Sunday family outing!

Yesterday was our 1st Sunday family day...We visited yeye and nainai in woodlands... mummy and daddy wants to make it a point for us to go their hse once every weekend so dat yeye n nainai can have a fairshare of bonding with u...

The sarong party mama..haha..mummy's 1st time using the sarong..

U r snuggling inside like a cocoon...mummy's trying to lift ur head up for a shot!

Haa..n Daddy wana be a part of it too!
U r dressed in a bright and cheery summer romper.. and ur fist is clenched so tight!

Yeye and nainai were so thrilled to c u...U r like the apple of everyone's eyes...Wonder will u be a spoilt brat next time? Daddy was telling me he wun let it happen! he will nt buy u toys n presents for no apparent reasons...and if u scream and cry in public to get attention, he will jus ignore u.....hhahaha.....but well......

He failed the Daddy test!

Cousin Gina's son Zhiheng(2 yrs) was with us and we went grocery shoppin at supermarket...he took ribena sweets and m&m chocolates and gave it to nainai to put in the basket. Daddy saw and ask him "who say u can buy sweets har?" "Give me the sweets.". As soon as zhiheng pass daddy the sweets.....he wailed loudly and grabbed onto auntie tracy! refusing to look at Daddy! hahahha ....daddy was so shocked cos he was only teasing him and didn't expect dat kind of reaction fr zhiheng. He quickly said in a very coaxing way "Harna harna dun cry la, jokin la..buy la..i buy for u ok?" ultimately he gave in to the power of crying! haha...if u cry next time..wonder hw will he react? like the stern daddy he claim he will be? or the I give u everything u want daddy? wahahahahah...............

Overall, u r a good ger yesterday...slept soundly on our journey to n fro...only the occassional fussing at hm due to hunger n pooing....

Mummy forgot to pack in desitin cream and telon oil..other then that..ur barang is complete. hope I can handle u alone soon...then i can bring u shoppin and tea with mummy's frens!

P.S : Nowadays she can dun poo for 1 whole day!

Thank you!

We are truly blessed...recieved lots of beautiful gifts, ang baos n well wishes from relatives n frens for the birth of my lil girl. The list is long.... so West and I sincerely thank all for ur generousity and kindness...

During my hosp stay, lotsa hampers were recieved! I benefitted from the many tonics and Kirs baby has more chio chio new clothes and accessories!

My ex company, Paet Engineering bought a playpen! now placed in my mom's room..so Kirs can slp there in the nite.

Back at home, we have more visitors and more gifts.....

Uncle Chuan and auntie Jasmine are gog USA to work for 2 yrs. Leaving mth end so cant attend her baby shower. So they got her a fisher price toy in advance!

Uncle Patrick was back home for the last weekend and gotta go back to M'sia to work. Cant attend the baby shower too. So he got Kirs more clothes!

Auntie Cavis painstakingly did hairbands, clippies and bibs for Kirs..100% handmade!

Rie's colleague, Micheal gave Kirs a pendant...

My Mom, Wai Po, bought Kirs an anklet and a necklace..

I hereby wana thank Rie too, for his moral support and love..Thou he cant help much in the general duties of taking care of Kirs, he is here for us and tries his best to do what he can. He forgo MOST (not all) of his leisure times, and just stay hm or runs errands for us. During this vulnerable period...his plain existence means alot to me..it means I have someone to rely on and cheer me on when i feel low....Thanks Rie, I lub u..muacks...

Last but not least, I wana thank my MOM!

She's the best mom in the world! helping me to do confinement and taking care of the lil one....it has been ages since she take care of a newborn and she's trying and learning. On top of that, she needs to take care of my meals and well being. And worse of all, I'll throw tantrums at her.. cos she'll remind me to drink chix essense, bird's nest n dom everyday... i find it nagging and always try to siam...When I cant bathe and have to eat and do the same routine everyday, I'm easily irritable and jus likes to retort back whatever things she asks me.... When she sees me..its always " Want to eat anything?" I know she meant well..and tinkin back, I feel real real guilty..

