back from the hols...

we're back... i'm sure everyone feels the same way as i do, coming back from a nice holiday - that it could have been longer! i'll just come right out and say this - i love australia - i've always had! it is a great place where one can have the best of both worlds - bustling cities and quiet towns. relaxing when you wish and plenty to do at other times. we had a great time the past one week... think i'll just let the photos do the talking (with a little commentary)... enjoy!




pre-departure


travelling with a baby - we had 2 luggages, 1 backpack, 1 infant car seat and 1 stroller (we came back with 4 luggages, 1 backpack, 1 infant car seat and 1 stroller though. i might add that we used 3 space-saver compression bags for our dirty clothes - otherwise, we might have ended up with more than 4 luggages)




running amok in the airport - we wanted to let her expend all her energy before our midnight flight so that she will sleep on the 7.5 hrs journey there.




onboard the skytrain because our departure gate is (almost) the last (and the furthest away)


my lil' princess couldn't conceal her happiness!

awake halfway through the flight - sitting on the bassinet (poor mummy only got 2 hrs of sleep)


the 'miserly' flight pack we got from SQ (imagine paying about S$750 for that - plus the use of the bassinet - they 'ran out of food' for lil' princess. in comparison, our ticket was S$1,100 and we get a seat + meals. what a ripoff!)

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.
