Mommy-yeoh

Baby J is 9 months and 2 days old. And had his very first hair cut yesterday. I did a quick 'chop' of his hair while he was busy occupying himself with toys. His hair was getting a bit too long at the sides and beginning to curl a little. Some people commented that he looked like a girl! Can't say I did a fantastic job on the haircut but so long as he doesn't look like a girl is good enough for me. To me, Baby J is growing so much faster than Little Princess. I guess being busy at work and home, I don't realised how much time has passed me by. It only seems like yesterday that I was pregnant with Baby J. It wasn't an easy pregnancy. With a 4 yo on toll, it literally took my sanity away. It was filled with mood swings and morning sickness (round the clock)! I stare at the toilet 'throne' more than I stare into Daddy-yeoh's face! I felt bloated all the time and shortness of breath was a norm to me. Since Little Princess was an induced labor, I only get...

Baby J arrived early October, 18 days earlier than the due date. He weight exactly the same as Little Princess when she was born. Being 4 years older and having to juggle a newborn and a preschool kid, things were pretty rough and filled with lots of *pulling hair* moments. There is no such thing as settling in with the baby. Life becomes instantenously busy and insane. 'Me-Time' became a thing almost-impossible-to-achieve and even if I could enjoy it, it is an oh-so precious-moment! Baby J is 5 months plus and another 2 weeks or so, he will be 6. As time pass, he grow into different stages where work and more work for mommy adds on. Sounds like a complain? Perhaps :) Despite all, Baby J brings such joy to us. He hardly fuss except for milk and when he is sleepy. He loves to smile. He smiles at you when he wakes up, He smiles at you when you talk to him, He smiles at you when you sing to him, He smiles at you when you play with him, He smiles at you when you change his diaper, ...

Our baby should be due anytime now. Little Princess was early by 10 days, so we are expecting an early delivery. My doc said that he will be expecting my call anytime from now. I feel heavy and walking is almost impossible. I am not sure if I could wait till his actual delivery date which is on the 27 October. I hope that he will arrive really really SOON!

I noticed that I have more white hair growing on my head. I had that when I was pregnant with the Little Princess and it never did went away. Now with the second pregnancy, it added to the existing ones and this time more obvious than before. I was checking out the whites on my black hair in the bathroom mirror one day when I noticed how the white hair reflected in the sunlight from the window. It may sound strange, but they looked like shiny silver strings glittering away on my head. Now I understood the meaning of silver lining in every dark cloud :)

Just went I thought Little Princess is out growing her cough, she got it again yesterday with the phelgm and all. The doc tor siad its due to her underdeveloped breathing track and coupled with my family history of asthmatic genes, she can be sensitive to anything under the sun including dust. The doctor assured us that this is common among children and they will grow out of it. The bright side, her condition is not serious enough to be out on a chamber. But the BIG question is when will she grow out of it??? I tried all sorts of methods from western to chinese (and even trying suggestions found in forwarded emails) but the cough keeps coming back every 2 weeks or so. The most difficult part was each time she has her cough, she will vomit all her milk or meals. The mess, oh how I hate the mess! And each time she has the cough in the night, I can never have a good rest because I will be waking up and checking on her throughout the night, making sure she is fine. Has anyone had such p...

Took Little Princess for a quick shopping while waiting for Daddy-yeoh who went for a hair cut. Came to the 'Party Princess' store in Mid Valley and saw a tray of little kid's rings for sale. Little Princess took a peek and I asked if she wanted one. She said yes and Mummy gave her the freedom to choose one that she likes. She looked at it from row to row and pick one at a time and wear it on her middle finger. Each time she put one on she will say "Hmm..this is nice". and it went on with a few other rings until she finally settled down with a shape of an Oreo cookie except it's pink. She took it home and wore it on her middle finger and said this aloud to her Daddy... "When I grow up I want to marry you!" That made me smiled. What made you smile today?

Baby bump is a little much more now that I am hitting my fifth month. Detailed scan showed Baby is doing well. He weight about 450 grammes for now... and yes its a HE :). I guess that balanced up the number of genders in the Yeoh's residence. On the other hand, the Little Princess is growing fine. She loves her preschool and her teacher. Had assessment (exam) in late May. Mummy was at lost not sure what or how to prepare her for the exam since she is ( yet ) four years old. Decided just to let her be, if she knows the answers to her exam, then good but if she does not, that is fine with me too. But suprisingly, Mummy got the pressure from Grandma, asking how is she coping and whether Mummy will be doing revision with her! I said no as I have no plans at all. And guess what, lo and behold, Grandma checked her schedule on the time and day of the exam and the topics and came up with a 'revision-time-plan' for her a week before the exam. I guess its fine with me so long as she ...
