Baby Is Alycia’s Best Friend… And Last Week’s Loot

Posted on August 3, 2009August 3, 2009 by Shireen

Alycia is VERY possessive of Baby. She will get upset and furious if Sherilyn gets too close to Baby! Everyday, she will bug me to allow her to get into the playpen to play with Baby, hug her and kiss her. The way she hugs Baby is just like how she hugs her dolls or a puppy….

The Downs Of Breastfeeding

Posted on July 19, 2009July 19, 2009 by Shireen

Desperate times call for desperate measures… when all other distractions fail to keep Baby still on her highchair during milk time (fed through spoon-feeding), I will always give her the remote control. Whether it’s the Astro, TV, DVD player or dining table light remote control, that wonderful gadget can surely keep her still for at…

Way To Go Baby

Posted on July 16, 2009 by Shireen

Baby said the word ‘goggles’ yesterday! I was really stunned when I heard her say “dor… gles” when I brought her to the bathroom to have her cleaned up after her lunch. As she said “dor… gles”, she pointed to her jie jies’ goggles which were hanging on the towel rack. When I corrected her…

Baby C Has 7 Small Meals A Day

Posted on July 14, 2009July 14, 2009 by Shireen

Baby C has a pretty small tummy, just like Sherilyn jie jie, unlike Alycia jie jie’s tummy which can be pretty elastic, thus she has always been rather chubby. Baby has to eat many small meals a day, instead of 3 square meals. She has 2 breakfasts, 1 lunch, 1 mid-afternoon snack, 1 pre-dinner snack,…

Wiped Out

Posted on July 6, 2009July 6, 2009 by Shireen

Who? Me of course. Baby C’s energy is running really high today and did not nap the entire afternoon. These days, this fler refuses to be put in her cage aka the playpen and prefers to spend all her waking time roaming the house, playing with her jie jies’ toys, climbing on chairs and beds, picking…

Baby C Wants To Swim Too

Posted on June 26, 2009 by Shireen

Alycia and Sherilyn had their first swimming lesson on Tuesday. Just before they took their nap, I dug out their swimming suits, caps and goggles and laid them on Aly’s bed so that when they got up from their nap, they can hop right into their swimming suits. Baby who was gallivanting from room to…

Dinosaur Aged Shape Sorter

Posted on June 17, 2009 by Shireen

My mum gets very sentimental with the toys that her kids once played with and clothes that we once wore. She keeps everything from our first blanky to our first Peter & Jane book to just about everything. Oh, she even keeps her maternity clothes which she wore 38+ years ago… which I wore when I…

We brought baby to Jaya Jusco @ Kinta City yesterday morning to get koong koong a Father’s Day gift. It was her first time wearing her new shoes at a shopping center. Baby still doesn’t have the guts to walk on her own yet at a public place. However, over the past few days, we caught…

Baby C’s Up And About Again

Posted on June 6, 2009 by Shireen

Exactly a month ago, it was Baby C’s first day post op. She was puking and retching the whole day and had bunches of tubes all over her body. I was waiting anxiously in the hospital for her to get well, with a heart crushed into a zillion pieces and praying for our nightmare to…

When I Could Not Bathe Baby C For 5 Days

Posted on June 4, 2009 by Shireen

Apart from being a health freak, I am a clean freak too. I can’t stand dirt, dust, stench and absolutely cannot stand not washing my hair or my daughters’ hair, not even for 1 day. After baby’s first surgery, I could not bathe her or wash her hair for 3 days. That was still ok as…

Updates On Baby C

Posted on June 3, 2009June 3, 2009 by Shireen

Ever since Baby C’s first surgery a month ago, she has been super duper, extremely clingy to me. She wants to latch on to my boops 24/7 and has been sucking me dry like a leech. I even have to nap with her for 1-2 hours everyday while she latches on. The second I pull myself away from…

Posted on June 2, 2009June 2, 2009 by Shireen

Baby C’s sweet smile of freedom…. finally discharged from the hospital, no more pain, pokes, pricks, prods, insertions, bunches of tubes and cuts. Notice baby leaning towards one side? I guess her wounds were still causing her a tad discomfort and she couldn’t sit up straight. Moreover, she had been lying on her back for almost…

Counting back today, I realized that Baby C, my maid and I had stayed in the hospital for 25 days, which is almost one whole freaking long month of being cooped up in a cold air-conditioned room of the pediatric ward…. 25 freaking long days of not being able to feel the sun or breathe…
