machi raises her voice again onoff while me at home the past few days...
seeing her frustrated makes me 'mang' also...
sad...
am feeling unhappy and frustrated with the grandma-in-the-house issue... machi going zonked and disturbed about dowager being 'sick' now and needed care there in butterworth... upset the old lady still in the house and no action being taken to remove her... wanna a bigger house now... no place for everyone already... not enough place for the kids to play, even sleep for the moment...
sigh...
sigh...
sigh...
daddy lasts days with the shop... cleaning up and passing on the keys to the landlord...

lil'tiger's chinese name is yan jun...
english name.... hmmm, harder to decide...
3.2kg at dr hwang's clinic weighing today... vit k injection was given as the baby's cord seemed to be slightlu oozy with blood... due to breastmilk... cry la lil'yanjun...

urut re-start....

had shima urut at 10am today...
feels great...
deep sleep after lunch today... relaxed from the massage in the morning till quite engorged with milk... had to wake up to pump... lil'tiger is taking in more milk... had to take him in the room last night as the living romm is just too warm... daddy was the happiest to be back in the air0con bedroom...

chills...

infected perineal wound... sad...
pain...
sweating and chills in the air-con room... had to start on augmentin bd and pcm tds... only to see karen on thursday together with baby to see hwang... feel a little bit better after the medications... how did i not take better care ler!!!

the zip lock seemed dodgy... wonder if it will spill, but the bottom can be opened and support standing up in the fridge... just have to make sure its upright... try... 2 packs rm 51.10... 100 pieces, sturdy and harder plastic than the avent's liners...
machi mistakenly went to gladys' house instead of angie's at century park... oppss...

so hot the weather...
aunty jane came up to see baby again...

urut day 3...

sick urut lady...
fever pula...mie must be very toxic to make her sick after 2 days of urut...
hmmmm...
grobaby giveaway on the cloth whisperer... the things is i've got grobaby shells ready for the lil'tiger, but yet to have the soakers prepped for wearing... he was only 3.02kg ie 6pounds10 when born... all the cloth diapers looks so huge on him... mil had resorted to muslin squares from pureen before lil'tiger was admitted for jaundice, in order to monitor his urine output...impossible to do with dispo... so had used grobaby as a outer shell over those muslin...
reckon its a good start to cd-ing...
autumz's milk storage bag - 50 pieces at rm26+ from angie's shop... gonna try to get it tomorrow as she is now on vacation... running out of storage containers now... had lil'rpincess taking more than 20oz/day t help clear up the stock on the fridge...as the lil'tiger is still a small eater... wanna more ikea's glass bottles - raftan, but no one is going there today.help to get and post it to mie... avent's via cups are just too expansive... hmmm...
wonder if cheche will put on weight with all the breastmilk???
she had demanded to suckle at the breast as well like her brother... did let her do so with machi looking on... she was saying how fortunate lil'princess is to be able to get so much breastmilk and still do so now her brother is out...
lil'girl been having loose stool since taking mummy's breastmilk... de-tox...
we're getting better at breastfeeding now...
less painful on the lactch-on too...
lil'tiger tend to mess his cheeks with milk and also leaks onto the bed... so had to have a hanky on the surface... at least he was fast asleep after this 4 pm feeding session and no need top-up of bm by the bottle...lets see how long he'll last with the milk he took from the breast...

urut/tungku day 2...

pain over lower limbs...
too much walking during pregnancy?
got the bengkung too... not too tight, but itchy from all this sweating... sigh...
how long to be all wrapped up like this?
lil'tiger's asleep... again...
he had got the community nurse visited him this morning... weighed at 3.4kg, but at dr hwang's he's only 3.1kg... slow increase, but at least increase... good...
machi and bapak too him to island, leaving lil'princess at home with mie...
now machi's out to mr goh's place for lil'tiger's readings...
mie am aching all over from the massage... find it hard to fall asleep as feeling stiff and the pain over the limbs...shima reckon its from the big preggy belly as well as much walking about during pregnancy...
graveyard shift babysitter...
daddy had become nightshift babysitter... he had to sleep on the sofabed with baby crib in the living room, as lil'tiger was complaining of the cold air-con room few days ago... daddy slept thru the night instead!!!
lil'tiger was fed by aunty jane, machi fed him in her room, mie fed in after expression at 5am, then yaya fed him at 7am plus after he started crying... hmmmm...

urut/tungku day 1...

lil'tiger was sleepy thru the night... worry... again...
had daddy buy the 'batang kunyit/oui kee' from the chinese medical store for lil'tiger to bath in order to reduce his jaundice level further... lucky after his bath, seemed way more alert for longer period already... whew...
shima is a distant cousin of ana... 3 days total for urut/7 days if affordable...
adviced to cover up legs with long pants/sarong and long sleeved tops to reduce body 'wind'...
feel so nice after the session...
ahhhh....
pain at certain parts of the body with stiffness...
jane and joyce came... jane staying over for weekend as have work in bayan lepas this weekend...
they are now out to macd with lil'princess...
lil'tiger had stayed awake for couple of hours to play with aunty jane... very good that he is no longer as sleepy as b4...
mothercare's nursing bra is heaven-send for its support... will wanna get another pair - hopefully ina smaller size after full moon later this month...

