Yday was a horrible day. Lil Shauna was noisy and fussy at home and Daddy Lim and I decided to bring her out to jp. She's usually well behave when she's outside and was for a large part of it yday. However, she peed in her pants when we were right in front of the toilet bowl. -.o" And while I was shopping for new panties for her, she wanted to poo poo. While she was at it, there was no toilet paper and I had no hp. I had to leave her in the handicap toilet while I ran to find Daddy Lim for my bag and tissue. The whole toilet affair drained me, but I know it is part of toilet training.
Then, she had to whine for new toys, which I refused and sparked her non-stop whining until we were home. I don't understand why she cannot talk properly. Haiz. Her whining thins my patience and I would have spank her if she pushed my limit a little more. Fortunately for her, she didnt push her luck too far.
When we were home, I was already tired from the mental torture. The Lil Isaac was wailing non-stop bcos he was being bottle fed. He refuses to drink from the bottle and was crying non-stop, refusing to suck. He rather cries and goes hungry while the milk tickled down the side of his mouth. -.o" My mum was frustrated too and kept nagging that we have to bottle train him, alternating between latching and bottle feeding him. Ok lor, I never say that I dont allow bottle feeding mah. I know that she was also tried from the battling with the baby and kept making sarcastic remark. I kept quiet, I know I will blow if I were to talk back then.
It is times like that that I hate my mum's routines. She set crazy routines that drive me crazy. Her all-must-shower-immediately-after-we-come-back, otherwise we are "dirty" and cannot touch the kids (if the kids have showered or did not go out). Her everything-that-have-been-brought-outside-must-wash theory. Her maid-must-throw-rubbish-in-the-night-and-must-immediately-go-shower rule. Her all-these-clothes-must-be-handwashed-and-cannot-be-machine-wash rule. The list goes on. And it is impossible to change her. These routines had been with her for donkey years. She brought them to my brother's house and now to my house. -______-" I am familiar with all these but they dont bother me in the past bcos I can simply turned a deaf ear and hid in my room then. Now, it is impossible bcos she made the maid follow her rules. She just cannot let go and rather that we all go into some mad frenzy following the routines, setting off crying kids, all to get "clean". Arrgghh, how contaminated can the outside be?
I can only rant to Daddy Lim and my sis and close both eyes. We are in a delicate situation. We need her, especially after I go back to work. it is really no joke looking after 2 kids and we need her help. Haiz. It sets me wondering. How did my SIL tolerates her all these years huh? Her "ren gong" must be top notch. Or maybe it is simply getting used to. I am used to being the lady of the house and doing things my way until my mum comes in and disrupt the way things are done? Maybe I will get used to them one day... or so I hope.
Then again, other than the crazy routines, nagging and sometimes senseless comments, she's really great. Doing things and helping me that only a mummy will do for her kids. I still love her, just need to complain about her at times. Hohoho. I wonder, 30 years down the road, will Lil Shauna and Lil Isaac complain about me being a pain in their neck like how I am complaining now. I think so. Hohoho.

Learning Fast
Lil Shauna is picking up new things everyday. This is her trying to nurse her friend.
And we have been telling her bedtime stories, most of them made up. She will help by chosing the characters and what they do in these stories. On rare occasions, when she's in a good mood, she tells us bedtime stories too. Hohoho.

Smart!
Kids are so smart now. Lil Shauna knows exactly when she can push my limits and when she has to behave. The former happens everyday and latter only when she sees big carrot dangling.
She literally helps me boils my blood when she:
- Insists that only mummy can do ______ for her and must do it now or she kicks up a big fuss;
- Cries and throws tantrum when she cannot get her way, yet can act as if nothing happens (as if there was no tantrum) when she finally had her way;
- Refuses to take "no" for an answer;
- Refuses to shower or refuses to get out of the shower;
- Refuses to wear clothes or insist on a dirty piece or an unsuitable piece;
- Insists on wearing unsuitable clothes to go out;
- Makes unreasonable demands before naps or bedtime, especially when I am dead tired.
Of course the list goes on. This morning, she was at it again, insisting that I make milk for her and helped her to at the potty while I was latching Lil Isaac. I couldnt and she cried and whined until I meet her demand.
A quick check with the rest of the mummies shows that I am not alone. I guess it is a growing phase that they all have to go through and we have to tahan. Meanwhile, I just have to let my blood boils. Then again, Lil Shauna will cooperate when she sees benefit of doing so and of course a little threat helps as well.
Yday, we brought her to Safra to play at the indoor playground. I was slinging Lil Isaac and we told her that she has to sit in her stroller or we will not go. Of course she obediently sat in it, no fuss at all.
Some days ago, Daddy Lim and I wanted to bring her for bfast. She insisted on wearing some unsuitable clothes and refused to change into some random pieces that I took from her drawer until we threatened to leave her at home and even pretend to step out of the house. Almost immediately, she chased after us with the pieces that I picked for her in her hands, asking me to help her change.
Haiz, suddenly, I wish that the kids will grow up.

