Who Says Mummy becomes dumber?

Read from an article,

"During pregnancy, learning and memory skills improve dramatically, say researchers, reversing the popular myth that it is a time of dumbing down. Key brain areas also alter in size; changes that can persist for decades. Far from transforming mothers into weakened emotional wrecks who lose car keys and drop in IQ, it turns out having children makes them cleverer. It's just hard to spot thanks to all that lost sleep."

Read about it.

Isn't it amazing to be cleverer by just giving birth. HA! I thought somehow, after giving birth, mothers tends to get absent minded. Or purely we try to shut our minds off from the things around us. Hmmm..... So that we concentrate on our darlings.

Talking about our darlings, BB Seth was erratic last night. Hiaz. I put him to bed at 9.30pm. Did the usual routine and he slept, after Olive Tree went in to pat him. Since Olive Tree said his darling boy will sleep after the pat. Ok lor, I let him be. Who knows, at 10.30pm, BB Seth woke up and cried. Thinking that he probably is hungry since I fed him at 8pm, I gave him his last feed. I don't know if it's a mistake to have breast fed him. Cause after that, he woke up every 1.5-2 hrs again!? Hiaz....I am draining. I had a running nose and getting on my nerves. Trying to have a good rest so the flu will get away. With BB Seth constant waking moments. I tak boleh tahan! I went to the other room and hide from him when he woke up at 1 am. He cried for 15-20 minutes then fell asleep with Olive Tree patting again.

He's very whining today. Whole day whine here and there. URRRGH! But still, he is our darling boy. I fed him 2 meals today. First meal being unsuccessful as he refused the brown rice cooked with soup made from carrots and potatoes. Actually the taste wasn't as bad. I think he dislikes the texture of the brown rice.
Second meal was his favourite, pumpkin. He finished it instantly, though with tiredness in him. Makes me happy.

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.

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. (**,)...
