Just photo

Upon request from Pei Sze on more photo of QT, here are the latest and ovenly-fresh photo taken few hours ago for viewing pleasure.

My adorable baby doll... By seeing her daily development really help me to recall those memory of Qian Yi when she was few months old. Sometimes I just feel that they are just growing too fast that I could hardly catch up with their speed....


























Creative model + creative photographer = creative photo

Qian Thung @ 2 mo

My baby doll is 2 months old as at 2 Nov.

Her weight is 6.1kg, increase significantly over the 2 months.

- She is a very good baby. Sleep well and drink well.
- She drink milk every 3 hourly for 4 oz. However, I could only produce or contribute 4 bottle of breastmilk a day.
- She smile when we call her or talk to her.
- She also smile when she wake up in the morning. I love this so much as I don't like baby wake up with a cry.

Sunday Outing

It was a beautiful Sunday and daddy planned a dim sum breakfast at Northam hotel. We reached the hotel around 9am, just to avoid the long wait and also to start the day earlier.

Paternal gong gong and ah mah, and Alicia.

















Gong gong with 3 of his grandchildren. Qian Thung is too small to join the crowd.

















Me and my 2 lovely angel. This is the 1st shooting for 3 of us. Love it.

We were then proceeded to Youth park after the breakfast as it was only 10.30am, too early to call it a day. We are actually a very lazy parent, we seldom bring QY out to park or playground during weekend. With 2 kids, I guess we must bring them out to park or beach more often.

QY enjoyed herself so much in the park.

We had a lazy, slow but wonderful Sunday morning in the park

My 2 Months Maternity

I felt like just carrying the 'ball' with me not long ago, but in reality my baby is 2 months old now and that also indicate that my 2 months maternity leave is going to end soon. Time really flies FAST.

Looking back the 2 months time, my life was like divided into 3 phases and as such, I would like to jot down every bits and pieces of it :-

Phase 1 : Week 1 - week 4
Gave birth to my 2nd beautiful princess on 2 Sept and we only having hospital stay for less than 3 full days. I admitted at 6pm on 2 Sept and baby popped out at 9pm. This has been counted as 1 day. Baby and I discharged on 4 Sept noon after lunch. I really thank god that it was a very smooth delivery and I never ever thought I could make it without epidural but I finally make it.

Back home, I was like having and experiencing a PIG lifestyle. Eat, sleep, eat, sleep every now and then.

And of course, operate my 'milk factory' as this time, I've decided and determined to breastfeed my little cutie. Though I m not able to 100% breastfeed her, I am still very happy and satisfied to be able to produce almost 50- 60% breastmilk to her daily consumption. Thanks to all the awareness and encouragement given by my dearest mommy friend. U know who u are....

I know some of the mother do not like or hate the confinement life but for me, I enjoy being confined at home for 30 days. That is the only time I get to stay at home 24 hours * 7 days a week for 4 consecutive weeks in my own nest, and eat and sleep a lot without having any sense of guilt. LIFE IS GOOD.

Phase 2 : Week 5 - week 6




















After my confinement lady left at beginning of Oct, my role turn into a stay at home mother. Daily duty are taking care of baby, prepare lunch and dinner, clean the house, and doing most of the household chores by myself. Life is really busy as a housewife, waking up at 7am and getting busy and busy all day long as got to compete with time to get the job done. Life is busy round the clock.

Again, so happy to be able to experience a full time mother's life for 2 weeks. Somehow, deep inside my heart, I know this is not my dream lifestyle in long run. Anyhow, LIFE IS GREAT at this stage.

Phase 3 : Week 7 - week 8
From week 7 onwards, I 'deposit' my baby at MIL's place day and night. Every morning after sending QY to school, I proceeded to MIL's place to send over my fresh breastmilk for QT, then follow by attending the daily morning meeting at the insurance agency office. 2nd half of the day is depending on my own schedule and timetable - some days lunch with colleague, friends or customers and sometimes, back to in laws place for lunch. Activities and appointments started again after lunch like meeting people, hair cut, facial appointment and etc.

I am so happy to be able to enjoy this phase of life as a Flexi hour working mother. Love it. LIFE IS INDEED WONDERFUL.

Now, 2 months free time is going to over, and I shall resume back to my normal working life next week. Terms that filled and occupied my 9am - 6pm life will be revenue, margin, profit, sales, P&L, forecasting, actual and etc. Ohh.... no but this is so called a dry Work Life.

Same face or not (#1)

Qian Yi always like to get closer to Qian Thung and asked us :"Mommy, same face or not?" She will be very happy when we answered her :"Yes, same".

