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..

Need a holiday..
Gerald dun need slp... he has soo much energy to wave his hands, kick his legs, cry and play from morning till late afternoon everyday...but yet at a young tender age of 1 mth old, he is starting to develop black eye rings around his eyes... sooo much so until even me and my mother in law (2 adults mind u) get tired attending to him and he on the other hand is still wide awake and have no signs on even wanting to close his eyes...
I want a holiday! I still thought I can bring him on a holiday since he will be slping throughout.. haha.. guess it is all wishful thinking on my part... slp is surely not on his timetable at all!

Gerald is not slpy at all!
Gerald has been awake from 6am this morning to 2+pm just now. And just when me and my mother in law thought we can finally catch some slp while he is slping, he woke up and started crying non stop... and despite whatever we do, he dun seem to stop... in the end my mother in law have to switch on the aircon and carried him until he fall back to slp.. he is used to the air con?? OH no....

Misses...
I miss my long hair...(think I look so much better with long hair than curly short hair.. the long hair that I have to give up due to my confinement...
I miss my pregnancy and pre-pregnancy days.. those are the days when I get to go out as and when I want and eat whatever I want to..
I miss those quiet days spent lazing around thinking of what to do and where to go... or just laying in bed watching tv...
I even miss those weekends when we have nowhere to go and we get frustered thinking of where to spend the hours...
Those days are gone... and I will never get them back...
In replacement.. I have a baby who wants someone to sit besides him and play with him or rock his chair when he is awake... and petty enough, leave me with only a few hours in the day when he is soundly asleep for me to do stuffs... but even those hours.. I will still be on standby mode becoz a little cry or a little noise will trigger me into "See what's wrong with baby" mode...
Isnt that cool?? -_-"

Becoz we are doing it at home.. we have decided to keep it close and personal... a buffet for family and relatives... and cakes for the rest... cant invite everybody becoz sure no place to sit...

Attention seeker
My little baby is a little attention seeker..
When he is slping, he will occasionally take a peek through his eyes to see if anyone is around him...
If not, he will make some noises, stretch his body hoping that that will attract somebody to go check on him..
When someone did or if he peek and see somebody sitting besides him, sometimes u will notice a smirk on his face afterwards..
My little Gerald boy... he is only freaking 2 weeks old!

baby trouble?
Hmm... my boss is right...
Baby is soooo cute when he/she is slping.. or maybe when he/she is awake "quietly" playing with himself/herself by waving his/her hands in the air and kicking his/her legs..
But he/she can totally be a nightmare when he/she is crying non-stop.. and simply refuse to hear anything that you got to say... (of course I know they cant understand it now...hah) but no matter what you do.. you are just unable to pacify him/her!
The one thing that I find very interesting... among all the frenz, family and relatives that have been over my place to visit me and baby.. everyone seems to find it damn amusing or even funni when baby is crying non-stop and when me and Rick are trying damn hard to pacify him... what the hell is going on??

Those were the days....
I missed those days when we can just go out as and when we like... for supper in the middle of the night when we are hungry... or for a causal drive around... or to the dam / waterfront for a walk... or somewhere where we can enjoy a slow nice meal together...
I missed those days when we can just plan for a holiday as and when we like.. without having to think about money, leave and others.. or simply jus drive into Msia over the weekend for a overnight getaway...
I missed those days when we get to spend all our time together, lazing in bed watching discovery channel till late at night.. or sitting side by side surfing the net... or hugging each other tightly in bed and having a chit chat before falling asleep in each other arms..
Those were the days... and I really missed those days..

Busy day today
My father in law took urgent leave today so he drove me to KKH in the morning... went for my follow up appointment at the Private Suite. Asked the doc why my stomach hurts even till now and she said it is becoz my stomach is being over-stretched with Gerald previously inside and now my stomach muscles are too laxed to support the gravitational pull of all my intestines etc weighing down on my stomach whenever I get up from bed or chair... seriously I thought the gravitational pull is so much worse than when I am pregnant... anyway the stitches were removed today at a very expensive price of $15.50... just a cut of the scissors.. kaos... and my wound is okay.. but currently my wound is being covered by my stomach.. I still look like a 4 mths pregnant woman even though I have already given birth..doc said I will at least need 6 mths to tone back my stomach.. provided I do sit ups on a daily basis... alamak.. I also asked about the ugly stretch marks.. and the doc told me that mine is sooo serious until even the slimming agencies wun be able to do much.. the only option I have is laser usually done by plastic surgeons.. I think Gerald has indeed caused some very serious damage... haiz...
After the check up, I went to register the birth for Gerald. KKH services is f-up as usual... the counter accidentally pressed my number while serving another so in the end they skipped my queue number and went on to serve the next lady after me.. never mind.. I barely warm my chair when they informed me that I will need to change the address on my IC from my previous add to my husband add where I am staying now... cool... I have to walk to Tanglin police station next door about 10 mins walk to change the address before walking back again... usually I will think it is quite easy... but today it is a very tedious walk for a very short distance... anyway I made the trip to and fro.. and finally managed to get the birth certificate for baby Gerald in the end...
Went to the polyclinic to meet up with my parents in law and baby afterwards... baby Gerald is very good today.. never cry during his blood test.. and he is cleared for jaundice... yippess... next appt will be 1 mth later...
