Longest flight

I have been sort of training Alex to understand the word, "up" and to vocalise that he wants to get up. And just after a few days, he could do so. Here's the evidence on video... :D

Here I am, 1+am in the morning and attempting to blog in spite of my tiredness. Running on adrenaline now...

Today is rather eventful, not because its my birthday... Talking about my birthday, it's the first time in years I spent in Singapore but I didn't celebrate it today. 2004 Scotland, 2005 ?, 2006 Bali, 2007 Melbourne (Ocean Road!!) Haven't spend it here in years that I think some friends got used to the fact and forgot my birthday! Anyway it's ok.

Alex is still not well from his cold n cough. This morning his cough worsened. The PD called me for his lab test result and he doesn't have whooping cough (TG)... but over the phone, PD could tell that Alex's cough was worse. In the end, trotted down to the PD clinic and PD diagnosed that Alex has bronchitis :(((

Seeing that Alex is sick, we don't have mood to go out for the planned couple dinner. Tonight I had to wipe him down twice coz he puked all over himself n me. Did 2 batches of laundry. Use the neubiliser on him. Fed him countless times. Haha, I think I'm a superwoman, albeit a can't lose weight one!! Where's the husband? He did help out but was exhausted and I barked my commands at him. Poor guy...

If there's anything I would wish for my birthday, I wish that Alex recovers soon.

My boy has been nursing a cold since last week and now he has a phlegmy cough. Any mother would wish that her babe will always be well, so am I and I rather I am the one who is sick. I have also over-estimated the power of BM! Seeing that he's so uncomfortable, and there's nothing much we can do is pretty exasperating. My poor babe. Daddy and mommy will do all they can to let you get well soon.

I went out hunting for a nasal aspirator and was told that the device has been out of stock for many months. I tried NTUC, Kiddy Palace and BHG. If anyone knows where to get this device or come across similar devices recently, please let me know. TIA!

Alex turned 3mths last week. Now he smiles more and has became more interactive. He's a sweet boy and we just love him more and more. :) I wish I can say that I have lost more weight but it has been stagnant since last month! :( With him getting bigger, it's time to work out something for my life... Life as a sahm is pretty boring!

Sweet Alex, cute belly button!

I realised today that situation has improved in my life, especially communication with my mother that I once thought it's impossible to get through to her. Then I was despondent about an argument with the hubb, and who would know that our CG leader and mate had an uninitiated, out of the blue man-to-man talk among the three of him. Immediately, hubb became more self aware and changed his ways which pleases me quite a fair bit. Somemore today's sermon topic on a man's role is so right for him. God moves in His mysterious ways. Whenever we have a need, He meets our needs swiftly. Praise God!

Ok, I am tired after the weekend's activities. Nevermind me if I don't make sense. :) Just counting my blessings... which of coz includes our little bundle of joy who has just turned 3mths old! :)

Alex couldn't agree more with mummy

So proud of my boy who can now stand with our assistance. :)

Dun mind the mess in the background. :p

Alex can stand

Mummy is not feeling well

Urgh, I am having food poisoning and I blame myself. I have a huge appetite these days and it scares me. My biggest meal of the day is during lunch and half the time I cook lunch for myself at home so portion is not a problem.

Yesterday I met a gal pal for lunch. Decided that I will treat myself to a better lunch and here's what I ate. Barnyard salad and a three amigos bake pasta at NYDC. That's not all. THEN after which an Azuiki freeze drink and some chicken poppers at TCC. I think it's the last dish that sealed the deal. I was in agony on the way home and immediately went to see the doc. Luckily Andrew was with me and I passed him Alex. Went to see the doctor and boy, was I dizzy and my blood pressure reading was 100/60, which is quite low for me. (Dunno why but I am fascinated with my bp readings) The scary thing is I can still eat after all that food and have my usual dinner. I like my food, but I think this is too much food!

Hubb said he will take care of bb at night, but in the end I am still the one taking care of bb. -_- Now the mil is here babysitting, so I can take a rest. Haizzz.

Alex's first swim

Yet another post about my little darling. Hehe.

Last Saturday we went to Vivocity to run an errand. I had also wanted to shop for clothes (damn my fat body!), but somehow it ended up we looked for baby stuff 90% of the time and the other 10% were both of us having ice cream. Feel like I didn't achieve anything for myself but at least my boy has his first swim! It was this small set up (can't rem the name) at harbour front where there are little bath tubs for babies to swim (or float) in. Next time we will just use the terribly underused bath tub at home!

Alex was so cute *biased mummy*. At first he was apprehensive, but after we taught him to paddle water, he began to get it and enjoyed himself. But I guess it was too tiring for him coz he pooped into the water near the end of the session. Haha! So there you go, my poopy boy!

i went out to buy lunch today and slinged the bb with me. on my way back, i walked past these 2 women. they were looking at me. at first i tot they are admiring my sling or how "capable" i am venturing out with bb.

it's only when i reached my place then i realised the bottom i m wearing is loose and everyone i had walked past has seen my underwear! -_-