Pregnancy Brain
My memory was horrible when I had Lil Shauna. My work station was full of post it then, reminding me of the outstanding tasks. Thankfully, I regained some brain power after I delivered but i think it took awhile.
When I had Lil Isaac, I was forgetful but nothing close to the time when I was carrying his jiejie. However, it is super bad now, as if I have given part of my brain to him. I am so forgetful. -.o"
It is no joke packing for 2 kiddos. Not only do we take much more time to get ready, it is tough trying to pack while getting the kids ready plus pacify and entertain them while they wait. It doesnt help that there are so many more things to bring.
Yday, we went to attend Baby V's full month bash. My mum brought Lil Shauna to Centris for a swim in the morning. I was trying to coax Lil Isaac to nap and was packing in between latches. While latching, I even mentally go through the items to see if I missed out anything. Apparently, it doesn't help.
Once out of the house and at the void deck, I remembered that we forgot the stroller. We went upstairs to retrieve it. At Centris, I remembered that we forgot the hot water flask. We had to borrow from my SIL.
All went well until we attended the bash and left. I was latching Lil Isaac when we were leaving and was trying to pacify him plus make sure that Lil Shauna is ok. I forgot to check if we took everything. We only realized that we left my bag with my wallet and hp at the celebration when Mummy YF called to inform us. -.o" I cannot believe how forgetful I am. As a result, we had to drive back and pick up the stuff at the end of the day with 2 very tired kiddos. Silly goose mummy.

So Shy
Lil Shauna will be completing her term with her current playgroup today and she has to miss school. She was given a certificate and her teachers made an assessment of her. Of course the assessment is generally pleasant, I mean, why would the teachers thrashed a 2 yo?
From the assessment, it is obvious that she doesn't fare well in areas that requires her to communicate with others. She's not participative in songs and dance too. The teachers commented that she's shy but likes story time and craft work best. All that were said are exactly what we noted of her too. At least we know that the teachers paid attention to her in school. Awwww, I love her teachers.
It is strange how Lil Shauna will clamp up in class especially during song and dance lessons but will sing like anything at home for us. I am forever wondering why is she so shy. I remember I wasn't this shy when I was young. Daddy Lim remembers that he was shy but not sure if he was this shy. For awhile, I was worried that her shyness could affect her learning as she's not participative but she appeared to be learning well. We duno how to help her overcome her shyness, we have brought her to so many classes but she's still so shy and takes a long time to warm up. She will be clinging to us for her dear life when the rest of the kids are already running around. -_____-"
So, why is she so shy? I think it is really in the genes. I have heard about how Fione is shy in front of teachers and while in classes (all kind of classes) and I witnessed it myself last Tuesday. I signed Lil Shauna up for a free trial art creative class in Safra and Fione was attending some other classes in the same place. We arrived at the venue and Fione had just finished her class and waiting for my brother to pick her up. She was doing some colouring and smiled at us when we arrived. Lil Shauna joined in the colouring too. Three of Fione's teachers were trying to make her communicate with them but she just clamped up, just like how Lil Shauna would react in strangers' presence. They tried for a long while but Fione just refused to speak. She refused to even speak to me. I basically see a duplicate of Lil Shauna in her. -.o"
And when Lil Shauna went for her trial class, she refused to let me leave the classroom. It was supposed to be an independent class, i.e., no mummy but I didnt get a chance to escape. She wasnt willing to participate initially. She only did with lots of encouragement from the teacher and me. She took a long time to warm up and whispered replies to teh teacher's questions after a long time. Well, at least she's willing to talk.
After the trial, I was hestitate to sign her up for the class. Maybe she is not really. The trial was an one-to-one but it is usually one teacher to 4 kids and if there wasnt so much attention and prompting from the teachers, I am worried that Lil Shauna will end up wasting her time and my money in the class. Then again, I thought the independent class will be a good avenue to train her for pre-nursery next year. Hmm.. let me think again and ask the princess if she's really interested.

Bad Night
I am used to night feeds and had been handling all the night feeds since Lil Isaac's arrival. My mum or Auntie MA may sometimes help when Lil Isaac wails badly but I am dead asleep but otherwise, I am handling alright. Lil Isaac now wakes up about 2x per night, 3 to 4 hourly apart. On good nights, he fall asleep after feed and he is usually good.
BUT, I hate it when both the kiddos have to wake up at the same time! Lil Shauna doesn't usually wake up in the night but when she does, she is usually crying and screaming for mummy.
Last night, and Daddy Lim's 1st night away, the kiddos had to wake up at the same time, not once but TWICE! The 1st time, I had latched Lil Isaac on one side and was changing his diaper and soiled clothes while I heard Lil Shauna calling for me. I have to ask Popo and Auntie MA to continue with the baby while I attended to the toddler. Luckily, she fell asleep shortly.
The 2nd time, Lil Shauna woke me up. I have no idea what time it was until my alarm clock rang and it means trouble bcos it is supposed to be Lil Isaac's feed time. I was trying to tuck Lil Shauna back to sleep when I heard Lil Isaac's cries. -.o" Yes, Lil Isaac can be as accurate as the clock at times.
Auntie MA tried to help but she neither has my breasts nor can give the attention that Lil Shauna wanted. I tried to latch didi and pat jiejie at the same time. Auntie MA tried to help by taking over whoever that is more willing. We struggled for an hour before both kiddos fell asleep.
By then, it was 6am and I decided to go for a jog. My mum had been reminding me for so many times that I am fat and asking how am I gg to lose weight. Then again she cooked so much good food for me during confinement and kept asking me to eat. I think I ate a whole pig, a whale and 3 dozens of chicken during my confinement. Like that how to lose weight? I had wanted to swim but swimming takes too much time. When I had Lil Shauna, I was able to sneaked out for an hour of aerobics while my mum helped to look after her. Now that there are 2, whatever free time that I have is spent sleeping. Hohoho. My mum suggested jogging instead and i thought that it was a good idea, just that I am laaazzzzyyyy...
I changed and put on my sister's running shoes (mine was spoilt a long time ago and I didnt get new ones bcos I stopped exercising, oops) and was initially worried about the stadium not opened yet or too quiet but my worries were unfounded. The stadium opens at 4.30am and there were already so many people at 6am! I joined the crowd and it was funny how we were all running in circles, in the same direction like hamsters. Hoho. I did 4 slow rounds and felt great. Hehe. At least I got started.
Now, I know what I want for Christmas. I need a new pair of running shoes, a new sports bra and a radio receiver. Pappy, I will buy them 1st and charge them to your account hor. Huhuhu.
Mummy Lim
Update:
Lil Shauna woke up with a fever!! No wonder she woke up 2x in the night, must have felt terrible. She measured 38.5 degrees when she 1st woke up and felt less warm thereafter. She measured 38.6 degrees at the clinic and we brought back so many types of medicine. I think her mucus is coming and will soon bring along cough. It was fortunate that Daddy Lim is overseas and i get the car. I drove wor. Hehe, so proud of myself.
I hope the fever goes away soon. She wasnt as cranky as I expected her to be, but night times are usually teh worse. I am keeping my finger crossed.