Both of them looks quiet alike but not 100% same. I actually do not like to compare my 2 angels as I respect and understand the individuality that is in them. After all, they are not twin sister!!! Having said that, I wish they will looks very alike.

Anyway, below are the photo I took for them with the same yellow dress. Can u guess and tell who is who? I will continue and try my best to dress up QT with the same dress that wore by QY.

Beautiful yet cheeky

As mentioned earlier, Qian Yi is definitely a good little model for daddy when comes to photo shooting session.

Without having told to post this and that, she naturally comes out with the various pose and all daddy have to do is to hold his camera tight and ready to shoot. Readyyyy....go!!!

I just love to adores her photo over and over again.....

A day with Daddy and a night with Mommy

On Sunday, Qian Yi followed daddy back to Taiping to fetch 'mak ee' while mommy and Qian Thung stayed at home.

Both of them were having and enjoying Mc-breakfast at Sunshine Square before leaving for Taiping.
















She definitely loved to pose for daddy at mak ee's place ...

















At night, I spared her 30 min on doing some revision/homework on Math after baby QT has slept. I seldom doing revision on her school works at home as I thought it's only a nursery class. But to my surprise, she knows and remembers all of the pages her teachers taught her at school.

Lately, I've realised how much I've neglected her ever since QT was born 1.5 months ago when she kept on asking me - 'Mommy, u still love me or not?', 'Mommy, why nowadays u only talk to baby?', 'Mommy, why u only smile at baby?' and etc etc. Of course, Mommy still love you as always. The best way to answer her questions or rather, her queries is to spend a little bit more time with her as and when I can. During the night, I draw and she counts... 1+1=2, 2+1=3 and etc etc.. I can tell from her face how happy she was over the night and she definitely enjoys mommy's time and accompany on doing this revision and kept on calling me "teacher teacher"...

See how serious she is doing her work ...

Qian Thung @ 1.5 mo

QT was caught with some virus and was down with 37.9 degree fever on Saturday. This is the 1st time she turned into a fussy and clingy baby who wants mommy's carry most of the time.

She has her cutie smile back as soon as she wake up from her nap, exactly 1 hour after we fed her the medication prescribed by doctor. When her fever subsided, she turned back to be my good and adoreable baby as usual and mommy is sooo relief .....

Gifts

Qian Thung received blessings in the form of gifts from family members, our collegues and friends .....

And she is a god-send gifts to us ...

Hello from my baby doll

My baby doll is 1 month and 1 week old as of 9 Oct.

Weight : 4.85kg (increase by 1.4kg since birth).

Milk consumption : both formula milk and breast milk. 3 oz every 2/3 hrs. Mommy will try hard to give breast milk as long as possible, as mommy hope u will grow stronger and healtier with breast milk.

She is really a good and gentle baby most of the time. Sleep well and eat well, and play by herself when waking up.

Qian Thung is 1 month old today

Today I must say again, time really really flies. :) Back from the 1st moment confirming this pregnancy in Jan'08, and later went through all over again the 1st trimester, 2nd trimester and final trimester for 9 months like a 1st time mother as I almost forgot those experiences from 1st pregnancy. With a blink of eye only, the big day finally fall on 2 Sept 08. I could't believe how my little one has grown so 'completely' inside my stomach and I really fall in love with her the moment when nurse passed her to me at birth. It clear my doubts immediately as I always wonder if I could love QT as much as I love QY... Now I realised how true that mother's love towards their children will be multiplying instead of dividing...

After 1 month confinement day with lots of sleeping and eating, my little one has reached 1 month old today. The full month celebration started with hair cutting session. Gong Gong came to 'host' the celebration by cutting some of QT's hair...

















New look after the hair cut. Her weight increase from 3.46kg to 4.65kg in a month time.

















QT received lots of ang pao and presents... Thanks to all the relatives, friends and colleague of mommy and daddy.

























Praying session at our own place, then we proceed to both grandparent's place and finally the temple mommy used to pray during pregnant.

















Mommy love this series of picture so much. My 2 lovely and precious daughters.

This week update ...

I like this picture of QY. She looks like a teenager than a 4 yo kid... Anyway, she was unfit this week - fever, running nose and cough and absent from school for 2 days. I was so worried that she will pass the virus to the little baby clau , luckily the little one is alright.

















Little baby clau. She is getting more alert than the previous week. She likes to open and turn and turn her big eye.
























Cute and chubby Baby Matthew also came to visit little baby clau

















QY and JH. 2 of them like to fight but end of the day, they still like to play with each other.
