Today, I woke up at 6am to get ready for a long day ahead. I nursed Baby C, then checked my email, blogged hop a bit, went for 1/2 hour jog, came home and exercised on my fit ball, fixed milk for Aly and Sher, got them ready for school, had an ultra quick breakfast,…

Baby C Likes Durian Too

Posted on August 28, 2008August 28, 2008 by Shireen

coz it’s all in her genes. Daddy, mummy, mah mah, both her cheh chehs and everyone in the family loves durian, so naturally, Baby C likes durians too. I love to let Baby C smell food. It’s a good way to stimulate her senses. When I let her smell durians the other day, she was…

Baby C’s Bloody Cheek

Posted on August 27, 2008August 27, 2008 by Shireen

I hope I didn’t scare you with the title of this post. Nothing really bad happened to Baby C. She just scratched her cheek till it bled pretty badly 2 nights ago. I had just trimmed her finger nails the night before. I should file the finger nails the next time to smoothen the nails. The problem I…

A Stressful Day Collecting Pee

Posted on August 26, 2008August 27, 2008 by Shireen

I was to collect Baby C’s urine today to be sent to SJMC to be tested. Last night, I had planned carefully what to do today. I should wake up at 6am today, nurse Baby C, do some work on my computer, go for my morning jog, take my bath, prepare Aly and Sher for school,…

TV’s The Best Babysitter

Posted on August 25, 2008 by Shireen

Lately, Baby C seems to have separation anxiety. The moment I leave her alone and she loses sight of me, she will start to cry. So how do I take my shower every night? I will put her in her crib in my bedroom, put a huge pillow behind her and prop her up in…

Another Painful Jab And Hopefully The Last

Posted on August 22, 2008 by Shireen

Hubby was busy this morning, so Connie Koo Por (hub’s aunty) brought us to a nearby clinic early in the morning to have the last dose of antibiotics jab administered. This time, I brought along Baby C’s favorite water-filled frozen teething ring and a rattle. The sight of the HUGE syringe filled to the brim with liquid…

A Chaotic And Dizzy Day For Me

Posted on August 21, 2008August 21, 2008 by Shireen

First, Sherilyn woke up on the wrong side of the bed and was super cranky and clingy to me. She refused the maid to wash her up, brush her teeth or touch her. She kept wanting me and kept saying “mummy, say you love me” as she cried pitifully. I was already very busy trying…

Update On Baby C’s Kidney Reflux

Posted on August 20, 2008August 20, 2008 by Shireen

The urine culture result yesterday showed that there is a moderate growth of E Coli bacteria in Baby C’s urine and the white blood cells in the urine have also gone up. Thus, our paed switched the antibiotics to one that the E Coli bacteria is sensitive to which is Unasyn Sultamicillin. She is to…

This post is specially written for Baby C, in the hope that when she’s old enough to understand and read this, she will know what she and mummy had gone through to deal with the kidney reflux that she’s suffering from. Cassandra, as mummy is typing this now, mummy is hoping that very soon, you…

Baby C And Her Highchair

Posted on August 18, 2008 by Shireen

Baby C now does not want to be placed on her bouncinet or on the mattress on the floor, next to the dining table whenever we have our meals. She wants to be carried. So I dug out Aly and Sher’s old Safe n Sound highchair and placed Baby C on it. The first time…

When Do You Start Feeding Your Baby Solids?

Posted on August 12, 2008August 12, 2008 by Shireen

I am still undecided when to start feeding Baby C solids. With Alycia, I started feeding her porridge at 6 months and Sherilyn, around 7-8 months. I am thinking of delaying feeding Baby C solids until she’s at least 8 months or even longer. Here are some excerpts from kellymom.com (an exclusive site for breastfeeding…

Breast Is The Best

Posted on August 11, 2008August 11, 2008 by Shireen

It’s been 2 weeks since Sherilyn’s chicken pox attack and Baby C hasn’t been bitten by the CP virus yet and I think I can safely say that she has passed the contagious period and will be spared from getting CP, well at least for now, for as long as she’s drinking my milkie. That’s one of the…

Cassandra Turned 4 Months Old

Posted on August 10, 2008 by Shireen

on 9 August 2008. How time flies. My 2.75kg (at birth) little baby has grown so much and is now 6kg+ and she’s my living dumb bell for she wants to be carried all the time. I can hardly have a peaceful meal these days as I will be carrying her with one hand and…

Alycia And Baby C

Posted on August 1, 2008 by Shireen

I had prohibited Alycia from getting near or touching Baby C for more than a week as she had a runny nose and a bad throat. She got better 2 days ago and the ‘restriction order’ was lifted. She was so glad and could not help touching her baby sister. When I wasn’t looking, she even…

Update On Cassandra’s Kidney Reflux

Posted on July 31, 2008 by Shireen

We brought Baby C to HUKM to see the nephrologist today. An ultrasound scan was also performed on her kidneys. The right kidney is still moderately dilated and the left kidney is fine. She has a grade 3 Kidney Reflux, thus the reason the right kidney is dilated. The nephrologist said that if she has…

Daddy And Baby C

Posted on July 30, 2008July 30, 2008 by Shireen

Check out daddy with Cassandra here. Though daddy is seldom at home, when he’s home, thank God Baby C still recognizes him and loves being with him. Baby C has been really clingy the past several days. She only wants to be carried whenever she’s awake and does not want to be left alone on her…
