She is MY baby and I decide what to feed her!

I want the best for her and I am MAKING her food so dont you dare tell me otherwise! I am NOT giving her those commercial jar babyfood for as long as possible!

I AM HER MOTHER! and don't anyone forget that!!!

Just because i'm easy-going doesnt mean i am a pushover. THIS is where i put my foot down and ANYONE.. ANYONE who even try to lift it.. will bear the heat of my wrath!

Wanna say THANKS to everyone... for their thoughtful presents.
big and small..... I love every single one of them :)

Singapore Idol is so NOT worth watching.....

I hope Sylvia wins!!!

she looks gorgeous tonight!

Blessed Christmas to all!

Waiting for Zack to be done with his game (he's into xbox again!)
then we'll have some fun unwrapping our presents!!!
first time ever.. the space under our Christmas tree is filled with presents!

(special thanks to Ben+Val and Chris+Elynne :))






a particular present i'm so itching to open...........

*screeeeeams*
it's from my darling sister :)

i dont know what to say.. seriously.

please dont pamper me so much can? *misty-eyed*


THE CHAN'S CHRISTMAS...
We had a marvellous time at Zack's gu gu's house!
every year the entire family will gather and have a Christmas lunch..
it's always such a heartwarming event.
this year.. there are 2 new additional to the family:
MEGAN ANN CHAN & ELSON LIM :)


CHRISTMAS MORNING......
a little sunshine popped up to greet me :)



My little darling's 1st Christmas!
and she was a great gal at Grand Gu Gu's house!
everyone said she's such a smiling baby :)

didnt fuss at all.. took 2 naps in the midst of all the noise.
and goodness.. she was the chubbiest of them all!
Elson is 8 months old and weighing 8kg.
this gal.... 5 months old and weighing 7.8kg!
even Ian who is 18 months old is slimmer than her.
and also the only baby who is sleeping thru the night!
poor Julianne (Elson's mummy) is still waking every 3-4 hrs every night :(
Ian too is waking every 3-4 hrs to feed at night!
I guess Zack and I are really fortunate..
Megan is now sleeping 11 hrs: 8am - 7am!
Note: to show Julianne the article on babycentre on how to eliminate night feedings. Once a baby has double his birthweight (or reach 7kg), his tummy is big enough to sustain him for the whole night. If he is waking up, it's usually due to habit.


Oh.. Zack's done!
it's PRESENTS TIME!!!!!

uhhhhh.... it's toilet break.... -_-

Chris and Elynne came to play!

We played MONOPOLY!

the Orchard Rd of monopoly... monopolised by Elynne and I!
we did a joint-venture and own the entire street *smirk*
check out the hotels - everytime the guys visit our hotel, they have to pay $2000/$1275! hahahhaha! Zack got bankrupt within 1 round! he lost ALL his property and money :P

gosh.. we had so much fun (laughed til my throat is abit sore now) until Zack and i were late for Christmas service *sheepish*

They just went off.. was really nice having them around :)

Happy for Chris.. Elynne is a really lovely gal.

Their wedding will be on 15 Jan 2011!

Hey Megan can be their flower gal.. hehe..

Oh Elynne just bought the loveliest Miu Miu bag.. for $1.8k!
the color is blue-grey, with gold hardware and ohsogorgeous!!
dun worry Zack... i'm NOT hinting.. hahaha.
pretty things must admire ;)

sings: "everybody needs a busom for a pillow.."

Megan just fell asleep on mummy's lap... :)

she was fussing... full tummy, clean diaper (pooped twice so far and it's not even 10.30am!), didnt wanna sleep when i tuck her in bed so i carried her, propped her on my lap while i upload our KK pics on the com.

After awhile i look down and there she is... snoozing :)
she got my busom for her pillow!
no wonder so comfortable.. haha
my baby... the sweetest thing ever
love her too much!

am NOT playing monopoly with Isaac Chan again!!!!

11pm - 1.30am
dough gone and...and......
refused to mortage my houses and hotel
have to resort to trade other favors instead!

