Alone with my lil guy

Continue from previous post:


Day 2: DH tried to hung around and help with our lil guy in the morning after that it was just the both of us. He was not too happy I think he knows is just boring mummy. Popo is no where to be found!!@_@ he was pretty whiny. I think he's not stimulated enough hence he was not that tired and didn't nap much at all. I did take him out to get some groceries but that was not enough to make him tired apparently. In the evening as I was about to take him for a walk his godma got home and joined us for our evening stroll. He managed to nap bout 30mins during our 1.5hrs walk when we got home daddy was home so we pretty much entertain him from then! Phew! Thank god!


Day 3: since it was a Saturday and daddy didn't have to go work he can entertain his lil guy. DH helped feed him as even managed to put him down for a nap ( he normally ends up playing with him and half an hr later I'm left to put a cranky boy to take his nap!)he slept for two hours then we headed to the woodlands to walk around at their pavilion and the mall. After that we went for dinner with aunt L and uncle R. We went to furrs buffet because the first time I went there it was really good but Saturday was such a dissapointment! Doubt I'll ever go there again. Our lil man was bored waiting for us and was no very happy. Luckily I found a bake sweet potato and was able to give him that since I've already introduced sweet potato to him. Got home at about 6ish daddy bath him(another achievement of daddy to bath him alone) while I took my bath quick. I was so tired from the walking I went to bed with lil man at 8pm!! Felt good though :)


Day 4: Once again daddy was here to help since it was Sunday! DH played with him in the morning, fed him and put him down for his naps. After that we took a quick run to the grocery stores to get some vegetables then came home. DH put him down again for his nap and proceeded to watch his football while I made some puree spinach. DH had to sleep in another room because he had to leave at 5am for work.


Day 5: I had to deal with my lil guy ALL day!! It was exhausting!! DH had to leave early for work. We went to my old work place to see my ex co worker then came home. I believe that my lil man gets bored really quickly and needs more stimulation to make him tired and not so bored! DH didn't get home till much later and by the time DH got home to play with him for a little while he was already cranky and wanting to go to bed.




 Going for a walk 

Day 6: DH once again had to leave early! I took him out to the grocery store to get a turkey for thanksgiving. We went out for 2 hours and when we got home he only napped for 30 minutes!! Sometimes he can nap longer and sometimes he just takes quick nap. Thankfully DH came home at a decent time that day. We went for  a walk in the evening but quick came home because I thought it was relatively warm and did not bundle my lil guy up and told DH no need to wear long pants etc..Needless to say we were all cold!!Came home DH showered while I fed and bath my lil guy. Then DH played with him while I shower and we ate quick. Bed time!!


Day 7: We hung around the house because traffic is just crazy! Everyone is either shopping last minute for thanksgiving or going out of town. DH didn't want me to be driving around.


Day 8: Thanksgiving Day!! DH was home so he could entertain him while I cooked. (Will blog about out thanksgiving day later)


I'm slowly getting the hang of just the both of us. I wanted to take him to the little gym but unfortunately the schedule clashes with his nap time and is thanksgiving week so they are close a few days. I am slowly trying to manage my time more like putting him on the bjorn while I vacuum and do laundry, Mopping and cleaning while he's napping etc...I'm getting pretty proud of myself!!

Alone with my lil guy

Ever since my lil guy was born I've always had help taking care of him. In the hospital it was hubby, dr's and nurses. When we came home it was hubby and my parents. 


My mom's been here with me for more than 5 months now and the last time she saw my sis it was just a few days when she came down to see us in July. I think it would only be fair for my mom to go over to spend some thanksgiving and some time with my sister before she goes back to Malaysia. I mean she came here for so long I cannot be so selfish have her all to myself. 


