Grouchy Lucius due wind in stomach...

It was already 9pm and it's Lucius bedtime ... I sang him a few song and put him in his cot and get him ready to his la-la land,  instead of sleeping he cry out loud immediately when he know I put him down... I wonder why?
Tears was flowing like crazy and how can he be hungry? I just fed him 150ml of milk. Nevertheless, Lucius never cry like this unless he's hungry. So... I decided to prepare another 50ml of milk, gave it to him and it's not enough -_-" I prepare another 125ml this time and he finish it all again and this time, he's very satisfied cos he's smiling at me.

Lucius fell asleep on my arm soundly, I kiss him on his lips to wish him good night and sweet dream and 99% of the time he will smile, watch the video below.

p/s: pardon for his chubby face, camera angle is wrong... *hahaha*

I'm worried that Lucius will wake hubby up as previously I have tried 6 times putting him to his bed and he cry out loud after few minutes and so, I decided to sleep with Lucius is another room. Time check... 12:15am and Lucius finally went into his la-la land :) Poor boy has got too much wind in his stomach, he kept farting too.

Heard someone opening the door at about 2:45am, I am so tired and don't even bother to see who is it, someone coming in the room to check me out and to cover blanket for me, who could it be? Obvious... It's hubby Lim, hehe. Mummy came in at about 4:30am to pass me extra blanket and I told her I already have one.

5:30am, Lucius wake up for his milk and I can see he's feeling better now, my happy boy is back. Brought him back to his cot after his milk session and there he's... entertaining himself in his cot with lots of "ahhhh", "ooooo", "aaa" and lots of megawatt smile from him ^^ <3

Fever after Jab :(

After the injection yesterday Lucius seems well but somehow, he has got a slight fever today and glad that I have a very useful infra red thermometers, all thanks to Angie ^^

Drooling~

Happy Boy still... :)
Gave Lucius the medication for his fever and after taking it, we slept together, from 1pm -4:30pm. Since he's awake, I took out the thermometers to check his temperature and it shock me, the screen showing 'H' (High)... My heart almost drop, re-test again and his temperature is around 37.5c - 37.7c... Fever, please go away from Lucius and speedy recovery for him please.

The weather is getting insanely warm, end of the world coming? Mmm...

Lucius is 3 months old ^^

Lucius is 3 months old and it's time for his 3rd jab today. Gosh, why are there so many injection for babies nowadays, it's so scary and it breaks my heart to see Lucius crying in pain. Nevertheless, Lucius did a great job today, he cried for about 5 seconds and stop as we distracted him with some noisy toy. Well done my dear son, Mommy is proud of you <3

Stoned face after injection but shortly after, he gave me his smiley face again ^^
At Dr Rhonda Watt's Clinic ^^

After injection, we waited for like 15 minutes for Doctor's review, so far so good. Weight is average, length is over average. Weight: 5.970kg, Length: 62 cm. From birth he's 55 cm and now 62cm. The Doctor is pretty concern about Lucius BCG scar, she told us it might bust anytime and she will write a referral letter to KKH for us today and guess what, we will have to wait for about 8 weeks. Come on, what the fish? We told the Doctor, instead of waiting for it to burst, can we just visit the PD today and she replied not possible unless go in as A & E and... she issued a letter for us under A & E.

Called Dr Rhonda Watt's office to book for an appointment instead of heading down to KKH and luckily, they have a slot for us today *phew* We was late for our appointment as hubby have to meet up one of his client to get some documents sign but the staff was very nice and waited for us. Appointment at 1:40pm, we reached at 2:30pm, they close at 2:30pm everyday... What a weird timing? Told Dr Rhonda Watt our concern and she did a check for Lucius, everything is fine! The doctor @ polyclinic over-reacted and seriously, she made us worried for nothing. Spent about $450.00 today for Lucius's 6 in 1 jab and consultation -_-". Lucius have been sleeping most of the time after the jab and I hope there will be no fever.

Hubby drive over to his office to submit some documents and drive over to Eskimo to purchase my favourite drink! This time, I tried Silky Chocolate Milk Tea with Mini pearl and I ordered Green Milk Tea with Pudding for Hubby, taste so good and it's wonderful to have this in such a warm weather but not very ideal for my size... *lol* Such a coincidence that we bump into Dana, she's doing a house visit Tampines area and we drop her to where she wanted to go and our next stop, Dinner @ Woodgrove :)

Reached home at about 6pm today and I'm so tired but I still need to "work" and the flow is uber slow today. Hubby came out from shower and talk to me and I don't even have the energy to response, he knows I'm tired and he still gave me a nice hug + kiss before he go out for his next appointment at 8pm, he never fail to cheer me up everyday. Finally, pumping session ended, checked Lucius temperature before I K.O on my mum's bed to sleep with Lucius and about an hour later Mummy's phone woke us up, ok... that's really annoying... Lucius was annoyed too, he show it by crying in a frustrated and unhappy tone *hahahaha* 15 minutes later, hubby is back and he escort me to our room so that I can sleep awhile more :)

I thank GOD for giving me a wonderful Hubby Lim and our little bundle of joy, Lucius Lim.

