Not in the right frame of mind

Again, just manage to make BB seth to sleep. He is so darn tired. Why? Because he has not really sleep a wink today. He slept half an hour, woke up. Breast-fed him, and then never sleep. The pattern goes on and on since 11am till now. He sure is "difficult" today. Hiaz. He was "reprimanded" by me just now. As I breast-fed him, he will be so tired and doze off, thus "puut" out my nipple. When he realised my nipple not in his mouth all of a sudden, he would cry in dissatisfaction. Aiyo. We dingdong many times of this today that I can't take it, and told him off! ("<) Am I a bad mommy? Kind of. Since so young, I reprimanded him. Not in a fantastic mood too, as Olive Tree going to come home late, and Jon, so last minute, said he can't pick mom up to send her home, therefore, mom has to take the train back home! What the heck la. That is to say, mom going back early, I'll be home alone. I don't mind the home alone but I miss my mom bein

It seems never enough

Scratch and scratch my head....it seems never enough rest for Olive Tree. I can't fathom why. I have told him before that he requires at least 9 hours of sleep so that he will not be so blur sotong. He still argued with me that he only sleeps less than 7 hours a day. Ok, so I've tried and tested. Last night, I was the one that pat BB Seth to sleep, and when the feeding time comes, I took BB Seth out from rocker and breast-fed him. Never a time I woke Olive Tree up. He was sleeping throughout. He slept soundly. I changed the diapers. Olive Tree woke up at around 5.30am, to see me breast-fed BB Seth and then he went back to take a nap before he actually woke up at 7am to prepare to go to work. Since he started to sleep around 11pm last night, let's say that is the latest, normally he sleeps at 10pm, he would have clocked 8 hours of sleep. That's the sufficient sleep an adult can get. I read a report before, that as you grow older, you tend to sleep lesser. Not very true

As I watched him grows

He was small when I first see him As I hold him for the first time in my hands I have nothing on my mind but just to protect him with my life He is going to be my precious little guy He is going to be fed at my bosom for as long as God bless mine I would watch his sparkling eyes move with motion I would touch his little hands with all my love Watching him grows everyday how his face and built has change Knowing that he is growing so well, with Jesus's love and care Seeing him developing his personality even at such a tender age It's real amazement how our Daddy gives us a wonderful child My Blessed Champion, Seth Benjamin Goh our priceless gift from Daddy GOD

Seeing Seth's 1st Jab

Feeling pretty excited about this morning as it's BB Seth's 1st Jab, which we are to witness. Though he has taken jab in the hospital, this would be the very 1st time we are sending him to the pediatrician for his jab. It seems that our little prince knows today is his outing day, he woke up at 0715hrs for his feed and was awake, getting ready for his daily royal bath, (he usually bath around 0930-1000hrs). So it was really a blessing that we get to clean him up for his outing day. By the time we are all ready to go out, it was already 15 minutes to 0900hrs, which suppose to be our appointment with the pediatrician. We were caught in a jam along CTE, nothing new, as the morning traffic along CTE is always so packed, be it weekdays or weekends. Today was my gynae's appointment at ACJ Clinic too. We've bought cakes for Dr Adrian, the other 2 pretty gynaes and the nurses in the clinic. Hope they like the small token. We expected crowds at the Pediatrician and ACJ Clinic, s

All the rah rah

This past 2 weeks have been very rainy. Weather as such, to me, is very good!! As I am doing my confinement, so at least it's not so super duper hot in the afternoons and I can nap well with BB Seth without sweating so much. Today marks the last day of my confinement!! Hooray!! Honestly I don't totally drag the confinement period. I enjoyed having my mom around and her cooking. I don't know how I can cope if she is going back. Taking care of BB Seth is ok, just that I am very emotional type. So if my mom goes home, I would be so darn emotional that I would cry. Funny right? Majority of my friends told me, "good luck for your confinement, I sympathize you while you are in confinement." But it isn't that bad after all when I've been through. Sunday, 17th July, was Seth's Full Month Celebration. Expected 120 guests. But end up only 90 guests came! I wasn't very pleased. Basically Olive Tree and I have planned to just invite very close friends and rel

Sometimes I feel like breaking down

It's so fragile, our feelings, our thoughts. Handling a baby is not an easy feat. Baby pose you surprises everyday. Sometimes, they make you laugh with joy, make you angry with a tingling of smiles, make you cry when you don't know what you do, can really pacify them. Today, my BB Seth, has some temperament. He was bathed and as usual, put in the rocker to enjoy his stretching moments. Normally, he would feel tired at about 10 plus, so I would pat him to sleep and he will sleep till 12-1pm, for his next feed. However, today, he wasn't going to sleep. He was tired, could judge by his yawning. I pat him, soothe him, but nothing pleases him. End up, I gave him the pacifier. He took it pretty well. He was about to doze off, I plucked out the pacifier, he woke up crying! Hiaz! I really don't know if this helps. But if he continues to be so, pacifier not in his mouth, he wakes up crying, future we are going to have a tough time getting him to sleep. So, mom took over BB Seth.

Count my blessings

Today marks the 3rd week since BB Seth was born. It was a tremendous experience to have seen my little darling grows. Each day, he seems to be changing, in appearance, size....ha! Is it my imagination?! Guess not. Nobody better know her little baby then mummy herself, right? Really praises to our Sweet Daddy in heaven, for all his blessings. Olive Tree and my prayers are answered, as our BB Seth grows well, weans well and he is so handsome. When we talked to BB Seth, he would be looking at you, seemingly, knowing what you are saying. He loves to listen. BB Seth has another cute expression. Whenever he stretches himself, he would make those loud "urrgh, ehhh" sound. My Olive Tree said that it sounded like the little piggy he used to have in the kampong days. HA!! I have to admit BB Seth is very vocal, despite his young age. This weekend, we'll be celebrating his full month. We have invited guests of 110! Amazing! We don't know how the crowd is going to squeeze into ou

Our Birth Story, Seth Benjamin Goh, born 21st June 2005, 1657hrs

Our Blessed BB Seth Benjamin Goh's EDD Ticker Seeing the Ultrasound Scan of Seth Benjamin Goh 7.15am Woke up, feeling cramps in lower adomen. Think it's time!! (">) Kinda expected something to happen this morning. Woke up Olive Tree, telling him to get ready. He was excited. But I ask him don't have to rush. Still have time. So Olive Tree bathed first, feed the dog and the fish. I took my own sweet time to have a clean bath. Who knows when I would be able to clean myself up again, right? Took our breakfast, and said our daily prayers and blessings from our Sweet Daddy. (">) 9.00am Reached ACJ Clinic. The nurses were so sweet, they asked me if the contractions were intense yet, I said ok, as I don't feel that uncomfortable. So they said I might not deliver on 21st June. But I said I don't want to wait any longer, today shall be the day we will see our darling BB Seth! So while waiting for Dr. Adrian Tan to arrive in clinic, the nurses were shari