Actually I'm very fortunate, cos bb slps w her in the nite. She has to wake up in the middle of the nite to give her nite feeds while I can have ample rest and can slp thru out the nite.. She's really more tired then I am....

And because newton's store is shorthanded, sometimes she still help out in the weekend. When she comes back in the wee hours, she still cant slp in peace cos Kirs will be brought to her room, and any crying means she gotta wake up and attend to her...The things she did for me are too long to list.....but it sets me tinking....

A mom's love for her child is so generous n kind. Thanks Mommy, I lub u...I hope I can be a great mommy like u too...

Progress, Kirs @ 2 weeks old...

I've passed the half of my confinement ordeal! 2 more weeks to go!

Progress of Kirs,

1. In general she's a good baby..drinks her milk n get back to slp..

2. She drinks abt 90ml (3 oz) now. Meanin I have to keep pumping to meet her demand..thou sometimes supplement with formula.

3. She is very awake and likes to explore after her bath time..abt 11am to 1pm and also at nite 11pm to 1am sometimes 2am...very shag cos mummy wana slp! Lucky I got my mummy and rini to help me...keke

4. I dun latch her that often now, cos she will get sleepy after 1 side..and then refuse to latch the other side. Then cant gauge how much she consumed. Quite sad...

5. She's a real sucker...I need to introduce her to pacifier...

Progress of Mummy,

1. no more soreness for me. Now i can move with ease...

2. Menses stop...

3. Still adjusting to breastmilk, breastmilk and more breastmilk!

4. Bonding with Kirs aint strong yet..cos my mummy n rini help me do most of the work..

Pictures Time!

Mummy and daddy trying our best to act stylo and chio for our family pic... but fail terribly! haha....weird angle! U r a natural thou..keke ...The process was funny n hilarious...

So end of pdt is super unglam Mum n dad with lil Kirs.....

Then is elder sista Fifi and lil Kirsten!

Daddy posing with his baobei....

Kungfu moments!

Eeeee!......!! Mismatched mittens! wahahaha not me..its ur grandma....

Hospital Bill Size and Updates...

Kirs is 1 week 3 days old.. her umblical cord dropped on exactly at 1 week after her birth! She's peeling too...They said its normal cos she's growing up n changing her skin..(like snake?)


Then the blisters on her left index finger is recovering! We were so worried when we saw the blisters at birth. Wonder isit any abnormality? PD told us the blisters were due to baby sucking her fingers in my womb and will recover. So no worries.... I was tinkin..Alamak..Maybe I ate too much KFC when I was having her..then she's like "finger lickin good?" Muahahahahahahaha





Progress on Mummy herself....

Had my postnatal massage for 3 consecutive days oredi...the 1st day was shiok and rejuvenating..but after a few days of rubbing on the same muscles..it's quite painful wor...The jamu herbs really heat up and I always feel so hot after massage. The herbs are said to expel wind in my uterus and flush away blood clots. The massue, Mdm Suriyah, is very kind and she shared with me wat to eat to increase milk flow and wat food to avoid if I'm gonna carry on breastfeeding. And yes, it is super uber painful when she massage my blocked milk ducts!

I've cleared another 1 kg..so 6 more kgs to shed!
Confinement is really about sleep, eat, milk, rest and sweat... the weather is damn horrigible and yet I've got to withstand the heat n sweat it out.... Seriously, I felt unkept and irritable.. But wat to do... They always say is for my own good... only 1 week gone..3 more weeks? Damn ....


And Fifi is such a dear... She understands that there are changes in the family now. She doesnt disturb Kirs (only the occasional sniffing thou). She will silently watch us when I'm breastfeeding or jus bochup and sleep. Cashie boy on the other hand, barks when Kirs cry... dunno is he trying to be helpful or wat... ie. To inform us Kirs baby is crying or to tell us Kirs baby's cries is irritating .... well i choose to believe the former...kekekeke
