17 weeks 'holiday'

My 16 weeks maternity leave is coming to an end soon. How time flies when u re submerged in blissfulness! Yes its very tiring mentally n physically cos I hv only abt 5hrs of sleep every day n no caffine allowed since Im on breastfeeding. I enjoyed the time spent caring for my little ones n watching them crossing their every milestone more than anything else. I suppose this is a rare opportunity for me to get 'close and personal' with my kids for this long.

Although Im spending most of my time (its 24hrs) taking care of Kayleen (well, to be fair the leave I gotten in a way “originated” from her), I tried to squeeze time for my other two kids. I will try to cook lunch for Trenyce n bath her after she returned from school. I tried to play with Kaden as his bathing n meal times will either clash with Kayleen or Trenyce. All these done amidst my very bz bf schedule cos I need to express bm every 4hrly if possible. Honestly, Im v thankful for the 16weeks ml given by govt (additional week is from my annual leave),its really nice to hv these much time to care for our bb. Babies are usually more settled in their 3rd or 4th mth. Hence my mind is more at ease when I returned to office or rather Im v ready to return to work. The only thing is I cant bear to part with my little one. I can really feel the big difference as I wasnt able to spend as much time with my two elder kids hence I got v excited when I was the first to witness kayleen‘s milestones like im a brand new mother all over again. I saw kayleen grabbing things, screaming in excitement, ‘answering’ me when I talked to her, turning herself…well, all these would not have been possible if Im away at work. Oh! Sound like I may try for a fourth one..hahah...well, no not yet! haha...

Taxi?

We went to amk hub today for dinner to celebrate Trenyce‘s birthday. It wasnt easy going out with 3 kiddies without a car. Hence we decided to go without the strollers, just 5 of us, the maid n 2 bags in a taxi. Interestingly, after returning from our amk hub outing… hubby n myself do realized that we can ‘live‘ without a car. And a taxi fits our family just nicely. Not a single seat more...value for money...haha...

Can consider...mayb....

Days without a Car

Hubby met an accident on last Monday. Luckily he wasn’t injured but I couldn’t said the same for our car. The chassis was ok but the car doors (right side) n the bumper were badly damaged. The doors couldn’t be opened n we can only go in from the left doors including the driver seat. The workshop said it will take at least 10 to 11 working days to complete the repair. Sigh what a timing, its long weekend when we need the car most! Moreover, we are going to zoo on Sunday, for Trenyce‘s birthday outing. In the end, we took bus 138 to the zoo and taxi back home as everyone was too tired, on top of that it was drizzling at the time we were leaving. During these periods where we have to ‘live’ without the car, we noticed something interesting abt Kaden. He is a country pumpkin who hasn’t taken taxi before. He refused to board the taxi on 3 occasions – once we went to amk hub and once to Hougang Point, both for marketing purposes, and once back home from zoo. It was only the fourth time, on Trenyce’s birthday, he became nonchalant about taking a taxi to-and-fro amk hub. Haha....

Happy 3 months old to Kayleen!

Kayleen turns 3months old today! Happy 3mo my dearie! muacks!

Here's a funny pic I took on the same day. Kayleen doing some serious reading with papa! See how she frowns...hehe...


I am also happy to be the first to witness her turning herself! Yes at 3mo, she is a little over ambitious but its okay as long as there is someone watching over her hehe..I saw her trying very hard and gave her a helping hand and so.........


Baby, mommy is so proud of u! =D
