Moving

Today we moved into our new flat formally. We will stay here for a night and return to my in-laws place and stay until bb is slightly older so that we can bring him home every night.

Angry Boy

Jerold is quite impatient. He will cry for his milk very loudly until someones carry him and put the bottle into his mouth. These days he is also fond of crying to get people attention and also to carry him to sleep.

Read from the Internet that we have to be 忍心 and let him cry, so that he will know crying does not help. Tried doing that just now, but he cried until his whole face was red and in the end we carried him. Sigh. We are too soft hearted.

Looking after a infant is not easy, it is a 24 hours job. Don't know how my MIL will cope with him when I return back to work next month. Hopefully Jerold will be a good boy. In the meanwhile, we will try not to carry him the minute he cries. *cross my fingers*

Operation

Right now I am waiting in the hospital for Jerold to finish his operation. It would be finished in another half hour time. He had a hernia problem in his left groin area which means there is a hole in the wall of his abdomen and it causes the intestines to fall through that hole.

We discovered on Wednesday when we saw there is a swelling on his left groin area. Went to consult a GP and infant doctor and confirm is a hernia. So bb is now inside having the hole closed up.

He was crying badly while waiting to go into the operating theatre as he need to fast for 6 hours. Seeing him like that, my heartache. Me being a silly mum cried even though it is just a minor operation and bb will be fine after it. I just feel bad for him having to go through all these pain when he is barely 2 months old.

Update @ 4pm : Jerold is back home now, sleeping after his milk feed. When he came out of the operating theatre, his lips turned slight black from crying too much. At that moment, my heart went all soft and tears kept flowing down my cheeks. He continued crying on and off for about half an hour then we fed him with little milk as he was very hungry. After the milk feed, he calmed down and slept with occasional crying.

Singapore Flyers

Set my foot on Singapore Flyers last Sunday. Well, the experience wasn't that fantastic because the capsule was qite slow moving that one wouldn't feel the moment at all. Other than that, the scenery and the company were the next best thing. The photos will tell all.

Guess I will not be taking a ride in the capsule for the next couple of years. Haha.

1st Year

At a blink of eyes, 12 months just flew by and we have an additional member, bb Jerold to the family.

Happy Anniversary to Hubby and me!

Tired or Happy?

Looking after a baby is equally tiring and happy. Tiring when he refused to sleep and crying, wanting to be carried . This is even more tiring and fustrating when he doesn't sleep from 8am to 8pm! After every feed (at interval of 3 hours) I would secretly hope that he will slip off to dreamland but whenever I put him down on his cot, his big eyes will open and start to cry. And the cycle continue until night comes.

However, all these tiredness and fustration would reduce to zero when I see his angel face.

Happy Mother's Day

to all mothers who is reading this blog. This year I get to celebrate Mother's Day too, just in time for it.

Rachael (hubby's niece) was very thoughtful, she got both myself and my MIL a stalk of carnation each. So sweet of her.

Being the only child for 3 years we were initially scared that she would get jealous of di di. For the first few weeks, she would try to get our attention on her. For example by playing with her, hugging her when she is back from school etc. Recently it has improved, maybe she has accepted di di as a new member in the family. These days, she likes to kiss on Jerold's hand.

1st Month

Happy 1st month, Jerold! Mummy and Daddy love you! Smuck!

Motherhood Life

Yes yes I been blogging mainly about Jerold these days but no choice. There isn't much interesting stuffs happening in my life right now except for Jerold. Now my time is all revolved around him. Feeding him, changing his diapers, coaxing him to sleep etc. That is what motherhood life is about.

I am not sure whether is it a baby thing or because Jerold is a boy, he always make noises, have different type of sleeping positions and stretches himself intensively until his whole face is red, even when he is sleeping. Below is the evidence. Haha!

Cake Delivery

As part of the first month tradition, hubby and I ordered a few boxes of cupcakes for colleagues. So we went to our offices yesterday to distribute the cakes. Inside the box, there is a baby card with a picture of Jerold and little details of his birth. Very cute.

Of course, he was the centre of attention in the offices. Haha! Everyone were delighted and eager to carry him. Hehe! He was also very good, slept throught out the whole journey and only woke up when we are reaching home because he was hungry for milk.
