7th month very soon!

18 Aug 09
So glad that I've waited till bb turned 6th mths before I gave him any solids.

So far bb has tried:
Bellamy organic rice porridge
Sweet Potato
Pumpkin
Carrot
Banana
Green Pea
Nestle Brown Rice Cereal
Gerber Apple Sauce
Earth's Best First Pears

He finished all the servings!
And yesterday I gave him Avocado for the first time.
Plain avocado and he loves it!
My MIL commented that avocado is so tasteless!
But my bb loves it -- just like ME!

I will serve baby the fruits/ Veg on its own without mixing it with the milk so that he can taste the food. So glad that he is not a fussy eater and has been digesting the food really well.

Will have to read more books to find more recipes to feed him.
Next will be fish/ pork porrige.. Hippie

6th mths soon!!

17 Jul 2009

My bb will turn 6th mths in another weeks' time!

how time flies!

I can still recall how me & HB got stressed when we were trying to conceive.
I can still remember how the pungent garlic smells when I was pregnant.
I can still remember how I only eat and sleep and watched TV for few weeks at home when Gynae gave me the MC.

Now bb is goring so fst and soon we have to introduce solids for him..

And now we have decided to stick to Friso 2 milk powder for him..
Cos' previously when he was on similac, he could only poo once every 3- 4 days.

BB has been a Happy and lovely bb thus far..

And poor baby still has a swollen eye cos his fingers poked it and a big bump on his head cos of the evil mosquitoes..

I am looking forward to see his expression when he first tast the rice cereals!

:)

bb yexiang is already 5.5mths old..

now he :
- is able sit straight with little support
- has strong neck support
- is getting louder
- is responding to ppl/ music with smiles
- laughs aloud ..(cute)
- pushes away the milk bottle when he doesnt want it
- flips whenever we put him down on the bed/sofa

mummy hopes yexiang will like avocado and bananas.
And mummy hopes yexiang will love the greens and not be a picky eater.


mummy and daddy are so happy that yexiang baby has been a lovely boy.
yexiang never cries when he wakes up earlier than mummy and daddy.
and yexiang often gives mummy 8hrs sleep :)

25 June 09

my dear bb will turn 5 mths on this coming Sat..
Time flies..

Till now, bb has already learned how to turn over.
Also he has been laughing aloud very frequently.
drooling alot lately. ..
yesterday he finished his bottle of milk after we have changed the teat to a harder one ....MIL & me suspect that bb is going to have his first tooth very soon..

Now bb has started to make louder noises..
And we realise that he likes to listen to music.. and smiles when someone sings to him:)
Perhaps he can be a Super-singer in future?

haha .according to a dear fren, my bb is so much more well-behaved compared to her terror little gal..

soon, next mth, daddy is going to buy a safe car seat for bb.
(When daddy's new toy arrives)

And now I am waiitng for year end to come so that we can try for a little sister/ brother for bb. Also thinking if I should change my gynae for the next preg..

home with bb

21may 09
Today is the start of my seven days leave. Stayed hm with bb whole day. We started with the "your baby can read" dvd.'he dint look very interested.. Me so happy that i got thee dvd at 20% off at popukar

my baby @3rd mth lor!!

hei hei!

I hv finally decided to update my blog.
Its 29 April 2009 and my Lovely Baby has already turned 3mths and 2 days old!

Yes, me & HB are still very excited with this little baby.
And he is growing fast everyday.

Its really a joy and a blessing to have our own little one.

I had the good fortune to have a good confinement lady.

Trauma for me -- on the very afternoon that she left.
I was left alone with bb and that was the first time that i bottle fed him.
BB closed his eyes and slept straight after I fed him -- gave me a huge fright!
I thought I hv choked him and he @@### ...
How foolish...

Since then we have shifted to a bigger place, engaged a maid and now staying with my mil. (suddenly 4 new lives came into my life --bb, maid, mil + a dog)
So many new stuff came into my life.. and needless to say, I have to make many adjustments -- mentally & physically.

Mentally
-- now a mother.. bb has to come first before myself
-- hired a new maid.. hv to be extremely patient with her
-- staying with mil .. hv to think twice before i can say or do something
-- staying with a dog .. i hv to tolerate the ever-flying dog hair and dog smell
-- can no longer shop for clothes that labels -- FREE size or L

Physically
-- can no longer fit into my "L" size clothes . cos of the bigger frame, bigger tummy
-- bodyaches.. possibly cos of rheumatoid arthritis... which makes me less active
-- definitely less sleep

anyway, so far life is good..
at least i managed to get my manicure, pedicure , facial, shopping done before i return to work next week...

lets see how my baby behaves while i am at work.

*****Life will be blooming more!!
(think a garden full of sunflowers)

36th week.

16 Jan 09

counting now to the big day... 

36th week now.. i lost 2kg from last check up. now weighing at 73.5kg. bb estimated at 3.2kg. bb is in good shape and very active! with lots of hair too :)

gynae say we should still wait and see if natural birth is ok for me.. 

have to look at my cervix's condition to determine the chance/ successful rate for a natural birth..

otherwise, alternative may be to induce or a C-sec.. 

so right now, gynae has given approval for me to walk more ..go stroll in park,gardens.. 

she says its unlikely that she will want me to keep bb in tummy after 38th week.. 

that means i have another 2 weeks before i deliver.. 

cool.. means i still can enjoy me first few days of cny.. 

hee.. pineapple tarts, bak kwa, nuts etc yummy .. 

also we have just cleared the room to make way for our bb cot..another batch of bb stuff to wash up before the big day.. 

looking forward! yeah..
