Scratchy Seth

Darling Seth has been so fidgety lately. PD told us that Seth's constant scratching of head is a bad habit, not that his scalp is itchy. In order to prevent him from scratching, I would hold his arms whenever he's asleep. However, when it comes to the nights, I am not able to do that since we are totally knock out till the time Seth makes noises then I will wake up and breast feed him.

Last night, I tried to restrain him from his habit again. It was a futile effort. Woke up at 2.30am to feed him, then saw his dried and flaky cradle cap, I got up and get the olive oil to apply on his scalp and his forehead. His scratching got me so concern that i held his arms and drift into sleep but woke up when i felt his arms shifting upwards again. Were persistence but end up, at 4.30am, I gave up totally and grumbled to Olive Tree that I did not sleep well. Made my silent prayer to Jesus and cast the worries to HIM because only Jesus makes all things well and good! Then I went back to have my much needed rest.

He has a new buddy, Scooby Doo(SD). Olive Tree got him the Scooby so that he can hug SD to sleep. Since now, Seth has to sleep on one side to prevent his back from getting redden as he sweats. However, the little prince is still in the stage of getting to know SD. Once SD is near his palms, he would stuff SD into his mouth! Poor SD, got itself all wet....

So now, the preventive measure for BB Seth scratching habit, is to put on mittens so that he would not scratch his scalp till it bleeds. Really no kidding, it practically bleed whenever he scratches. Pains our hearts man!

top of the M

Captured on the night when we had our very first dining experience at Top of the M . The occasion: celebrate Jon's Birthday. It's Seth very first experience, but obviously to him, it's just like any kind of dinner. As for me, I've to wait for 3 decades to be able to have such an experience! bwhaahhaha....what a funny thought. The restaurant has such a quiet ambience and at certain times, Seth was bubbling so loudly that we were so embarrassed. The waiters and waitresses were so nice to come over and play with Seth. One even offered chocolate truffles filled with mint ice cream for Seth! Too bad, my darling son don't know how to appreciate and those went into our tummies instead. (**,) You can see he enjoyed himself loads. Playing and being entertained. He was even entertained by the live strings group (or whatever you call that) with "You are my sunshine" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars". That amazed him! We had a dinner set for 4 of us. Seth ...

Long Time No See/Hear

Yes, neglected the updates of Seth, what's going around at home, at work. Quite a fair bit has happened. Close friends would have known and I really thank God for faithful friends and sisters whom comforted and encouraged me during the time of trial. The episode starts off when I start falling sick frequently, worse came after March 18th, when I had a period of high for a week! That's terrible, felt aching, fever just simply to go away and not well to assume anything. Being out of office for a week proved to be disastrous I guess. Till date, I still have 322 mails not read in my mailbox! HA! The body has taken a toll, mentally, i am weak. Got to admit it, maybe the stress at work wasn't for me. I went back last week to complete outstanding tasks, (too many!!!!) and also trying to cope with so much requests from customers, traveling around, delivering documents. But I wasn't well yet, had diarrhea and vomit so nightly since last Wed till Friday. Boss, was picking on sma...

What have I been doing?

Yes, I've been really busy. How did all these started, the digi SB, the addiction, the hunger for more ideas and all this equivalent to more time spent in front of my lappy. (I shall give my lappy a name....Let's just call it MoS) How does it sound? Aiya, anyway, it's my lappy, how I wanna name it, my prerogative. BB Seth was doing CIO training for more than a week already. He is still crying in the nights, we kinda of give up letting him cry in the wee hours and I continue to give him 1-2 times feeds. SO much of crying, that his double eyelids for his left eye popped out already. Poor guy. The routine now is, he'll cry a bit till he dozed off at 9-9.30pm. So, we'll have free time to do what we need to. (chores seems to be the utmost priority) However, I've been such an addiction to the board and SB(Scrap-booking) , I didn't do much and poor Olive Tree got to do it. Anyway, I did sweeping and mopping yesterday and have contributed to the house chores. (**,)...
