But still going to let him sun tann every morning, cuz that's what we have been doing with him every day for the past week and seemed to be working.. =))</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">our boy also very strong when he took his Hep B shot. only cried when the needle went in... after that he was okay.. =)) and he is at 3.7KG =)) did not gain alot but at least he is gaining wight. the nurse say that its normal as breastfed newborns have not develop a regular eating and slping pattern hence the weight gain is sufficient. and the fact that he is pooping, urinating well is a good sign of development.&nbsp;</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Eh going out alone with him is pretty okay. Just only need to always find place to breastfeed him. mil kept suggesting that i should pump out the milk and feed him by the bottle so that not so troublesome and other ppl can help to feed as well. ehhh not that i do not want to pump out, but once i do that i fear that i might lose the bond with him. he confirm will be spoiled by his grandparents when he is older. if i start to feed him by the bottle, i tink the pampering will start even earlier...&nbsp;</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3456826724389764357-748824041227230911?l=lindysaywat.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ME:noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456826724389764357.post-24013451029969710762011-07-09T19:45:00.002-04:002011-07-09T19:48:18.856-04:00<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Before Ashton popped, Dar and I already decided tat we want to exclusively breastfeed him for at least 6months. When we decided on that, we were still in US and I thought to myself i hope i'll have alot of breastmilk for him.&nbsp;</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But ever since i started breastfeeding, i always worry i do not have enough for him. Always worrying that he is never full. Always worry that he will not be gaining enough weight. It doesn't help that mummy and mil keep re-enforcing the fact that i do not have enough breastmilk each time they see me breastfeed Ashton. They would say that he is not eating enough and we should also use formula so that he will be full. Hearing such comments from them really discouraged me several times and really got to me that i do not have enough to keep Ashton full.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />Nevertheless, i still have to bear with what they say. its getting bearable but hearing too many times always bring my mood to super low which i&nbsp;realize&nbsp;would affect the amount of my milk. There were times where i felt like exploding to them. Do they not tink i also want the best for Ashton? we know that breastmilk is the best thats whey i want to do it. U tink its easy to breastfeed?? no lor... if i want the easy way out, i would have use formula instead and everyone can take turns to feed him. But they are after all my elders, i sill have to respect them, so i can only endure the comments. Lucky for me, Dar is very supportive and still&nbsp;encourage&nbsp;me to cont breastfeeding. Ask me not to take the comments to heart. &nbsp;What would i do without him.&nbsp;</span><br /><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">i happen to be one of those mummies who do not have excessive breastmilk that they could stock up their entire freezer. I now only have enough to feed him and do not have excess when to pump out and store. I really hope that i would have a lot more as time goes by. Having excessive breastmilk is on top of my wish list. Can Xmas come early this for me?? i have been a good girl all year round, Santa pls blessed me with excessive breastmilk!!!!!!!!!!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3456826724389764357-2401345102996971076?l=lindysaywat.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ME:noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456826724389764357.post-30448990422302061552011-07-07T21:19:00.000-04:002011-07-07T21:19:39.712-04:00<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">08.07.2011 marks the end of my 30-day long confinement. <br />The end of showering with specific herbal concoction...</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The end of eating confinement food...</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The end of wearing long pants all day long...<br />The end of not touching water...<br />The end of feeling sticky all day long and not able to take a quick shower...</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The start of &nbsp;my freedom back to daily long showers and hair washing =))))))</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />Lots of frens asked me how i was copping during the confinement. <br /><br />To be honest, i didnt felt like i was on confinement.

AND that i was 3cm dilated and can go up to the delivery ward to pop!!!! i know the look on my face at that moment was priceless and i could not react in time... Dar was also shocked that we could deliver yesterday. But we told Dr Khoo our concern and that we wish to have a natural birth as possible so we decided to delay our delivery.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Dr Khoo was explaining that its better and would be an easier delivery if the baby is smaller, Ashton is abut 2.7kg so its a good weight and size to pop. Partly also because he will be away during the week that i'm suppose to pop, but there is another doc on standby. He also said that mostly likely these few days i'll be popping anyway due to the dilation. So we tentatively set Ashton's D-day as 8th June 2011.... =))) hopefuly by then Ashton will grow a little bit more =)) hahah at least we know that he will not be contesting for biggest baby among some of our frens...hehehehe</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Its so near yet and fast and unbelievable... hahah mummy already say that i'll be popping at least 1 week earlier and Dr Khoo suggested delivery yesterday which is 17days=2weeks earlier...hahaha<br /><br />since D-day is reaching, got to start washing all the basic baby clothes... pack the delivery suitcase.<br /><br />we are also moving our things bit by bit by this week to our new nest in preparation..<br /><br />ahhhh...