*humph*

the Revelation of my present...!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARLING!!!
and today also marks the day of Megan's 1st holiday! :D

we'll be off to Kota Kinabalu in less than 12hours!
gosh.. packing is really quite a tedious task.
we're packing all of Megan's clothes..
and a whole truckload of stuff .
i'm in fact pretty nervous and stressed..
i hope we got everything and she'll be good on the plane.
feel like there are a million things on my mind..
so many things to pack along and every one of them seems so important!

1.27am
dead beat now.
long and busy day.
gotta pump then head to bed.
will be having an early start later..
Pappe is going to Rachel's.
gonna miss her.... :(

I came back from doing the dishes to find my little darling......

......rolled over and watching tv!!!


Ahahahaaha!
i so love her to bits :)

my preciousss...

just a peek..... :)

I've been taxed!!!

what the.........!!!!

Zack came home this morning with a letter from SingPost (ICA). My item has been taxed :S So we packed Megan's stuff and headed to Singapore Post Office @ Eunos to pay the taxes and collect my parcel. My darling was so sweet! Even though he was tired from working last night, he took me there to collect my parcel :) Must sayang him :)

Still feeling the pinch of having to pay taxes *sigh*. Be mindful that any purchase (gift or not) above SGD400 will be taxed!

But my present......


One word: DIVINE


*swoons*

*ding dong...* it's here it's here it's here!!!!!

*dance and dashed to the door*


"parcel for Mr Isaac Chan..."

:(


(Zack's mean.. he laughed at me)

sashayed in 3inches......

.....for the 1st time in more than a year!

but my legs are breaking now :(
i used to be able to run in 4inches!
what happened?!!!

my afternoon.. in a span of 5hrs
1) lovely 2.5hr lunch with Zenia
2) thread brows in Arcade
3) visited my old colleagues - Theresa, Evelyn and Sam
4) sent Alfie to the hospital - he gotta stay there for 3 weeks and i'm $164 poorer.. *sigh* cant bring him to KK next week now.. what am i to do there then?!!

Wanted to make a stop at Raffles City but my legs were close to breaking and Zack called to chase me home (twas only 5pm!). So i took the train at the opposite platform and headed home.

Came home to see big darling and small darling infront of the tv. Daddy did great! Megan is clean and fed, napped for a good 1hr 45mins (he msged me to brag!) Very impressed I begrudingly say. But Daddy looks wiped out... hahahaha!

But hey... Mummy bought Daddy a present! :)

Did I mention he woke up at 10am to take over? Even gave me some money so I could have some fun :) So sweet right? So must praise him many many ;) A little appreciation goes a long way :)

gosh... i'm dead beat and nursing a headache....
gonna go hit the sack..
mummy is on nightshift tonight.

Up Up and Away.... this afternoon!

Been up extra early today to do some housechores...

cos.....

I'm going out today!!!!!
Meeting Zenia for lunch.. then i'd get some stuff done.
too many things i wanna do!
1) brows thread at Arcade
2) trim my hair at Johnny's
3) get some Christmas presents at City Hall
4) look for Megan's Dedication dress
5) send Alfie to the hospital

no time no time... how how???
i cant do all :(

Zack will be taking care of Megan this afternoon - SOLO! *grins*
some father and daughter time..
He said he will take her out.. hehe
I'm so looking forward to him taking care of her solo..
then he'd know how tiring it can be.
dont think I everyday stay at home sit infront of the tv all day okay! :P

Gosh... this is the first time i'm out on my own since Megan is out..
just doing my stuff, relaxing and browsing the shops.. leisurely
that's 4months 2weeks 6days!
finally some ME-TIME!!!
I'm going to get on my heels again!

my shoe size seems to have gone up a size or a half..

EG043845000US

Zack was amused i can remember it.. hahaha.
never been more excited to receive a parcel :)

praying they wouldnt tax me!

opps.. my travel guides are overdue!

YES YES YES!!!!

We are going to London and Spain next year! wooohooooo!!!!

KL - London - Madrid - Barcelona - London - KL

Zack's 30th bday gift :)

Sometimes i wonder if i'm too nice to him!

First Maldives... now Spain.

No more after this!!!

It will be my dream destination next....

Busy busy as a bumble bee..

