2010

First post of the new year!



Usually, I will be writing this post on the 1st. This year I am late. Life evolves around your newborn when you have one so, blogging will have to take a back seat. 2009 has been great. I was pregnant for most of it and lovin almost every minute of it. I gave birth to a little girl too and that will be one of the highlights of my entire life. I love being a mother.

I realised that I did most of the things on my Do Not Do List for 2009. Feel very good about that one. Do not do lists are a lot easier than Do lists. I shall have one for every year!

LOMO

Only someone who knows me well will get this baby for me. Thank you so much! I feel so bad when it comes to getting you gifts. How I wish I know you better.

Thank you so much! Though I have yet to have time to even sit down to load the film, let alone go through the manual!

Bath Time

Her favourite thing at the mo' is bath time. We clean her face and shampoo her before putting her in the tub. Sometimes she gets impatient and start to whine and cry. The moment we put her in the tub she is as happy as a lark. Kicking around, looking pleasantly contented. I don't think I have ever seen her quite as contented outside a warm tub of water before.

Bird's Nest

I don't think I ever had so much bird nest in my life. My fridge now resembles one that belongs to some tai tai (or david gan) who takes one bottle every morning.

I am taking bird's nest like how I am taking Yakult. Should I take bird's nest at night and Yakult in the morning or Yakult in the morning and Bird's Nest at night?

6 Weeks

The Little One is 6 weeks old already! That explains the lack of posts on this blog. It is hard to find time even for chores, let alone free time for myself. Things seem to be getting better now, as we become less clueless.

Time flies when you have a little newborn on your hands. No time for friends, no time for The Husband, no time for yourself. All I do these days is feed the Little One, bathe her, change her, play with her and put her to bed when she is tired. When she is sleeping, I will be squeezing in some chores. Like now, she is sleeping and I have time for an entry here! I am trying to ignore the clothes that are crying to be ironed and some laundry to be folded. I am also ignoring the mess in the tv room that is looking more like a baby room these days.

Things are getting better now. She sleeps pretty well at night, waking up just 2 times to feed. Compared to just a few weeks ago, she was nursing every hours. I was so tired I was crying. I think I am getting used to having my sleep broken, that I don't feel too shabby in the day. I can do well without any naps too. I do miss my nice sweet long stretches of sleep. I do not think I will ever take my sleep for granted again!

The Little One is growing so fast, she has put on 1.9 kg and grow an extra 5.5cm since she was born. Extra motivation to keep up with the breast feeding! I think I will miss her being so tiny, yet at the same time I can't wait for her to get bigger. She is looking at things and people with more interest. Being a girl, she is naturally more interactive with people, and she loves it when you talk to her. And being a girl, she loves the malls. She will lie in her stroller contently, taking in all the sights and sounds.

New Phone

Happiness is an unexpected gift from The Husband.
