A tiny little pearly.
Right after my previous blog post about feeling jerry’s teeth and not seeing it, it made it’s appearance the next day when I came home from work! I didn’t have any pictures to show though because he moves to much, doesn’t open his mouth voluntarily and when it happens, his tongue is busy thrashing about so it’s peek-a-boo with the pearly white for now. His left teeth is showing first. Too cute. Meanwhile, mummy is giving him cooling teethers to chew on and it’s has proved quite useful in distracting him.. Nom nom nom. Meanwhile, I discovered a trait that der has that is EXACTLY the same as his son.…

Mummy’s milestones and more..
Achieved 2 little milestones in the last week.1) I survived a week without der when he went Aussie for work (but I had help from my mum)2) I drove the little bub to the airport alone to receive him when he came back! This really deserves more cheer and well, at least I know I can head out by myself in the car. Helps that Jerry loves car rides. He always falls asleep in them. Frankly, I was a little hesitant about venturing out and was given stern looks from my mum when I expressed my intentions but I know, bringing Jerry to greet hubby when he touched down in…

The MacBook Pro
Finally decided it was time to retire my old toshiba laptop and got myself a 13″ MacBook pro. Like finally. This arrived last week, brought by my uncle from the US with upgraded 8gb ram together with all my other online shopping loots (mostly baby related). But while I unpacked everything else and packed them aside, this is been lying in a corner.. untouched. This is so unlike me. The gadgets usually get my attention first and I can’t wait to rip them open and “test drive” it. This time round, the medela milk bottles and milk bags get priority and they get packed, used and washed first. This? It…

Random bits of my (non existent) life
Life as a mother has been nothing but a monotonous cycle… Of feeding, burping, changing diapers, putting baby to sleep, expressing milk, washing bottles and sterilizing them.. And when the cycle ends, before I could find the time to rest, the cycle starts again. How do people actually get any sleep in? There must be help from somewhere to make it possible. Everyone tells me to sleep when I can, I find it hard to find the time to do so! It’s been mentally draining because it means I don’t have time for myself at all, and when I do, I sit around stoning and find myself drifting off to…

Poor hubby.
He is SO GONNA KILL ME FOR THIS! But I think it’s worthy of a mention and deserves a post of it on my blog. for remembrance. Heh. The poor hubby have been tired out by our small little milk monster. Last night, the hubby practically didn’t sleep a wink. He was up and about feeding and changing diapers, and between feeds, was playing on his iPad cos he couldn’t get to sleep! When I woke, he headed home to ran some errands before popping back 2 hrs later, right on cue for jerry’s next feed (it was already 6am) and after we were done and baby is back sleeping,…

of party woes
i really should have known better. after all, i organized that many events in my job but i didn’t do any prep work for the full month party until it was wayyyyyyy too late. *sigh* ok. it was also coupled with the fact that it was major adjustment on my end with my new role as a mother grappling on all baby-related issues, rolled together with all-time fatigue that i am feeling. man, it’s exhausting. besides, the man aint helping. he left everything to my device, didn’t help source or suggest anything at all (other than to provide the defacto venue suggestion) and didn’t give much comments even when presented…

Lesson learnt.
Never ever leave any personal documents or pictures in other people’s laptop, even if it’s your own husband. Must delete everything. Well, I haven’t been meddling with photoshop for a long time since my netbook came along 2 years ago. The netbook fast became the light thing to lug around and my laptop kinda became obsolete. I subsequently found it too slow and frustrating to use! Just yesterday, I borrowed my husband MacBook pro to crop and edit a picture for some travel documents and left the file on his desktop and guess what I found him doing couple of hours later?! Very nice. (%*+~!|*~%\*|$@”#) And he renamed the file…

ok. culprit found!
meanwhile, i think all those little naps that i have taken during mid day.. and all those nights that my mum relieved me from taking care of the baby has been pushing the baby AWAY from me! der and me found out yesterday that… only my mum can soothe Jerry! when he fusses and we tried to soothe him, he gets from irritated to major rage, howling the house down and nothing, nothing that we do can soothe him. then comes my mum. she just plonks the baby on her chest (koala position) and the baby goes quiet within seconds. how can that be?! and now, i am beginning to…

The husband and daddy..
Right after Jerry pops out, I can’t decide whether I still love my husband or am starting hate him. Never the bit that his attention was all on the tiny bud since the moment he pop out and forgot about the well-being of the mother (ello, its me!!). Haha. You know, he’s literally glued to his iPad/iPhone all the time.. So I asked.. Hey, now that Jerry is out, are you donna drop your iPad and attend to Jerry? He looked at me and went…can I have an iJerry please?! When he was going to attempt to carry Jerry.. I went, hey, remove your watch (it’s his rolex), wait you…
