JJMom,
I'm not a disciplined mum bryan follows my mum strict schedule at her plc. But come wkends, everything go haywire. Normally he slp btw 9-10pm+ and if he sleeps with us, he'll only wake up 8am. If he slp on his own, he'll probably wake up at 3 or 5am

Most importantly, the shoot went well &amp; you like the photos.. hee hee

Not slippy but sole is too thin. Not suitable for walking on rough surfaces like roads.

[pildough]

allo mommies~

i'm down with a bug and so is abby. oh bugger.. sigh. it's not h1n1, it's the flu and boy has it got me by the ankles and shaking me roughly, until i'm damn gong. or gong-er than usual.

trying to do work, get relief staff in, talk to the principals then at 4 p.m, i realised eh, these few days i on mc also no pay wat since i'm on probation. pfft.

so i stopped my emails, phonecalls and excel sheets and started planning for a trip to bali.

hahhaha..

sigh, it's miserable when i'm at home and i cannot cuddle her.

Jolly,
CONGRATS!!! SO HAPPY FOR U

I think the feeling of being pregnant again is s exciting and scary all at the same time but God will give you the grace to cope

sahm mommies,
i mish u so. looks on longingly at katie, jojo and regina.

reb,
how's work!

joanne,
how did u resolve the payment? must manually transfer from atm?

baby keeper,
tempting.. i wonder wats the weight limit for the contraption hold. more for discipline alternatives. next time naughty, grab her, strap her in and let her hang there. heheaheaheah

 

[pildough]

jelly,
ergo no work for me anymore.. at home anyway. she likes to get out and crawl, stand around and reach for things.

baby proofing,
how have u mommies been baby proofing your homes? i don't even have a safety gate yet.

 

[pildough]

p.s. horror story,

we went to kkh on sat. abby jumped out from my grasp, flipped back and hit the frame of the door. her baluku swell fast and almost looked like it was going to burst. size of a plum. panic. go kkh emergency.. coz she cried until k.o. then scared unconsciousness, internal bleeding. so doc wrote us 4 days to monitor her. then now this stupid flu bug.

haiya.. how come i keep getting sick. (&amp;%&amp;*$^@

oh one thing i learnt though.. in terms of swelling when cold compress or towel of ice cubes baby cannot tahan, one of those fever patches works.

my poor bub. i am a horrible mother. sigh.

 

[elchwong]

Sleep:
You mummies are so lucky to be able to pat/rock baby to sleep...how I wish Dylan allows me to do that! He only wants to latch to sleep and nothing else at night! This morning at 5am latched him and he bit and pulled at my nipple, aggravating my already wounded nipple thus bleed badly...1/4 of the tissue is soaked with blood...haiz...seriously thinking of weaning him off latching but how???

 

[elchwong]

pildough,
What happened to Abby sounds real painful! Has her baluku subsides?

 

[dimpletot]

Pil

we miss u too! Hope Abby is better now. It's like that with active babies, guess they learn as they go along... We can't be protecting them with bubble wrap all their lives...

Elch
actually we're quite fortunate that we can latch. It's almost instant. Solves everything. I used to pat Kate to sleep when she woke. But now lazy. Patting and wearing them out will work eventually but takes too long! So for night wakes I'm glad I can just stuff the boob.

 

[dimpletot]

Xy

we missed u! So u were on leave ah? That's why this week clearing work?

Next thurs taka

so who's going? Wanna lunch after the shopping?

 

[pildough]

elch,
very pain, very scary flow of blood into the swollen area, very hard knock, very heart pain also.. i need to be more careful and hold onto her back when i'm carrying her. she likes to arch her back and attempt to boing off from my arms.

i envy mommies who still breastfeed. i wish i had more patience, maybe now she wouldn't be that prone to all these bugs. but then, my boob not enough milk when i used to bfeed so it does little to pacify her, if anything she gets more pissed off and frustrated.

dimple,
thanks, u always know what to say. sigh..

 

[pildough]

caught abby trying to cheat us a few days ago. everytime she will pretend to bite the pillow and both hb and i will go ouccch and she gets a big laugh. the other day she bared her gums and went for the pillow and we were both preparing to go ouccch when she stopped midair to look at us then she giggled.

she was testing us!!!

the conniving weasel!

 

[pildough]

oh just thought of something, am i encouraging biting.

uh oh..

xy, are u sure u still want abs to be marcus' grl friday? hee

 

[elchwong]

dimpletot, pildough,
I love to latch but I don't like Dylan to be so dependent on it. He's waking up very often (2-8times) in the night and only wants my boob for 5-10mins. Hubby wanted to help by waking up at times to coax him but Dylan refuses to be coaxed without sucking my boob...I feel so dead in the day on most days...he make things worse by injuring my nipples...

 

[pildough]

elch,

oh man, sorry i cannot be much of a help. infants and toddlers are beyond me. i know many mommies are against the use of pacifiers, have you ever considered trying one? maybe must google on other ways for babies to sooth.

abby is on a pacifier. There's this tod in one of the CCs who loves to reach into his bag and take out his pacifier but the moment lao shi frowns, he'ld ptui it out and put it into his pocket then smile. When she's not looking, he pops it back in again. I think the teachers have given up on him besides, the parents have not expressed any concern over his reliance on a paci.

that got me thinking.. how on earth will i wean her off the pacifier? i'm googling and praying to find one that says 'it'ld happen naturally, just throw it out heartlessly one day and let the kid cry it out. in a few days, kid will develop other self sooth strategies'

but no such luck..

 

[elchwong]

pildough,
I did try to intro the pacifier to him when he's about 2 months old but to no avail...he kept spitting it out...this morning discussed with hubby about introducing the pacifier to Dylan again and he says anything that will make him sleep through the night's worth trying...
How often does Abby sucks on her pacifier? Just before she sleeps at night or as and when she wants throughout the day?

 

[matsu]

<font color="119911">elch,
ouch...poor mommy

i m not for pacifier if possible but i think pil has a point. It will b a faster way to wean Dylan off your boobs 1st since u r already badly wounded.

Then find another way to rid him off the pacifier when ready

</font>

 

[elchwong]

Feel so happy! Don't know why Dylan suddenly doesn't need to latch to sleep tonight! He drinks off about 100ml bm from the bottle, sits, stands, clings on to me and flips around and dozed off on my foot! Either he knows I'm in real pain due to the bite he gave me this morning or I'm real lucky tonight! Someone up there reads my complain here and grant my wish!

 

[kare2711]

pil
oh so sorry to hear about abby. Hope she's fine. Hope you're fine. Poor you! But I'm sure both of you will be fine. I know Regine fell from the trolley and was fine, so Abby will be fine too! Rats have strong bones. Cos I'm one too! Hiak hiak hiak!!

 

[annetan84]

pil,
i went dbs to deposit to cheerbear's acct. get well soon to you and abby.

 

[purpleangel]
