Home Alone...with Lil Shauna

I had a super duper busy weekend. My Mum had gone to Genting and Daddy Lim was super busy at work. On both Sat & Sun, he worked from early morning till about 5pm. I was left alone with Lil Shauna. I always maintain that I can take care of Lil Shauna alone but choose not to if I have a choice. It is seriously no joke, super tiring to watch over her 24/7 and to entertain and play with her. However, wat needs to be done will have to be done.


Lil Shauna woke up at 6am on Sat morning. After her milk and some play, I brought her for a walk in her stroller.


She may not look exactly happy, but I assure you that she enjoys her morning walk. I lie not. I enjoy the walk and so must she, hehe. Moreover, there are so many things strapped to the stroller to entertain her. She must be happy.


After the walk, it was shower time, followed by more milk, more play and short naps here and there according to the princess' liking. When it was time to express, I had to put her on the bed with lots of toy. I would sit and express beside the bed and entertain her at the same time. Luckily, I have long ago mastered the art of expressing with one hand. That leaves me with the other to pacify the baby when need be.


In the afternoon, Auntie AZ invited us to her place to munch on goodies. So we set off in a sling. There was so much nice food to munch on. Poor baby can only see and wait for me to digest the food in order to taste them. Hehe. Li Shauna was very much smiley. The other aunties came late and didnt have much chance to play with her before she fell asleep. Auntie AZ took a pix with Lil Shauna. She knew that I would post it and was glad that Lil Shauna blocked her partially. Shy auntie. She loves Lil Shauna's chubby cheek and thunder thigh. For the nth times, Lil Shauna is not fat. She's ideal weight hor.



After we left Auntie AZ's place, Lil Shauna woke up demanding more milk and play. That left me totally exhausted. I was so, so, so glad when Daddy Lim finally came home.

Daddy Lim left for work early Sun morning too. Lil Shauna and I went for our morning walk again. This time, we ventured further, to the kopitiam across the road so that I can sneak on a tau bao. I knew that I would soon die at Lil Shauna's hands if I continue taking care of her alone. So, I ended up in a cab with Lil Shauna to nai nai's place. I actually wanted to take the MRT but was trying to figure out how to get to the station with the stroller. Eventually, God gave me a signal that I should let the cab uncle earns some $$ by covering the sky with dark clouds. That weakens my already shaken confidence to take public transport with Lil Shauna.

It is actually the 1st time that I was ever at Daddy Lim's parents' place without him. Hmmm.. the baby really helped me to achieve many "1st time", which would otherwise not happen.

Nai nai was very happy to Lil Shauna. She not at all mind us disturbing her. I didnt had much rest too, but at least there was somebody to help look after Lil Shauna while I express. Daddy Lim only left work at 4pm. Again, I was so glad to see him.

I was so happy to go back to work this morning. I simply dun experience any Monday blues. Maybe that's one of the perks for having a baby. ;p