SAT: Church in the morning. Shopping at Vivo in the afternoon. Bought Megan some stuff from Gap.. 30% off! We had lunch at this Jap restaurant - Gourmet House (i think). Food's pretty good but pricey! Megan was a good gal and didn't fuss much. She looks so cute in her pink Ralph Lauren dress and Adidas crib shoes! But Zack was tired after 2 hours and wanted to go home.. *sigh* Me? I was like a bird flying free!!!

i look as round as Megan here *sobs*

but Megan looks too cute i have to post this (ugly one of me) pic

SUN: Megan had a first SPA session at Rachel's! We packed her float and stuff and pop over Rachel's in the afternoon. She likes it! But the float was irritating her abit. Mummy had a spa session too while ah yi took care of Megan. Zack and Andrew went to the new Shing Song to buy lala. Andrew cooked us some really nice HOT lala... so sedup!
*pics and vid up soon!*

MON: Stay home day.

TUE: Met Chris and Elynne for dinner at Vivo. Unfortunately Megan was cranky and we had a pretty hard time. She probably was too tired and Marche was too bright and noisy for her. We had to leave shortly after dinner :( We suspect she is beginning to recognise places and faces. Gotta bring her out more often to let her get used to different environment.

Christmas Tree is up!

our theme this year is BLACK and RED :)


*more pics coming*

Aunt Flo is finally here!

i wasted quite a few pregnancy test kits.

that explains my moodswings the past few days..

it was pretty bad... poor zack..

and also the bloatedness.. :(

i always bloat bad before my period.. sigh..

Zack's so horrible.. he calls me "my xiao yuan yuan"

*HUMPH* i WILL get back my pre-preg figure!

i can fit into my jeans now!

cant wait to start taking Yasmin... it is marvellous for water retention.

but i cant at the moment cos i'm still breastfeeding.

Why isnt my parcel here yet??? :(

It was shipped out from New York on 5th Dec.

Zack is also expecting one. His was sent on 4th Dec.

So we are both waiting in anticipation.

I hope mine will arrive today!

I have just embarked on a journey many women had said there's no turning back.

*grins*

i'm so tired......

some updates and pics to post but i'm just too tired..
another time i guess...

planned to take Megan out shopping in town.
wanna go check out Ion.
even picked out her clothes and shoes..
but it had to rain the entire afternoon :S
so stayed home instead.. :(


but ju's H.A.P.P.Y!

cos........

her Bday/Christmas present has been shipped!!!!!!!!!!!


see how long i have to wait for my bday present! hehe...
but it's okay... it's SO WORTH THE WAIT *beams*

(This is actually not the bday present Zack planned for me, he planned to give me a slimming package for my after-pregnancy cos i've been fretting over my figure since i got preg.. haha. Then he thought i didnt need it. That's not true... I look in the mirror every morning and get so depressed... *sigh*)

alright... i gotta go pump then to bed.
i'm completely wiped out..
and my mood is going downhill.
i looked at my mum's knitting needles and started to cry..
that's when i know i'm totally drained...

Still.... I miss you. You will love Megan so much... you will knit those beautiful bootees for her... you will take care of her and will be the best grandma Megan will ever have. Again... i ask God, why must He take you away??

Back to Front... Front to Back!

OMG!!!!

Megan just flipped from her back to her front.... 3 times!!!

I was in the room when i heard Megan making noises at her gym. I went out to check on her and to my surprise, she was almost on her front! Ran to the room to wake Zack up. Went back to see her and she was on her tummy already! So flipped her to her back and she did it again!!! Then another time when i was on the phone with Rachel (exclaiming to her Megan's recent mighty feat.. haha)

It was so funny.. it was just yesterday i was beginning to get worried about Megan flipping. She doesn't like tummy time nor being on her tummy for long periods. Like that how to flip right? Usually babies will flip from their tummy to their back. Who would have thought my little darling will flip the other way - Back to Front! hahahah!

For the past week or so, Megan had began to turn on her sides.. right to left, left to right. And last week, she was like 3/4 flipped. Her legs were crossed all the way flat on the floor and she looked twisted like a pretzal.. haha.

Gosh... i'm going on and on like Megan had just won a gold olympic medal... hahahah! It certainly feels like it! :P

Welcome to Motherhood! :)
