We went to jb today with 大姐. Went to eat our favourite Korea food. Caydon was very naughty, he can't sit still on the booster seat, keep on moving about until the whole seat also moved...

Last day of Year2014
Woohoo, how fast time flies, we have come to the last day of 2014, as I am writing this, its half an hr more to yr2015! 2014 was a fruitful year for me, my baby boy was born and I am into motherhood. Life being a mother, one word...... Tired! Haha... really is very tired as my boy is still unable to sleep through the night, he has been waking up at least once per night, most of the time is twice per night. Everyday I drag my tired self to work :(
The joy of being a mother is when you see your baby's cute face and laughter, you will find that this is all worth it. I have been envying other people who have their parents, on laws, maid to help, til now I still envy them, I hope to stop envying them in the new year2015.
Hope that everyone is healthy and happy in the next 365days. Wish that my boy grows up healthy and happy everyday and more obedient abit. :)
Happy New Year!

Caydon's 9th mth assessment-02dec14
02dec14
Today brought Caydon to the Hougang polyclinic for the 9th mth assessment, the 'tests' carried out by the nurse are so cute, she ask caydon to pick up 2 wooden blocks and knock then together, I thought caydon will not listen to instructions but he did! Then follow by asking him to pick up a raisin. He did it well but not totally with the pincer grab. He grab the raisin and wanted to put it into his mouth...haha...Before all these is the hearing test, which took quite awhile. His response seems faster on his right side.
He weighs 7.9kg and height is 70cm

Caydon becomes very sticky to us
For the past 3 days when we hand him over to the teacher at ifc, he cried :(
I wonder why did he become like that? He has always been smiling happily to the teacher and don't really care about us leaving. But strangely as he grow older, now that he's 9mth+, he start to become very sticky to us. Even when at home, we also cannot leave him alone, he will cry murder!

Caydon's 2nd haircut-18/10/14
Brought Caydon to Scissors Paper Stone at 112 Katong for his 2nd haircut. His hair is really long and people has been asking me if he is girl girl or boy boy...haha.. It's pretty expensive for a haircut, $22. They will take pictures of your baby after the haircut and make a keychain for you, this is for first time customers only. But I am so heng that their ipad is down that day so we didn't get to make the keychain, shall email them my boy's photo and they will do it for me :)
Was very worried that Caydon will fuss during the session, I was half right, he start to fuss during the 2nd half of the session, haha. During the 1st half of the session, he is very guai, sit still and let the auntie cut his hair, I think he knows that he is cutting hair so he don't dare to move..haha.. so cute my baby. But after a while, he start to move and fuss and cry loudly, the auntie say that he is very fierce, haha. Luckily the auntie is very experienced and she cut very fast and steady, able to finish everything when he's fussing and crying.

After haircut :) Looks so cute..hehe

Period returned when bb is 6months old
My period returned in full force on 17/09/14, actually it returned abit last month. My boy is 7months old, I am still bf so I thought it won't visit me so fast :( My period cycle seems to be more normal now, it's about 29days instead of the very short cycle (23/24days) before I was pregnant. And the flow is more than last time.

10 Aug 2014-2nd day of eating cereals
22 Aug 2014
Coming to 6th month postpartum, my period seems like returning. There is some brown discharge when I wipe myself after urinating, didn't expect it to come back now as I am still breastfeeding. Googled and realise that period could come back for a few reasons, one of it is that when baby starts solids..maybe that's why..

08 Aug 2014-Final Jab
Today is Caydon's final jab at his age. He weighs only 6.8kg and height is 65cm, growing only 25percentile which I find it's too little but the nurse said that it's consistent, his growth is slow and steady, haha.
10 Aug 2014-Training Caydon to self soothe and away from yaolan
Today is the 1st day we started to train Caydon to sleep in his cot instead of yaolan, without any rocking. It was in the afternoon around 12pm+ when he has finished latching and was sleepy, I carry him and placed him in the baby cot, switched on the cot mobile and see his reaction, at first the was starring at the cot mobile intensely. After a few minutes, he start to cry and the cries get louder and louder, he flipped and flipped until one corner of the cot, I just sat on my bed, a distance away from his cot and look at him. I was very heartpain to see him cry out so loud and perspiring. 10minutues gone by, finally he stopped to rest for awhile, and continue again... super heartpain but my hubby told me if I really cannot bear to see him cry, I can go and carry him. But inside me I was thinking if I carrry him now, the past 10minutes of crying would have gone to waste.. So I endure..walked in and out of the bedroom...once he saw us, he will cry out loud again..Looking at the clock, he finally stopped after 20minutes of crying and fell asleep. He was so tired that he slept for 3hours+
In my mind, I was thinking how many times of this cry it out method do we have to use before succeeding? At night, we tried again. Around his sleeping time (9pm), after feeding him cereals and breastmilk, same thing, I put him in his cot, this time I didn't stay in the bedroom, I went outside to do my things. Very heartpain again to hear his cries and shouts/screams. But to my relief, he stopped after about 5 minutes and fell asleep! I wipe my hand against his hair, which is wet from perspiration and shift him to the centre of the cot as he has flipped to the corner again. Have we succeed? Is it that he knew that no matter how hard he cry, we will not pick him up or is he too tired and fell asleep? Whichever the case, we are glad that it only took him 5mins. Surprisingly fast that he has learnt to self soothe in only a day, thought that he will need a few days. Will try again tonight.

