Breastfeeding Emma

By -
I think it's been almost a month now that Emma has started refusing to drink from the boobs... which started this whole expressing fun game...
Eventually I did get her to feed on the boobs at night feeds and sometimes first feed in the morning...

Last night, that didn't work either... which means I had to express this morning.

Every now and then, she won't drink the expressed milk either... not really because of the milk.. just because it is still quite hard to figure out when she's hungry or not. So some of those ended up down the drain anyway...

So I have to ask myself... is it having 50ml a day count as being breastfed?
I was hoping to keep going till she starts soilds, or maybe at least make it to 5 months...

Now... I'm not so sure... we will just see how it goes...

After I started working, I barely have any time for myself... more work on the household finance has piled higher and higher on my desk and being ignored for the time bing...
So many other things I wanted to do but I can't even get 30 mins to enjoy a shower for myself.... now I'm also trying to fix my wrist... time is even more limited...

Do I really want to then use all my spare time cleaning bottles, breast pump and trying to mulit-tasking while expressing?

For what? I'm not so sure anymore..

The little one is doing fine, doesn't seem to miss it either...

Anyways... better get back to laundry and cooking...

Well, most people say that she looks more like dad; some say mum... so I put our photos onto a website for a test... Result #1 - 50/50 Result # 2 - 16% more like dad... Then I remembered that she looks more like me when I was a baby... so.. I put in my baby photo.. Result # 3 - 3% more like mum... (hmm...) Oh well :P Here we have it :P Sally

First day at Daycare

By -
Today is the first day Emma starts daycare. She will be in daycare on Tuesday and Thursdays from now. I also have the person from property management company coming over to take photos of our house for renting at 2pm. So, I was busy cleaning and tidying up the house while she's at daycare. After I got everything done and just got out of the shower, I got a call from the daycare. At first I thought, oh no... but then, they only called to let me know that Emma is okay... just in case I'm wondering but feel bad to call. So apparently she had her bottle shortly after daddy dropped her off. Then went to sleep for 2.5 hours... Had another 200ml and was playing on the floor when they called me around 12:45. She told me that Emma is a really easy baby, so far. Sounds very good! I think she behaves better there!! At home, sometimes she won't go to sleep... gets too happy... Hmm... :P At least we know she's okay in daycare... and mum is okay today, very busy actually! :P Sally

Woo finally rolling over caught on video!

By -
This morning when I was getting Emma out of the bed for her 2nd feed, I couldn't find the camera's memory card. Oh well, so I put her down for tummy time anyway and thinking, I bet she's gonna roll over this time and we'd miss it on video again! Yep! Damn! Later I found the memory card and put her on video again... but it only has 7 mins left! Bummer... I thought she might roll over just as the camera is running out of memory... no no, she didn't. Very close so many times though! But now I know what the secret is for her rolling over... She'd have one arm straight and pushing hard, the other tucked in... and she always likes to wiggle to a certain direction very hard... and babies have heavier heads :P So... she just keeps pulling towards one direction and... way she goes... rolls over. Finally... in the afternoon, when I was playing with her on tummy time again... video on... after so many close ones... she finally rolls over and caught on camera! Yah! (These p...