Lucius self-entertaining himself :)

Forty-two things that change when you have a baby...

Forty-two things that change when you have a baby

by Rebecca Woolf
What changes when you have a baby? A better question may be: What doesn't change? Here, writer and mom Rebecca Woolf lists her most notable post-baby observations. Then scroll down to read our favorite comments from readers about how their babies changed their lives.

1. You finally stop to smell the roses, because your baby is in your arms.

2. Where you once believed you were fearless, you now find yourself afraid. [See a reader's perspective in #22, below.]

3. The sacrifices you thought you made to have a child no longer seem like sacrifices.

4. You respect your body ... finally.

5. You respect your parents and love them in a new way.

6. You find that your baby's pain feels much worse than your own.

7. You believe once again in the things you believed in as a child.

8. You lose touch with the people in your life whom you should have banished years ago.

9. Your heart breaks much more easily.

10. You think of someone else 234,836,178,976 times a day.

11. Every day is a surprise.

12. Bodily functions are no longer repulsive. In fact, they please you. (Hooray for poop!)

13. You look at your baby in the mirror instead of yourself.

14. You become a morning person.

15. Your love becomes limitless, a superhuman power.

And from our readers...

12. "Your dog — who used to be your 'baby' — becomes just a dog." — Kara
[Many readers begged to differ, saying things like, " I disagree with number 12. My dogs are my additional children," "Nothing about previous babies, whether two- or four-legged, changes when a new miracle comes along," "My dog will never be 'just a dog," and "This is sad to me. My dog is still my baby too."]

21. You finally find out the real reason you have those breasts. — Anon.

22. In response to #2 [above], I'd say that where you were once afraid, you're now fearless. I was always very timid and shy and let myself get walked all over … but now where my kid's concerned, I'll speak my mind and really connect with my inner "b"! — gummismom

23. The support you get from other people surprises you, because the people giving it are not always the ones you'd expect. — japanese_macaque

For my dear hubby ^^



For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right

For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful, baby

You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through
Through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me, ooh, baby

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach

You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love, I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me

Maybe, I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because
I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/c/celine-dion-lyrics/because-you-loved-me-lyrics.html ]
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were always there for me, the tender wind that carried me
The light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

My little bundle of joy will be 3 months old soon and I'm gona return to work *sobsob*

Wednesday, March 23, 2011

First stop - Takashimaya baby fair... yes, again. Bought some Pigeon bottles for Lucius as he seems to dislike Avnet teats and prefer pigeon teats, we bought him a bigger pillow this time and phew, he likes it ^^

Drive over to Goodwood park to collect 3 boxes of the Durian Combo, 1 for FIL, 1 for Angie and 1 for ourselves :) GWP durian cakes is the best, very tasty!

After delivery the yummy durian combo to FIL, we went over to Great World City as hubby need to go to the bank, I will need to pump milk and Lucius need his milk soon. 

Nursing room, located at B1. Swing open the door and I was impressed with how nice and cosy the baby room is. Pictures speaks louder than words, see below!
Entrance
Washing area with hot water
Changing area

Nursing Room, comes with a small table and most importantly there's power socket!

Enjoy his milk...
Sent Lucius back home and hubby drive me to SSDC to sign up for driving, finally... *hehe*

Punggol - Expo - Home

Hubby wants to drive down to Punggol again to view the surrounding around PRIVE, there we go~
I would said Punggol is still pretty "wu-lu", it will take another 10 years or so to develop. There will be a Megamall build in future just beside Punggol MRT/LRT station! 7-8 minutes walk from PRIVE to the MRT Station and to NEX, it only takes 13 minutes ^^ We seriously hope to receive the S&P from the developer soon!

Next stop, to Expo... Last day of baby fair! Bought Parklon play mat for Lucius. It was chaotic when we reached the booth, I quickly glance through the design the design they have and told the staff I wanted "School Bus" design within 3 minutes and we are indeed very lucky, last piece! Luckily, I didn't take my own sweet time to choose! Expensive playmat but I would said it's worth it! 15mm thick, 2 sided with vibrant colour and most importantly Lucius can play and learn at the same time!

Look @ my Happy Little Dude ...

Lucius on his new playmat...

