Back to work

Posted by irene on Jun 15 2009 | Tagged as: Family, Daily Rant

I went back to work last Tuesday. Time flies, it had been 14 weeks already.
Everything went on smooth at work. I’m slowly gearing back to the working schedule. Trying to catch up with my projects.
I’m still expressing milk in office, 2 times. I’ve reduced the number of pumps to 4 per day. Once in the morning (6am), once before lunch, once at 5pm and once before I go to sleep (usually 11pm).Luckily the amount is no lesser than what I had with 3 hourly or 4 hourly expressing.  Updates on the kids.V started her school holidays, she did quite ok for her exams, with improving grades. However, she still needs to buck up more. This girl of mine is always so nice and caring, never asked for anything. She can take care of the baby brother well also. Baby Zac also seems to like her more than S.Well, maybe S is too rough in handling him. KekekekeOk, I know some stuffs which V hopes to have. She would like to go oversea (she has not been on a plane before), a mobile phone (pink one if possible) and a handheld game console.I guess we’ll get her one of these soon. 

S, mentioned on my last post that she is showing signs of jealousy. Recently, she has been sleeping with me. She doesn’t want me to sleep with bb Zac. Poor bb Zac will have to bunk in with my Mother and my poor Mother will have to wake up for night feeding. Ok, back to S, she doesn’t want me to go back to office. She cried for the 1st few days. Every morning when she wakes up, she will say “Mommy, I don’t want you to go to work”. Despite of her jealousy, she still dotes on her lil brother. Very often, you can see her going to him, kissing him on his face. 

Zac, he got his 1st 5in1 jab last Monday. Developed fever the next Monday, luckily was a mild one and it subside after 2 doses of medication.He weighs 6.1kg and is 62cm tall (measured last Monday). He is getting more vocal and responsive already. Smile at you when you talk to him. Calling you for attention. Oh ya, he is am impatience lil boy. When he cries for milk, he really scream.  Can’t wait at all.  

Some photos to share.

Our helperr had went home this morning.
It’s only 9 months with us, however recently she and V can’t seems to get along well. So for the good of both of them, i gave our helper an option, to transfer to another owner or to go home. She chose the later after discussing with her sister over the phone. They intended to go to HK to work in September.
Therefore, now we are without our helper. Mum said that she is able to handle the kids on her own. If she really can’t handle, she will quit sewing (she is sewing part time at home).
Recently, S starts to show her jealousy. She keeps wanting me to carry her and did not want me to carry Zac. At night, she also wants to sleep with me. BB Zac has to bunk in with my mum. I hope this phrase will pass soon, then I can have more time bonding with BB Zac.
I feel so lucky to have such a good and supporting mum. She has been helping us a lot. Thank You Mum!

busy weeks

Kids are sick… One after another… Been very busy looking after them. We quarantine Zac at my grandma’s place. May the girls recover soon and Zac will be able to come home.

It’s been a month again

*updating this blog via my mobile, hence no graphics or photos*

Times flies, it’s been another month again. Din realised that I did not update my blog for so long till my hubby reminded me.

Wendy, no time to update that status. Thinking of changing the look of this blog or the top header picture… But need time to search or edit any photos first.

This one month has been up and low..I got mastitis for 3 times in 2 weeks. Fever got as high as 39.7degC. At times, feel like giving up breastfeeding. Was thinking why I’m making my life difficult and suffer myself so much. Time spent on expressing milk, suffering from mastitis. Well… It’s all for the good of Zac.

Baby Zac is growing well. He went for his 2nd dose of Hep B jab early this month. As he was still sllighly yellow, doctor asked for a liver test to be done. Luckily, all went well and result is fine The jaundice level come down a week after that. Oh, he is getting more chubby too. Those who know me personally can access to my facebook for his updated photos.

S had a haircut done this month too. We decided that the weather is too warm for her. She has been sweating too much, hair messy. She looks great in her short hair and she loves it too. Today she will be taking her class photos.
Last Thursday, her class conducted a Parent Attachment Day. We parents are allowed to attend the class with the kids for 1.5hrs. Me n S did a strawberry using newspapers and craft papers during the session. It was fun.

V will be having her exams starting tomorrow. I hope she could pass, she has been weak in her Maths this year. Kinda worry about her.

Although, I seldom post here, but from time to time, I will update my status/feeling using Twitter. So you can see the updates at the side. Or alternatively, check out my facebook, I’m spending more time there nowadays, hooked on the games la.. Kekekeke

Din realise that I’ve not been updating my blog… Life has been busy… Expressing milk already took up most of my time. Not only this, I’ll try to catch a nap if I can, if not I’ll not be able to wake up for the night feeding.

Happening since my last post.
We celebrated Zac’s Full Month on the 5th of April. Thanks to those who attended this small event.
We celebrated S’s birthday in her school. She has fun celebrating with her classmates.
Zac suppose to take his Hep B shot today, however, I’m still concern on his jaundice as he still looks yellow. So we did a jaundice test and the level is 10, which is not serious. However to be safe also, we took the blood test to test the liver. Hopefully the result is good and nothing bad is going on.

Life has been so different with a newborn around. Sometimes, I wonder if I’m able to cope at all if I don’t have my mom’s help. She is really a pillar to me. Helping me care for the kids, cook for me and my family. Really appreciate her a lot.
