Somewhere over the rainbow…

Going Kai Kai

I’m going off to Penang (finally decided), and will not be blogging for a while. Ta Ta and have a wonderful holiday!

Where to go?

Hubby’s coming on Friday, if none of his flight is delay. He’s too anxious to be back to see his prince, he doesn’t care about jet lag, transferring flight, bus, and train from Shandong, China, back to KL / Penang.

He’s taking a week off next week, same as me. Both of us think that we need to spend time together with Justin. Poor fella, already missing daddy like crazy. But where should we go?

Most places already packed and fully booked. I’m afraid of spending holiday with a big bunch of people, just can’t relax and spoil my mood.

Ah! No place to go already. All because of last minute / no planning at all in the first place. I can’t stay at home in ipoh, MIL had ordered me to either leave for Penang or go some place else as chicken pox virus is still spreading in my house. Xin Yi’s having it now.

Gee, if no place to go, can only be back to Penang liao….

Justin Misses Daddy

Hubby is in China for 2 weeks, and Justin has already started showing signs of missing daddy. Normally, he won’t look for daddy during the day, and after some days of not seeing daddy (hubby works in KL for a few days in a week), he’ll start to cry in the night and say “papa, papa”.

Papa is the first word he knows how to sound. Hubby started teaching him papa when he’s a newborn, and I thought it’s a silly idea. I’ve always thought babies only start talking when they’re about 1 year old, but Justin started saying papa correctly and referring to hubby at about 8 months old.

So, he’ll cry and ask for papa when he misses daddy. Then, he’ll ask me to carry him to our wedding photo and he’ll touch hubby’s face. I’ve always wanted to capture this and show to hubby how much Justin misses him, but waking up in the middle of the night and attending to a crying baby makes my brain malfunction for a while, just can’t remember to get the viewcam. Of coz, too sleepy to do so too.

There are still more than a week to go. Hopefully, Justin will get some comfort by looking at hubby’s photo. At least our wedding photo means something to our baby.

Taking Things Easy

I’ve finally realised that I need more rest, and take things slowly. *Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out*.

Last Friday, I got the fright of my life when I noticed that I was bleeding. It’s not only spotting, but bleeding. I got spotting in the beginning of my pregnancy, and after taking some pills, I was doing fine. But when I saw blood at 8pm, I just tried to be cool, and told myself that I’d go for a checkup the next day.

Then, I went to bed early with Justin. I felt weird at midnight, and went to the washroom. Apparently, I was still bleeding. It really scared the hell of me, and I called hubby (who’s in oversea), and my friend. After that, I called up the hospital if I should admit immediately. The nurse told me to get there so they can call my gynae to check on me.

Ok, I packed ASAP, moved my sleeping baby to MIL’s room, and rushed to hospital with SIL. My ob-gynae said the he couldn’t use the ultrasound machine at night, so that’s no point I stayed a night at the hospital. He gave me a jab, and asked me to return to his clinic the next day.

Luckily, the scanning showed that my baby is still safe and sound in my womb. I’ve never felt so glad looking at the images before, and when I saw the little heart beating, I felt like crying. Just too happy, and felt like crying.

My doc asked me to stop working until week 16 as I showed some signs of threaten abortion. But that’s impossible for me to do so, I’m self-employed. If I’m an employee, I’ll be thrilled not to be working for so long. Too bad, when you have your own biz, you just can’t afford to take rest.

So, I’ll take things easy now. Don’t care about my biz, just be there and act like bimbo for a while. No more do-everything-by-myself boss.

Back from Penang

Came back today, and with Justin as well. Why? I should have left him with my mom, but things didn’t turn out as I planned. I thought I should let him get used to sleeping with my parents first before leaving him there so it’s easier for him later.

The first night, he’s crying like hell and unconsolable when he woke up at 3am and found my mom beside him. I think he got scared as he couldn’t see me or hubby (who have been co-sleeping with him for months), and cried for us. I rushed out of my room and carried him immediately. He managed to stop after a while, but still looked confused. After some comfort nursing, he went back to sleep.

