My life is kinda like a routine nowadays....
Wake up at 12+ 1pm ( before you wahhh in envy, pls read on first) , go out and see thadthad and mum will update me whether he pooped and his last fed..
Wash up, have brekie...either Bf thad or pump out...get ready to bathe then mum will prepare lunch..
go online to fb, chat with fiona and update blog...feed thadthad and change his diaper...take a short nap if the litle one permits...( yest he was making noise every 15mins, duno for what!!)
Watched tv from 7pm to 10pm...feed thadthad, change diaper...play with him..get ready for bed...
and now, the tiring thing hapens...he will cry ard 3-4am for a feed...then at 7+am for another feed and then at 9+am...but by then my mum will have woken up and she will take over my shift. Im always very happy when she walks into my room and take thadthad out..haha..so mean..then i will sleep all the way til noon..=p
So exhausted today. Thadthad vomitted out milk twice last nite, thus i need to change his clothes and burp him again...Need to pray for more patience in burping him..Smth at 4am, when my eyes are like half open, i get v frustrated when he dun burp after 'taping' him for more than 5mins...haiz...
yep, thats motherhood...am i boring/frightening u? haha...but its also a joy to see his funny funny actions on a daily basis..=)
ok, tink its time for my nap time le...tata..=p

Asked Bb upfront whether we are doing anything special next mon...he say that he tried to apply leave but was too late as the schedule is already out..*boohoohoo* so he suggested dinner...but knowing how busy and crazy his mondays can get, i suggested sunday instead...at least we can go out for the whole day...and he say ok...so, i got myself a date *FINALLY* this sunday..hee...
oh, btw, we will be leaving little T at home...Shhhhh.....
Musing over whether i shd get a Kate Spade Diaper Bag..the one that Thomson Medical gave is lime green in color and when u bring to Thomson for check ups, you a throw a stone, sure hit someone with the same bag..haiz...

Wanted
Professional baby carrier
-Must be able to tahan Little T's tantrums of late
-Must be able to have the patience to soothe him to sleep
-Must be alert enuff to take care of him in the wee hrs of the day. note-between 12-2am
So far his grandma and me have been taking turns to be the above...last nite has been a torture..he didnt want to sleep nm...he wans to be carried!! and whenever i placed him down, he screamed his head off..and when i carry him in frustration, he will keep quiet and give me his innocent face and that o look of his and yawned sweetly in my arms...what a sweet charmer...-_-
thats explain why nowadays i sleep til 12-1pm in the day...and thats why im still in bed when Ms Seah called me...eh, why u nv call back huh...=p
oh, i was having this fantastic dream that bb and me were packing our luggage to go to Taipei. I still rem typing in B's credit card online to book the tickets.hee...while choosing my clothes halfway, i was woken up by the opening of my room door...my mum walked in with little T...*blearh*
This shows how much i want to go out, to travel,( im green w envy over Angel's travel plans for the year!) to go shopping ( i tink im the only one who havent visited the new make up store-sephora in taka) etc...kaoz...my eyesbrows are so need of a trimming! =(
but i have to say, i have cheated a bit.. i went to rivervale plaza and compasspoint last week. Thank God my mum isnt so strict on confinement rules..i get to bathe and wash hair everyday and she allows me to go out.hee...aniwae, to me, i dun really believe those 'rules' as well..if u notice, they differ among races and nationalities...so i guess its really up to u, whether u wan to believe and follow all these...of cos, many say that-when u grow old then u know blah blah...but its quite common for old ppl to have aches etc...so aiya...see how la...=p
Next mon will be our 1st yr marriage anniversary. How time flies...but doubt we will be doing anything special..cos the hubby is so busy at wrk.sobz...

Just another day being a mummy...
Little T kept crying just now...and when his grandma carried him, he stopped and stared and looked ard..haiz...is he gg to be lydat now? Some days, its really a challenge looking after him, cos we duno what he want...but his eyes are getting bigger..ha..looking ard..ma chiam he's recognising the place...
Just now when i carried him past my cupboard full of toys, he stared at them with his eyes wide open and his mouth in the O shape again. Ha..he must be amazed at the no of toys i left for him..hee...
Aniwae, to pacify him, i decided to feed him again ( his last feed was just an hr and a half!). Surprisingly, he took the bottle like theres no tml, but did not finish it up. Haiz...changed diaper again..and now, little T is finally satisfied and quiet in his play pen. Phew...
Watching the liverpool Vs Aston Villa match and my heart cldnt sink much lower...they played so well...now only 52 mins, and liverpool is leading with 4 goals to nil...haiz haiz haiz...Man Utd can feel the heat..one more loss and draw and liverpool will be the champ..sigh sigh sigh...hope that Man Utd can come back stronger...
as i mentioned in my cbox, little T screamed his head in frustration when liverpool scored the 1st goal. Was talking to b over the phone and he oso screamed...but in estasy..can u imagine..my ears almost went deaf at that moment.-_-

Sad sad...
haiz...Man Utd just lost a chance of getting a hold of being the EPL champ..cant believe 2 got sent off.....2 leh! didnt manage to see the replay of why rooney was sent off...haiz haiz haiz...now hoping the liverpool WILL LOSE tml!!!!
2 times i placed little T outside while i was watching the match and twice Man Utd performed badly.Hmm...maybe i shall place him back in my room the next round. Haiz...
Still trying to get used to waking up at nite to feed him and change his diapers...hate having disturbed sleep...but i guess its part of the whole package. Its 1am now and little T is still very awake but his grandparents are happily entertaining him. Ha...He's getting quite naughty this 2 days-crying on a whim and wanting ppl to carry him. Attention seeker! =p
~Hope i wun be too overwhelmed by worries~
~Hope that the misunderstandings will just stop~

