A quick update.
Guess what?! I have mastered the art of sleeping through my baby’s cries! Nah. I’m joking, but fatigue had me so bad, I heard the cries but simply didn’t have the strength to even pull myself out from bed. I guess all that late nights, intermittent sleep and stress has overwhelmed me this morning that I just slept and slept. I did crawl outta bed for an hr for my massage (my mum screamed at me like 10 times before I struggled to wake cos the massage lady is here, only to doze off during the massage), and promptly after.. Collapsed in bed again. It was as though I lost…

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…

ok. the world is at peace now.
and hopefully, i don’t jinx it by blogging this down. thank you all for the advice and help that came pouring in by the torrents after my last entry, be it on lj or on facebook. wah! suddenly feel very loved and cared for. thank you all for making my day a better one and taking my mind off things (to reply your comments!). for the record, i have also taken to drawing a lot of lines and columns in my daily recording book for jerry on his feeds, pees, poos, and my milk production to ease my stress levels. they say, doing simple, easy and no brainer stuff helps…

being a mother is just a thankless job.
15 days, i’m all ready to throw my jerry outta the window. from last night, he has been fussing non stop.. crying for extended periods of time.. my mum took over to soothe him after the husband lost his cool and started shouting at the baby and slamming the room door. the baby cried all night, the hubby slept all night. jerry finally stopped fussing at 8am this morning and went to take a precious 3 hr nap. i barely slept, my mum barely slept and today, we both are zombiefied creatures, but guess what? after he woke at 12+ for a feed, he has been CRANKY all over again…

Making a little noise here..
My mind’s a little blank, and the last 2 days felt like a vacuum. Did it just fly past me? Am dead tired but I just can’t get to sleep. My mum’s taking over the night duty today because the baby has been cranky for the last 3.5hrs, crying non stop with a dry diaper, only stopping for his feed, and starting the ruckus all over again shortly after. I reckon he wants to cuddle, but no.. Am not indulging him, but I guess the in-laws who swung by earlier got him too comfy in the nook of their arms for too long. Sigh. I wish I had the courage…

Being spontaneous!
Last Friday, I sat around in the house and wondered how I could get through the long weekend. Der has stopped me from swimming ever since the pelvic pain got worse. I miss it sorely and its the only exercise routine that I have to get my heart pumping.. So without it, I have been feeling lethargic and restless. Was randomly surfing around and I decided to book a BBQ pit for the next day.. And I quickly logged on to my town council website for the booking. Woohoo! Thank goodness for half day work days on Saturday mornings. Popped into mum’s room to tell her about it. I think…

My bro’s the best!
Weirdly, I have been lemming for durians a lot more frequent with the pregnancy. I have no clue why! Well, my mum says that if I do have a craving, I should get it satisfied so that the baby won’t salivate when he/she grows older. Yup, it’s a old wives tales but I don’t mind listening to it since I get to eat what I wanna eat! So, the bro knowing that I have been craving for it constantly, brought me some over the weekend (after my swim on Sunday). He actually went out specifically to get me the durians because his sister me is totally clueless about choosing durians..…

of vomitting and dizzy spells (yet again) and more.
everyone says the 2nd tri is the best, while i have been vomiting occasionally with the trigger of certain smells/food.. i guess i do agree with everyone on that statement now that i’m in my third tri. the tiredness has kept me out of whack for a while now, and i can’t seemed to have the energy to do much. Doesn’t help that i have that nagging thought of room cleaning, more throwing constantly at the back of my mind and fitting in new fixtures in my room (read baby cot and closet for baby stuff). i am working on them, slowly, but surely. a little too slowly for my…

Spit with love..
I blogged about my mil sending me loads of bird’s nest my way much earlier. I haven’t even touched them yet till today because seriously, ever since I was a kid.. I never like the bird’s spit. I know. I know. It’s sweet, tasteless, and damn good for complexion/skin whatever.. but I would never opt to take it and I used to run far far away when my mum forces me to drink as a kid. And when she succeeds in her deed.. The spit usually ends up in the toilet bowl moments later because I would vomit everything out. I think it’s psychological because I used to see my…