fos... 2 newborn rompers for lil'tiger and 2 banana republic white spaghetti for mie...
milk production going on schedule... now onto mature milk with 2-3 hourly expression... nipples junctions are sore from the pump also saw a lesion each on nipple damage from shallow latch... likely from engorged areolar complex region when tiger was trying to feed earlier b4 admitted...

lil'tiger was born on 26th march 2010 at 12.25pm in island hospital!!!

sleepy baby...
not much interest in milk/play that much compared to lil'princess...

new coleman's insulated box... rm 50 from chinatown's fishing shop... the one ordered from rita is still sitting in kl - her staff forgot! sending only today...nanee... sigh...
major breastmilk leaking at 2pm and 5pm - shortly b4 arriving at doorsteps... drenched the nursing pad and the dress twice badly...lucky the dress is not plain!
love the mothercare's nursing bra... worth the money, good support and coverage over engorged breast... thinking getting another pair in beige/black... maybe ina smaller size too... must wait for 3 months for sizing again...
lots washing machi did...
had machi put him on traditional lampin... covered with the covers i have in stash, so far only used the 2 grobaby's, 1 red mmk - quite nice...

CNY D6... dr siva gh anc...

ANC in gh...
ok booked in for caesar on the 3rd march, but dr siva could not promise in the timing.... its his gynae ot day over major ot, he will do c-sec for mie if he can make it back in time... otherwise he'll get his colleague to help mie on that day he said... actually does not really matter who does it for mie, as long as its on the 3rd and in btw 11.01am - 12.59pm... sigh...
so many mothers in anc today as next friday is a public holiday... will need to be admitted on 2nd march for prelim and anaest assessment... also need to book the 1st class room early... wonder how much will all this cost there? as far as mie remember, its rm900 for c-sec alone, dunno how much a night in 1st class...? how to get it foc? if its gonna cost as much as private, might as well have karen to do the c-sec in island... way way better service!
ananda for lunch...

CNY D3...

coach 43418 penelope signature lurex wristlet in gold/brass/khaki...
mie like-y!
yikes...
my bad really...
did call coach klcc to check the price... 42885 poppy signature wristlet is rm 275 in stores, but do not carry the penelope... split in buying penelope online at rm 240 or poppy from the stores as a 'birth day' present... lil'tiger's birth day and mie's birthday present...
sigh...
mie and mie big mouth, asked daddy which one is nicer... told not even to look at them at this times... financially strained!
apparently father and mother had an argument coz we did not visit them yesterday for cny,etc... sigh, hate all this protocol things... lucky this year mie have a very very good valid reason to stay at home... lil'tiger need all the rest in bed that the mummy can get... so got jane and mother to come over to lepak at home in farlim instead... machi also did not get good rest in 126 as no proper resting place too... 'dog' nest at home is always the best!
do you know day 3 cny people do not visit each other as its considered the 'beggar's day'? now i know after machi told me so... hmmm....
sigh...
pain worsening today... really confined to bed now...
it had been a nice few days without the old granny in the house, now she's back again...sigh...
lil'girl had followed mother back to butterworth... had her aunty jane gave her a quick shower then wore her h&m pink whale dress... and off she went with kisses to yaya and mama... sigh... big girl now... shopping only she kept asking...
grandma in 31 had asked about mie when machi picked lil'girl up on her back with the other old granny... told her mie o.k.u. already... hahhaaaa...

CNY D2...

still in bed at 10.30am now... tired from lack of resting space yesterday... lil'princess was awake at her usual time for school... no wee overnight...
itti bitti giraffe sio in L - confirmed... waiting to pay chasemeister in the forum nia... wow! but the grobaby's sold to another mother d... never mind, get the set from angie in solids too... hmmm, what was the warning about not overspending from the almanac!!!!! isksisksisk..... some more can gatal thinking about another lipstick in light pink pula... sigh... and a new camera... sigh...
must go over soon, but its so much nicer to stay at home... all the resting space mie need for lil'tiger... 35 weeks now, to gain 30g/day from 2.8kg today... estimated birthweight according to dr maha is about 3.3kg... pls stay in till 3rd march ya baby, helping you to have a comfortable life ...
rest at home...
its almost 7pm not... had not stepped out of the house yet, but shortly... did not leave the bed for shower till 6pm... sigh, mush needed rest for everyone... gonna go get some grocery, try to change the benetton top, maybe get another in blue.... not sure if worth it as its quite thin material in t-shirt jersey... can see thru actually... wearing the rm 20 white forever 21 dress, no leggings...
kuta bali and traffic everywhere in maddening! just to get back in farlim area, took us more than 30 minutes with the traffic... grocery in econsave, then dinner tak jadi there... so ended up in kfc, less cars but lots people que up for buying... machi and yaya came back early with all the food...
pain/discomfort...
such short trip put also pain and discomfort already... lil'tiger did protest from the little walk about this evening... had wanted to drop by gurney plaza to change the benetton dress, but changed mind as it was already 9.15pm at the air itam junction trafffic light... u-turn back also took 30 min... sigh....
