can you possibly do this to your child!!! Wun your heart ache when you see the bruises all over your baby and realised it is all your doing.. and your baby is still smiling at you because she know you are her mother??!!
The parents should be hanged! Seriously pissed off

Updates
Havent updated for quite some time. Quite busy working and the remaining time are all spent with Gerald..
He recovered from his fever last Friday evening.. thank god.. he has his last doasage of his medicine on Friday afternoon when his temperature shot to 38.5 degrees and I was just about to bring him to the doctor when I thought maybe I should let him have his medicine and monitor to see if things get better and indeed it did.. thank god...
For the next few days he wasn't drinking much milk, maybe because he has no appetite after 3 days of illness but now he is back on track.. draining every single bottle of 120ml of milk.. woohoo! My Gerald is back!!!
Found out today that my lady boss daughter who is born about 3 weeks earlier than Gerald didnt have a fever when she had her polio injection.. so good.. although I am sure all kids will fall ill at some stages.. heard from my mother in law that they will also have fever when they are teething and they will be super uncomfortable and fussy during that period too.. hmmmm
Gerald now weigh 7kg.. he is a heavy boy! But he is not overweight mind you... he is perfectly healthy and fine... just right for a boy.. woohoo... and he is now 61cm... wow how much he has grown!
He is now trying to sit up straight even though his back/body is still a little weak and couldnt really support his head right now.. But he love it... and he always want us to carry him in a upright sitting position.. no longer lying on the arms.. and he is as talkative as usual.. hahaha...
Pictures coming soon..

3 mths medical check up
Gerald is having fever!!! At one point the thermometer had a reading of 38.1 degrees. I got a shock of my life seriously.. he was okay after the polio injection in the morning.. came back drank his milk played and slept as per normal.. then when I woke him for his milk at 2.30pm, he drank only half.. and then he fell back to sleep.. and his temperature was still fine..
Later at 5.30pm he only drank 30ml out of 120ml.. and he seem to be moaning in pain.. and that really got me worried... and despite me cuddling on to him, he was still crying non stop.. and his temperature read 37.9 degrees and I panicked. I took out the cooling patch that I brought for him and sticked that onto his forehead to help him relieve the fever.. it didnt help much so I gave him medicine and lots of water.. he didnt want milk...3 attempts in gaving him milk and he only drank 20 or 30ml.. and he still look very uncomfortable.. pain my heart to see him like that.. my little boy is uncomfortable.. poor Gerald..
Hopefully he will be fine tomorrow...

Wrong date & baby resort
Alamak. I actually remembered the wrong date for Gerald next appointment. Thought it is on 4th Aug but actually it is 5th Aug!! The clinic sent me a sms to remind me of the appointment on the 5th and I was in total disbelief.. even suspecting the clinic booked the wrong date.. came home and checked Gerald's health booklet then realised it is me who got it all wrong... dohz.. Went to take leave on 4th and 5th Aug because Gerald is going to take his first polio vaccine injection and the nurse warned us during the last appointment that he might get high fever and discomfort so I thought it is best for me to take leave and attend to him solely just in case. * touch wood* *fingers crossed* Now I have to shift my leave to 5th and 6th...
Was searching through the net the other day for a baby friendly resort.. not kid friendly because there are lots of those around..usually for 2 years and above.. baby friendly because we are thinking of bringing Gerald for a holiday end of the year. By end of the year Gerald will be around 7 months old.. but sad to realise there isnt one around in Asia.. Why isnt there any?? I am sure lots of parents would like to take their baby on a holiday... the resort can arrange for some baby activities in which the family can enjoy together.. like maybe a gymboree club, baby massage classes, baby swimming classes, baby yoga.. the closest I can find is Club Med who has a Baby Welcome programme in which they provide babies equipments such as strollers, bottle warmers, baby bath, changing table and even baby food.. which is really nice of them.. but then again Club Med is expensive because it is a all inclusive resort.. so it is a waste of money if you don't ultilise fully what they have included in your package.. Yes there is a option of a baby sitter but no thanks.. I am not going to leave Gerald to a baby sitter.. god knows what she will do when I am not looking.. And I am sure the hotel will let me sign a agreement that say something like "the hotel will not accept responsibility for anything that happens to your kid when he/she is with the baby sitter" I am not going to take a chance...
I read in a motherhood forum about someone saying "why bother taking your baby on a holiday when he/she cant even remember". I disagree with that.. It got nothing to do with whether the baby can remember where he/she has been on a holiday..(by the way there are something in the modern world called photos!) to me (please note in my view only) it is more of doing something interesting with your baby, letting him/her see something else other than the same things at home... hey babies get bored too you know.. being coped inside the home.. playing with the same toys over and over again.. doing the same things over and over again.. how boring..!! Maybe someone will say "how do you know.." I don't know for a fact frankly speaking but I do know Gerald does love to go out every weekend! Maybe it is because sitting in his infant car seat in daddy car is a different rocking chair experience.. hahaha.. maybe he just enjoy looking at other things.. he always turned his head whenever something interesting caught his attention.. anyway the search for a holiday destination with Gerald end of the year continues..
