I need a break.
I couldnt have been more glad when weekend came last week. saturday marks the end of my solo parenting stint (yes, again) when der came back from china in the wee hours of the morning. i was struggling on the days he aint around because the round-the-clock every 3hrs feed is quite a killer on top of a active toddler. i have been sick for a while and i just never got the chance to rest properly and recover at all (or even pay a visit to the doc). the bad news is, my throat is a lot more inflammed than it was before, and i really feel quite under…

virus in the household!
the past couple of days have been pretty tough. i have a sick kid on my hands and he has been feeling so uncomfortable that sleep is a pain. he caught a virus from his cousins and has been whining/crying in his sleep, struggling with block nose. despite seeing the doc on sat, his nose is still dripping with mucus. every time i think he seems to be on the mend, the dripping starts all over again. there is also throat inflammation and cough and i am totally freaked out because i also have a month old baby in the house. its a really bad time since the husb is…

single parenting.
the husband is serving his reservist currently for 2 weeks. with a relatively new born in the house and an (super hyper) active toddler in the house, you can say I’m in pretty bad shape. sleep deprived nights. one week down, another one to go. the nights are the toughest because I have zero help at all, on top of the moo moo chores and all that bottles washing and sterilizing shit, I think I am on the brink of falling sick. but before I did.. jerry caught a bug and is pretty much very sick the entire day. he missed his afternoon nap today because his nose…

an update on the kids and me.
since the birth of Jerome, life has pretty much been a blur for me. feeding, burping, sleeping, expressing milk, bottle washing, and the likes. I havent have had much energy for anything else really. I remember being very sleep deprived when I had Jerry, with me expressing milk every 2-3 hours. this time round, I have been super lax in this area, expressing only every 4-6hrs.and am in the midst of trying to stretch it longer, but I am equally tired, if not more. in the last 3 weeks, Jerry also turned 21 months old. the bringing of Jerome home didn’t quite affect Jerry. i guessed it helps that…

Jerry learns his alphas!
or objects associated to it more likely. I made him perform for daddy last night, and i’m sure daddy had a *proud daddy moment* because he showered the kid with loads of kisses and hugs thereafter. how come mummy doesnt get the hugs and kisses? I should get some credit for teaching the kid, no? jerry and his alphabets.mp4 from Cherie Lim on Vimeo.

bedtimes.
I’m not denying it. my blog feels very neglected because I haven’t been updating it as often as I liked. I just didn’t have the energy. lately, its getting quite a pain in the arse (pardon my language) having to put my son down for bedtime. he just struggles and wriggles all over and slids out of the bed and just kept moving non stop! gone are the days when I can just give him a bottle of milk to drink and he’ll fade off shortly after finishing the milk. whatever happened?! I think its toddlerhood. he wants to play a lot more. wants more attention. struts around…

baby updates.
i kinda neglected this little space of mine in terms of baby updates. in a flash, i have been back to work for a month already! the sleep deprivation ain’t that bad now though i feel very tired all the time and could easily drop off to dreamland any time. which is why this space of mine is near empty. because the heart wants to but the brain shuts down. tuesday. brought Jerry for his pneumococcus 2 jab and it was the worst jab thus far in terms of the tears he shed, but i couldn’t help think that he look really cute when he cries (i’m biased). i have…

about parenting.
i wrote a long entry yesterday morning on my way to work, but when i tried to post it.. i kept getting this timed out error for the longest time and i gave up. when i returned to the app in the evening… I was appalled to find the entire entry GONE. not a single hint of it. am devastated because whatever little time i have left to churning out blog entries while juggling work, parenthood and all that household chores, the effort went down the drain. the thing about blogging is, you can never quite replicate the same entry after you wrote it. i don’t know about others (maybe…
