Munmm Munmm

Kaelyn is really quite fickle about her food i must say.

Since the last update, we have bought several new foods for her to try. She loved this vegetable rice cereal today. She had 6 tablespoons! But she didn't want any when we introduced this to her a few days ago. Hope she still loves it tomorrow. I tried this and it tastes like dry seaweed. Eee. Yes, I eat everything that my Kae puts into her mouth. Heeheehee. Some baby food are seriously yummie!


I think the organic rice cereal that we just bought for her taste not good at all. I would not eat this if I have a choice. She only had 1 and 1/2 tbsp of it. Sigh, I will have to finish the whole packet if she retains her taste.

But the food that she "hates" most is the pureed pimpkin and sweetcorn! Her face really "screwed" up after each and every mouth. I managed to "squeeze" 1 tbsp worth into her.


Hmm. Maybe she will be fickle-minded again, and munmm munmm everything dry tomorrow :)

Ouch Ouch

It's been 2 days since Kae fell from the bed. So far so good. No bruises, no unusual crying, no vomitting, no fitting.

Somehow, I feel very guilty. I mean, she fell from the bed while I was still sleeping. If I was awake, she wouldn't have fall. Now I keep thinking: did she hit her head? What if she damage some part of her brain? No there were no bruises on her head, nor any part of her body. Sigh.

Lesson learnt. No more sleeping on the job, literally. :(

Ouch

Kae fell from the bed this morning!

I was sleeping and she was already awake. Imagine my horror when I was awakened by her cries and I can't see her on the bed! My heart bled loh.

But she's okay now. The nurse after checking with my pd, called to say that we have to monitor the situation for the next 48 hours. And to bring her straight to A&E if she starts vomitting or going into a fit. Even if we do bring her to the hospital, all they can do is a skull scan, which is not advisable for a toddler, with the rays and what nought.

No bruises, no unusual crying, no vomitting, no fitting. Crossing my fingers, another 24 hours to go.

Happieeeeeeee!

It is the end of another loooooooooong week. Kae was waking very frequently in the nights in the early week, and I was damn stressed. Not enough sleep for the whole week. Luckily she got better on thur and fri.

My highlight of the loooooooooooooong week: The Dark Knight, Napa Aire, and meeting up with my primary school classmates. Yes, PRIMARY school. Heehee. The response I (and my classmates) would get when we tell others who we were meeting is usually: Hur, primary school, sure or not? I guess people usually keep in contact with friends they know at secondary, junior college and university levels, but very very unlikely with friends you know when you are 12 years old. So the people I met up with today are whom I've known since I was 7 years old. And 1 of them I've known since I was 5. Amazing hur? We will be meeting up soon hopefully.


The Dark Knight is a kick ass movie. Everyone should watch it! Kudos to Health Ledger, who put up a fantastic impersonation as the Joker. It is a pity that a talent like him passed on so early in his prime.

And I finally bought my Napa Aire! Heeheehee.


It had been a good weekend indeed.

Zzzzzzzzzz

I am super exhausted... Kae has been waking every hour since 2am... Help!!!

And now, I need to pump milk... And it's only Wednesday...

Kae's 1st contact with Nestle

We started Kae on cereals on Sat 12 Jul. As we were given some samples from our PD, we decided to start her on what we were given.

The result: well I guess it's kinda obvious she was not very into brown rice. I had the remaining cereal, heh. A bit tasteless :)





Then I went down NTUC to buy another packet. They only have the premium cereal for Stage 1. So I had no choice. But Kae loved it! Omg, I think my baby has got expensive taste :(

Bags galore

I cannot believe myself. After like what 15 trips to Loewe back and forth, I still cannot decide which napa aire bag I want?!??!?!

First, I wanted the gold shimmer colour. No stock. Wait. When they finally have the stock, I decided I want the new pre-fall collection colour. No stock. Wait. Today I went and discover that they will not be bringing in the size for the colour of my choice. And I saw that they have brought in the red coloured bag that I thought they had stopped producing (as it was a previous limited edition) and which I thought to myself I would buy if they ever bring that colour in again. Still I cannot make up my feeking mind. And the thing now is I am thinking I might just go for the "normal" collection, new arrival that is.

I seriously do not know what I want. Maybe I should just stick with the Vuitton family.

Kaelyn is now 6 months old!

How time flies! Kae had just turned 6 months old yesterday. We went to Prego to celebrate. Let's see her "progress" from 10 Jan to 10 Jul 08 :)

Update since 30 March 2007

Boy, have I not blog for ages. Technically, that was since 30 March 2007. 1 year and 3 months have passed since. And now I am a mother of a baby gal :)

We decided to have a baby in April 2007. And I got pregnant in the same month. Heh.

Kaelyn was born on 10 Jan 2008 at 1849hr, Raffles Hospital. She weighed 3.465kg and was 51cm in length. Quite a big baby for a girl, so I was told. We decided to induce her before the due date 14 Jan as we were afraid that she would be too big for me to push :)

Time flies. Come tomorrow, Kae will be 6 months old. Looking back the past 6 months, I wonder how I manage to take care of her solo since after the confinement period. Well, I guess I learnt and am still learning along the way. What to do, as I am stubborn to want to take care of my own baby my way. Heh.

With the baby, comes a lot of sacrifice! I have no time for myself now. No time for my dar now. No time for anything except Kae. Caring for a baby 24/7 is no joke. It's more tiring to look after a baby than working for a living. I have no time for my meals during the weekdays, and can only enjoy my meal when dar comes home from work. No time for toilet breaks and baths. My Kae is a light sleeper, like mummy. Sigh.

But now, it gets a bit easier. We can make out what she wants (although not always correct) when she wails. Her sleeping and milk feeding time is now more or less regular. She will have her last feed at 11 plus in the night, and wake up again at 5-6plus in the morning for her 1st feed of the day. Her 2nd bottle will be at 11am :) . Gone were the days when I have to wake up 2-3 times in the early morning to feed her. Whew!

Oh, we are going to start her on cereals this weekend, after she turns 6 months old tomorrow. Sigh, hope that will go well :)

With Kae in our lives, me and dar try to make couple time for ourselves. During weekends, we will have Kae cared by our parents while we enjoy our couple time doing shopping, spa sessions, movies, etc. It is important to us that we still spend quality time together alone without Kae.

Golf was one of our couple activities. But I have since stopped playing golf, to my dar's dismay. My arms and fingers are not really suitable for golf right now due to my pumping of breast milk for Kae. Will start golf again when I stop pumping. So for now, dar has to go to the range on his own on weekdays, either during lunch or after work; and going for golf games with his golf khakis :)

Going out with friends is also a challenge. I have to make prior arrangements with my friends and my parents to ensure that I will be free to meet my friends without bringing Kae along. I am free on alternate Sundays (Kae will be at Bishan) to meet with my friends, while dar will probably make use of the time to go for golf games with his.

Boy, I am tired. Will update on another day soon. Kae will be waking up soon. Yes, I am free to blog now as she is zzzzing.
