Oh what a week it has been… So busy with school holidays and all and full of drama not to mention. It felt as if I didn’t breath at all! I’m actually totally knackered, thought I’ll just go collapse in bed but couldn’t sleep… :-| Maybe my brain is still running at full speed… I’m just thinking back now trying to recall what I was so busy with but I just can’t. Isn’t that weird?

Let’s see … last Sunday was our wedding anniversary (still not blogged about it yet), then was a free slimming session that my dear Joshua got for me (blog about that later), then was the dentist on the 10th (very painful) in between all that we had a broken car window, Emme has a flu (resulted in even less sleep, as if that’s possible, for me), Aiden became a mohawk (yes you read it right), picnic at park, Emme’s 3D hand and foot sculpture and Caitlyn was bitten/scratched by a crazy dog and all the usual running about so that the house continue running… Phew!!

These days I’m just surviving everyday… I would say in a blur. Most if the time I feel like a self program robot. I key in what are the out of the usual things that I need to do, incorporate it to my usual cycle and run the program… changing diapers, feed the baby, grocery shopping… in between all that someone will need a hug/fall sick/backside pain, head pain…. etc..etc… I don’t usually whine in my blog. In fact I make it a point not to in the past. I was afraid that I might be revealing too much or write something that might hurt someone’s feelings… blah,blah,blah.. Most of all I didn’t want my kids to read it (if they read my blog) in future. But lately after reading a fellow Mommy blogger’s blog, she is totally HONEST on her blog and is NOT afraid of what she blogs about. I thought to myself… “Wow! She is so brave..” When I spoke to her she just simply said, ‘ I don’t care!! It’s my blog what!’  So true… And as for the kids, she says.. then they’ll know that their Mommy is also human. **grin**

That’s also so true.. Sometimes I read some other bloggers blogs… All nice and rosey.. I thought to myself, “What!!? Are they on Prozac or what?”

So I thought about it for a long time… What kind of blogger do I want to be? Am I gonna be honest with my entries? Am I brave enough to be totally honest? Hmmm… I still don’t have the answer. But I’ve decided that I will, try.. to be as honest as possible. It’s kinda scary for me… since I know, when I’m being totally honest, there will be prices that I’ll have to pay… :-(  But like what my friend said… and if my purpose for blogging is so that Aiden, Caitlyn and now Emme can read about it later, Mommy will have to be more ‘human’… I don’t want to be like those Mommies who pose to be like a super duper Mom where everyday is rainbows, cotton candies and happy pills…

Third Trimester

I know this is a bit weird and confusing AND backdated!! But I just really wanna try to add as much as possible my preggie memories into my blog. Afterall… this will be my LAST!!!

This lovely photo was one of many that was taken by my youngest brother, Daniel. ;-) Very nice. I wish we had time to take some outdoor but as usual, never got to it. But I’m very glad I have these… I’ve wanted this even when I was pregnant with Caitlyn but didn’t know where to go and back then he (Daniel) was too shy to take them for me… :-|

Third Trimester…

This photo was taken at the beginning of my third trimester, 16th Feb 2010, a day before Gerald had to go back to Singapore after Chinese New Year break. We were all gathered at Daniel’s studio for a family cam whore session. ;-P

At this point I was 66.3kg, which means.. I have roughly put on about 11kg. Is that alot? I have no idea. But one thing is for sure is that this pregnancy I actually look the best compared to the last two… I was bigger! Looks like only my tummy grew bigger and boy was my tummy BIG! Feels like carrying a watermelon in front of me. I was practically wobbling about, sitting down was difficult… I thought my tummy couldn’t get any bigger but as the weeks went on… it grew bigger and BiGGER!! Towards the end of my 3rd trimester I practically had to ‘carry’ my belly while walking like a penguin.. not very sexy. Despite looking like that, I remember bumping into a ‘Hi Bye’ friend and he actually asked me “Eh!You pregnant ah?”  :-| Are you kiddin’ me or are you blind? I wanted to say “No lah!! I just swallowed a watermelon for fun and now I can’t get it out…”  :-|

Yes! You read it right!! This time round I hope I will be a great cow… for at least 6 months I hope. That what I said the last time with Cait but I only managed to feed like for less then 3 months I think. Even then, it really wasn’t easy…I don’t really know what went wrong maybe I wasn’t ‘hardworking’ enough when it comes to expressing or maybe I wasn’t well equip… I got worried and when my supply went low and I thought I was starving my baby and eventually gave in and gave her the bottle. She was taking 6oz by the time she was like 3 months. I could only produce something like 3-4oz… :-| Yes.. I drank all the soups and all… but still..

For all of you past and present successful cows out there… What’s your advise?

Right now I’m actually really contemplating on investing on a good breast pump… but very hesitant to spend that much money (just in case I wasn’t successful again..) I have forgotten how expensive these things were!! OMG!! Not sure if I should buy it now or later after I give birth. And which one to buy? Do I need all the bags and stuff?

Spoke to a friend of mine (who was breast feeding her baby till she was 2 ) that her daughter was just constantly on her breast as and whenever she cries… Is that how it’s suppose to be? Doesn’t breast fed baby also feed on a schedule? If that the case then how la..? How do Mommies who goes back to work after 1 month do it?
