Followcontinuation from Part 3….. When I was at the recuperation bay outside the OT after the c-section, I saw the young lady who went in for a brain surgery on my right and the man who went in for a nose surgery on my left. The man had a bandage on the bridge of his nose and…

Stories From The Operation Theatre… Part 3
Florist Business
My cousin runs a florist and has been in this business for the past 2 years. Business has been good and she gets most of her orders from hotels and companies. When we met at a wedding dinner recently, she told me that she plans to open a branch in another town. I was really amazed…
Lotus Roots Hands
I did not really believe that exclusively breastfed babies will be chubby until I saw Elaine’s baby JL. Now that I am exclusively breastfeeding Baby C, I can see her grow chubbier by the days. I did not realize that she already has ‘lotus roots’ hands (which make me want to squeeze and bite them!)…
Stories From The Operation Theatre… Part 2
Continuation from here… When the terrible trembling and shivering did not stop, the nurses gave me 4-5 thermal blankets. I felt a tad better but the shivering was involuntarily and out of my control and I just could not stop my teeth from chattering and body from shaking. My teeth chattered so hard and my jaw hurt so much that I…
Security Software For My Mum’s Laptop
My mum has been using a laptop that’s half functioning. It belongs to my younger brother and is more than 5 years old, which can be considered an old junk. For someone who is not in the IT savvy generation, she is considered good in handling a laptop. She can now pay her bills online,…
Hot, Hot Day
The weather has been incredibly hot and humid lately. With the confinement food that I am eating, I am sweating profusely. I even sweat the moment I step out from the bathroom. I have a hard time nursing Baby C during the day coz after nursing her, both of us will sweat….. and we don’t have…

Paintball
Paintball is a fast, adrenaline-packed game which involves teams equipped with markers which shoot gelatin filled capsules called “paintballs”. The objective of the game is usually to protect your base while at the same time trying to capture the other team’s flag without getting tagged or marked by the paint. If you are hit by…
Sexy Breastfeeding Top
This is the spaghetti strap top that’s specially designed for breastfeeding mums. I bought it from The Baby Loft shop on Sunday. I’ve never seen such clothing for nursing mums before and was really impressed with the design. Just below the strap, there is a detachable hook. Once the hook is unfastened, the outer part of…
Choke Whilst Nursing
Baby C tends to choke when I nurse her lately. My confinement lady (who was once a midwife) says that it’s because my milk supply has increased, thus the choking. I think it’s quite true coz this did not happen at the early stage when I started to breastfeed her. Lately, my milk supply has increased and she…

Milkmaid Tea
Bought this Milkmaid Tea from The Baby Loft on Sunday. Have been diligently drinking this tea for the past 3 days and I must say that the result is quite amazing. Yesterday, I was able to breastfeed Baby C exclusively the whole day, yay! Today, I still haven’t touched her formula yet and I am confident…
Stories From The Operation Theatre… Part 1
Having had gone through 3 c-sections, I have lots of OT stories to tell. I shall start with stories related to me. For all 3 of my c-sections, I had spinal cord anesthetic administered, which caused the lower part of my body to be numb and I was conscious throughout the surgery. The side effects of the spinal cord anesthetic…
If I Could Have It Again
I had written in my earlier post that one of my very close friends married an American guy recently and had a very beautiful wedding reception held at the beach side. I had seen her wedding pictures and I must say that it was indeed a very beautiful wedding. The wedding reception was held outside…
Our Sunday
Yesterday, I broke another confinement rule. I went out shopping. It was meant to be a short outing of about an hour to buy a baby sling and Milkmaid tea from The Baby Loft at Desa Park City. But the short outing turned out to last almost 4 hours. When I returned home, my boops felt…
