Story Telling 1

Everytime he sees the camera, he would stare at it and will not make noise or talk. So, I have to hide behind the story books.
The father is running out of story, hence he came out with his own version of Jack and The Beanstalk.

Wong Dai

We call him "Wong Dai" = King, because when he cries, this little tiger's forehead will have the "Wong" sign.
So we seated him on the bed with the bolster behind to support his back, just like a Wong Dai. Being the naughty active Tiger Cub, he moved so much that he slowly slide to the side.
He struggles to get up but failed. The mummie had to rescue him.

Frighten

Thunder and lighting. Raining cats and dogs here in the late afternoon.
The sudden "cry" of the thunder frightened Gerald Boy each time it strikes. Poor Gerald grabbed hold of his Ye Ye's clothes when he was crying so loud due to the thunder.

So desperate

He woke up at 5AM and making "engine noise" (kek kek kek~~~ his usual sound of catching ur attention) wanting to have milk. I fed him with a little bit of water hoping he would fall asleep again and only feed him milk 2 hours later, but the water isn't enough. He is HUNGRY!!!!!!!
SO I made milk for him, and before I could put the teats into his mouth, his hands came grabing the bottle, pushing it into his mouth~~ Tun and I saw that and we were shocked. He must be very hungry ; ) But it happened once only.

Kai Kai lu

Gerald boy has been sleeping, eating, shitting ~~~ in the house. He hardly step out of the house.
Since he is already 8 weeks old, we thought of bring him out for a walk around our housing area. This is the second time he went out for a walk around the area, as previously he couldn't open his eye due the to sunlight, even though it is already 6pm in the evening :"(

Our 1st time using the carrier. We could have adjust the sitting higher.




































He was pretty excited sitting in there, like baby kangaroo...


















Wasn't sure he felt asleep because it was too comfy or too bored ; (

















After we got home, he shower and relax on his rocking chair with his most loved pacifier. He tried to hold it himself. Clever boy ; )

8 weeks lur~~~

Time really flies.
Gerald boy is already 8 weeks old and he has grown so much.
He looks like he understands what we say when we talk to him.
He cries when he needs something or uncomfortable, but sometimes I will still lose my patience because I do not know what he wants. This is definitely a test for me.
"Gerald boy, mama loves you. Mama say sorry to you for not being able to understand your needs. We try to be patience with each other, teach and learn together k." muaks muaks~~
Decided to teach him call papa and mama, instead of daddie & mummie, tot that would be easier

Papa & Mama bought an oreo cheesecake for my 8 weeks old celebration

















But only papa and mama can eat!! Em chai er (canto)~~~~
Mama said " mau nga pak cannot eat"











Am chilling out on my favourite rocking chair, what are you looking at Hmmm

















Gerald boy loves to suck him fingers, especially his "lower thumb" and index finger, sometimes he is so greedy that he attempted to put his fist into his mouth and sometimes even worse when he tried to put both fist. Of course never succeed, his mouth is not that big lar.

Enjoy!!

Tiger Cub - The 007 "Gerald Chee"

The secret agent Gerald Bond is on an assignment.
He is disguised as a drug dealer, testing the drugs (milk).
He is a professional.
He loves this type of assignment.
He never broke his cover.
















"Wow, Grade A stuff you have there. Take this bag of cash, I will have all of them. When can you give me more? Oh, to further confirm on your quality, I would say it is best to see the production myself. Bring me to your boss, show me your stuff."
(hehe, they are falling into my trap)



















"Hmhmhm~~~ Chief, we will bust them pretty soon. We will crack their nest soon enough. Just give me back-up. About my treat, hehe, you know what to do..."
(I want Grade A Premium Enfalac A+ Milk)















(See, I want best of the best, best milk powder to have a hot bod like this. I need to oozz the ladies, ya know. It's tough work. Don't envy me, you just can't be like me. I am the One and Only Gerald Chee, best of the best, HaHaHa~~~) James Bond is no where if compare to me. Hohoho

It's May d~~

I can't believe it, seriously. It is May already. May 2010. I just got promoted as Mom and will be promoted to "Level 30"!!! I can't believe it.
I used to teased Sun about aging and now, I am getting a piece of that. Guess nobody can run from that, even though we always tell ourselves it's just a number.
Savour each and everyday like there's no tomorrow.
Live with no regrets!!

So,
1) will be more patient
2) treat Tun better, not that I treat him bad, just better in a more loving way ; )
3) really put effort in promoting the blogshop. Find ways to expand.
4) more equip with child care knowledge
that's all for now.

Bed Time


It is bed time, and the daddie suppose to read him bed time story after feed, but he chose to give Gerald Chee Alphabet Lesson pulak.
We bought him the bouncing net 2days ago, to put him to sleep at night.
He was enjoying it. At least I do not have to carry him all the time and get tired and hurt my wrist.

27 Apr 2010 Chill Out Time

Chilling with Gerald.
I always wonder how come I sound different in any recordings.

