happy birthday to me

me... the mummy, that is... i'm getting closer to the big 3! scary!

sleep, that's the present little one gave me. she has been waking up every 2 hours for feeds the last week or so. i put it down to 'growth spurt' and am very glad that i do not need to report for work every morning but last night, she only woke up once (even though i woke up a couple of times to check in on her) so there, my little one gave me the opportunity to catch up on some much needed sleep. how sweet of her, isn't it?

i do think that she's very 'clever' for her age, from examples:
  • when i was staying with my in-laws, she was willing to drink expressed breast milk from bottles (fed lovingly by grandma). the minute i moved home, she rejected the bottles and only wanted to latch on.
  • she started 'recognising' mummy and daddy from about 11 weeks. no one else can carry her now.
  • she 'allows' me to do my things, e.g. when i finish my bath, i need to dry my hair (otherwise i get a terrible headache), so she lies on my bed and watch me dry my hair. but when i am not doing anything, she 'demands' to be carried and loves to walk around. i'm the privileged one coz dh has to carry her and walk around all the time! :P
we decided to make her passport so that we can bring her along our trips across the causeway (where things ARE cheaper)... unfortunately, the photo i submitted online for her passport application got rejected (i tried photoshopping it! :P) so i brought her to the studio y'day to have her passport photo taken. here's what she looked like:

pretty, isn't she? just like mummy :P

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.
