Busy Bee

I'm back blogging!

After recovering from fever, I have been busy with 3 things.

Skyler, Work and Shopping!

Skyler has been well, he hasn't slept longer than 5 hours at night but it's enough for me! He sort of have a routine now.

9~10pm : Bedtime
3am : Milk Feeding
6~7am : Wake up for more Milk

So during his naps and all, i will shop! ONLINE! i can't seem to find nice clothes outside. If I can find something that suits me, it's just too expensive

And recently.. i have been shopping some new sites..

which is G Market Korea and Taobao!

Bought 2 dresses from Gmarket and i must say the quality is very good! Both are Made in Korea. Of course the price is steeper as well about 50 bucks per dress.





waiting for my taobao buys.. hope that the quality will be just as good!

Sick...

Havnt been posting much cos was down with fever.

not H1N1, mind you.. i guess it's the inflammation of breasts that made me sick. Had fever for 2 days and one of my boob is so pain! Never was i so sick before. The longer stretched hours of not pumping after returning to work may be the root cause. Haiz.. so decided that after i recover, i shall stop breast feeding..

It's such a pity, i thought i would be able to pump and feed him for another month before i stop. Seems like it's not possible.

My mum said that I wont be able to take care of Skyler if I cant even take care of my own health and she's right..

Went to KK hospital yesterday to check on my problem since i had fever which did not subside for 2 days. The doctor asked the lactation nurse to massage my boob for me and BOY! it was freaking pain! Guess they have to clear the ducts in order for the boob to recover.

hope it doesnt come back again!

Back to Work Tomorrow!

11 weeks of maternity leave, 4 days of childcare leave ending officially today.
It's back to work and reality tomorrow!

Later will have to clean up my bags and schedule my pumping sessions(4am, 8.30am, 2pm, 6.30pm, 10pm).
Hopefully i will be able to breastfeed 1 more month!

Jia you!

Many Faces of Skyler

He is starting to know how to pout and make that very sad face to make people carry him. How can I not carry him right?

And he laughs too when I sing and smile at him in the morning. I have been like talking in baby language or sing in a high pitch tone until my sis ask me to "control myself" hahahah



Think I will miss his pouts and smiles when i go back to work. =(
It will be great if I can work from home!!

Ju Ju Be - Be Major!

My belated birthday pressie came!

It's from Darren but I ordered it online, he asked me to choose something that I like (so unromantic, but practical) so after surfing singaporemotherhood forum, i found this!

Ju Ju Be ~ Be Major

It's a wristlet, cum shoulder sling cum wallet cum hp pouch and cum alot of other things!!

Now i dont need to bring a bag out, just this will do.

with bright cherries on a blue background! sweet!


There's a mini mirror, 2 loops for lipgloss and a pen..


Here goes the cash..

and a place to put your hp or camera =)


Loving it~ ^_^

Skyler looked at me...

and called me

Ah-BU (Hokkien for Mother) today.

Or am i thinking too much?

whahahhah

i think i'm thinking too much

Happy Birthday to MUMMY!!

Happy Birthday to ME
Happy Birthday to ME
Happy Birthday to Mummy

Happy Birthday to ME!

Okay, this is the day when Mummy turns 30! Mummy was once a little baby like you too.
Ordered cupcakes over last weekend to celebrate! Not really a celebration but Mummy adores cupcakes so ordered from Juzmycakes.





The cupcakes are super delicious! especially the chocolate chip ones and i love the cream cheeze frosting. Cannot get enough of them. My whole family commented that it's good. and guess what, i ate most of the cuppies cos they know I love them. Out of 16 cuppies, I ate about hmmmm 11. wahhahahah =p I need those calories HORKAY

Went out for a simple dinner at Dian Xiao Er and more shopping for Skyler.
Bought a latex infant pillow and a sarong (FINALLY CAVED IN), cannot tahan the constant carrying liao. Very siong!

Time flies when you have a kid

OH my gawd, suddenly all my spree stuff came.

So happy!

California Baby Cream, His personalised Bhubu Tee, and his socks are on the way too!
I think my spree stuff is coming soon as well from Zen's Spree. Really looking forward, i have no more clothes to wear to work and I'm starting work in 2.5 weeks time! Gosh.. time flies.

Soon, i will be an old lady attending my son's graduation ceremony or even his wedding ceremony.

Anyway, yesterday Mummy went back to work for some discussion as i haven't been working for a whopping 5 months. Initially wanted to go back 1/2 a day but end up it was a full day at work! Discussions, reports etc...

I must say working is much much easier than taking care of a baby. At least I know what my boss wants! haha sometimes it's difficult to read baby's cues, whether he's feeling uncomfy, or want a hug, or his diapers are wet, so usually will have to try everything to settle him down if he is cranky. I still have energy at the end of the day after working, but if I stayed at home to take care of Skyler, i will be so tired at the end of the day. Missed him quite badly at work, and kept thinking about him..think after i go back to work, he will forget me soon since he wont see me for the whole day :(

Skyler's new toy

We have been trying ways and means to make Skyler sleep longer whether in the day or night. He's quite a light sleeper and wants to be carried at all times. Trying not to give in to sarong as we are afraid that he may be so used to it that he wont sleep without it. It will be a headache if it happens.

We bought a rocker from Fisher Price for him and clever granny DIY-ed a head cushion using 2 diapers to make him feel like he is sitting in the car seat. =__=
He seems to like sleeping in it hee hee



From waking up every 2 hours for milk feed, to 3 hours.. now Skyler sometimes can sleep up to 5 1/2 hours at night for his feed. yay! Finally Mummy can have some decent sleep once in a while. =D

2 months old!

Each day pass with lighting speed and now Skyler is 2 months old!



And another 3 weeks time, Mummy will be back to work! There's alot of things waiting for Mummy to do as Mummy has MIA-ed from work since end March. Pumping of BM will still continue if I have the energy but will stretch a little longer.

Went for 2nd dose of Hep B vaccination yesterday. PD said Skyler is above average and feeding well so the reflux and colic is not that serious. yay! and I think he's slightly overweight as the average is 4kg and he is 5!

Mummy went for Pap Smear as well. Mummy's weight dropped another 2 kg again!
Haiz. And gynae asked me what happened? what's wrong? cos my weight is 45kg now and it's lower than my pre pregnancy weight. Nothing is wrong actually, i have been eating well, just a little tired. Hope all the weight will come back after i stop breast feeding.

Have been shopping alot these days.

Bought a Skip Hop Diaper Bag.
It's great! Organize diapers, bottles and stuff into different pockets. Attach to the stroller and Mummy can shop MORE. wahah




Bought a Pupsik Pouch size S. Size M was a little too big for me, but size S is alright, but he looks very cramp inside, wonder whether it's too small for him?



Bought cute socks to keep his happy feet warm!


Bought alot of clothes online! for myself.. not Skyler's. Darren forbids me in wearing short skirts so this time round, I bought alot of skirt-like shorts. I need a wardrobe revamp! hur hur