Business Trip
Daddy Lim is flying off for a short business trip. He will be back on Sat morning. It has been a while since either one of us went for business trip and the 1st since Lil Isaac's arrival.
Hmmm... I miss him already. And I am worried about the nights without him. Whenever Lil Shauna is difficult in the evenings, Daddy Lim is a great help and can pacify her more than Popo or Auntie MA. And he sometimes help me to entertain the princess before bed time so that I can steal some rest before the start of my night shift. I am sure that I will survive, just hoping that I won't grow extra white hair.
As for Daddy Lim, he says that he will miss us but will also enjoy these few peaceful days without the kids. -.o" Win liao.

Gang Up
I had a tiring night and was desperate to catch a nap this morning. Lil Shauna showed no mercy and I had no chance until she left for school. Lil Isaac was sleeping peacefully while jie jie monkey around. But he woke up instantly when jie jie stepped out of the house for school despite not his feed time yet. He ganged up with jie jie to bully me.
I brought him to the room and nursed him on my bed, hoping that he will fall back asleep. I didn't had much luck after struggling with him for 45mins. Then he poo poo so much that he stained his clothes and the bedsheet. The bedsheet was newly changed the very morning bcos I fell asleep and forgotten to put on diaper for Lil Shauna last night and she peed on our bed. -.o" I cannot help but believe that the siblings are out to torture me. Hoho.
Lil Isaac was very much alert after I clean him up and I was very dead. He went 'eh, eh, eh', demanding attention while I played dead beside him. He finally drifted off to sleep after I latched him again and I immediately concussed beside him until 1 hour later, awoken by Lil Shauna's shout for me. All good things must come to an end. :p
Oh, we need Febreeze with all the pee and poo and milk on our bed and sofa. I was very much taken in by the advertisement but didn't seem to see the product. Ah yee helped me hunt but couldn't find it in ntuc too. We are sleeping and sitting on dried pee/ poo/ milk and germs until we get febreeze. And ah yee complains that our room and the sofa stinks big time. Can kill 99.9% germs leh. The tv says one.

Finding Nemo
We bought Finding Nemo DVD for Lil Shauna a few months back and I watched it with her then. She didn't show much interest but is so crazy over it now! Whenever we tell her that she can watch tv, she will go for Nemo, despite having watched it just in the morning or for the 2658 times. -.o" She looks so interested each time she watches it, asking why this and that or telling me what she sees on the tv.
Me? I am bored to death. I tried selling her other DVDs but she insisted on Nemo. Haiz, I am now watching Nemo again. -.o" Give me Barney or High 5 anytime. At least I can sing along.

The Bed
I think there is something magical about our bed. Maybe some smells that only the kids can pick up? Lil Shauna loves our bed and sleeps on it with me and kicks Daddy Lim to the ti-lam on the floor.
Lil Isaac now sleeps in his small rocker bed but he loves our bed too. He can sleep 3 solid hours when I put him on our bed! Just a few days ago, I was dead tired and tried to steal a nap. I placed a wide awake Lil Isaac beside me on the bed and he actually drifted off to sleep on his own. Hehehe.
And now, he is enjoying our bed while I am enjoying the peace. Hoho.

Lil Isaac's Full Month Bash
Finally, the end of my confinement. Then again, other than food, I don't really follow confinement rules. Hohoho, I probably drive my mum crazy. I had to run between home and hospital for both Lil Shauna and Isaac. I bath daily or risk stinking the kids to death and I washed my hair every few days. Seriously, in this weather, being sweaty, smelly and oily is something that I can do without.
The end of my confinement also marks Lil Isaac's full month bash. The 1st born somehow always gets better treatment. Lil Isaac's bash was on a much smaller scale, we only invited family and close friends. And to make sure that Lil Shauna doesn't feel left out, she gets to choose the party theme. We had a barney cake and barney balloons.
There was a simple "Happy Birthday song" plus blow candle plus cake cutting ceremony for the older kids while Lil Isaac had his milk. Each of the kid took turn to blow the candle and cut cake. It was funny how Lil Isaac was not part of the celebration during his party, but I dun think he mind at all. Milk was more important to him than anything else.
We also got a bouncer for the older kids.
I think Lil Shauna had a lot of fun. The kids were happy playing with the toys too. It was fortunate that we have so many toys to go around. The baby room was in a mess, filled with kids and toys.
I was just really glad that Lil Shauna doesnt stick to me and I get to do lots of catching up with friends. Hehe. And strangely, Lil Isaac was much alert for the main part of his celebration. When Lil Shauna had hers, she slept through her celebration and only woke up for milk when most of the guests left. She was peacefully asleep in her cot most of the time. This time, bcos Lil Isaac was so awake, he was passed around. Again, I was glad that there are people to entertain him and kept him busy while I enjoy myself. Hohoho.
He only fell asleep when most of the guest left in the early evening and he was really tired by then.
And while the prince slept on, the jiejies were happily opening his presents. To make sure that Lil Shauna doesnt feel left out, we got her presents too. She also received presents from Grandauntie, ah yee and Auntie J.
We all had an early night. It was seriously tiring to entertain guests. Although we only had family and close friends, the number was just nice for our humble little place and we finished most of the buffet food. Hehehe. And Lil Shauna skipped her nap for the 2nd time in her entire life. I am always strict about her taking her afternoon nap cos I still think that it is important for her to have a routine at this age. But mummy was too busy to tuck her in for her nap that day. Bad mummy. And there was too much fun for the princess to miss.
I am glad that the simple celebration went well. I didnt really put much effort into organising it, no fannciful decorations, no long guest list, no special effort. I love parties and get-together but I guess it will be a long time before we had such parties again.

