i realised that i hv this bad habit of promised (to blog abt so many things) but nv deliver! lol... anyway, i doubt anyone reads my blog nowadays since i hardly blog too.

2 more days to returning to work. 16w of maternity leave just passed by like that.. ok, i managed to psycho myself to keep 5 days for "emergency" use. but seriously, 16w is NOT enough at all! the only time when u can hv your 'me' time is when your bb slps. and when she is awake, you wanna slp! blah... and charlotte always has the habit of waking up whenever i wanna slp or eat! duh... i even need to ask permission from her to use the restroom too! heehee.. veri exaggerating, i know! :p

finally, we have managed to find a nanny for charlotte too! she is a frd of my mum & is highly recommended in the neighbourhood. muahaha!! veri kuazhang again, but its true. anyway, there is a chinese saying, "用人不嶷，嶷人不用", something like you dun engage someone you cannot trust, and if you wanna engage him/her, dun doubt their ability... ok, i am bad at translating such thing but this is roughly wat it means.

other than charlotte, the nanny also is looking after a 5yo little gal. best thing is she loves charlotte too! she will sing songs to her, play with her and even gave her sweet! ahahah!! so funny! and... she gave up her bed to let charlotte slp on it. :_) how sweet can it be. the nanny told us that she kept asking if charlotte will be coming the next day, the next next day and the next next next day. lol... :D she even rang up to tell the nanny that she is not coming the next day but she will pop by just to play with charlotte. HAHAHA!!

phew.. even though like many other mothers out there, i can't bear to leave my baby. but i'm still glad that she is coping well so far and i reckon this is the best option so far since sahm isn't a good choice for me now.....

yup, i was given an option to be a sahm by DH. he knows i can't bear to leave her and at that time, we were in the dilemma of who to take care of the baby. then again, there are too many factors to consider given that we have just renovated our nest. $$$ is flowing out like water and of cos, i dun like the idea of getting $$ from him shld i wanna go shopping. >.< i feel quite happy buying things for myself using my hard-earned $$ actually. hahah.. but of cos, i wont say NO if he wanna pay on my behalf lah. hur hur..

so for the sake of a better life (cost of enjoying) and better future (cost of living), i will have to give up this idea first and continue working. hopefully i can juggle well as a ftwm and be a successful 'career' woman with qty family life. ;)

anyway, i'm kinda looking fwd to join the workforce cos i can wear nice nice and have some adult interaction. i was like an auntie for the past few weeks, and i havent been putting on full makeup & wearing heels for veri long time! then again, i'm not sure if i will still say the same thing after work starts. :-/ oh well...

however, i will definitely look fwd to knocking off and weekends so that i can spend time with her. absence makes the heart grow fonder, don't they?

alrighty, after a long lengthy post, here are some photos of the cheeky gal... all taken using iphone ;)


































xoxo.

One by one, everyone at home is falling sick.. flu, cough, headache.. woot! and i was unlucky enough to be the new victim of fever, chill & body ache. suspected down with mastitis (but thk god, NO!), so gotta hot compress while pumping or before feed and cold compress after every feed/pump despite of the giddiness!

i need to continue latching charlotte so as to boost up her immunity system. totally no joke as i couldn't helped but to think i might pass my virus to her. not thru bm, but air. burrr.. thank god for DH! even though he was down with flu, he took care of me and staying closed to us with his mask on. :_)

while i thought i've recovered, charlotte fell sick. and nope, not the virus from us but side effect from rotavirus vaccine! pui.. we rejected 6-in-1 due to the risk of fever, but little did we know we were that unlucky to be the victims from the side effects of rota!

she constantly asking for milk, but puke after every feed! then asked for milk again. -_-" we thought there was a let-down reflux and spoon feed her instd. but to no avail. she puke with or without burping! not forgetting to mention that she was cranky and refused to slp till 4ish today! no one can soothed her at all!! not even my mum.. sigh!! how worried sick we were then!

gave the pd a call the next day, she told us to bring her down for a review. and yup, our poor baby is suffering from the mild side effects of rota vaccine! :(( juz gotta monitor her closely and if she ever puke heavily again, we need to admit her str8 to KK for x-ray!

omg, no way i will let that happen!! even though that might be the best solution. keeping our fingers crossed tightly, we brought her home and let her rest as much as she can. good thing was she did not puke during the afternoon feed, but slightly during the last one.

hopefully she will recover soon. and she will be getting her 5-in-1 and last rota when she hits 3m. pray that she will be fine! ^_^x
