Each day as I flip through the newspapers, I read shocking news of incest, rape, murder and robbery. The recent news of the beastly father who raped his own daughter, fathered several children with her and locked her in a dungeon of their own home for over 20 years was the most shocking I have…
My New Cloth Diapers Have Arrived!
Before Baby C was born, I told myself that I would try cloth diapers (CD) on her. Many mummy bloggers have extolled the benefits of using CD in their blogs as it is cheaper using CDs than disposable diapers. Other reasons include the higher absorbency rate of CDs vs disposable diapers (DD) and the pretty prints and colors of…
Dirty Cat
I’m such a clean freak but unfortunately Alycia and Sherilyn are not. I can’t stand a speck of dust in my room, absolutely abhor dirty and stinky loos and I can’t stand dirty and oily hands. But not Alycia and Sherilyn, especially Sherilyn. Sherilyn loves to eat with her fingers…. and despite me telling her not to scratch her…
Aqueous Cream For Eczema
Baby C’s face is now cleared of eczema. Although it is not 100% flawless yet, it is nevertheless improving and her complexion is glowing now. I did not really alter my diet (Baby C is still breastfed exclusively) and have been drinking milk 2-3 times a day, I still eat an egg a day, I…
Cassie’s Pediatrician
The doctor who is treating Baby C’s UTI is a super busy pediatrician. He operates his own clinic and also practices at two private hospitals. When I brought Baby C to the hospital to see him for a follow-up check one evening last week, we had to wait for more than an hour for him…
Training Alycia and Sherilyn To Be Real Chinese
We are pure Chinese but many things that we do make us look ‘un-Chinese’, like I speak to the gals in English all the time, the gals and I only watch TV programs from the English channels, we eat with fork and spoon most of the time and we enjoy eating Western food. Whenever my…
I Need A Break
I have been missing many family outings lately. Today, hubby and mil brought Alycia and Sherilyn to the shopping mall but I had to stay home with Baby C. Life has been quite miserable for me lately and I feel as if I’m being locked up in a home prison. The only place that I…
Baby C Is Besotted With Sher’s Hickory Dickory Clock
Daddy bought this toy clock for Sherilyn when she was 10 months old. There is music in the tune of ‘Hickory Dickory Dock’ after the clock is being wound up and both the hands in the clock will move with a ticking sound. When Baby C cried non-stop 2 weeks ago, Daddy dug out the old…
I Wish There Was A Natural Way To Treat Kidney Reflux
This morning, my heart broke into pieces again when I saw how hard Baby C puked, till her face became all red. She just hates the antibiotics. Not only does it taste awful, the cold and gooey liquid is a shock to her when it touches her mouth and throat. Poor baby, I wish there…
Our Sunday Mornings
Sunday mornings are always a rush for me. No matter how early I wake up, we still end up arriving at the church late…. shame on me! Something always crops up on Sunday mornings…. either Alycia or Sherilyn will puke during breakfast, either one of the gals will have a temper tantrum and refuse to…
A Not-So-Healthy Breakfast
Whenever my mil is back home from HK or NZ, Alycia and Sherilyn will stick to their mah mah like glue. That’s because mah mah is oh so patient with them, hardly scolds them and often spoils them with food. In this pic, Alycia was eating roti canai and kuih for breakfast. The gals rarely get…
Missing Alycia and Sherilyn
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…
Baby C In An Oversized T-Shirt
When the IV line was still inserted into Baby C’s hand, there was a big bandage covering the line. I could not put on her regular clothing on her, except for singlets. Since she could not wear her jammies, I had to wear her with Sherilyn’s Mothercare t-shirts for ages 2-3 (as seen in this pic). I…
Feeding Baby C Medicine
Feeding Baby C antibiotics requires TONS of patience, ideas and energy. I started off feeding her the antibiotics at 8:30am today after Alycia and Sherilyn had gone to pre-school and only finished the entire 3ml at 9:45am…. which I split into 3 sessions. It took me 20 – 30 minutes to squirt 1ml of antibiotics into her…
Sherilyn Goes To Pre-School
After delaying sending Sherilyn to pre-school for half a year, I finally sent her off today together with Alycia. She was so excited and upbeat this morning as I prepared her to go to school. I also got the maid to fry some eggs for the gals and then I cut them into cute shapes with my new My Melody…
Updates on Baby C (Day 6)
Last night when we brought Baby C to the hospital for the antibiotics jab, the nurses told us that the dr. has given them the green light to remove the IV line from Baby C’s hand. I was really happy to hear that as Baby C does not have to be in pain anymore. I…