The end of my confinement also marks Lil Isaac's full month bash. The 1st born somehow always gets better treatment. Lil Isaac's bash was on a much smaller scale, we only invited family and close friends. And to make sure that Lil Shauna doesn't feel left out, she gets to choose the party theme. We had a barney cake and barney balloons.
There was a simple "Happy Birthday song" plus blow candle plus cake cutting ceremony for the older kids while Lil Isaac had his milk. Each of the kid took turn to blow the candle and cut cake. It was funny how Lil Isaac was not part of the celebration during his party, but I dun think he mind at all. Milk was more important to him than anything else.
We also got a bouncer for the older kids.
I think Lil Shauna had a lot of fun. The kids were happy playing with the toys too. It was fortunate that we have so many toys to go around. The baby room was in a mess, filled with kids and toys.
I was just really glad that Lil Shauna doesnt stick to me and I get to do lots of catching up with friends. Hehe. And strangely, Lil Isaac was much alert for the main part of his celebration. When Lil Shauna had hers, she slept through her celebration and only woke up for milk when most of the guests left. She was peacefully asleep in her cot most of the time. This time, bcos Lil Isaac was so awake, he was passed around. Again, I was glad that there are people to entertain him and kept him busy while I enjoy myself. Hohoho.
He only fell asleep when most of the guest left in the early evening and he was really tired by then.
And while the prince slept on, the jiejies were happily opening his presents. To make sure that Lil Shauna doesnt feel left out, we got her presents too. She also received presents from Grandauntie, ah yee and Auntie J.

First Field Trip
Felicia's school organized a field trip to the Yakult factory and some Pastamania outlet. Families were invited and I signed Lil Shauna for the trip too. So yday, a happy Lil Shauna joined Fione and Felicia for her very first field trip, under the supervision of Auntie MA, Auntie Breth (my brö's maid) and my SIL. I remembered how I used to lose school when the night before such school excursions. Hehehe.
The excursion was from 9am to 2pm with pasta lunch provided. The participants get to see how Yakult is manufactured and to make a pizza. I don't know if Lil Shauna enjoyed herself, she didn't show much interest when I asked her to help me baked cookies the last time. Well, Lil Shauna said that she did and I was glad to have that few hours of peace.
Lil Shauna came back with her masterpiece.
For some reasons, Auntie MA said that it is inedible. Maybe dirty hands or dropped onto the floor or undercooked? So, her masterpiece went into the dustbin after the photo and Lil Shauna didn't seem to mind at all. -.o"

Not Handsome Liao
Lil Isaac kena baby acne. It started recently and he had small pimples all over his face, mainly his cheek n forehead. There are some on his neck, body and arms too. We tried cleaning with water, applying lotion but it didn't seem to help. To add on to the problem, he developed cradle cap! Cradle cap usually affects the scalp but could appear on the face and ears too and Lil Isaac got his on his eyebrow. -_____-" The skin at his eyebrow is all flaky and it looks pretty painful. Poor Lil Isaac.
I am not exactly worried cos these are the common baby problems. They just take time to heal by themselves, Lil Shauna suffered from cradle cap too. But Popo is upset. She kept harping on the fact that he won't look good at his full month bash today. Hohoho. What to do, Lil Isaac never inherit my pretty genes. :p Come to think of it, he is really quite poor thing. When we had Lil Shauna, we took so many pix of her everyday. Lil Isaac paled so much in comparison. I had so much problem trying to find a nice pix of him to put in the card for the full month cake package. Hohoho.

First Official Outing
We finally brought Lil Isaac out yday, his 1st official outing. Bo bian, Popo couldnt take my nagging and allowed me to go out + bring Lil Isaac along. It is really tough trying to bring 2 kids out. We spent almost an hour getting myself and the kids ready and it was chaotic. When we are almost leaving the house, Lil Isaac had to choose that time to be hungry and cried non-stop. I had to latch him while walking when I have yet to master the art of nursing him outside lor. -.o"
While in the car, Lil Shauna had to insist to sit on mummy's lap while I nursed Lil Isaac. Then it was more waiting for my brother's family to be ready. We drove my brother's car instead bcos ours was too small. We were joking that the next car should be a 20 seater mini bus. Hohoho.
We brought Lil Shauna to an indoor playground at Kallang Leisure Park and she had great fun. She needed minimal supervision and was happily climbing up the structure and down the slide. daddy Lim and I took care of Lil Isaac and relax one corner most of the time. Lil Isaac was drowsy and chose to sleep most of the time. I even had to wake him up to nurse and he fell asleep shortly. I was worried that my breasts might burst. Hohoho.
It was managble overall but I think a little too long for Lil Isaac. We left the house at 10+am and only reached home at 6pm. Gosh, I was exhausted by then. I fell asleep on the sofa at 7pm until 9pm to tuck the princess to bed. And I was right about Lil Isaac taking revenge in the night. He slept so much and nursed so little in the day and he woke up for milk at 11pm, 1am, 3am, 5am, 6am and nursed at 8am, 9am and even 10am. -_______-" And he often latches for comfort and will latch for 10 mins on only one side and fall asleep again. No amount of tickling can wake him. I was also too tired to try to wake him and was grateful that he wasnt wide awake after nursing but pissed that he woke up so many times yet nurse so little, robbing me of my beauty sleep.
I am tired, I better catch some sleep before Lil Isaac wakes up for milk again and before the princess comes home and demands my attention. Zzzzzz... Oh ya, must practic emore and learn how to latch Lil Isaac outside.

