LIfestyle, Love, My Love story
#keepingmarriagealive #lovingyourspouse #teachingmysontolove #6.5months “The best thing I can do for my baby is to love his mother” – Pips When becoming parents for the first time, the second time and the times thereafter, it is so very much a natural part of us to love our baby fiercely, and to place our child’s needs […]
Baby Ray, Musings/thoughts, Parenthood
We wanted to see the world and explore its nooks and crannies before planning for a baby. To travel so much till we got sick. To travel so much and feel so satisfied that we’d finally explore the idea of having a baby. But that time came sooner than expected when mom had a great bout […]
Foodie Alert!, Restaurants/Dining
#Diningout #throwback #5mo #vegetarianrestaurant Those who know me know I am no fan of pure vegetarian food, and have on occasion, scoffed at vegetarian meals (in my defence, it happened in my younger days. Sorry, Buzzy haha). I especially can’t stand the look and taste of mock meat – fake charsiew, fake chicken rolled on […]
#5mo #Feverinthefamily #BMpower! Poor Lil bubs was sick on Sunday, with fever hitting a high of 38.7℃. Thankfully though, with what I attribute to a healing mix of BM packed with powerful LEE antibodies, Koolfever and plenty of rest on daddy and mommy’s sacrificial arms, his fever went down fairly quickly to 38.4, and gradually decreased […]
#throwback #3mo bottletraining One of the biggest challenges that I faced as a breastfeeding mom, ironically had nothing to do with bf, but bottlefeeding. I was always told that baby may have nipple confusion, and not want to latch, so I insisted upon exclusive direct latching until a week before I was to return to work, […]
#throwback-3months old #bottlefeedingfail (1.5mths) #Rayis5monthsoldnow Some of you would know that I have been struggling with the issue of trying to bottlefeed Ray, since I so openly lament and share my woes about him not drinking from the bottle. It helps to spread the misery around, cushions the pain a little haha.
#throwback #newborn The first night that Ray was born, he was kept in my hospital suite so I could bond with him and breastfeed him. I was very glad and happy that this was the arrangement at NUH, as I felt it was my duty and responsibility as Ray’s mom to have him spend as […]
TGIF! yay it’s the weekend and I hope all of you are as happy as Rayray here. I know I am, cuz I’ll soon be going home to the little one that keeps me up all night and demands my attention all day 🙂 Xox and happy mama’s day! Jas
#4 months and 3 weeks old The little critter is now out of his crib and on my bed. He looks around the room inquisitively, hands outstretched and legs high up in the air. Finally, his gaze meets mine and immediately, bebe beams a big one at me, breaking into his toothless, gummy smile.
THE INITIAL BREASTFEEDING DAYS – ACCEPT HELP FROM NURSES AND LACTATION CONSULTANTS When I first had Ray, the initial few days in attempting to breastfeed him were so bumpy. I was in the hospital, all worn out after an excruciatingly painful labour (I’ll concede that I’m a wuss and have a low pain threshold), […]
