baby R.J is coming soon

baby R.J is 34 weeks + 5 days now. I am currently on hospital leave till 18 Apr and will be resuming work on 21 Apr, unless Dr Chen wants to extend my HL, until I give birth…

I was admitted to Mt. Alvernia on 21 Mar due to contractions and was suspected food poisoning. At that time, baby R was barely 32 weeks and it was obviously too early for me to give birth, as baby’s liver has not fully developed. Staying at the observation ward is no fun as I was confined to my bed. During that 3 days, I missed my darling so much that I cried almost every day in the hospital.

That was the 1st time that we were ‘separated’ for 2 nights ever since she was born… Glad that I have my mum to help me take care and darling Aerith seems to understand that her mummy is not feeling well.

3 more weeks for baby R.J to be full term. Hopefully she can stay as long as possible.

updates for beginning 2014

hello and happy CNY to all! 1st post of 2014.

Been very busy at work for the past few months, ever since new manager took over. He simply throw everything to me and expect me to know everything. I used to complain about being so free in the office, making my brain turn rusty. Now I regret saying that.

And if you are not on FB, you may not know as well. I am currently 26 weeks pregnant with #2, and is another princess =) This time, is a planned one but never expect to come so early. Initually I wanted to have a Dec baby, just like me :P.  Well, sometimes, certain things are not for us to decide. We wanted a boy but is a girl again. I am quite ok with that but hb seems disappointed. Well, let’s see. If we have the finances in the future, we might consider to try for another boy 😛

This is our 2nd princess as of 24 Jan @ 24 weeks.

my tiny bump at 25 weeks

Darling Aerith has been throwing lots of tantrums lately and she seems more and more difficult to teach. She is so stubborn in her way that we have to scream and beat her almost everyday. Even, hb who always believe in soft approach, cannot take it anymore and lay his hands on her.

I hope this is just phase and I hope she wont become worse after #2 is out.

We have started our wedding car rental since last year too. Response is not bad and allows us to have additional income. If you are getting married or having frens getting married soon, do consider us as well =)

HFMD Attack!

Aerith caught HFMD on 16 Oct, Wed. Teacher called me to inform that they notice a few blisters near her mouth and she complained of pain in her mouth. Applied urgent leave and took her to doctor and confirmed its the nasty HFMD. She cannot go to sch for 10 days.

For the 1st 2 days, she refused to eat and drink and gets very cranky. When she cried, I cried too. I have tried all ways to make sure she is not dehydrated.  Blisters start to appear on the 2nd day and more on the 3rd. Other the medicines from doctor, I applied Young Living essential oils (Thieves & Purification) on her spine and feet almost every 30-45mins for the 1st 3 days. Glad that she is much better on the 3rd day and she began to eat a little. I still continue to apply the oils on her even the blisters are pretty dried up now. Seeing her regaining her appettite and activeness, I nvr felt so relieved and happy.

Brought her to doctor again last night for follow up. Yeah! Glad that the doctor say she is fit for school now. I didnt want to wait till 10th day cos I think she is well enough, and partly, my leaves are limited too. As usual, bear asked me to leave Aerith with his mum so that I do not need to take so many days leave. Anyone who know me, will know that I rather take unpaid leave than to leave my gal with MIL to take care.  Whether biased towards MIL or not, I feel that I have the responsibility to take care of my own kid if she is sick since I choose to give birth to her. Nothing is more important than the health of my gal.  =)

If you are a mummy, you will understand how I feel. Sorry to the daddies out there. I dont mean that daddies dont care, but I feel that mummies are always the one who sacrificed if kids are sick or sch is closed. Somemore, mummies are always the stronger ones and we are ‘forced’ to do alot of things on our own. Of course there are some hands-on daddies too. =)

Hope all children can be healthy and be free from all these nasty disease/illness!

4Q coming

Gosh! Time flies! Half of Sep is gone and the new year is coming soon.

Aerith turns 2 in August and she is really a cheeky little one. I love how sticky she is to me now. I love the way she call me mummy, sometimes call me ‘mi’ and sometimes purposely call me ‘老婆’ (she heard bear call me that).

I love the way we bond when we play cooking set or dressing set. Well, she has her terrors too. They are not called ‘Terrible Twos’ for nothing. She can be happy one moment and cry out suddenly the next.  She is getting more and more chatty too =)

Soon, another year has passed and me, still stucked in the same company for donkey years. I really wish I can get out of this job soon. Seems lady luck is not with me all the time. Whenever I wanted to quit, something unexpected happen. Probably this is destined that I should just stay.

Sometimes I do feel helpless when relatives/friends around me tell me about their new job. Why can’t I seems to pass all the interviews and get the shit out of this company? I think my interview skills sucks. Even my bro also think I have turned rusty.

I realize I am more and more absent-minded and stupid as I grow. Probably all the ‘cleverness’ goes to Aerith. Almost 30 and yet I have achieved nothing in my career. =(

July is here

Stoppped blogging for a few months and I am back again. Half a year has gone and soon it will be August, means Aerith is turning 2 soon. Time flies. I missed my pregnancy and those moments when Aerith was still an infant. Those adorable moments simply made me “Awww… why is my baby so cute..” Well, she is still very cute, but she has her fair share of trantrums now. This is called the “Terrible’s Twos” period. She is really a stubborn little gal, in fact, more stubborn than me and bear.

My little sis got married too in the middle of June. Feel a little emotional on that day when her husband come to fetch her. I still remember that I cried on my wedding day too. Well, I am borned an emotional freak, no choice 😛

We met with an accident 2 weeks ago. Our car bump into a lorry. Thank god that we are fine, just that the bonnet and lower front of our car was crashed. Glad that there is only a small dent on the lorry and the lorry driver decided not to claim us.  Realized that we have accident on every of car we owned. I think bear is too anxious sometimes though he claimed he is a safe driver. An expensive lesson learnt. Lucky we can claim insurance but it also means that the insurance premium for next year will be much more…

Coming December, my elder brother will get married soon. At least mum and dad wont be too lonely in the house with future sister-in-law. Sometimes, I wish I can go back as often as I want, just like what I did before my pregnancy. Now, I can only go back once  a week on weekdays and once every 2 weeks on weekends. Bear being so calculative, every thing also wannt count. If I go back to my mum’s place, he will make sure we have to go back to his mum’s place too. Haiz. I am so tiring from his calculative-ness. So in order not to go back to his mum’s place, I have to sacrifice my going back to my mum’s. I wonder why I did not see any clearly before marriage. Now is also too late to say anything…

I am still hoping he can be more gracious, which I doubt he will…
