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

Walker

Gerald has a new walker over the weekend. And he love it!

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...

Cot mobile

Cot mobiles are usually for bed time. However it is a different case for Gerald. His cot mobile is part of his play time!

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..

Passport Photo

Gerald finally has his own passport photo...!! A proper one with him looking at the camera in the correct posture and with a white background..



Next we are going to apply a passport for him.. and once we have it.. yippess Gerald can go on road trips!! He love sitting inside his daddy car and he love watching the scenary going past the window.. basically he love anything new.. so I am sure he would love a road trip to Malaysia... we wanted to bring him back to Batu Pahat so he can visit my grandma and pray to my grandpa.. I am sure my grandpa would love to see Gerald.. even though I believe he has been around us all the time..

Then as Gerald grows older, we can bring him for a holiday.. Maddy has already flew to UK at the tender age of two months to three months.. so why can't Gerald go for a holiday too!

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??

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
