New shoes for Cayenne


Went to Bata to get new pair of shoes for Cayenne. Daddy chose this pair for Cayenne. Quite comfortable and Cayenne loves this pair of shoes! Don't want us to take them off after trying! Anyway, we decided to buy, so we let Cayenne wore the shoes on the spot. Haha...

Went to shop around with an excited Cayenne looking @ her new shoes and KPO-ing around the shopping mall.

Bukit Timah Hill on 01st August 09, Saturday

Can't wait to leave the house.
Dennis brought Cayenne for a morning walk @ Bukit Timah Hill.

Hungry Cayden

Mouth opened...
Hungry boy seeking for Mummy's B****? Hee...
But changing diaper halfway, so Darling, please bear with the hunger awhile.

Mummy's Thoughts - Part 5

Ai yo, why this Mummy (that's ME) got so many thoughts in mind ah? Hee...

I'm an aquarian, an unconventional person, probably alot of thoughts. I'm not shy to share my feelings/views (sometimes useless views. Keke... ;p)

Cayden is now 14days old as of today, 01st August 09. Very soon, he will hit his one month old. & then... ... ... Daddy will fly off to Sweden for 2 months. Will only be back end October. As for Cayenne, after end August, she will no longer go to Lily's place. (Everytime I think of it, wanna cry. Typical Aquarian - make of water!)

I'll take care of my two lovely kids myself during my ML. Hopefully I can do a DECENT job of taking care of them.

Pray for me, people.

The Confinement "Commandments"

I haven't mention anything on my confinement, have I? Hmm... Well, this time round, I didn't follow strictly on the confinement "commandments". During Cayenne's time, I probably followed about 90%? I think not bad. BUT this time, probably I followed only 10%! Haha...

The confinement "commandments" - You name them, I break them! ;p

1) Start off with bathing. Old folks' beliefs - Cannot bath, must wait till 12days. I bathed on the day I delivered Cayden. & thereafter, I bath everday. Sometimes up to thrice a day! Sshh...

2) Either air con or fan - I use both! Even fan directly blow @ me!

3) Must be well covered by clothes - I wear sleeveless top & shorts!

4) Socks & bedroom slippers - Well, I look @ my feet now, they are naked!

5) No water - I did drink the red dates/longan water & WATER! & lots of it!

6) Cannot go out - I went out a few times & even go downstairs to do marketing for my Cayenne's meals.

And what else ah?

I don't regret my "misbehaviour" now, at least I'm more happier and relaxed this time. Maybe when I get old & here pain, there ache, then probably I'll regret my naughty behaviour. Well, I'll leave it till I get old then. Hahaha... ;p

I wanna break free!

Of cos not me! It's my Darling Cayenne! Haha...

She "auto broke" the sarong sleeping! Received sms from Jann while I was in KK on Saturday. Jann sms-ed saying Cayenne's sleeping habit had changed! Was very happy!

Since 18th July 09, Saturday, Cayenne has been co-sleeping with Dennis & me. ;)

Kinda of ironical. Most parents would want their kids to "break" the co-sleep habit when their kids get older BUT for the Chua Family, we do the opposite. Haha...

Though Cayenne isn't so "sticky" to me which I'm glad, she still needs me to be lie on the bed with her during naps and night sleeping. So when comes to sleeping times, I tend to be very BUSY if the timing clashes with Cayden's latching on time. I gotta to settle Cayden then "run" off to handle Cayenne ever since I got discharged from hospital. This lasted for at least 1 week plus. How I wish to have two MEs! So that I can handle both Cs concurrently. ;p

Then I decided to feed Cayden formula milk instead of direct latching around 8plus-9plus. This timing has been reserved for Cayenne. The confinement lady feeds Cayden while I lie with Cayenne on the bed around this timing. At least I won't get tired so easily. ;)

I had told myself that this time round, I would do better. Add stress on myself? Keke... Well, I think not. I told myself that I would strive to be a happy & relaxed Mummy this time.

Don't want to get so stressed over the breastfeeding issue as I was during Cayenne's time. With Cayenne around, I think probably I won't be able to last long with the breastfeeding. Cos Cayenne needs my attention as much as Cayden. It won't be fair if I neglect her just because I want to breastfeed Cayden. Afterall, I grew up on formula milk & am healthy too. So with this mentality in mind, I'm more of a happier and relaxed Mummy now. ;)
