Back to work

Wow..CNY have come & go in just a wink. Even my 16 weeks of maternity leave is all used up and I will be back to work tomorrow. Kinda of feeling a bit sad coz I love lazing around the house, playing with the kids & doing nothing at times.. But no choice, have to eat plus now with so many mouth to feed.. I just have to chase away my lazy bug in me.

DS have settled quite well in school now. He now no longer whined when goes to school *cross fingers* and he have made some remarkable progress in communication skills. Though, his pronunciation is still a big problem but at least he can express himself better now and his wacky replies at times never fails to make everyone laugh. Even since he went to school, we can see he has grown to be much more independent. He can go toilet on his own now and he is diapers-free at night too. He is able to brush his teeth on his own and knows how to bath himself too (but not very clean lor..hahaha). He now feeds himself during meal times and goes to bed early too.. However, he still have to hone his motor skill as he is still not able to hold his writing materials in the correct way.

As for DD, she is now 3mths plus and one side of her head looks flatter than the other and also, her neck is still not steady yet so we are now trying to give her lots of tummy time. Hopefully, she will improve by her next visit to the PD. Now DD just loves to put things inside her mouth so now we have to watch her like a hawk. DD have also done her FIRST roll over on 2nd day of CNY (15.02.09) and I was glad to have witness this physical development. But after her first attempt, she just refused to do it again until recently she started rolling over again.

Arrgh..I will definitely miss both the kids when I get back to work.

Here's some of the kids recent pics :)

CNY round the corner

CNY is here again..We will be ushering the year of Tiger in a few more hours. This year, no spring cleaning for me to do *Yipee* and tonight, we will be going to PIL place for reunion dinner. This year we will have an additional family member to join in and that person is my DD.. Also, this year, beside the usual relative house visiting, we will also be going to DH friend's gathering (details to be updated). Very fast, tomorrow DD will be 3 mths old already.. Let me recall her progress till date

- able to flip to her tummy if lay her sideways.
- loves to talk to people and have her gor gor around her
- can put her whole hand into her mouth and eat her mini 'drumstick'
- neck still not stable which I am very worried so will ask PD during her next checkup in March

Think that's about all.. Meanwhile, let me wish everyone a Happy & Prosperous Chinese New Year!!

Busy with activities

I know I haven't been blogging very frequently (as usual) because since DS went to school, I have been busier. Busier because DS is sick more frequently and worse, he brought the virus home too and to prevent DD from being sick, I have to ensure that DS dun get to close to DD. But still DD was oso sick with flu and cough in Jan and seeing how she struggled with her med makes me so heartpain. Also, since DS is in school during the day time, DH and I makes use of this time to go out. We've been to Resort World, Chinatown, Bishan etc and shopping during weekday is such an enjoyment as we can avoid the crowds.

Very fast, DS is in school for 1mth plus but he still refused to go to school every morning. We have to use many ways to coax him to school. As for his performance in school, the feedback tha I've gotten from the teachers are that DS is a very soft spoken boy and he doesn't interact much with his friends. He also don't like to write or colour and he still can't hold his writing materials well (teacher have to hold his hand to guide him). Hmmm, getting very worried for DS as I also think DS pronounciation is not very accurate too. Maybe, I haven't been teaching him much as now we still have DD to look after. I just hope he will improve and overcome the above problems as times goes by.

DS starts school

Yes..this is my 1st entry for Year 2010. DS have started going to cc but as usual, he still can't adapt to school. Though its already week 2 but he is still crying whenever he sees us leave the school. But no choice, he have to learn how to adapt and hopefully he will outgrown his separation anxiety soon. So now with DS in school, me and DH have more time for ourself. We would sometimes go shopping, watch movie and even swimming (back to par tok days)
As for DD, she is coming to 2 mths already. She loves people to talk to her and she will responses back.. Some of the photos I took for the kids recently..

Happy New Year

Yes..in another few hours, we will be ushering year 2010. Year 2009 have been a good year for me as I have gave birth to my baby gal on the same day as my boy, so now the siblings shares the same birthday. Time flies..now my gal is already 1mth and 2 weeks old. The maid have also came for about a mth plus and hopefully she can continue to work with dilligence. My hope for year 2010 will be that everybody around me will be surrounded with happiness and be healthy. The kids will be good and my job will scale to a new heights.
Last but not least, let me share some of my gal photos with you all..

Updates

Yes..few more days before my gal EDD..Went for checkup last Tuesday(03/11/2009) and gynae told me now DD is about 3.2kg. Asked me would I want to wait for the actual EDD anot? Now still thinking on this question.. Finally, we settled the maid issue. She should be coming in next Tuesday so hopefully she is someone whom I can entrust my kids with and a great helper.

Will be celebrating DS 3rd birthday this Sunday at Toa Payoh and AMK. I hope I can still have time to update my blog in future...Meanwhile, stayed tuned.

Check up

Went for blood test and gynae check up last Sat (10/10/09). Also, happened that my 2nd sis was there for blood test and we had lunch together at Ajisen (Thks BIL for the delicious lunch treat). Since I had nothing on, we roamed around Compass Point for a while before I went for my gynae check up. Baby is ok and now weighs 2.5kg. As for me, I am now 64.3kg and Dr Adrain said that baby head has turned.

After the checkup, DH picked me up and we went shopping at Suntec. I met my secondary school mates there and its been so long since I have seen them (1 of them is even a mother of 3). Anyway, our main objective is to go to JL to buy playpen mattress since we have some vouchers. We managed to find 1 that is suitable and off we went to have our dinner at Hotpot culture. The dinner was enjoyable as DS is happily playing with his new cars that DH had brought for him. After dinner, we went to Starbuck café for my sudden craving of ice coffee. By the time, we went home I was so....tired.
