Siblings Love

PArents out there, have you ever having fears of having 2 kids???? Facing siblings rivalry, jealousy, etc.. etc..

Well, I guess so, cause i have that too.. And that's the reason why mummy always try not to divert too much attention away from baobei.. afterall it has been 4.5yrs, and she has been taking alot of attention from us..

Giving that, we also encourage her to participate as much of the didi's activities. ie.. all our pre-natal check, baobei is always there. When didi is smiling, we told her is because he is happy to have jiejie's love, etc etc.

After hearing what jiejie has told didi in this video. Mummy is so proud of her and so thankful to have them as my kids.

Video 1: Shows how jiejie communicate with didi and play along with his goo-in..


Video 2: Shows how jiejie told didi I love you 1hundred times..

Mummy's thoughts

What is happiness?
People living around me, some afford to have luxurious lifestyle own properties, own big cars, travelling around the world, buying branded stuff... etc etc.. Maybe they are happy??? but to me, life will be so empty without the bundle of joy in the family... If ask me am i happy?? My reply YESSS!!! well sometimes i do grumble on this on that... I don't have landed-properties, neither i have cars, neither i can travel like nobody business... but what I have is my 2 lovely kids where other people don't have...

They are my assets, unlimited returns... yes they can be quite handful at times, sometimes baobei will throw tantrums, baby will cry for nothing... It can be tiring to take care of them when they are not well, waking up every few hours to feed them milk... All these can be melted when they just show their kind gesture... Baobei always say : Mummy I love you.... Or Baby gives you a big smile...

Happines sometimes can be found in families whom live humbly... My goal in life, is not to be ambitious... I live within my means... give my best to nurture my 2 kids.... I never pin any hope if future they need to return anything to me... I don't need them to work and feed me...

All I want to tell them.. Mummy Loves you....You are my precious... Pricelesss... And the only one in the world...

The Opening Ceremony of Ergo Carrier

Previously when Van & Aileen bought it to use for their kids 2yrs back. Mummy is already drooling to get 1 to use it for Baobei as this can carry up to 25kg... But there and then, daddy asked if i will still hve the strength to carry a 15kg baobei on my body and walk for hours?? Answer is No..

So Van & Aileen said," We will get 1 for you if you are preg with #2"... And yes, they really keep their words. When they first know i'm pregnant, they have already bought this ergo carrier and kept it only till Baby turn 1mth....

As we don't have the infant insert, so is not advisable to use it for a newborn... Wait & Wait... now finally mummy can use it..

IT was started off when baby isn't very happy with it.. partly also because mummy hasn't get the hang of it.... and also the position to buckle on the waist, the length adjustment, etc...  but well, baby still give alittle face to me, and stayed in there for 1hr during jiejie's model class.

As most of the people know, previously i used alot of sling on Baobei.. But as the weight is always concentrated on 1 side of the shoulder, it usually cause aching after long hours.

What so good about this carrier??
>> ERGObaby’s baby carrier design supports a natural sitting position for babies, eliminating compression of the spine and hips that can be caused by unsupported suspension. The baby carrier also balances the baby's weight to parents' hips and shoulders, and alleviates physical stress for the parent.

Mummy is back to work - Week 1

AFter a long long 17.5wks of leave, mummy is back to work.... It is now finally the weekend.

First day of work, mummy is very tired in the morning as still have to wake up for midnight feedings and expressing of milk... But all tireness went off when baby woke up and give a big smile and send to the door. Well, baobei is particularly happy, when asked why she in such a high spirit she said. "Mummy can now go out with me in the morning"... Hahahaha...

In the office, there are many changes, more new faces, some have left, so have changed dept, etc etc.. The whole day is like a refresher day, i need to reset my pc, to review the past cases, refresh the memory on how to use the system... And in my mind, i just keep thinking what is baby doing at home, is he ok, and..... So during lunch hour, when i called popo to check on him, the moment he heard my voice he started crying... Popo says he is ok before you call..... After trying for the 2nd time on the next day, mummy concluded don't call better...

Moving on to the third day, baby really sayang mummy... He wakes up only 1 time for his night feeding which is like 6hrs apart and doze back to sleep after that and still wakes at 7am every morning and smile to us while we are preparing and send us to the door....

Mummy is quite upset where her milk supply drops tremendously... from the 240ml-300ml, 6hrs interval drops to only 120ml-200ml.... Is coming to 4mths, is time to wean him off EBM and start Formula le.... Anyway, i still express during lunch hour in the office.. hope i can just stay on for another 1-2mths... Ganbate!!!!

Baobei's new mattress

All these while, baobei has been sleeping on a 2layers of tri-fold mattress (1 is own, and the other is previously at Jiujiu house) which all bought from Seahorse.. One night when baobei insist to go over to jiujiu's house for stayover.. they took away 1 layer...

With juz 1 single layer, the whole mattress look so thin and uncomfortable.. So daddy decided to get her a new mattress... and while waiting for her to get ready to sleep on her own in future... After much persuasion from mummy, daddy bought her a Super-single mattress from the Mattress Centre and it cost us $388 for this pocket spring mattress, is a good deal...

And look at her, she look so tiny on it and can even roll around..

Baby 1st development - Heads up when on tummy

This is baby at 15th week, he is able to support his head very steadily when on tummy.. Unlike Baobei, during this time she is alittle wobbily. Also another cheeky boy, he knows how to smile to camera... hahahaha

Baby 1st Swim

As we have postponed couple of times, finally we brought baby to Babyspa @ Plaza Sing for his 1st swim.

We got a membership card with last session from Daddy's colleague which means it will be a complimentary session for us today and also a $10 off voucher from the TMC Hospital during our stay which this can offset any of the service.. and Mummy thought to give baby a good massage..

Baobei is very excited to bring her didi for the swim as she has seen many other babies swimming before.

First, the aunty there will need to change the diaper to the swimmer diapers... Then she start doing the warm-up massage... Look at him, simply enjoying every seconds of the service.

Ok, ready for the swim????,,,, So proud of this little one, not only he didn't cry he gets adapt to the little pool very fast and he start to kick his legs underneath.,. Mummy at first requested the aunty to take a family photo for us, she asked us to wait a while... Wait wait wait, mummy forgotten all about it and baby is out of the pool.. *SHUCKS*

After 10mins of pool, what comes next?? MASSAGE!!!!... Look at his shiok face, is really worth spending..

Mummy & Baobei's New Watch - Gift From Daddy

Daddy has bought 2 watches this month.

Baobei's - Disney Princess Aurora.
->> Baobei has been wanting us to buy her a disney princess watch, it is quite pricey and that's why we didn't really wanted to get for her initially. We told Baobei she need to behave herself and also to start learning to read time... And she really did!!! She has been asking us how to read time from the clock..

Mummy's - Ball Automatic Watch
->> Daddy said he wanted to get a gift for mummy as an appreciation for delivering 2 lovely kids. Initially, he heard mummy wanted to buy a bag, he asked her to look around. After much thoughts, mummy still prefer to get something which has a longer lifespan.. Bags, usually don't last for more than 1yr. Watch is the next better choice.
