Pearly Whites!
Baby Pooh's pearly whites are beginning to grow and show!! Wow! I was giving him his evening face wash cum mouth wipe this evening when I discovered it! And Mummy Pooh is the first person to encounter this amazing discovery! So exciting!
Anyway, was giving Baby Pooh his usual gum wipe when I felt something in the way...something kinda pokey. And it was just right in the centre, right where his first teeth would grow. So, got Baby Pooh to move his tongue, and, lo and behold, there were Baby Pooh's beautiful teeth just starting to show! Not fully there yet, but just enough to see the exsistence of 2 gorgeous teeth! Boy, was I excited! So was Baby Pooh! Probably he was so glad that this Mummy finally knew what was bothering him the past few weeks. Praise the Lord that Baby Pooh is developing well!
Current mood: Excited
Current music: Dunno! any song out there about teeth?

Mummy Pooh sick...
This Mummy has not been feeling well since last Friday...the day before V Day. And the weather being so dry and hazy didn't quite help. Began with a running nose when I attended Break Our. Then a fever developed on saturday (V day!). Didn't attend church as i needed rest. But thank God, the fever subsided and I felt very much better after that. Now, it's just my nose. Blocked most of the time. So blocked that yesterday, when Boy pooed into his diapers, i didn't smell a thing until i saw it. Haha. That's how blocked my nose was. So today, thank God that I managed to "catch" him in time to do his big business...otherwise he would be soooo uncomfortable as I can't really smell a thing.
Anyway, need to rest now.. Daddy Pooh is playing with the Baby. I'll now have some time to myself.
Current mood: TIRED!!!!

4 months old and thanksgiving!
Baby Pooh is 4 months old today by date. I had a bittersweet experience this morning. Well, some background info... Some months back, he decided that latching on was tedious as he could not get his milk properly. And i was feeling quite disappointed too. So, to ensure that he gets his supply of breast milk, i have been expressing. So, his meals consist of expressed milk in a bottle plus a top up of formula if necessary. I was a bit disappointed at first cos of the lack of latching on and the lack of bonding thru direct breast feeding. But i'm used to bottle feeding him now!
So anyway, back to this morning. I was giving him his usual morning feed of expressed milk plus the top up. Expressed milk first. Don't want to waste breast milk, so gotta give that first. I cradled him as i usually did to bottle feed him. Then, this was the touching bit. My Baby Pooh gradually started turning his head, adjusting his own position himself. I wondered what he was up to at first. I thought he was in a playful mood and wanted to play instead of drink. But i just remained there, with the bottle still in his mouth. Well, eventually, he ended up in the "breast feeding" position, with his head facing where it would be if I were directly breast feeding him!
I was soooooo touched!!! At the point in time, a crazy idea shot thru my head. Should i just direct breast feed him now???? and then give the top up if he wants it? But, nah, I didn't want to screw up his feeding again, just when we are so nicely on track. But it was a warm fuzzy feeling, knowing that my Baby still wants the breast.
Update about his night feeding... Last night was amazing. Mum sent him back in the evening at around 6.30pm. He was due for his feed, so we fed him at 6.45pm the "pump of the day" which was 4oz. I insisted on NO top up feed cos it was a bit early for him to go sleep. He drank and stayed awake to play and talk to Daddy Pooh. It was heart warming to see them together. Then Daddy and Mummy had dinner, with Baby Pooh watching on. He grew impatient towards the end as it was quite warm for him, staying in his pram in the kitchen. I carried him out while Daddy finished his dinner, after which Daddy took care of him while this Mummy finished her dinner and WASHED THE DISHES. smart of daddy... Eventually, he wanted more milk and we gave it to him at 8.45pm. He drank 1.5oz and fell asleep.......all the way til 4am!!!!! BEST!!!!! Thank God! We were both so amazed! Thank you Jesus! Baby Pooh had a good sleep! He had 4.5oz at 4am, went to bed, and woke up almost 8am. Indeed God is good, helping Baby Pooh to have a good night's rest. Thanks be to God!

Baby Pooh's new skill!
Baby Pooh has acquired a new skill! When place in his cot, you can find that his whole being would have shifted 90 degrees! In other words, he would end up in a new position perpendicular to his original position. Woohoo! Was to excited to take any pics when i saw that this morning cos his feet were sooooo sticking out of the cot as a result of his new position. Haha. My main concern at the time was to readjust him cos didn't want anything to happen to his delicate feet.
He also has new sounds now! From his usual vowel sounds and wet razzing sounds, his vowel sounds now include "oo" and "oh". So cool! Talky talky talk!!!
Current mood: excited...but need to sleep soon...
