Momma!!

I'm out. Alone! No Hub n no bub! First time since I started my leave!!!

Sunay has been going through massive separation anxiety, even crying when I went to the toilet at hm! But today, he waved bye n smiled!! I almost choked up cuz I'm a silly girl! Wonder who's going through separation anxiety now!?

Let's see how tonight pans out...

Sunay's fever finally broke last night n he woke up feeling quite cool... Since then he's been ever more active :)

Still not eating much though... Due to the swollen molars I guess :) hope they pop out soon and his sunshiney nature returns!

Lovely to see him so cheerful today after the crankiness of the past 2-3 days though!

Adore my sunay babyyyyy!

Sunay seems to be feeling better given the fact that he's more active today. Good news in itself of course; but also good news cuz otherwise I'm running out of leave days for childcare, sigh.

For a supposedly pro-family country, how on earth can six days a year be sufficient? I think I've used 4 days in less than 4 months! No one wants their child to be sick, how can you set a cap on it? As long as there is an mc, leave should be granted!!

Sunsay's gonna turn one soon and i've not blogged in ages, mainly due to severe lack of time once i went back to work.

Today though Sunay has a fever, first time ever (other than a mild one after his first hexa jab). I feel so helpless when i feel his little body so warm and his usually cheerful nature more cranky. In addition, the little baby's molars are coming out (which means he's gonna have a gap between incisors and molars til the incisors come out), his gums are SOO swollen! he won't even let me put my finger in his mouth, how to put teething gel like that?

I feel so mean, i have to feed his paracetamol syrup which he hates and i have to force the dropper in his mouth, paste on a fever patch and then restrain him from pulling it off, flush out his nose with sterimar sodium solution, put illiadin drops in his nose, and give him cold sponge baths...all uncomfortable, all make him cry and squirm and make me feel like the worst mummy in the world.

sigh.

Dear Sunay,

Please know that i would never want to ever intentionally make you cry or hurt you. Sometimes you look at me like you cannot believe that i would want to make you drink some icky pink medicine, but baby boy, it's for your own good, i swear!!

I love you beyond belief Sunay, more than i thought myself capable of loving. Thank you for teaching me that i m capable beyond what i thought i was.

love,
Mummy

9 weeks since i last posted, about the same length of time i've been back at work!

It's been tough in its own way and rewarding in its own. Today my kids got to know their status regarding promotion, i think i feel sadder than them... i wish they could see that not all the time they have made right decisions and sometimes its ok to backtrack and try to travel down another path...

sigh.

Sunay just turned 6 mths old! I know its HALF A YEAR but it doesnt really feel like it, i feel like it was just yesterday that i was pregnant and dreading starting practicum. Recently i have read a number of mommy blogs discussing syndromes that these mommies just realised their kids have... Sunay to me is so perfect that i would shatter if something like that happened.

These days sunay takes 3 meals, porridge, khichdee, cereals like barley, wheat, rice, etc. I'll try oat soon. He likes heinz' organic vanilla custard with cheese and fruit! He doesnt like baby yoghurt much but i think he's getting more used to it as i perservere is trying to force calcium down his throat since he only wants milk at 4 hour intervals and im a paranid bunny.

He enjoys tu,my time these days but his arms need more strength before he can start crawling... although he prefers to try 'walking'. hehe. maybe he'll be like me and start walking early too... :)

He's got 2 bottom teeth and a top one sprouting soon, bonjela is my BFF!

Mummy met Aunty Lin for lunch today and sweet aunty lin got me this cute cap and a cuter-still romper which i will wear when mummy takes me to visit aunty lin!

Mummy has tried to make me wear many hats and caps over time but i refused, maybe i wanted this one eh?

Thanks again Aunty Lin and have a lovely pregnancy, can't wait to have a new friend to play with!

So from 13 august (Thursday) I've been giving sunay apple juice everyday, til sunday. He liked it after the initial shock of the new taste.

Being adventurous, monday i offer him apple puree... most of it ends up on his clothes and face and my clothes... but he has a couple of spoons of it. Since i had him in my map during this experiment, i didn't get to appreciate his reactions.

Today i did apple puree again! This time i put him in his high chair to protect my clothes and i bibbed him to protect his! I think apple puree is rather sour or rather tart (it seemed super sweet although with a tarty aftertaste to me) so he doesn't slurp it up but he tolerated it for a couple of spoonfuls.

Shall repeat this tomorrow and then do apple custard before moving to pears!