Dirty Post
Last night, Lil Shauna went to bed diaperless and I fell asleep after tucking her in. I forgot that she was diaperless and to help her put on diaper when I woke up for the 1st night feed. In the end, she wet our bed. She 'fell' on Daddy Lim who was sleeping on the mattress on the floor and he felt her wet butt. He changed her and helped her put on diaper. So nice of him.
Then, during one of the night feeds, I smelled Lil Isaac's poo poo while latching him. As he appeared to not want to poo poo some more, I changed his diaper. I put him on the sofa and just as I cleaned his butt and took away the soiled diaper, he gave an explosive poo poo with a loud fart! It was so loud that both I and Lil Isaac jumped. And he soiled the sofa. -.o"
So, I have a soiled bed and sofa in one night. -.o"

Weird Dress Sense
I miss those times where Lil Shauna will don anything that I make her to. I will dress her up so nicely before we go gai gai and I will be uber proud of her. She has come to a stage where she wants to be independent and wants to chose what she wants to wear. It is a torture EVERYDAY after shower cos it will be so tough to coax her to wear something. She will run around naked or take ages to choose what she wants or cannot decide what she wants or insist that she wants to wear something that is in the laundry or wear something that is totally unsuitable, like a jacket. It just drives us crazy. So, we now have a situation where she will wear gaigai clothes at home and insist that she wants to wear home clothes to go gai gai. -___________-"
Now, we have to get her approval before we buy something for her and that still doesnt mean that she will wear it. But if it is something that she doesnt want, we can be sure that they can sit in the drawer to collect dust until such a time that she grew too big for them. Faint.
It irritates me even more that she will pick only that few pieces to wear despite all the great and nice clothes that I buy for her. The nice clothes are just collecting dust despite my numerous attempts to "sell" them to Lil Shauna. She insist that she doesnt want to wear them. Now I understand why some kids can have a great wardrobe but always end up wearing that same few pieces.
Just today, I spent almost an hour coaxing her to change into proper attire. 1st, she wanted to wear a shirt that is pretty worn out and getting a little too small with a tutu skirt. She is going to an indoor playground with the cousins and I dun see how she's going to climb around in a tutu skirt. I told her that the tutu skirt is not appropriate and she bargained to wear her pyjamas long pants instead. -.o" I took a long time to coax her to change out of the top and skirt and wanted her to pick one of the 2 really nice white tops that I bought for her but she has never worn before with a recently bought new purple Gap shorts. In the end, the shorts was my only success. She still insist on the worn out top. -_______-" Then I tried to help her put on knee length socks but she screamed murder and I have to give in to her demand for some other socks cos we were running out of time. Goodness me, my idea of dressing her in a sleeveless white top and a purple demin shorts with knee length socks totally failed lor. Boohoo. And I dont think I will ever have my way with her liao. This is one of those times that I rejoice at the thought that I have 2 kids. Now, I can at least turn my attention to Lil Isaac and make him wear what I wanted until such a time that he starts resist. Hohoho. But boys clothes are so boring. Haiz.

Orientation
Lil Shauna started attending playgroup in February this year. She took a long time to warm up and still needs auntie MA to stay in the class with her for a short while or we will end up with a crying kid. I heard that she's not very participative in class but will come home and sing for us what she has learnt in school. She can now recognise numbers and some alphabets. Thus, school is good.
Although she adores her teachers, we are switching her to a new school next year. The current playgroup does not focus much on academic aspect. Our princess will be attending pre-nursery and we have signed her up with a church in the Jurong West area. This will also allow her to have exposure to a Christian background at a young age. If the school is good, she will do her nursery and kindergarten years with the school too. The class duration is 3 hours and she will have to take school bus to school. Unlike her current playgroup, parents/ guardians will only be allowed to accompany the kids on their 1st 3 days and they will then be on their own. I shivered at the thought.
Daddy Lim and I brought Lil Shauna to her orientation last Friday. Her new class will probably have about 12 to 16 students and all of them are born in year 2008. As expected, she clamped up and cling on to us the moment we reached the church compound, like what she usually does in an unfamiliar environment. It took us lots of coaxing before she was willing to join the rest at the table to play toys.
And they had mandarin music session and Lil Shauna again adopt her koala bear stance. She refused to stand, refused to participate while the rest of the kids tried to imitate the teacher and dance to the music. Some of the kids looked so much younger than her but she is the only one clinging on to me, refusing to let go. I sense big trouble. She was a little more willing to join in story time and was willing to sit on the mat but refuse to participate when the teacher asked for volunteers. I seriously duno how she will survive school come January 2011. I already foresee alot of crying and I-don't-want-to-go-to-school every morning. Haiz. I should start praying that she will miraculously love to go to school then.
The only big plus point is that the school has a huge outdoor playground with slides and cars and stuff. Lil Shauna came alive when we left the class and saw the playground. All the previous shyness left her. -.o"
I am not sure what she was scared of. The teachers? The crowd? Too many adults? She is fine when she's at the playground or when she saw other kids. We went for breakfast at a nearby MacDonalds after the orientation and she saw a jie jie at the table beside and even asked the jie jie for her name lor. Then she initaite to wave to a mei mei at the table behind us. So why is she so clamped up during class? Haiz, I just hope that she will suddenly overcome all the shyness come January 2011.

