It’s jeans! No, it’s a diaper!
On my recent trip to the US, I bought so much stuff for the baby, it’s quite unimaginable. Enough to burst my credit limit on my card on top of my own buys (which isn’t a lot). I haven’t gotten round to blogging about it (soon! soon! I know I say this too often) but here’s something that I bought and thought it to be really cute. Not talking about the baby food but the huggies little movers diapers! It’s not available here for now, and it’s says limited edition in the box. It’s a printed-jeans diaper from huggies. I’m a mummy poko fan, but this was tooo cute to…

Project defrosting.
In anticipation of me returning to work real soon, I have kinda set into a worker bee mode in getting all the chores around me done and doing whatever I could to make the transition better. One more week to go. Today, it’s freezer cleaning day. The dedicated freezer for my breast milk has accumulated so much frost, it’s getting very hard to pull and put back the drawers and some of the milk bags are getting stuck by the frost, making removal a hassle. It has got so thick, I couldn’t stand the sight of it! I forgot to take a picture of it though. Was too busy shifting…

A kiss, anyone?
My sleeping beauty bunny. I could lie beside and stare for hours in amazement. Meanwhile, I think he sorta grasps the idea of crawling on fours and using his legs interchangeably to propel himself forward. Uh no. My kid is turning rather mobile. He moved from one end of the cot to the other twice last night (after I pulled him back in the middle of the night). I am beginning to give myself heart attacks jumping out of bed in the night and checking on him when he turns too silent. TGIF! are you ready for the weekend? Posted via LiveJournal app for iPhone.

Self amusement.
Jerry certainty can self-amuse these days and play for extended period of time by himself. Mighty pleased that my purchase of Lion in the Park activity gym by bright stars that I bought in the states is being put to good use (gotta thank my aunt for lugging it back for me!!). But then again, I hung his Lamaze Sir Prance-a-lot on it and he jabs happily at it and attempts to pull it apart by tugging at its legs. Guess it’s gonna be his favorite toy for a while, which is good cos mama loves it too! Haha. Am gonna try and do some daily updates with a single…

Guess who found his toes?
I was caught by surprise today when Jerry started playing with his toes! In other news, he has been flipping non stop on the sofa, on the bed, in the bathtub (!!), in the stroller, in his rocker and everywhere else imaginable. So mummy me has my hands tied up and eyes busy keeping an eye on him. Man, it’s tedious work! Nonetheless, I am also trying to spend more time with him since I’m heading back to work real soon. How did 4 months just pass by like that?! Posted via LiveJournal app for iPhone.

Jerry turns 3 months!
this was written a week ago but i wasnt unable to load/post it up here for some reasons. I’m not blogging fast enough these days. Mostly plagued with the lack of sleep (still) and just so many random chores or errands to attend to. Hmmm.. Why is that when you “think” you have more free time but still can’t seemed to find time? Anyway, my boy turned 3 months on Friday! Upgrading him to sit upright on the bumbo. He looks a little lost while in it and loves to shake his head like grooving to the music. Pardon me for the following picture galore! have been asked by several…

about parenting.
these couple of months about parenting hasn’t been a really smooth journey. there are happy days and sad days. frustrating days and depressing days. yesterday was one of those depressing days. 2 wasted movie tickets and my mood hit rock bottom. it’s not about the tickets. it was about expectations, protocols and doing the right thing, and being in sync with your partner. and getting support from your family. all those pent-up frustration just came down in big, fat tears. and you know what? as parents, any pockets of me-time is a stolen, not a given. and i wish, everyone could understand and agree with me on that. the moment…

A month more to go!
Exactly one month from now, my maternity leave ends. Time flies! Each passing moment just slipped by and my son is growing and changing every minute! Tonight, I read him 2 books and his eyes were following my fingers pointing at the various animals and seconds after I finished, he gave a small yawn, and knock out pronto! Too cute! If only if the husband is home to witness it. He is still at work right this hour. Meanwhile, the bub has quite a bit of health issues. Or health scares for the mummy! I found a 3.5cm x 1cm bump at the groin area one day, and freaked out.…

learning a trick or two.
this motherhood journey, sure got loads to learn everyday! digressing a bit that’s totally unrelated. does anyone realise that the iphone app for livejournal these days still keeps the draft when the entry is posted? i can’t seemed to delete them off! also, it does NOT load the entries that i have created on the computer.. it only registers those that are from the app, regardless of how often i refresh it. and i don’t know if there is any improvement in the app at all because it is soooooo slow to use that i have resorted to using my computer to update instead. hmmm.. it’s forever loading when i…

It’s all about food!
Finally, my boy knocks out in bed and I can have some free time to myself for a while before the husband comes home and the next window for expressing breastmilk/washing of bottles rolls along. I am beginning to think I am so not suited for motherhood and I think I lack maternal instincts! I am soooo tired that I am grateful for any moment that the baby is taken off my hands. But I feel terribly guilty for feeling that way afterwards. how do you mothers do it? I feel like I have nothing else left in me and no energy to go on. The only times that I…
