Last of the 20s…

It was my birthday yesterday! Spent the morning struggling with the PM2S system and then had a meeting in school from 2-6pm. The husband was really sweet and came back with Ramly burgers, birthday cards and my favourite Cedele carrot cake. He also did the night shift which was great cos the little cranky baby woke up a couple of times to feed. Received lots of well-wishes through SMS (Thank you, Chee Han, Boon Siang, Adrian Tay, Qi, Fifi, Dad, Rence, Liz, Jansen, Jinrong, Tim, Debs, Nick, Pam, Gek Lee Aunty, Stanley, Des Loo, Lin Ser, Ardi, Amy, Wee How, Matt, Huixin, Xin and the in-laws!)and on Facebook (Thank you, Alice, Shaffie, Lizah, Fiona, Von, Gerald, Karen, Deborah, Shan, Adeline, Mak, Sarita, Des Yuen, Wendy, Stan, Bryan, Grace, Des Tan, Esther, Denvy, Thomas, Colin, Khunghui, Yongni, Kylie, Eugene, Suzie, Sharon, Trisha, Pam, Lin, Bianca & Fred!). Probably the quietest birthday I’ve had in years but I am happy. :)


Cake, Mummy?

Yum…

It’s been a pretty good birthday week. Had Father’s Day dinner with my family on Fri and then with Adrian’s folks on Sunday. Went to 10 at Claymore at the Pan Pacific Orchard for the 1-for-1 buffet lunch with Selena on Tuesday. We had fun eating and talking about our mad babies and husbands. Wednesday was Transformers for Adrian and I, and I’m having dinner with my colleagues tonight! :)

N.B. I know Michael Jackson died on my birthday but that’s really not my fault. :|

Evil Anya

Anya slept from about 9pm last night all the way to about 5am this morning! That’s like 8 hours! She usually needs a feed after about 4 hours when it’s night-time. But I was so paranoid about her not waking up for her feed that I kept checking on her to make sure that she was breathing ok and everything so I didn’t sleep all that well. I’m really hoping that she’ll sleep through again tonight!

She’s been quite a monster the whole weekend. On Saturday, she nearly drove me to suicide/ murder! It must be something she inherited from Adrian because his mum said that she wanted to fling him out of the window when he was a baby because he was so difficult. According to my grandma, I was a very good baby. :) The day started off quite well and we went to Raffles City together and she napped most of the time there. She started getting cranky on the way back on the train AGAIN. I think she really hates public transport. Then it was impossible to put her down for a nap for the next 4 hours and she kept screaming her head off.

On Sunday, she fussed through most of our Father’s Day lunch so Adrian, his parents, Fifi and I had to take turns carrying her and walking around. She was quite cranky the rest of the day as well.


Unshaven and tired daddy with grumpy baby

We decided to go against our principles and bought her a pacifier to see if it would soothe the savage beast. When we put it into her mouth, she went from “Hmm?” to “Hmm..” and finally to “Hmmph!” She hates her pacifier.


What is the meaning of this??

Of course, when the Ah Ma got here this morning, our little monster made it a point to deceive her grandma into thinking that she’s an angel. She was all smiles and napped so soundly between feeds. Grr. When the grandma popped out for a bit to buy something, she woke up and became a monster again!! Just for that, I’m not going to bring her along when I have lunch with her Auntie Selena tomorrow!

Hello Bailey!

On Sunday, we went to Gleneagles to visit our church friends and their newborn son, Bailey. At one point, Bailey who had just finished nursing, was still making little sucking motions with his mouth like a fish. So cute!

Anya turns around to say “Hi!”

Anya is clearly fever-free