2 Kids
It is super frustrating when both kiddos fuss at the same time. The younger one will not stop until I latch him but the older one wouldn't let me go insisting that I play/ carry/ feed/ pat/ sayang/ fill in the blank, while the younger one wails on. Going to the younger one will immediately set on the crying sensor in the older one. -.o"
It is during this time that I wish there are 2 of me or that my breasts can be detached from my body or that the kids have a switch. A switch that allows me to turn one off 1st while I attend to the other one. Seriously, I don't know how to handle them simultaneously. I flipped, throw in the white towel if I have a choice. Heng I still have my mum and helper. Time will pass, they will grow up, things will get better.

Diaper Free
We have been quite successful in toilet training Lil Shauna so much so that she refuses diapers most of the time now including nap and bed time. But seriously, diapers must be really uncomfortable. Lil Shauna always end up with sticky butt when clad in diaper. Then, there is the nasty diaper rash.
We had allowed her to go diaperless most of the time now including nap time but had to help her put on diaper after she's soundly asleep in the night. Cannot lah, too dangerous liao. And I dun think she's ready to wake up in the middle of the night to use the toilet.
She can now hold her pee and only let go every few hours. When she's in good mood, she will tell us that she needs the potty. Otherwise, she still very much required our prompting. There are still many accidents. In fact, she can soil many bottoms a day but at least we are progressing.
Lil Shauna has started to go diaperless in school this week. She peed in class on the 1st day but went accident free subsequently. She still doesn't know how to tell the teachers that she needs the toilet but auntie MA stayed around to make sure that she uses the school toilet during the toilet break. To us, this is a great achievement already. We are hoping that Lil Shauna will be able to go diaper free when she attends pre-nursery next year. Hehe.
And there are episodes that she goes diaper free and without accidents when Daddy Lim brings her to the playground or when ah mah brings her to Centris. Lil Shauna also sometimes goes diaper free in Centris. Hehehe. Hopefully, she can soon go diaperless even when we bring her go gai gai. Yeah!

Forgetful
I was undressing Lil Isaac just now to get him ready for bath. He was lying half naked on the bed, waving his arms and kicking his legs, probably reflexes and looking totally helpless. Suddenly, it dawned on me that I dislike this infancy stage and that there is a long way to go before this squirmy thing will be independent. And I was wondering why did I choose to go through this again. Afterall, I tried this 29 months ago with Lil Shauna and I already knew that I dun like it. -.o"
It must be forgetfulness. -.-" Human beings are plain forgetful. After 2 years, I forgot how painful pregnancy is and how dreadful is it to take care of newborn thus our decision to have one more to torture ourselves. Hahaha.
Maybe I can take comfort that time will pass really quickly and soon Lil Shauna and Isaac will all grow up and I will forget how difficult time had been. Hohoho.

Daddy Lim and His Princess
Daddy Lim has been spending so much more time with the princess now that the little one spent so much time at my breasts. Daddy Lim also took over the role to entertain the princess during the weekends cos I am on confinement and had spent a fair bit of time in the hospital.
He is so confident of handling her now, having tucked her to bed countless times and he even brought her to bicycle shops, West Coast Park, Suntec, swimming, breakfast, window and grocery shopping, etc. And the princess enjoys his company so much. Haiz, I wish to join them in their fun soon.
This was taken during one of those trips. Envy.
I am so proud of Daddy Lim. He used to be pretty distance from Lil Shauna but has become so close to her now. Just yday, the princess threw a tantrum at bedtime and was crying in the baby's room as she insisted for Lil Isaac to sleep with her on the bed in our room. I refused. Not is it too dangerous, we also have enuff on our plate with a bouncy toddler, we dun need another crying baby. Eventually, she asked for Pappy to carry her back to our room wor. I lost favor liao. -.o" Hohoho. But all as well, there is only one me and 2 kids!

Paranoid
We were told to monitor the baby and of course to bring him back to kkh should his fever comes back. He already had 2 doses of the antibiotic orally since home. The antibiotic probably taste yucky cos he gave us funny faces and gag. -.o" he still has 4 doses to go.
Daddy Lim and I are paranoid and kept wondering if Lil Isaac is having a fever. We can't tell. He constantly feels warm to me. I duno if I can trust the thermometer. It didn't give us an accurate reading the last time. We tried using the normal oral thermometer under his armpit like what the hospital does but still doubt the reading. Haiz. He always feel so warm to me when I pick him up for his feed but I am not sure if it is bcos our place is too warm. He feels less warm after a whole, perhaps the fan cooled him down? I didn't dare to wrap him just in case it increases his body temperature.
We go crazy if he sleeps too much or when he falls asleep after sucking for only a short while at my breasts. Boohoohoo. Pls pray that the fever will not come back and if it does, we will have the discernment to bring him back to the hospital.

We Are Going Home!
Yeah, the doctor has cleared us and we are going to be discharged at 1pm. One antibiotic has been stopped and the other will be converted to oral form. We will complete the oral form after we are discharged. I am so happy, I want to do cartwheel.. Ooooooiiiiiiiiii....
Lil Isaac's fever has come down since yday's evening. He is sleeping and feeding well but I think I have more bm than what he needs now. My breasts are full now and he doesn't want to latch. I need to express soon or face bursting breasts. Hoho.
I am glad to go home. Hoho.

