days after the parties

what a relief - confinement is FINALLY over! i have to say i'm totally sick of eating food cooked with sesame oil and ginger. i'm so glad that i can bathe like a normal human being (without having to boil herbs, wait for it to cool and boil again before i bathe!) and not worry about my body/hair being wet and getting 'wind' into my system. most of all, i'm free as a bird! i can now go shopping, have my manicure/pedicure done, enjoy a leisurely walk, etc etc...

my precious little gal is coming 6 weeks old and has more or less settled into a routine. we had two weekend of parties for dear princess... a small cozy party of DH's extended family on 06 may and a whole day event with my extended family as well as our friends and colleagues on 13 may. its nice to be able to catch up with everyone but unfortunately, i couldn't find the time to take photos of everyone! those of you who graced this special event (you know who you are!), thank you so much for taking time to do so... and more importantly, thank you for your generous gifts!

i've been blessed...

once more!! the regular meetup kah-kis were just talking about this last week... about how as we move further away from the newborn stage, the less inclined we would be to have another one! one of us even set the dateline for june 09 to hit the jackpot (its not me! i'm terrible with datelines!)! so now i have an explanation for the weight gain, the sore nipples when li'l one nurses and my craving for meat! bring me the churrascaria anytime! i now have a legitimate reason to pig out! :P on a more serious note, will i have enough love to go around? will i have the time and energy to chase after a active toddler and at the same time, change nappies & nurse every hour? how will li'l one take to her new sibling? and most importantly - will the new sibling be a 'meimei' or 'didi' for li'l one? i suppose - only time will tell!

look what i found in li'l princess cereal this morning... 3 LIVE WORMS!!! she had already eaten more than half the bowl when i saw this... yikes! we're staying off that brand of cereal for now! side note : li'l princess' appetite received a tremendous boost around the same time - now she eats breakfast, tea, lunch, tea, dinner, supper! are the worms in her stomach still, eating up her nutrients?!?!

strawberry milk?

warning: graphic post i've always thought that bfing gets easier (& better) with subsequent children - because you are supposed to know what to do already! unfortunately though, i am still dodged by the same problems 2nd time round... its largely because my li'l prince decides that night feeds are not important & me, being the 'lazy' one, choosing sleep over clearing the milk ducts... now i'm in so much pain that i'm close to shouting out my entire vocabulary of expletives at the top of my voice! doesn't help that dh doesn't appreciate nor empathise with me! and oh, that's milk tinged with blood by the way & not strawberry milk! i had to use needles to poke and try to find the blocked ducts - that's the reason for the blood. no fun at all... i gave up after 15 mins w/o finding all the spots.
