Sending Sherilyn To Day Care?

Posted on December 4, 2008December 4, 2008 by Shireen

I was just telling my mum that I really can’t cope with 3 kids. I am putting up a white flag! Baby C is taking up too much of my time. In fact, most of my time is spent caring for her – feeding her meds, supplements, preparing her meals and feeding her, nursing her, collecting…

When You Have A Baby, You Never Enjoy Your Meals Anymore

Posted on October 26, 2008October 26, 2008 by Shireen

That was my breakfast yesterday – black sesame bread spread on a slice of multigrain bread, cut into easy-to-bite sizes so that I can put them into my mouth with a fork. When Baby C is crabby and fussy and does not want to be placed in her playpen a.k.a. her cage, I will have…

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…

Alycia Is Testing My Patience

Posted on June 26, 2008June 26, 2008 by Shireen

Alycia is really testing my patience to the limit. Since early last year up until now, she has been falling sick every other month. That’s when she first started attending pre-school. Alycia was a very healthy baby for the first 1 year of her life and never once fell sick during that year. Her immune…

I Smell Of Regurgitated Milk The Whole Day!

Posted on June 23, 2008June 23, 2008 by Shireen

All 3 of my angels are down with the sniffles. Sherilyn was down first. A day later, Alycia’s nose was stuffy too and yesterday was Cassandra’s turn. I had a tough time nursing Baby C last night as her nose was blocked and she couldn’t breathe when she was latched on. As a result, she was crying…

Missing Alycia and Sherilyn

Posted on June 11, 2008June 12, 2008 by Shireen

During my recent stay in the hospital, I really missed Alycia and Sherilyn. Though I was granted home leave for a couple of hours almost everyday, I still missed them very much whenever I was back at the hospital. Maybe it’s because I was bored to the core in the hospital. There was no TV…

Bringing Baby C To Work

Posted on May 23, 2008 by Shireen

That’s Baby C in daddy’s office when I had to bring her along with me last week to complete my assignments when the internet to my house was disconnected for 8 days. The first day was bad as she did not want to sleep and kept whining. I was at daddy’s office in the…

Trusting My Guts Feelings

Posted on January 11, 2008January 11, 2008 by Shireen

My guts feelings have been right most times. Even though I had gotten a verbal confirmation from this maid agency that supplies temp maids that he can provide me with a temp live-in maid for one month starting this Sunday, somehow, I just had a feeling that the maid will never arrive. True enough, my fears and worries…

We’re Getting A Confinement Lady

Posted on December 29, 2007 by Shireen

After a long debate discussion with hubby last night, we he has finally decided to engage a CL. I told him that with both his mum and my mum helping me out together with a maid, we don’t really need a CL. All my reasoning was rebuffed by him. Well, what can I do now…

Is Confinement Lady Really Necessary?

Posted on December 28, 2007 by Shireen

These days confinement ladies (CL) are charging exorbitantly. I called up a few CLs today and most of them are quite demanding, monetarily and in other areas. Most of them would only want to accept the job if : 1) You don’t stay in a double-storey house (coz most of them have problems climbing up the…

How Do You Cope With 14 Kids?

Posted on September 20, 2007 by Shireen

I was watching channel 77 with my gals several days ago and there was a program called ‘Kids By The Dozen’. It featured one couple with 14 kids! I can’t even imagine my life with baby no. 3 though I know the day will one day come true as my hubby loves kids – the…

Why Is Mummy So Busy?

Posted on September 19, 2007 by Shireen

I’ve been pretty busy with my assignments for the last 3 days and I’ve not personally bathed the gals or done much activities with them. Yesterday Alycia asked me to draw with her. I told her mummy is very busy with work and asked her to draw on her own. Guess what she said “mummy,…

Quality Time

Posted on September 14, 2007 by Shireen

With Alycia attending pre-school in the morning now, I have more quality time spent with Sherilyn. After Alycia leaves the house, I sometimes have a short morning stroll with Sherilyn before having breakfast together. Instead of my maid feeding her, I now feed her breakfast myself. After breakfast, Sherilyn will demand to be read to….

I Hate Messy Beds

Posted on July 19, 2007 by Shireen

One of the many nonsense that I have to tolerate after my 2 angels came along is messy beds. I’ve always hated messy and dirty beds. Before I had kids, I did not like anyone, apart from DH, siting on my bed. My bedroom, especially my bed is my paradise and I’d like it to…

How I Made My 2 Brats Sleep

Posted on June 30, 2007 by Shireen

A few nights ago, Alycia and Sherilyn refused to sleep. Why? Because daddy was downstairs and they wanted to go down to play with him but I didn’t allow it coz it was already 11ish pm and Alycia had cough and needed to sleep early. They whined and whimpered, jumped round the room, knocked on…

Tag : SAHM vs FTWM

Posted on June 30, 2007 by Shireen

Have been tagged by Mommy of 2 Angels. The tag is if I were given a choice, would I wanna be a SAHM (stay at home mum) or FTWM (full time working mum). When I was still working in the corporate world, I was always yearning to quit my job to stay home to be…