My Follow Up Check Up

Today is the 6th Week routine check-up.
Did the pap smear check (results to be known next week), ultra-sound check on recovery of the uterus.
Stitching of the "wound" has fully recovered = can resume sexual intercourse ; )
Doc advise = next baby should be 6 months later, wait till the first period come. I didn't really understand, and had never really understand what he said, Tun was always the one asking and summarising for me, he was at home taking care of Gerald today, hence I went to hospital alone.
Well, I have already got my calendar marked when to start producing again, so no worries ~
Am 53.5kg. Before pregnant = 49kg

How's Work?

It has been tough for the past 2 weeks, managing household chores and taking care of newborn all by myself. Luckily I have Tun to help out at night and Grandpa to help out occasionally during noon time so that I can catch some sleep.

It requires more than physical strength to get through each day, you need a lot of patience, Gerald constantly wants attention and can hardly be left alone for more than 15 min. He needs someone to talk to him and play with him. Recently, he is having difficulty sleeping, waking up after 10min each time he fell asleep. Pity him but really unsure what to do. I can only try to calm him, sing him lullaby so that he will not have bad dream.

Also, I feel bad each time he spit some milk out, like tau fu fa. I am trying to find a solution to reduce the spitting but apparently there aren't any. I have done all I could, burping and feed him warm water, it minimise but can never solve this problem. I feel bad whenever he cries due to discomfort. Help!!!

Our 2nd family photo. (Don't ask me where is the 1st one, I didn't post it because it was poorly snapped)















He is a "Rocker"!!!















I have no idea why he likes to put his hand on/near his face all the time.















Gerald's best friend is not Scottie, it is Mu Shu the Dragon, probably cause he is red.

Are you sick of me ?















I got this yesterday. Hoping to have free hands when I go out.
Also, it will be much more easier and convenient when we bring him for a stroll in the park in future, at least Tun can carry him comfortably.




















Camera shy?
Upset?
He just covered his face the whole time I was holding him, refuse to move his hand when I tried to pull them away.

Expressionz

Snipets















27 Mar 10 - I like to have my hand near my face everytime I sleep (even when I was still in Mummie's tummy)

The Ooh & Ahh(s)

Gerald had been making the ohh and ahh sound when he was only 2 weeks old.
He is slowly making more of these sounds, trying to respond perhaps? Cute...

He is now 3-week old and weigh 4.54kg : )

Gerald Got Infected

A "roller coaster ride", that's how I would describe today.
Noticed white milk patches on Gerald's tongue, thought it was milk residue.
Confinement lady tried to wipe it but it couldn't come off, so she said we should bring him to the doc. Called Wai Sum and she gave me directions the the Paediatrician's Clinic. Called them before I went and they waited for us.
Dr Lum, he is a "no nonsense" old doc. Mrs Lam was very kind and helpful while Dr Lam was very straight forward and may come across as rude (to a stranger). He was rough when speaking to the confinement lady who went with me. I pity her. He probably just never like the traditional way of taking care of baby, saying "old fashioned".
I mean yea, old fashion but she did the right thing, what she knows best. But probably also due to her talking too much la.
Gerald got infected with THRUSH (i think I spell this right), which is a fungal infection common amongst newborn from 3 - 6 weeks. It is mostly due to non-hygenic bottle teats and mouth that is not rinse after each feed.
To prevent :
# Wash teats with salt
# Thoroughly clean bottle with brush
# Boil all bottles, teats and other feeding equipment in boiling water for 5 - 10min. Drained and leave it to dry the pot. Use toggle to retrieve. Wash hand before handling any of the equipment.
# Also, feed baby some water after each feed to rinse out the milk residue. Any residue left in the mouth is a breeding ground for the yeast.

As Gerald has the yeast in his tummy and it came out when he passed motion. We used baby wipes to clean him everytime he passed motion and most probably because of the, again, residue, his thigh got infected as well.
Advice :
# wash baby's little butt everytime after he passed motion.
# try not to use wipes unless necessary

Medicine given :
# Miconazole Cream & Gel

I feel so guilty for allowing this to happen.
To all mom to be, please read and take note of whatever that you read in your preganancy book to better prepare yourself.
Lesson 1 learnt.

14 days - Message for Yi Yi(s)

"Dear Yi Yi,

Today, I am 14days old. I have been consuming alot of milk to grow healthy and to become strong boy.
Last night, I drank my milk milk so fast until I vomit.
Today, I did it again. My vomit came out just like "fountain", pouring out from my mouth. I felt tired after that.
Mama and Dadda was so worried. Mama carried me and rocked me to sleep today.
Gerald will try to drink milk slowly and not to make mama worries.
Yi Yi, please tell baby cousin not to drink me so fast like me okay. And please make him burp properly otherwise he may vomit like me too.

Do you think I have grown?

Love,
Gerald Boy"

My cord came off on 20th. I have blood stain on my baju and bed. But it was ok. I cried a little only.














10 days old



















11days old














See my nose, just like dadda. Mama told me that grandpa used to pinch her nose to make it "high". I want that too....














Today, I am 14 days. Yahoo..... and my sleeping pattern is inconsistent.
