Week 8 now

How fast time flies! Kolby is 8 week old now, which mean I left only another 8 weeks with him. Glad that confinement period was over, we got a confinement lady for this round and it was a good decision made. I got enough rest during this period, not so stress up with supply that I can build up my supply, not worry that my mom cannot cope with the kids. Everyone has an easy time.
4 weeks alone with baby after the confinement lady left, my mom will come over in the afternoon that 2 kids are back from school. I am glad that she is around, I am having a hard time especially during evening time when Kolby is active. It is a war fighting every minute and weekend is the worst as hubby is not helping out. Else life is beautiful.
Kolby at 8 week old weighs 4.8kg, recognise me and like me to be by his side. When he is awake, he will want us to talk to him, or just stay beside him. when he wants to sleep, he need to be latch. He can sleep longer hours at night about 5-6hrs before he stir and awake for his milk. Lucky he can latch well now, we just have to co sleep and latch him if he want milk while I continue to sleep. Continue please Kolby! Mommy will love you more for this.

Also, Charis and Gregory are behaving more like big jiejie and big korkor now. They will try to help when Kolby cries and I am busy with housework. Or they will help out with simple house work like sweeping or mopping the floor. Already they are very independent, they have keep their own toys and books, do their homework, shower on their own, sleep on the own. I am very thankful for all these.

Arrival of baby Nicholas

19 April 2021, we welcomed our new member :) he has came to us as a surprised gift. I got to know I was pregnant last Sep, at first it came to me as a shock rather than surprise. Firstly I did not thought that getting conceive is easy, for all previous pregnancy, I have tried ways and means to get pregnant, and now I did not even try and I strike jackpot! Of course, baby equal joy!!! We broken the news to our kids and Charis even cried when she heard it. My pregnancy journey is not a smooth one, at 40 year old, I feel my body is not prepared and weak for this pregnancy. I have bleeding for the whole T2 and pelvic pain for T3. Basically i need more and more bedrest and because I get to work from home due to covid 19, I did not have to travel to work or request any medical leave. 16 April 2021, I am at week 37 plus 4days, during the gynae check, I was already 2cm dilated, I am excited. My inital plan is to induce on 19 April as I am worried that the fliud level will drop after week 38...

Development of Kolby 11 month old

So fast, Kolby is 11 month old now. 1 month more and he will be 1 year old. At 11 month old, he is doing well though he is rather small build compared to his peers. Remember he was sick for a week, after since then, he has become extra more sticky to me to the extent that I cannot be out of his sight. He used to be ok when I asked Charis or hubby to look after or play with him while I do housework. Now, NO WAY! He will crawl or move toward me if he hears that I ask Charis or hubby to come over to my side. Oh dear, I was so shocked when he did it. We experienced a few times with Charis, and he really fast hand fast leg crawl to me and hug me like a koala bear. Sometimes I wonder is it because I latch him always. Hubby said Kolby only recognize me as his milk machine, but I think Kolby simply love me too much~~ At 11 month old he can do quite a few things: Kiss goodbye Wave goodbye Say mama, jiejie, baba, nehneh, bird bird Listen to instruction like ...

Updated on kopi kia

Kolby surprised me again by picking up a raisin and put in his mouth and he chew it before swallowing it. Why do I feel surprised with his action? Remember he was once refer to KKH because of his not good motor skill   and fine motor skill and his slow weight gain. Within a month, he is able to start independently, knowing how to use a pen to scribble and also picking up a raisin and feed himself. Maybe his weight gain is still not ideal as I don’t monitor his weight and height gain. Other than this, he is doing very well. I am glad that I trusted my mother instinct and did not bring him to   unnecessary assessment. I understand that the doctor in polyclinic mean well and they have to follow the procedure, but no doubt, it is also adding extra stress to the parents. I have colleagues who will see from the health booklet what is the age and things that a child can do and practice them with her child in order not to fail the assessment. Of course it is good to ...