Next night, my mom got “experience” already, so she quickly brought Justin downstairs and made milk for him. I knew he had already woke up as I heard his cries, but I stayed in my room. My parents managed to feed him some milk and bread and he went back to sleep with them. I was very glad.

Then, last night things were getting even better. But after waking up at 3am to 4am for 3 consecutive nights, both my parents already showed some signs of tiredness. My mom got flu, and my dad seems blur the next day when he goes to work.

I just don’t have the heart to bother them since they have been sleeping thru the night peacefully for more than 25 years, and they can’t seems to get used to night wakings anymore. Even if my mom told me she’s doing well, but I just “tak sampai hati”.

So, I decided to come back with Justin. Of coz, Wei Wei is still staying in my house as my SIL’s mother refused to take care of him. He’s an active boy, but to me he’s not difficult to handle. I’ve been his godmom and I know his characters really well. If he can’t move out, and I have no place to stay (except hotel which going to burn my wallet), all I need to do is to be extremely careful and keep my fingers cross that both Justin and I won’t get it.

Thanks for all the comments. I’m really touched.

Running Away from Home

Ok, it’s not like I’m running away from my house and never to return type. It’s just that my godson, Wei Wei, is having chicken pox, and I freaked out. I don’t want Justin to be infected, he has just recovered from prolong fever and rashes, so I don’t want him to be sick again in the near future. Just kesian seeing him sufferring.
Tomorrow, I’m going to send Justin to my mum in Penang. She has told me a few times to bring Justin back so that he can get familarized with my parents, and it’s easier for them to take care of him when second one comes out. Seems like this is a good chance anyway.
But I’m going to miss him if I can’t see him for 2 weeks. He still can’t talk over the phone, how to stay in contact with a 9 months old baby?
The first time I “ran” away with Justin was 3 months ago when Wei Wei is infected with Coxsakie. I was worried and thought better separate them for a few days. I was in Penang with him and he has no problem at all staying there.
Now, he’s going to be there by himself. I wonder if he’ll be coping well.

Horoscope: Accurate?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23–Dec 21)
This child is a boisterous scatterer of energy. He goes straight to the point but doesn’t always stick around to reap the benefits. He’s cheerful and optimistic, perhaps expecting too much from the world. Generous with friends, he will share without counting the cost. He is courageous and loves to explore in every sense of the word. A tendency to over-eat can be counter-balanced by a love of sport.

Personality key: Optimistic, full of expectation, friendly, generous, indulgent, fair, free, philosophical, playful and energetic.

Parent power: Committed parents can teach Baby Sagittarius focus and application.

This is what I found from Baby Centre

I’m not sure if it’s only a coincidence, or horoscope can really predict a person’s character. I used to read my horoscope too when I was studying. But now, I notice that the weekly horoscope mainly tells me about my love life, money, family and career, but nothing seems to “happen” like what’s stated, I stopped reading them.

I came across this site, and was wondering if there’s any smilarities about Justin’s characters as stated above. Well, it’s true that he’s full of energy, and since he knows crawling, the whole house is a playground to him. Following him around can be a good exercise for me.

He’s cheerful? He smiles a lot, but not to strangers anymore. The only person he’ll definitely won’t smile at when he sees him is his regular paed. Poor doctor, he told me that Justin doesn’t like him as he’ll cry and scream whenever he sees him!

He eats a lot, and likes taking adult’s food. It’s only me who’s stopping him from taking too much of cakes, chocolate, ice-cream, biscuit, bread, rice etc. I wonder why he knows how to differenciate food from non-edible stuffs. He just knows that those things can be eaten and would point and ask for it. Mmm…maybe babies have food radar? Luckily he’s active, and doesn’t put on weight fast, if not, he’s going to be fat!

For the rest of the “prediction”, I’m not so sure. Maybe he hasn’t shown the characters yet, and of coz, every baby is different. It’s not going to be exactly the same as written. So, mommies and daddies, just go check out and have fun, ok?
