3rd Day into CIO

I can tell you, it's crying and heartache based on my personal experience on CIO. Hiaz. I cried of course. Hearing my BB Seth cried for almost 45 minutes on the first day CIO is being introduced. Ok, I am using, the altered FERBERIZING method.

Chronological events recorded:

12th Jan 2006 (1st day of FERBERIZING)
10.45pm - Put BB Seth on bed, read him his Lullaby and Goodnight Cloth Book, Sang him his routine lullabies. Greeted him good night and left the room.

11.06pm - Starts of his cries.

11.15pm - I went in and pat him, soothed him and coaxed him to sleep. He struggles and refused. I picked him up and hugged him

11.30pm - Olive Tree went in to do as I did previously. We prayed in the other room, I cried and so so heartache.

11.35pm - BB Seth was too tired and slept half way on bed and baby cot. (His cot is adjoined to our bed)

1.00am - BB Seth woke up crying again.

1.15am - I coaxed him back to sleep.

3.00am - He woke up cried again, I breast-fed him a little and then unlatched him. He goes back to sleep. Too tired to protest, I guess.

5.00am - He woke up, cried and cried, I almost give in to nursing him, Olive Tree said don't give up since we have come this far. So I didn't nurse him. BB Seth cried till 6.30am, fell back to sleep.

13th Jan 2006 (2nd day of FERBERIZING)
9.00pm - Routine, read bed time story with lullabies singing.

9.05pm - Olive Tree went into room to check BB Seth and pat him.

9.35pm - BB Seth asleep. Prior to that, Olive Tree said, "Are we being very cruel?"

1.00am - BB Seth stirred in his sleep. I breast fed him a bit and he fell back to sleep.

3.00am - Stirred a little, cried and again fell back to sleep with a longer duration of cries.

5.00am - Woke up, cried and then self soothe till he went back to sleep.

6.00am - I breast fed BB Seth as Olive Tree said he'll probably be hungry and I am so engorged too!

14th Jan 2006 (3rd day of FERBERIZING)
9.30pm - Routine, read bed time story. Sang lullabies.

9.35pm - BB Seth cried with intervals. Fell asleep shortly. AMAZED!!

All these will not work if we never have prayed to Jesus! We always say a prayer before BB Seth goes to sleep. :)

Thank you, Lord for giving us the Strength to go through all these.
Seth and his single eyelid

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. (**,)...
