Today I will be on my own handling little princess ..... as usual make milk,watch tv and bathe her in the morning.  At around 1pm ..... I set off to parkway to get more cake vouchers cos the one that i bought yesterday is not enough.  1st time using the sarong sling as shown above to bring her out.

Watched the cd on the demonstration of how to use the sarong before and still I feel that I am not doing it good ..... but think of when I am alone I have to carry the pram and her I will die ... no choice but to really had it try on.  Still not too bad .... and to my surprise the moment I put her into the sarong she fell asleep!!!  She is sleeping throughout the whole of my short shopping trip but when she reached East Shore she is awake!

Thanks mei!

16 Feb 2008

YIPEE! This is the last day of my confinement ....... I am so happy .....kinda busy for today cos the very next day is my precious baby's full month!

We have our place cleaned and pack all my DOM, chicken essence all in my bomb shelter thanks to my part time maid - Popo.  She have done a great job for me by keeping my place neat and tidy at all times!

Mama & Papa came over to our place in the late evening to see is there any things to help out and my MIL came by at about 8+ 9.  She drove down the stools and tables for tomorrow's events and also made some red eggs at her side before coming to our place to continue the 2nd batch.

Papa & Mama stay to help out in "dying" the eggs ...... thanks to my parents and my parents in law for the help!  Without you all .....I will not be able to handle all these stuffs with my Tong Tong with me cos she is super sticky!

By the time all things done is already past midnights and we have to wake up early on the next day.  I guess I am the most tired cos my Tong Tong very on time during feeding time I hardly have any rest ...... hope that she can adjust back her time and I shall be more relax next time when I get back to work......

Ending soon ....

I have been counting down to the last day of confinement cos i will be free ..... but some says confinement last for 40 days!  Another 10 days!  I think just another second i also cant take it! 

I am so scared of confinement .... i think cos of this will just let me think of stopping at 1!  I like babies I like to have lotsa children of my own but cos of tat strict 1 month really turns me off! 

I cant eat during this month guess that I am too tired and I have lost my appetite .... Nowsaday I only have breakfast and dinner and is being like almost 1 month i skip my lunch and I have been losing weight.  A good sign but i guess is a bit unhealthy.

Many friends came by during my confinement and commented I have very pale face and lost weight.  Our good friend Shunli & Peiying ask their confinement lady to cook me a meal.  Peiying also given birth to their 2nd son on 2nd Feb congrats!  Shunli brought over the food for me in the late afternoon on 15 Feb heehee ..... is very nice i love the food!  If i can overcome the scary confinement days and CHEONG for 2nd one I will definately engage this CL!

She is gone ......... 16 Feb 08

Got a sms at 6.17am today ...... "My Mum passed away. Can you inform ur mum pls. Thanx." My Heart sank ....... and I cant believe it!!! Quickly give my cousin a call and check what happen ..... my cousin is crying and say is a sudden death ... they didnt even know what time my Ah Yi pass away .....

Hanged up the phone and quickly call my mum they already get the news from my small uncle ..... my tears start rolling down ..... I am really sad .... and ah yi have told my cousin to tell me that they will be coming over to my baby's full month celebration.  But now she is gone .......

My mum intend to keep it from me cos I cant attend the funeral as I am still under confinement .....纸是包不住火.  I feel really sad ..... my beloved ah yi is gone I still cant believe it!  Tomorrow is tong tong's full month and sad to say she have not seen yi po before ...... my husband will represent to attend the funeral ...... rest in peace my beloved ah yi.  I really miss you!

Valentine's Day and I am still in "jail" no delicious meal, no nice ambiance...... only confinement food and happy to say there is new member ha ha ha.

Woke up and watch tv programme with tong tong and had my breakfast while my mil preparing to bathe tong tong.  After everything is done she left and we both continue to enjoy the tv programme.  At about 12.30pm, I started to feel unwell ..... and I am sweating all over ..... cold sweat break out.  I feel sharp pain on my tummy ....... quickly call up my mum and tears started to drop ..... My beloved dad pick up the all and got a shocked cos I am crying ...... my dear mummy quickly take over to speak to me ..... thought I am on depression again........

She rushed down to my place immediately after knowing that I am not feeling well cos I will not be able to take care of tong tong.  Left tong tong on the bed lying beside me and I told her to sleep well cos mummy is not feeling well please don't throw tantrums ..... after awhile she really fell asleep!!!!

 My mummy ask me to give my MIL a call to come take care of tong tong while she accompany me to see doctor.  My MIL got a shocked too cos when she left my place I am perfectly ok before my mil arrive I puke and after that I feel better but mum insist of bringing me to see doctor.  Doctor say i got gastric arhhhhh I hate that cos is really painful ...luckily after the puking and the medicine I took I feel better and I am able to take care of tong tong for the rest of the day / night. 

My husband came home late cos over at his work place is very busy therefore he is unable to rush back when I am not feeling well.  He bought 1 stalk of rose for me like last year!  He left the rose on the shoe rack last year cos we are going out for dinner on V day ..... and this year he left it on the bottle sterilizer which I will be using all the time ...... I realize it only when I go sterilize the milk bottles!  Thanks dear