Today when we fetch Caydon from ifc, he's practising his flips on the mattress again..haha..
The teacher that watch over him even sing songs for him :)
The teacher say "他的声音很大声, 中七十足, he's the loudest among all the babies there... Another teacher said that when she's bathing him, he fuss and yell, not cry. He will yell until he gets what he want then he will stop...haha

5th visit to the gynae
31 Aug 2013
Today's appointment I did the test for down syndrome, which includes a blood test and a scan. This cost me $350 before Gst. This test that I choose to take is 90% accurately. Nowadays we don't have to go through the pain and worries of the amionic fluid test.
During the scan, my cute baby kept moving about and the gynae was not able to take the measurements properly, he tried so hard to scan him but he won't stop moving, haha. Both the gynae and his nurse was laughing, my baby was so cute and active :) Gynae ask me to talk to him to stop moving for a while so I did, but baby still won't stop....Gynae kept reapplying the gel on my abdominal and try and try to scan, the nurse printed out a few pieces of the scan. Then finally after about 15 to 20 mins, gynae say 'ok'! Finally it's done...haha... Baby is sooooo cute.
After the scan, gynae draw some of my blood for the test of various diseases. He said that the result will be out next week and he will give call me.
This is the scan of him today. Somehow I feel that I can see his face and looks like a boy!

Today is the 4th day of Lunar New Year, the year of Horse. This Lunar New Year is so different from the pass, usually during LNY, I will be wearing new clothes and dress up nicely to go to house visiting, but this year since I am now about 34 weeks pregnant with my big tummy, I am not able to dress up nicely and also no mood to do so actually because I feel tired everyday. I only bought 1 new maternity dress from ASOS for LNY and a top from Gmarket. The dress is pretty, with embellishments at the bust area, looks expensive but it's way much cheaper than those maternity dresses that local retail shop sells.
By now, I have already put on about 15kg! It's scary isn't it? I know some mummies only put on like less than 10kg, so envy them :( I actually put on much weight during the 1st trimester where I drink at least 2 glasses of maternal milk powder, I guess this contribute largely to my rapid weight gain. But the strange thing is that during every gynae visit, he always said that my weight gain is 'normal'. Which I feel that it's not :( Somemore now it's chinese new year period where feasting is unavoidable. There's so much new year goodies waiting for me... eg. bak kwa, which I can't stop munching once I start eating, haha... I am trying very hard to control myself cause I don't want my baby boy to be too big when giving birth. He's already about 2.1kg at last appointment.
I am feeling kind of nervous as EDD is approaching, if my gynae is accurate, baby could pop by end of Feb'14...I am like left with 1 month to go... so scared...don't know what exactly to expect when giving birth. I will be taking my maternity leave from 26/02/14 so that I can't have some rest before baby pop.
About 2 weeks' ago, I got a shocked when I saw myself in the mirror after bathe. Was going to apply the stretch mark oil then suddenly saw that my butt has alot of stretch marks, oh no! There's the only area that I totally missed applying the stretch mark oil :( I am so upset... Since then I have been religiously applying on my butt and all other areas..
As I'm typing now, my baby is kicking inside me, so cute lah. I will definitely miss his kicks and hiccups when he's out. He's very active during late mornings, afternoons and night time. I can say that he is a good boy cause he don't disturb me when I am sleeping at night, when I sleep, he also stop kicking/he also sleeps. :)
Oh yah, and my maternity shoot is on this Saturday, excited!

It's another new year
and I am 31wks pregnant! Went for my pre-natal massage at Nouri body and face concepts. Hesitated for so long and finally decided to go for it. The shop itself is small but cozy. Valerie the lady boss did the massage for me. It was a new experience for me as I have never done massage before. Decided to do it cause my body, hands and legs are really tired lately and I couldn't sleep well everyday. Val get me to lay on my side and massage my back and legs with medium strength strokes. She said that the back of my legs are clot up, lots of water retention and I should have go to her much earlier. After she finished with my back and legs, she massage my hands. As she was massaging, I actually perspire abit! Guess my blood is really circulating. During the 1hr session, we were c
hatting throughout. Val gives me lots of advise on giving birth and confinement issues. She's very friendly and knowledgeable. After the massage, I feel my body lighter. Kinda regret that I didn't come earlier :( I still have one session with her as this is a promo at $98 1 for 1. Have also decided to engage her for my post natal massage as she is result driven and she said that most of her clients went back to their pre pregnancy weight within 1 month! I really hope that I will also be like them but it might be hard for me as I have already put on 13kg!
Her post natal massage is $150 for 2hrs.