But i was told otherwise by another nurse previously.&nbsp;Never mind, &nbsp;So i requested for 5mins to walk back home to get a book to keep me occupied the next 3hrs and a pear to keep me alive after everything.&nbsp;</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">After drinking the glucose, i was feeling so much sugar-rush that i felt so&nbsp;nauseous and can feel my heart racing...hahaha and Ashton could feel it too.. he was kicking non-stop during the 3hr...hahaah&nbsp;</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">After 1hr of waiting and the completion of the 2nd blood draw, the 3rd confusion came, the nurse asked me to drink plenty of water which i was told that i cannot take anything during the 3hr wait. So when i asked for water, the clinic does not have any bottled water or water cooler, &nbsp;plus i cannot head back home which is less then 5mins away to get my own water, i had to resort to drinking the tap water from the bathroom. it taste horrible. The reason the nurse told me that i have to drink lots of water is to keep myself hydrated so&nbsp;</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">that the blood flow will be smooth.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">During the whole waiting process, Dar msg me during class to make sure i'm doing okay so i told him about the water&nbsp;situation, he's so sweet and brought me a huge bottle of water during his 30-min break before his next class, muaacks muaccks him to death =))&nbsp;</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My 3rd and 4th blood draw was painful and&nbsp;torturous. My veins, already very small and&nbsp;temperamental at times refuse&nbsp;to cooperate and the 2 nurses had a hard time find the vein and keep it there long enough to draw the blood, which resulted in me getting poked 5 extra times. So i total i had a total of 9 pokes to draw 4 tubes of blood.... For the last poke, they actually wanted to try one of the veins on the side of my wrist, which they claim that its fat and almost 100% will have blood flow every time... i was skeptical as i cannot see any veins at all, so i asked if they could try to draw it from the back of my hand as i see more fatty veins there. They agreed and poke a hole. The vein was a little uncooperative at first, but after about 20s, the blood flowed and i completed the last tube with maximum effort...muahahhaa else who knows how many more pokes i got to endure.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My left and right arms looks like i have been abusing myself with needles.. lots of fresh poke holes and they are slowly turning blue black....</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">well, at least i told myself, the pain is worth it as it will let us have a piece of mind whether i have gestational diabetes and from there how can we treat it so that it will affect Ashton as little as possible.

I guess if i'm not pregnant with Ashton, it could be easier for me to babysit Grace as no restrictions in terms of mobility and energy level is higher and i'll not get tried and&nbsp;irritated easily.&nbsp;</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">on the other hand, with Ashton and babysitting Grace at the same time gave me a different kind of training. as my tummy grows bigger and Grace getting heavier and moving alot more when u carry her, it trained my patience,&nbsp;endurance&nbsp;and controlling my temper and of cuz its like training for my 2nd kid with Ashton. its like a preparation course and i dont have to pay a penny, muahhhahah</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">although i tink that even though its good training for me in particular, part of me feels that its kinda unfair for Ashton. if i have not cont to babysit Grace, perhaps i could do more in preparation for his arrival. meaning i have more time to ourselves to get ready, like do more&nbsp;exercise, my energy level will be all given to Ashton, 100% is given to him instead of splitting 50-50..&nbsp;but at the same time, with babysitting Grace, it makes me more efficient in time management. so thats good and bad.... having said that, i still might not be 100% ready if i have all the spare time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">that led me to thinking,</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">&nbsp;</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">when should i return to the work force after Ashton is born. Ideally, if financial is not a prob, one parent should stay at home with Ashton so that we could care for him and be there to watch him grow. i would think that its selfish of me to want to work just to get back my freedom and independence and choose to leave my kid to someone else to care for and eventually miss out alot of his childhood. &nbsp;But the reality is that, both of us will have to work, for our flat and also for Ashton. I'll have to return to the workforce, the question is when??&nbsp;</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Once, i return to the workforce, alot of adjusting will take place. alot of questions and decisions have to be asked and made. &nbsp;i'll not be able to care for Ashton 24/7. Who will care for him while we work? should we hire a live-in nanny? our parents will take care? or put him in childcare??? and also should i work part-time or full-time?? with Ashton and perhaps more kids to come in future, no doubt that i'll be more efficient at work, it could be a breaking deal when i have to choose to work or our kids. of cuz i do not want to come to that....</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">i do want to return to the workforce asap, i want to be earning my own keep and also contribute to our family, then Dar will not have to be the sole breadwinner, &amp; also to have some more savings for the rainy days... but with a kid, i might not be as free to do the things i want to do, but i'm sure i'll know what to do when the time to decide comes and it will be worth it no matter what i choose.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">hahahaah i might be thinking too much at the moment....</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3456826724389764357-2596015289644985702?l=lindysaywat.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ME:noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456826724389764357.post-61115248029850638882011-05-03T23:43:00.001-04:002011-05-03T23:43:57.111-04:00<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">(2nd Mar 2011)</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">after many many many hours of knitting,&nbsp;I've&nbsp;finally completed a pair of too-large booties, a hat and a blanket of Ashton... hopefully we would be able to use it for some picture taking during the 1st week when he is home...&nbsp;</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">i could have bought the items instead of knitting as it saves more time and i could get so much nicer designs and brands.
