Happenings these days

I haven't been doing much these few weeks, be it with the kids, the house, packing of the room etc... blame it on the extremely berserk weather, it has been extremely HOT and the only thing that I wanted to do was to ... relax n stretch out on the BED!!!!!!! HA!!!!!!! if only I could do that! Try having 2 active n screaming toddlers in a big house with lotsa stairs n u'll know what I mean. Not that I can't lie down, its the peace I need when I wanna lie down n have just 15 - 20mins of cat nap. Yes, its just that short and I'll be 'refreshed'... but... I've long given up the idea of having a peaceful nap, let alone a nice deep peaceful sleep since becoming a mother... I know I would have to wait another 5-6 years or maybe even more to enjoy my 8-9 hrs of beauty slumber.... ahhhhhhhhhhhh even that sounds good... I must have taken sleep for granted in the past.

Anyway, the thing that tops my list now is to pack the two messy rooms upstairs. I gotta pack the larger room (next to the MBR) n move the playroom over OR I could simply just shift the bed over (leave the playroom where it is)and let my Confinement nanny n princess no. 2 to sleep there... well I haven't decided... can't seem to make up my mind... the next thing to do is to pack the hospital bag... not many things to pack, but I still gotta throw in the necessary stuff right? Its No 3 already, nothing new...

Of late I've been feeling 'weaker', very tiring n the body aches so much. Even standing up at times hurts... so all this goes to proof that its definitely better to have kids when u're YOUNG!!!!!!!! That meaning before your 30s... this struggling soon to be 35 yr old is sharing her experience with u. Trust me... its really tiring.......... n the leg cramps... I tell u, is HELL!

Kids - my initial plan was to have more craft time with Meia, but I don't think its working out at the moment as I've to juggle a 13+mth old Max (who adores the stairs). Do I need to worry that up to now, Meia still know how to write her A B Cs n 1 2 3s.... not that I haven't been teaching, she's simply too hyper, but I guess I gotta do something about it right? I've also been nagged at (no prizes for guessing who that person is...) for letting her be a left hander... so what if she's a leftie??? I read in somewhere from the experts that its best not to change them n to let them develop freely. Ya, its a right handers world, but lefties, they adapt well too! So I'm leaving it as it is. Max, is growing up to be even more adorable!!!!! He only doesn't know how to talk... but he knows how to choose. For example.

Me : Didi u hungry?
Max : (Looks at me n nods, then gingerly crawls to the kitchen n to the place where I put the milk bottles n milk powder)
Me : (carries Max) What do u want? (there's a bottle with ribena, an empty Max's bottle n Meia's milk bottle)
Max : (bends down n chooses his empty milk bottle)
Me : TOTALLY SURPRISED!!!!!! oh u clever boy, ok mommy make milk

See he only doesn't know how to talk, but he understands, hahaha especially when he's naughty n I scold him... ultra sensitive boy will cry with big tear drops!!!!! But I should say he's a very cheery boy, laughs n smiles alot, and very very affectionate! Love him to bits!!!

Meia - still very whinny n cries ever so often! But she has really grown up! Part of me can't wait for her to start nursery next year!

Updates on No. 3

Haven't been updating much about baby no. 3. The last checkup I had on 2 Sep 08 she was weighing approximately 900g-1kg at 25+ weeks. My gynae was sort of surprised as he expected a much bigger baby, like Max, but I gently reminded him that this time round that baby's a gal. Actually I can't remember how much Max weighed during that period.... hmmm. Anyway, he said that princess no.2 is doing well, n as usual asked me if I'm eating because I haven't been gaining weight.... 6 mths and all I've gained is 1.4kg. Ask my doc if u don't believe...

Princess no. 2 is doing well, she's really kicking n turning alot!!! and I say ALOT!!!!! of all the kids, she's the only one who refuses to let me have a good night's sleep. So far Meia n Max have been very good when it comes to letting their mommy sleep at night. But it ok because I'll be waking up for night feeds in two months time.

Next checkup is due 30 Sep 08.

Sentosa Monorail Ride


We went to Vivo City yesterday with my mom and as we passed the Sentosa Station Counter at Vivo, my mom causally asked if we could bring the kids for the monorail ride. I was of course all game for it as both of them really love train rides, so I went to buy the tickets. $3 for adults, my two kids went in for free. Unlimited rides, as long as u don't tap your ticket at the station. We didn't go into Sentosa as it was already in the afternoon n I needed to get home. So we only had the train ride... 3 rounds to be exact.


Next week we'll be going again, but this time to Sentosa!

Happy 13 Months Max

It has been fantastic 13 months since Max joined our family! He has certainly brought joy to our lives and I feel so proud him. Though he is quite slow in his developments compared to his peers, I'm just glad that he's healthy n very cheery. Things that he can do so far : -

1. Cruise
2. Call Papa, mama, jie jie, mom mom
3. Crawl n shout when he's happy
4. Knows how to quarrel with Meia
5. Fights for his toys
6. Holds his own bottle
7. Is a very greedy boy
8. Wave hello n bye bye
9. Can say bye bye

I think that's about all...

Happy 13 months Max! U're my most adorable son!