The Decision
I spoke to HX and she mentioned that infants below 3 months should not come down with fever. In the event that they do, it is likely to be a bacterial infection rather than a viral fever. Thus, she sees the consultant's point to be cautious and to continue the antibiotic.
Lil Isaac had one dose of the antibiotic orally and was supposed to be given another dose (the other type) via jab. He is such a poor thing to have to take something orally (other than milk) at this young age. The plan was then to decide after we saw the consultant this morning on whether to continue with the antibiotics. But after hearing what HX said, we wavered. At the end of the day, we wanted the best for Lil Isaac.
Daddy Lim and I decided to reset the plug and let Lil Isaac continues with the antibiotic adn make further decision when we see the consultant this morning. The evening doctor came and helped to set the plug smoothly, only 1 attempt and minimal crying. We are glad that we reset the plug cos a low grade fever came back in the night. Somehow, we felt more assured and less paranoid that the low grade fever has anything to do with us stopping the antibiotics.
This morning, the consultant saw Lil Isaac and decided that he will be given antibiotic for one more day. He will be discharged tomorrow evening. Hooray! We will continue with one type of antibiotic orally after he is discharged and the other one will be discontinued. I am just glad that Lil Isaac can go home soon.
My mum will be taking over the night shift tonight. I have seen so little of Lil Shauna recently and heard that she has been looking for me + giving Daddy Lim a hard time. We will be bringing Lil Shauna to visit didi this evening and I am glad that I can tuck her to bed tonight. Well, that is provided that I dont fall asleep before she does lah. Lil Isaac has been really cooperative last night and slept really well, so did mummy. Hoho. I guess night shift for my mum should be pretty easy tonight. We are really grateful for her help. She has either been helping to take the night shift or to take care of Lil Shauna. Without her, I think we die liao.
This is what mummies will do for their kids.. and grandkids too. Hohoho. To think that I treat my mummy so badly at times. *guilty*

To Continue or Not?
The good news - the reports came back negative. The bad news - the consultant wants to be cautious and to complete the antibiotics.
Lil Isaac is currently on 2 kind of antibiotics. Although the test results come back negative, the consultant suspects that there is probably a bacterial infection somewhere, just that it is not picked up. Thus, she is recommending for Lil Isaac to complete the course.
As the results come back negative, we as parents have the right to insist to stop the antibiotics. But it is a tough decision.
The plug on Lil Isaac's foot is no longer usable. We have asked the nurse to take it out. His foot is swollen and both feet are very red. The doctor cannot provide a reason for the redness. His skin is uber dry and he is perling badly. It could be the aircon or the antibiotic side effect. We think it is the latter.
To continue with the antibiotics, the plug has to be reset and it is uber tough to set plug on babies this young as they have really fine veins. He will probably be poked many times to get the plug set. Boohoo. And he still have 7 and 9 doses of antibiotics left. The 9 doses one can be converted to oral form and we can continue to administer after he is discharged. For the other one, it is either via injection or iv and taken 8 hrly apart! To complete the antibiotic, we will probably be here all the way till Sat or even Sun! My heart sank.
Other than side effects and greater immunity to bacterial, there is no adverse effect to put him on antibiotic should there is no infection. But if there is one and we chose to stop the antibiotic, the infection might come back and we will have to start antibiotic again and perhaps even stronger ones.
We are torn. I really want to go home and thought that we can go tomorrow. The stay here is draining all of us. Lil Shauna doesn't get to see much of me, Daddy Lim is shuffling between office, home and hospital, my mum has to help with Lil Shauna and night shift. Haiz. But we all want the best for Lil Isaac. Pls pray for wisdom.

No More Fever?
Lil Isaac's temperature has dropped! He last measured 36.9 degree. Hehehe. My mum took night shift yday and said that he was crying intermittently, asking for milk frequently and poo-ing and peeing so often. My mum didn't get to sleep and I think Lil Isaac slept badly too cos he slept so soundly this morning. I even managed to catch a nap. Either that or he has turned into a night owl. -.o" I think we will have to buy hamsters to play with him at night.
We are still waiting for the 48 hrs report and if it is negative, the doctor will probably keep him in for 1 more night for monitoring. The report should come in today. So, if his temperature remains normal, we will probably get to go home tomorrow. Hooray! I should be taking night shift tonight. Yawn, I feel tired already.

Busted
My mum always become a gan cheong spider whenever one of the kids come down with high fever. She's always worried that the fever will 'damage' their brain. So when Lil Isaac is down with high fever and is still so little, my mum was worried sick. It is worse when there's no medicine to bring down the fever.
When the doctor told us about the possibility of bacterial infection, our imagination run wild and Daddy Lim asked me the same question about fever damaging the brain too. I heard somewhere that there is no such thing about fever damaging brain but decided to ask the doctor.
I was right. Fever is a sign that the body is fighting the bacterial or virus. Fever does not lead to brain damage, it is merely a symptom. Brain damage will occur if there is a brain infection, leading to fever and not treated properly. So, myth busted.
Lil Isaac's fever seems to be subsiding. He last measured 37.2 degrees and is sleeping soundly now with no crying or whimpering while sleeping. I even managed to nap a little in the afternoon. Hehe. But he wants to be carried and I am worried that we are cultivating a bad habit. We will have no time to carry him when we go home.
The nurse told me that the 24 hours blood test result is out and it is negative. The concrete 48 hours result will only be out tomorrow. So, it looks like we have one or two more nights to go. I asked about the brain infection result and was confused. I think I will ask again later. Anyway, I am happy that Lil Isaac is feeling better. That makes me a happy mummy too. Hehe.

