Chinese New Year & Keira's 5th month story

Phew! It's been a month since I updated! OMG.... work work and work... what else can I say!?!
Thank goodness its CNY holidays! I can rest and relax, with my family!
I shan't write too much today... just enjoy these pictures!

--> Me at grandparents' house. Well, I am holding an angbao. Oh.. dun you think I look very chubby here? Look at the T-shirt that I'm wearing - doggie.. coz I was born in the year of Dog! Mama tot it's a cute T and made me wear this. However, everyone commented that the t-shirt is too tight and showing my 'spare tyre'!.. even papa is blaming mama for making me look so fat! Even uncle Raymond is laughing at me and my wobbly tummy! :(




Arrgghh... what is Cousin Karin trying to do with me??? arrghhh... I want to be kissed by a boy, not a gal leh...












Yeah... mama and I in the car going to granny's house... ehh... how come my skirt look so high-waisted here??? mama's so unfair.. she's wearing a low-waisted sexy jeans, yet mine is so ugly!

Keira's 4th month story

Lotsa headlifting and tummy exercises Keira has been getting into lately. However, she has yet to flip that much as other babies that I have heard about from the mothers' forum. We've managed to capture some nice pics of Keira during her tummy time and head held so high...
Did anyone notice "her finger action" on the 3rd pic? keke....

Keira's coming into her 4th month, and I'll be starting her on cereal next week. Found out from a forum mum that she is using Friscocream for her bb and gave good feedback on that particular brand, so I am definitely going to get that from NTUC! Dr Ngiam also said that we can start her on fresh fruits and give her in puree form... hmm.. apples, bananas and papayas are good starters... ooh.. I am getting excited for her! :)

I am trying to spend every moment that I can spare with Keira, however, work has been getting rather heavy since I started after ending my maternity leave in mid Dec.... Everyday, I have to leave no later than 615-630pm so that I can fetch Keira back home from my bro's place. Why so early? Coz Keira Zzzzz.. by about 8pm everyday! After I put her to bed, I am usuallly back to work on my laptop again.... Next week, I will be on biz trip to Reno... and I am going to miss Keira terribly, I know! This will be my 2nd trip since coming back to work.... it's part and puzzle of work, so I am alright with it although I will miss hugging, carrying and smelling her.. :0

Keira says: Papa's Birthday...Yeah!

Papa's birthday today! I am so excited and happy because this will be a special day for both papa and me! My sweetie mama bought a present on my behalf for dear papa.... very sweet of her... she could think of this!

Check this out... its a mug with a foto of papa+me .. this pic was taken the day of my discharge from hospital after my birth :-)
The back of the mug reads 'I love daddy! Keira's your best gift this birthday!' :-)

Hmm.... I wonder what will papa do for mama for the birthday in June... hee

X'mas & Niece Karin's Birthday

It's Christmas time again! This is the first X'mas for Keira, hope she is excited about it! This year, we are also celebrating my niece Karin's 2-year-old birthday and it will be held at Karin's house :) My other niece Valerie will also be here...

So here's Keira with her stuff toy from Nancy...

This is Karin... mean of me... I stuff her present from her aunt Nancy into her top... hehe.. but look how happy she is anyway...

Oops.. I realised I do not have a picture of Valerie on this day....but anyway.. here's another pic just to show you who is Valerie.. and her mum Nancy...

Keira's 3rd month PD check up

23/12 went for 2 jabs + 1 oral. Dr Ngiam said only some babies will run a fever after the jab, and Keira just happen to be one of them.. jeezz... make me soooo worried. Can't give her medicine as she was reading at 37.2. Dr said give medicine at 37.5 .. ok.. just have to monitor.... but finally gave her a dose at evening... she slept thru the nite... this morning, measure her temperature and was at 36.9 .. not that bad.. at least fever is coming down... it's Xmas, and I really hope Keira can have her 1st Xmas happily spent with mummy and daddy....

Keira's growth record...14 weeks (3.5 months) check up:
Weight: 5.98kg
Length: 62cm
I was so worried sick that Keira had not poo-ed for 3 days, and ended up with one VERY BIG POO on her fourth day! Gosh! Dr Ngiam said it's perfectly normal.. and babies can go without poo for 3 - 5 days.... WOW! Since Keira's on 70% breastmilk currently, it is normal according to Dr Ngiam....

Gynae check up updates

Ar... Went for gynae check up after 2.5 months. Gynae said that my uterus has shrunk back to original size already.. However, I still have a minor bulge and she said that is muscles from the c-sect that will take a while to flatten.. oh gosh!!!!!! Weight wise.. couple more kgs to go.. and I can't wait to get back into my skinny jeans! .
Anyway.. ... ... in about a week's time, I will be back to work.. end of maternity.. wow.. that is really fast! I am going to miss Keira badly.. coz first day of work is an overseas assignment to Sydney... and I will be away from her for 4 days..... jeez... can I take it well?????? NO! I will miss her badly!!!!!

Keira's 2nd month story

Yeah ... Keira's hair is growing since her last "botak" shave...hmm..her front part is growing faster than the back.. strange coz before shaving, her front wasn't growing as fast as the back..haha.....hope she'll have a nice full set of hair before chinese new year..so that she can look cute and pretty when she meets daddy and mummy's frenz and relatives for the 1st time....

Ar Keira is also getting heavier ...hehe wonder what is her weight now..haha...how heavy she is growing everyday..haha
Hmm..lately she has alot of wind in her stomach.. and that makes me worry leh..how leh.. her poo poo also very watery..hmm...and I am also forcing her to drink gripe water (forcing because other than milk, she doesn't want anything clear") and apply ru yi oil.. hope she sleeps better now...

Here are some fotos of Keira at her 2nd month:

On her stroller at IMM Mall:

Keira looks very demure in these 2 pics. I love these pics... so sweet!

There is something she is looking at.. haha.. a mobile toy playing on the top of her playpen...