I salute mothers who never take epidural during childbirth...
Im back...not back back, but trying to resume my normal life as little as i can..ok, this shall be a rather long blog..wana capture my feelings thruout the whole experience of it all and let little T know that its not easy bringing him in the world!!! =p
Here how it all started...
7th Mar
Went for my usual checkup with the gynae..Not really gd news-the water where xbb is residing in ( yang shui) is quite low and this is quite dangerous as the baby will not have any nutrients. She asked me to come back again on Wed and if the level dropped again, she will have to induce labour for me. *glup*
11th Mar ( 1st day of my maternity leave btw) and 12th Mar
Appt was 8.30am..bb took leave to accompany me to see the gynae. Had a hard time waking him up. I hardly cld sleep! was excited yet scared yet nervous at the same time..Gynae checked and confirmed that the water level has indeed dropped and thus i will need to be induced into labour. A tablet was inserted in me and i was sent home to get ready and to come back at noon. Oh no, im going to be a mother today!! Went to market to grab a quick lunch then head back home to shower, get my bag and prepare some stuff for b to bring to my mum's plc after that. One gd thing abt this is that i had time to prepare and mentally gear myself for the whole thing, unlike some whose water bag just burst or the contractions just came etc.
Felt a bit of contractions when i went back at noon, but it was still bearable..Gynae said that i cld check into the labour ward le..*glupglup* Its happening! Got 'strung up' in the machines to monitor my contractions and xbb's heartbeat and med was fed into me via a tube. And the waiting game begins. Gynae said that if everything goes as plan, xbb will be out tonite, ard 10pm..B and me started smsing our frens and families to inform them. Actually wanted to attend Alex and Kim's wedding but cldnt as well..=( Hours past...still not dilated as according to plan...gynae advised that likely to be early the next morn..ard 2am..sigh..
B dabaoed dinner and tempted me with the waft of his fried rice. Hmm..i only cld have sandwiches! Watched the Ninja variety show on channel 5 and still joked abt how silly this show is. Contractions came and go, more intense each time. Still can tahan..no epi needed..=)
at 9pm, suddenly, the contractions were so intense! once it came, i just gripped the side of the bed and moaned, my whole body shaking thruout and tears just welled in my eyes..( not trying to scare those who havent give birth, but its really an experience which i think all mothers wannabes shd exp! Its a ironic wonderful exp) I quickly told the nurse that i wanted epi. the dr only came abt 45mins later cos he's not stationed at the hospital. By then, i was so in pain that no words can describe it..the dr came and injected the epi into my pain. That was also painful but i tell u, after that, my legs just went numb and there's no pain at all! At ard 12+ am, the nurse came in and checked and told me she est ard 5/6am that the baby will come out...argh..wait again! she said that the xbb's heartbeat is v gd, maybe he cant bear to leave my womb...Hmm...
Aniwae, b and me prepped to watch the Man Utd and Champ League match at 2am, when suddenly the nurse came in for another check and told me that im fully dilated and he's ready to come out! Wah..he wants to catch the match as well! Gynae came soon after and taught me how to move..and to cut the whole thing short, Forceps was used to pull xbb out as i cant seem to feel my legs to push him out and his heartbeat was quite irregular then. We later found out that his unbilical cord was ard his neck! So scary and thank God, everything was ok..and thats how Thaddaeus Chan Yu Hung aka Little T met the world at 12th March, 0233hrs...=)
Still adapting to having a baby at home. the lack of sleep, the constant worry whether he's alright, the pain of the stitches etc...but i guess its a matter of time and i really thank God for what He have done thruout the whole pregnancy...Thanks also to Bb, family and frens for their constant support, gifts, visit to the hospital and my house and smses...They really kept my sanity on. =)
Note to self~still need to shed the 12kg of preg weight!!

Its been a while since i blogged...act wanted to blog abt a few events during the week, but i guess when fatigue sets in, its hard to resist the bed.
1st thing 1st..congrats to Man Utd for winning the Carling cup last weekend! I was so afraid for them, cos their starting 11 were mostly newbies aka lesser experienced players. I nv even seen the goalie b4 and i was thinking..oh no oh no....this is the finals! What is ferguson thinking?? But i guess the team really surprises you at times. Though they nv scored any goals, they also managed not to concede any..thus a penalty shoot out, which almost made my heart stop! But the new goalie ( i tink his name is foster) proved to be a hero, by saving the 1st shot! And u know the ending...2 down, 3 more cups ( EPL, FA cup and champ league) to go..
They will have a diff week ahead...jia you!!
Wrk continues to be very busy and i was rather swamped this week due to the several events gg on and that 1 of my coll was on leave for 2 days..nonetheless, God was good...No major disasters happened and we managed to hire a temp to cover me when im away. It was my 1st time interviewing candidates and i was quite nervous! Ha..but it was fun after i get the hang of it..=p
Met Jan and kc to watched Marley and Me on Thursday. Liked the show! though the ending was quite sad at the end..there was a scene where Jennifer Anniston was busy handling her 2 kids while marley the dog was 'fooling' ard and she looked tired, frustrated and was quarreling with her hubby...b and me looked at each other at the same time..will this happen to us next time? Haiz...
