Breastfeeding

I breastfed Baby the moment she was born. It's like an instinct build in her that she knew how to suckle for feed. But I was almost at the edge of going crazy, when she needed feed almost every hour into the night. On the first night at the hospital, she drove me nuts when she refuses to let go even when she had suckle for a whole hour.

Today, I have to say that breastfeeding was a breeze. I fell 'in love' with breastfeeding so much so that I make sure that I continue to have ample supply of milk for the little one. Not only was breatfeeding is easy, it saves me money by not spending on formula milk and best of all, I get to travel light :) I only have to take 2 luggages for her. Yup! 2! One for her clothes and the other is for her diapers. Not forgetting her bath tub.

To top it all, I enjoyed the time we both spent together during feeding time. I love the way she looked up to me while she lay very still in my arms suckling away. Her little hands will occassionally hold my index finger as if telling me that she is enjoying the moment as well. Her contented look brings a sense of achievement in me. Occassionally she will look up to me playfully, inviting me to play along with her.

I looked forward to each of her regular checkups with the Paed. When they weight her and the doctor would tell me that she is growing well, my face will beam and I can't help but feel proud about myself :)

Breastfeeding has brought us both close. There were times she will cry for me even when she is in Mad Cat's arms. And just as much as she needs me, I need her as well.

It's amazing how God had designed us women to be. Being a able to carry a life inside us and able to feed our young.

So to all mothers-to-be, please do breastfeed your babies and enjoy this God given gift.

My dad-in-law passed away on September 1, 2007 to begin an eternal life with our Lord. He was a man with few words, gentle in his ways and had a generous heart to all. He had led a hard life but he was blessed with a loving and faithful wife and three wonderful sons. He had fought a long hard battle of cancer for years. And throughout his life, he kept his heart closed against the Lord. Due to persistent prayers of those who love him and the brotherly love of Sitiawan Methodist Church members, my dad-in-law accepted the Lord Jesus as his personal Saviour, follow thereafter by my mum-in-law. They were both baptized last month. His sickness took a bad turn last week and the sons were called to return home to see him for the last time. There were a few times that they thought my dad-in-law was not going to make it but he managed to pull through. It came to a point, my brother-in-law prayed for a confirmation from God the time which my dad-in-law will be called home. The day before my dad-

A Sick Baby Updates

My Little Lady last had fever on Thursday morning. We fed her a dosage of paracertamol at 6.30 a.m. and her fever never came back since then. Her swelling reduced tremendously and there were no rashes on her body. The doctor has informed us that it will take a few days with 2 days of high fever and thereafter the fever will go up and down for another few more days. We praise God for His healing and that my Little Lady was healed within less than 2 days. Her fever started on Tuesday night and Wednesday was the crazy day and by Thursday early morning it was all gone. As I write this I am reminded of this verse;- " I waited patiently for the Lord, he turned to me and heard my cry ." Psalm 40 And thank you all who has kept us in your prayers :) We appreciate it very much. Got to run for now. Since Daddy Yeoh and Little Lady have both recovered, I will be making American breakfast for them...Smoked English Breakfast Sausages (homemade by my brother in law) yummy!
