home run...

we are less than 3 weeks' from the arrival of #2 - in fact, our OB 'predicts' that i will go into labor next week based on the fact that #2 is already 60% engaged - i am totally not ready since i still have plenty to do at work.



on homefront, we are more or less ready - the baby cot was set up for C's use so that she will not roll over didi at night - and she has been co-operating by sleeping into the cot since it was up last weekend. i also spent some time sewing pillow cases for my 2 little babies last weekend - need to find more blue cloth though! we also bought a pack of newborn diapers to standby - anyone who has had a baby will know how much diapers they use in the initial months!



it has become increasing difficult for me to move around, no thanks to the bulge... even turning from one side to another on the bed is a chore! not to mention the numerous times i have to wake up each night to pee with the bb constantly pressing on my bladder. 38" is (hopefully) the biggest that i've ever been in my whole life - now i wonder how i'm going lose all those weight after delivery... *sigh*

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!

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.
