My hair started to drop when Kyson was about 4 months old and it continued until today. Even hubby noticed my long straight hair getting lesser and lesser each day. Whenever I shampoo or comb my hair, I think I easily lost about 50 strands a day. I did research on hair loss cures and […]

On the first day I went back to work, I felt like I just walked out from house jail or jungle after serving my 1 month confinement at home. I noticed there was a new and very beautiful housing show room built near the main road. Hubby didn’t even realize the under construction show room […]

Somewhere during my third trimester pregnancy, my kitchen faucet started to leak. At first it was few tiny drops of water a day and towards the end of my pregnancy, it started to leak like rain drops 24 hours a day. I could easily collect 20 liters of water and used them to wash clothes […]

Kyson is already 2 months and 4 days old today. He has a little bit of phlegm (caught the virus from his eldest sister last week) and could hardly drink milk due to this. I am worried that his weight will drop. As for me, when I weigh myself at the clinic 3 days ago, […]

I am back to work. Yes. I am back to work 12 days earlier since I was not paid for resting at home. Rather than me sitting in the house breastfeeding Kyson all day long, might as well I go back to work and get paid daily. It was a difficult decision for me, as I love […]

The saying goes that when your baby starts drooling, the mother will experience hair loss. This seemed so for me after having Kylie and Kylin. It was most obvious when I washed my hair at the fourth month post delivery. Instead of the usual few strands of hair, I was losing a tidy heap each […]

Last Saturday, I weigh myself at the doctor’s office. I am glad to see that my weight has dropped a little. In fact, my weight was lower than when I was pregnant with Kyson at 1 month. Now, I wanted to reduce further. Another 6 more kg to slim down and I will be hitting […]

Usually after my confinement period, I will plan to do a lot of things such as banking transactions, sewing, backing up photos, facial treatment, hair cut etc. But this time, it seems like I can’t accomplish most of them. First reason, I do not have a car and hence I can’t go anywhere. I am […]

I went for my post partum check up today. I went there alone and left De’Little Ones at home together with hubby. There were few questions I wanted to ask the doc and I wrote them on a piece of paper before heading to the doctor’s office.
Q1: I had few small lumps under my armpits […]

I was very sad yesterday when the sales representative from Cryocord called and told me that my stem cells were contaminated and hence they had to reject my stem cells storage. My heart was broken into pieces as my last and only chance to store the cord blood shattered just like that. Kyson would be […]

Is this an asian myth or sound advice?
I read this article from DKSH Malaysia, a leaflet given to me in the hospital discharge bag, regarding the topic above.
Should we heed Asian confinement beliefs? Many women who undergo confinement are advised not to shower or wash their hair during the first two weeks, or up to […]

Time sure flies… 2 weeks had past since I gave birth to Kyson. The first two weeks were the time I dreaded most for I have to deal with the pain down under (as I had episiotomy), my engorged breast, and my hot and sweaty body. Why do we have to sweat so much during […]

“Finally” is the first word I uttered after giving birth to Kyson on Tuesday, September 22, 2009. I had cramps in the middle of the night, then it went away after 1-2 hours of discomfort. Early in the morning, I discovered blood in my urine. I was determined to induce him that day and we […]

I’ve touched the Week 40 mark.
Doctor’s expected due date for baby is tomorrow (Monday). Baby, when? when? when? Do you want to come out?
Looks like baby likes the comfort of growing inside my tummy more than coming out to meet daddy, mummy and his 2 Jie Jies (sisters). He felt more secure maybe inside my […]

After eating a lot yesterday (curry chicken bread for tea & satay for supper), today I will be enjoying another round of feast. Today is my nephew’s 1 year old birthday and we will be celebrating his birthday in the evening. My brother-in-law brought back home Secret Recipe’s cheese cake yesterday and I can’t wait […]

When is the big day baby will be born?
Deep down in my heart, I always wanted this baby to be born after this Friday. Another 36 more hours to go…
If what baby told Kylie is true, then I shall be meeting him this Saturday. I shall see if the “baby talk” Kylie had with baby […]

Last Saturday I went for my routine check up (Week 37 Day 7). I missed an appointment with my gynae two weeks ago and when I wanted to register my name last Saturday, I was told that Dr Lee had an emergency C-Sec operation. He would only see patients that had appointment with him on […]

Today: Week 37 Day 4
I crave for a junk food that is sweet and spicy today. I told hubby that I wanted to eat cuttlefish or satay fish. To my surprise, he went to buy a pack of satay fish for me immediately. Yum! Yum!

Last Saturday: Week 36 Day 7
After lunch last Saturday (August 29), […]

For the past few weekends, I have been busy digging up old stuff I have shoved aside. In the process, I also checked Kylie’s & Kylin’s wardrobe. I gave some of Kylie’s smaller clothes to Kylin and kept some of Kylin’s clothes for the baby. Kylin gets to wear loads of beautiful second hand dresses […]

This pregnancy is really unique to me. Why unique? In a way, I am blessed with a stagnant weight (for myself) at least until week 34 Day 4. Hope my weight will continue to be like this until I deliver. With this stagnant weight, I can really save a lot in terms of additional expenses […]