So we decided that my mom should hang out with my sis for two weeks. Mom got her plane tickets last month to prevent needing to pay the price increase for thanksgiving travel. My mom's flight was on wed (11/16). On Tuesday I found out I had this. Great! I'm suppose to rest a lot etc but my mom will be gone the next day. There was no way we were going to change her plane ticket because it will be too troublesome and it will cost to change her ticket. 


Wednesday morning we all took my mom to the airport. Then when we got back hubby had to go to work. I basically dealt with my lil the rest of the afternoon. Not that bad but was a little tired and thankfully hubby came home pretty earlier so he help feed and bath our lil guy then I put him to bed. Phew! Not too bad...survived!


The next day we got up and hubby played with him for a little while and hung around to do some work. Then I put him down for his first nap which went pretty good. After that it was pretty bad. He refused to nap and all day long he only managed to take 2 hrs nap! I know he can do better than that because he's been getting at least 2.5-4 hrs nap in the past two weeks! I tried to rest as much as I can but of course dealing with a cranky baby that refuse to nap and three dogs was almost impossible. I tried going for a walk with him hoping that he will fall asleep but he would not. Well by 5ish he was cranky and getting tired. I quickly fed and bath him. He went to bed at 7pm! After he went to bed only I was able to do other stuff. 


Okay! I survived..Survived my first 24hrs with him. I am not sure if I'm just not entertaining enough for him that's why he's not that tired or he just misses his popo (grandma)..Hubby thinks he misses popo...


I have 13 more days to go...wish me luck!!!

Dealing with mastitis

Last month when I was pumping I found quite a bit of blood clot in my milk plus I think my milk duct was plugged. Two nights ago when the lil guy would nurse my left boob my nipple would hurt really bad. I assume cause he was yanking and pulling my nipple. Then the bottom of my boob hurts and was hard. I felt like I had a fever and I was not feeling well at all.


I called my ob's office when I didn't feel better at all after trying applying hot compress, hot showers and pump. She suggested I continue doing what I'm doing and see if it gets better. This morning when I woke up I still felt the same. I called my dr.'s office again and they suggested I go in to see them.


Unfortunately today has to be the day where it would rain cats and dogs! I was miserable and I could not be away from home long because I didn't plan to be out at all hence I didn't pump any milk or defrost any milk from the freezer. I was afraid that my lil would want some milk when he got up from his nap thankfully everything was alright when I got back. (I did have about 2 oz of milk in the fridge so I told mum if she has too she can give him a "snack" first)


Anyway I've been trying to be really careful but yet I still have an infection! sigh! Hopefully I'll be better really soon.

Down with a cold

I currently have the cold and I'm really upset! I am hoping that I won't get the lil monster sick! It will be difficult for the poor guy to tell me if he's not feeling comfortable so I'm really hoping that he has high immune system and not get sick from both DH and me.

Siapa makan chili dia rasa pedas

I truly believe in this title! I truly believe that we should be responsible with our own actions or words. I for starters are responsible with my actions. I am a person of my words. I truly hate and cannot stand those people who do not keep to their words.


This is also another reason why I have a new "home". Some orang makan chili and rasa pedas. The think I don't understand is if you know you can't tahan pedas at all don't even makan chili. You keep coming back to makan the chili so what do you expect? You think one day you makan it and it won't be pedas?

What I'm trying to say is if you want to intrude into other people's home do not complain about anything in that house. You intruded into other people's home and were not invited at all so I don't know what makes you think you can complain. Basically you intrude in my home and you want to complain about my home!


DH mention that I should get my own domain but I'm not sure about that yet. I'm a little tempted but I want to see how discipline I am in updating my blogs first.


Hopefully the intruder would not intrude this place. If you want to come and visit me then come but do not make any remarks or boo boo about how I have my home because I really don't care what you think! Is my home and I will and can do what I want!!

Lil monster; mummy, daddy, gong gong, popo and yi yi so very proud of you although you were not feeling well you still got the energy to roll over so mummy can take a video for daddy, gong gong and yi yi to see. :)
