My Sunday

Posted on July 20, 2008July 21, 2008 by Shireen

Today I had a Sunday filled with activities. I got up at 7am and quickly took my bath, checked my email and fixed milk for Alycia and Sherilyn. My mil went to the market and brought our maid along. It’s always tough when I don’t have someone helping me with the 3 girls in the…

Baby C Proudly On Her Tummy

Posted on July 19, 2008July 19, 2008 by Shireen

At 3 months, 1 week, my baby can finally push her arms up and raise her head while on her tummy. For the past one week, she’s been trying hard to flip over and when she’s stuck on her side, she will yell out loud, making sounds like an angry cat, on the verge of…

Precious Poop

Posted on July 19, 2008July 24, 2008 by Shireen

Baby C has not poo pooed today, making today the 3rd day of her not emptying her bowels and I am worried sick. I would not say that it is constipation as she did not strain herself in her effort to poo poo. I have been feeding her with plain water and massaging her tummy since…

My Saturday

Posted on July 19, 2008 by Shireen

I had a good Saturday morning with my 3 gals. I had wanted to get up at 7am to go jogging alone but had forgotten to set my alarm clock and overslept. Alycia and Sherilyn woke up shortly after me and I quickly fixed them milk, brushed their teeth and got them ready so that…

Millenium Cactus Juice

Posted on July 18, 2008July 18, 2008 by Shireen

I finally bought a pack of E. Excel Millenium Cactus Juice to try from my former classmate, after much pondering. After hearing all the goodness and praises for this very costly infection-fighting concoction of juices, I decided I want to give it a try – to my 2 older girls (esp. Alycia) who are always down with throat infection. I…

Outdoor Entertaining Ideas

Posted on July 18, 2008 by Shireen

Lately hubby has been really busy with his catering business. He is so busy he hardly has the time to come home for dinner on most days. Sometimes I feel like a single parent who has to mind my 3 kids myself most of the time. Well, I shouldn’t complain. It’s good that he is…

Baby C Has Grade 3 Kidney Reflux

Posted on July 17, 2008 by Shireen

The hospital called this afternoon. The nurse conveyed to me the report, which states that Baby C has kidney reflux or VUR grade 3. I had expected it to be grade 3, and thankfully it is not grade 4 or 5. The hospital has also given us a nearer appointment date, which is in 2…

Online Drug Reference

Posted on July 17, 2008July 24, 2008 by Shireen

When Baby C was prescribed with Trimethoprim, an antibiotics to prevent Urinary Tract Infection a month ago, I did a Google search to find out more about this drug. I was really worried of the side effects it would have on Baby C as she has to consume this drug for several years due to…

The Amazing iPhone 3G

Posted on July 17, 2008 by Shireen

I was browsing the section on technology in today’s newspapers and read about iPhones. Reading about the new Apple iPhone 3G, I am just so tempted to buy one too. Firstly, the prices of iPhones have dropped significantly recently, making it a very affordable toy to own. Secondly, the speed of 3G is twice as…

Count Our Blessings, Lest We Forget

Posted on July 16, 2008July 17, 2008 by Shireen

Each time I am at the pediatric department of Hospital UKM, which is a government hospital, I tell myself that I am really blessed with 3 normal beautiful gals. Though Baby C has a kidney reflux on her right kidney, it is still not as bad as those parents I’d seen at the hospital with…

Baby C Has Kidney Reflux

Posted on July 15, 2008July 16, 2008 by Shireen

The MCUG test went smoothly today. We reached Hospital UKM at around 9am and went to the pediatric daycare ward for the catheter to be inserted into her urethra. When the doctor arrived, I carried Baby C into the procedures room and I was told to leave the room. I really hate it that I…

Update On Baby C’s Suspected Kidney Reflux

Posted on July 14, 2008 by Shireen

We will be bringing Baby C to the hospital to have the MCUG test done tomorrow morning. The test is to see if she actually has a kidney reflux. I am really worried that Baby C will be in great pain as she will NOT be sedated! I can imagine how she will struggle when…

Baby C @ 3 Months Old

Posted on July 13, 2008July 13, 2008 by Shireen

Cassandra turned 3 months old on 9 July 2008. At 3 mo, she can now lift up her head when on her tummy (but lazy to push herself up with her arms), loves to smile and can even laugh out loud when I tickle her armpit or do silly things with her, is very alert,…

Paintball

Posted on July 12, 2008 by Shireen

Paintball is a very fun outdoor adventure hobby. Avid paintball participants play on specially laid out paintball fields which contain specific boundaries, barriers behind which players can hide and zones that are neutral. There are also indoor arenas for playing that are complete with viewing areas and lighting. You can also play paintball at a…

Ouch…..

Posted on July 12, 2008July 12, 2008 by Shireen

This morning, I managed to go out for a half an hour jog, just me alone, without clingy Baby C tagging along. I woke up at 7am, hurriedly brushed my teeth, went to the kitchen to gulp down a glass of apple cider vinegar with psyllium husk, turned on the baby monitor in the kitchen and asked…