Updates on Lil Isaac
His fever is still burning. -.o" I stayed overnight the 1st day and it was bad. We opted for B1 room, which is a 4 bedded room. We wanted a one-bedded ward but Singaporeans must be uber rich cos all the one-bedded wards are taken up! We are in the waiting list and still are. Staying in a 4-bedded ward is like going for some symphony concert, the kids take turn to cry. Lil Isaac was really cranky and kept crying. He must be really feeling uncomfortable, he cried every few seconds and there was nothing I could do but to try to pacify him whenever he cries and try not to disturb the rest too much. But since it is a kids' ward, the other parents are understanding. I barely had any sleep on the 1st night.
His crying continued the whole day and night and was still crying yday. My mum offered to take over the 2nd night so that I can have some rest. I was grateful for the offer. I came back early this am to take over and heard from my mum that Lil Isaac was still crying non-stop the whole night. She never sleep at all and I pity my neighbors. The maid will be taking night shift tonight before the cycle starts again.
The doctors confirmed that it is not urine infection yday afternoon and had taken him off the corresponding antibiotic. The other 2 results should be out today. If all 3 results turned out negative, then it is a viral fever. But the bad thing is that he is too young for panadol and no medicine will be given for his viral fever. We will just have to wait for the fever to go away on its own and it could take up to 5 days! -.o" Today is day 3. And he can only go home when his fever goes away.
He is feeding better already but still not good enuff. I think he probably lost weight. He measured 3.4kg right before he was admitted. I will latch him on demand and tries to express if my breasts still feel full and he doesn't want to latch. The nurses will give him ebm via bottles if I am not on shift. He is starting to drink more regularly and suckle harder when I latch him, but definitely not as regular and long as before he was sick. I am trying to express when he is not with me but nothing works best like the baby. Coupled with the lack of rest, I am worried about dropping milk supply. Haiz. While in the hospital, I am also drinking less fluids and no chance to take my mummy's yummy soup. Hmmm, we can only hope that Lil Isaac recovers quickly and he and I will have to work doubly hard to build back the milk supply. Moooooo.
Prayers please!

Lil Isaac is Sick
P.s - this post was written on Sunday evening but completed only now.
Lil Isaac is admitted to kkh this afternoon for fever. He measured 38.6 degree upon admission and the protocol is to admit all infants below 3 months old with fever above 38.5 degrees for thorough checks. So here I am, spending the night in kkh with him.
I feel super lousy. I found him unusually drowsy 2 nights ago but dismissed it as he was awake and alert last night. I tucked him to bed at 9pm and went to bed at 11pm after tucking the princess to bed. He woke up at 12mn for his 1st night feed and at 2.45am for his 2nd night feed. Thereafter, he refused to be put down and would cry if we tried. This lasted until this afternoon. I didn't get much sleep and was so glad when my mum took over at 6am. He cried intermittently despite us carrying him constantly and the frequency and intensity of his cries increased. We were all at our wits end, not knowing what exactly is wrong with him.
At certain point, I thought he felt warm but I thought it was normal for infants. I tried taking his temperature using the ear thermometer and the reading was normal so I dismissed fever. I had wonder of the reading was accurate since his ear was so small but i did not entertain the thought for long. Then, we thought he was colicky or maybe tummyache but realized that some thing must be wrong when he still kept crying after almost 9 hrs and he refused to feed! He refused to latch after his last feed at 2.45am! He did latch here and there until he was admitted but nothing much than 5mins on one breast.
At kkh, I was shock to realize that Lil Isaac was running a high fever. And I was even more shock when the doctor told me that he has to be admitted. That was when I started crying too. I felt so uber lousy, didn't even realize that my son was running a high fever. I had thought that they would send him home after giving him a Jan or something.
At the ward, the doctor said that they have to take blood, urine and some spinal fluid thingy to test for blood, urine and brain infection respectively. Each of the procedure sounds so uber painful to me. Boohoo! They will also administer antibiotics just in case Lil Isaac had one of the mentioned bacterial infection. The preliminary result will be out in a few hours but the definite result would take 48hrs. They will stop the respective antibiotics if the result turns out to be negative. I am not sure if the antibiotic is harmful to Lil Isaac but the doctors are saying that the benefits will surpass the harm should any of the bacterial infection test turns up positive.
We were emotionally and physically drained and Lil Isaac wouldn't stop crying. In fact, he had cried himself hoarse. Heartache. We are so thankful to have really nice nurses at the ward. While waiting for a bed and doctor to explain what is to come, the nurses offered to take over and calm the crying very badly baby so that we could compose ourselves. The nurses are so friendly and warm and definitely helped to make us feel better.
Poor Lil Isaac. He was still very much cranky and would be alternating between sleeping and crying until now. I felt even more lousy for not able to make him feel better. I feel worse when i thought about Lil Shauna.
When we were home this morning in the room, she was fussy asking me to hug her but I could not oblige bcos I was carrying and latching Lil Isaac. She accidentally kicked Lil Isaac while I was latching him and was disciplined by Daddy Lim. She cried pitifully and was asking for mummy but I was too busy with Lil Isaac to go to her. Sob. And when we were bringing the baby to kkh, she pleaded to go along but we heartlessly left her behind. Double sob. She's such a poor thing since Lil Isaac comes along. I feel so lousy for having to treat her this way. Double sob. I hope she will grow up soon and understand that we love her just as much and we are not forsaking her.
Tonight is the 1st night and there should be a few more to come. Haiz. I hope all things turned out fine eventually. Pls pray for protection and speedy recovery for Lil Isaac.