Home Sweet Home :)

Punggol - Nex

Rise and shine at 7:35am and time to work now, I'm the cow, supplying milk for Lucius ^^
We have a appointment at 10:00am today with our agent, Zenice. I'm really excited about today's meeting...

Suppose to go down to the showflat on Sunday as hubby have to work today but guess what, he manged to take some time off to go down today as we are afraid that the unit we wanted will be taken if we go down on Sunday. We reached the flowflat at 10:00am, agent wasn't here yet so we proceed to view the showflat, I love this place and told hubby to get it please... *hehe* Yippe, deposit paid now waiting for approval from HDB and S&P... I pray it will be approve and that will be our new home!

Documentation submission was pretty tedious, from 11am to 2pm... That's long isn't it?

It was late and I told hubby to go straight to work instead, Angie and I decided to travel to NEX by train. I don't know why, but I'm pretty excited bringing Lucius for MRT or bus ride *lol*

Lucius the sleepy boy...
Train Journey starts here... Punggol - Serangoon~
Awake and ready for Swim!

Lucius's Sleep pattern...

Lucius last feeding was at 9:15pm last night and I expect him to wake up at about 2:00am - 3:00am but to my surprise he woke up at abt 5:20am, moving his hand around, not crying just some sound from him, quickly warm up his milk to feed him and the last 40ml he takes years to finish, ended up wasted 10ml of my precious EBM... *lol*

After finishing his milk, I put him back in his cot and sayang him and he look and me and gave me his sweetest smile before he went back to his la-la land. Amazing, Hubby and I have the longest sleep hours today... I hope he can sleep through the night from today onwards... *evil mommy*

Till today, I still can't believe I have a son, I'm really fortunate to have him... Our little bundle of Joy, indeed.

Video taken this morning...
Lucius agreeing with me that he's a little happy boy ^^ Love him <3

Long day outside...

Woke up at about 7:15am, all thanks to Lucius as it's time for milk... Told hubby to feed him instead, I need to pump... Breast engorgement is painful...

Lucius was so happy after his milk session, smiling, talking and responding to us in his own languages. His most frequent used word nowadays is "Aye", Hubby put Lucius back to his cot after 20 minutes and there he goes, "ayeee-ing" away, it sound so sweet for us. Slowly, Lucius fall asleep by himself and hubby rested for another 20 minutes as it was still early to drive over for his car servicing.

Car servicing appointment was book at 8:50am and I have decided to tag along as well ^^ Reached C&C at about 9:10am and guess what... We so-call have priority queue as Lucius is with us, car will be ready by 12pm, good news for us =)

Our breakfast @ C&C

Hot Chocolate with Mercedes logo...


While waiting, we shop around their gifts area and a watch catches my eyes...
My "Kai gong" present from hubby Lim ^^ and yes, it's white again...

Spotted this too and pricing = ridiculous...



Off we go, heading to City Square mall to collect my nursing cover and bra from Mom's Cottage situated at level 3. Somehow I decided to try the bra in the shop and immediately I fell in love with it! It's very comfortable and most importantly they have my size and they are having sales! Original price was S$73.90 and now at only S$37.00!

Check out their website at http://bebelove.com.sg/index.php - Hurry, while stocks last!

Next Stop - Bugis Junction, meeting Angie for Lunch @ Nando and she's bringing me to Bugis Village to shop for some cloths. Aurora wedding is just tomorrow! I need something nice... Bought 1 dress and 1 cardigan, good buy... Cheap and good *lol*

It's a tiring day today, after our session at Bugis, hubby drive us over to Raffles City Shopping center to see if Angie can get some nice heels for her wedding. There are so many nice heels around *drool* and I manage to control myself ^^

8:00pm .... Long day outside for us and it;s time to go home. Sent Angie back home and one last stop for us... Admiralty... to collect clothing for that I have placed online for Lucius *hehe* Kids nowadays are so fortunate :)

I love this.... So cute ^^




Finally, home sweet home...

Swim Swim Swim @ NEX

Wanted to view H2O today but after waiting for over an hour we decided to leave and hubby asked where would I want to go and the nearest mall will be NEX, off we go ;)

We settle down for our lunch before we explore the mall, our 2nd time to NEX today but again, didn't manager to check out all the shops as we are stuck at level 4A for more than an hour... Why? We bought Lucius for his 1st Swimming session at BabySpa, 1 session cost S$33 bucks but seeing him swimming and playing happily in the water, it's all worth it. I have also signed a 10 session package with babyspa so it's slightly cheaper and today's session is FOC and comes with free massage, free huggies swim pants x 5 pcs, Goo.N S/ M size diaper x 5, S$10 voucher... I love Goo.n diaper! Slim and very absorbent!

Pictures speaks louder than words ^^
