Growing well!

Baby Pooh went to the doc today for his jab. As of today, his weight was 8.5kg, length 65cm, head circumference 43cm. Doc took one look at his weight and declared that he was definitely growing well! According to her, that's the weight of most 1-year-olds! And not even all 1-yr-olds can reach that weight. WOW. But anyway, Baby Pooh is bound to lose some weight once he gets moving. Yeah. Once he can get his currently heavy bottom moving. His bottom is cutely heavy...helping him to learn to turn is one thing...trying to do it himself is another...his bottom is too heavy for him to turn on his own now. He usually flops back. Never mind, I know that he will do it one day! Jia You Baby Pooh!

Christmas is coming...

...the geese are getting fat. FAT!
Please to put a penny in the old man's hat.
If you haven't got a penny, a hap'ny will do.
If you haven't got a penny, a hap'ny will do.
If you haven't got a penny, God bless you!
God bless the master of this house, likewise the mistress too.
And all the little children around the table too.
Love and joy come to you, and to you your wasel too.
And we wish you, we wish you a happy new year.
And we wish you a happy new year!

Remember that carol? It is so darn funny. Us SATB singers used to enjoy this particular carol, especially with the bass FAT. haha. Really miss those days of carolling and fun.

We didn't get to meet up this Christmas. Cos we were all busy with our own lives. All grown up already. It seemed like just yesterday when we were oh so excited about our first SOC concert ever. Oh yar, and the Europe trip that *sparked* everything off. haha. And now, look at us...in no particular order...

FAT. That's Emil. And trying to be a pilot.
Married with a kid. That's yours truly.
Attached to a vegetarian. That's Chaiyen.
Doing PHD or something like that in UniSyd. That's Jingaling.
Busy executive. That's Grace.
Busy students overseas. That's Dom and Janan.
Taking part in eating yourself silly competitions. That's Ruohao.
Pianist of the future. That's Yikai.
Moolah Queen. That's Jas.
Oh Holy Night. That's Eunice.

Woah. We ARE accomplished in some way or other. And I'm PROUD of all of you guys.


Current mood: what a year!

24/7 TLC

Ok..I have time to do this today.. so I'm gonna this post chop chop. Lots of things to accomplish within this precious time given to me. Boy is at mum's place cos there's re-roofing going on in the adjacent block which makes it noisy and difficult for boy to nap. So, thank God for this precious gift of time today.


My Lao gong will be going off to Beijing this Sunday, back on Thursday. Sigh, will miss him. We only just gotten used to taking care of Titus together. So, where will mummy and Baby Pooh go? Off to stay at grandma's place! Yups! Where all the TLC and fun and laughter is. Will go straight there after church.


It's been a handful taking care of Baby Pooh. He is sooo cute and adorable!!! But when he cries.....ho ho..(nope, santa claus aint here)...he can really cry til he gets all sweaty! argh!!! Can be quite a challenge handling him when he cries. Oh God, please help us. Now that Baby Pooh is born, my prayer every morning is for God to grant me wisdom to understand him, patience to handle him, and strength to see me through each day. Without these, I honestly would not know how to last through each day. And I thank God for seeing Hubby and myself this far. Anyway, some pics of dearest Baby Pooh...

Growing...

30 days...

Boy is 30 days old. I'm now 30 days into my confinement.

Boy is growing well and drinking well. This mummy is getting quite tired. I'm so not a night person. But now gotta change. One extra person to take care of. Starting with the little things, like learning that I gotta take a nap in the day time so that I have the energy to wake up in the night to attend to Boy. Learning to do things chop chop. Babies are unpredictable, when you think they are asleep, BOOM! It hits you. And you gotta chop chop attend to them. So, whatever I do in between, I gotta assume that he will wake up any time and so, double my efficiency level. Little wonder they say that mothers are the best!

Preparing for Boy's full month dinner todayy. Small event lah. Mainly relatives and close church friends. Don't really wanna invite a whole lot of people.

This mummy 's tummy is growling now. Gonna fill it up, then attend to Boy. Tata!

Current mood: need food

Settling into a life...

Mummy is starting to settle into life. Previously, it was just eat and sleep. Now, at least I do more stuff like read the papers, go online, read books and mags. All these besides feeding Titus and sleeping. Thank God.

Boy is growing and developing well. Am now staying at mum's place together with the whole brood. Thank God! More people to help take care of boy when he needs it. More people to give him the attention he wants too! All of us, boy included, are thankful for the company.

Looking forward to spending more time with my precious. Yesterday played the piano for him during his waking hour. Played some Mozart and Bach, and my intelligent boy attempted to conduct mummy with his little hands! After which I played his fav worship songs... Amazing grace, Jesus loves me this I know, How great is our God, and He's the Lord of the Sunshine. And my precious fell asleep just like that. Awww...So sweet!!!

Ok...I gotta go eat my lunch before he awakes.. tata for now!

Circumcision

Baby Titus had his circumcision yesterday. He was 8 days old. We did it in accordance with the bible.

So anyway, it was a long day. Brought him to the clinic early in the morning. Took all my will power in managing time properly that morning so that we won't be late. Appt at 9am!!! Thank God we were there on time. Did the admin stuff, and brought Titus into the operating theatre. We had a very surgeon..Dr Gong. Cute surname! And he looked hip for his age! His build reminds me of the big guy in Every Loves Raymond. He had an interesting little ponytail. haha. Continuing on. I brought Titus into the operating theatre; he was sleeping peacefully. Then i went outside to wait together with my mum. Oh gosh, a while later we heard him yelling in pain! Apparently he was given a local anesthetic. So he hurt like anything. Poor guy.

After the operation we took him back and the poor guy was still pretty much shaken by the process. We were told that he peed over the operating table. Carried him real close to keep him safe and secure and breast fed him at the clinic.

Brought him home to Mt Faber to rest as mum brought me for my long-awaited hair wash!!!Yesh!!!!! Finally could wash my hair!!!!! Thanks mum!!! After 1 freaking wk of grime and dirt in my hair, the wash was great!

Felt a little sad at leaving Mt Faber to return home to where MIL was. Sigh. But what to do. Right now, I'm just counting down to the day she will leave. There's 18 days left. Jia You!! Only need to tahan her presence for 18 more days! After which we will stay at Mt Faber for abt 2 wks.

I'm so looking forward to ticking off the days on my calender, seeing the numbers diminish, counting down to the day she will leave. God please grant me strength!
