Mama : Fed up!

Baby Chloe's last feed was at 9.30pm, and we were expecting her to get up at 11.30pm or 12.00 midnight for her next feed before her long stretch of sleep. Mama was very tired and slept at 11.30pm, I am not too sure what time did Papa sleep. Papa is a very notti man, he is always complaining about his exhaustion. But whenever he got time to sleep, he would stay awake for his TV and Newspaper! MAN!

Anyway, Baby cried and I quickly got up to check on her. Baby Chloe must be hungry i thought, then I had a look at the clock in the DARK. I think I was too tired and my eyes were half-opened that I read wrongly on the time. I thought it was already 6.15am. I thought Baby Chloe did a good job again so I decided to heat up the breastmilk instead of making the formula. Baby Chloe started to cry louder as I was heating the milk.

HOU MEI A?? Papa exclaimed. I went back to the room, saw Papa carrying Baby Chloe.Papa's eyes were trying to search for the milk bottle, and he asked"Where is the milk?" **** FRUSTRATION LOOK SOMEMORE!!!!

I told Papa that the milk is not warm yet and he started to question me in an unfashionable way "Why not Infant Formula??" I was a little agitated by then, and I turned my head left and right. At the moment, then only I could read the clock properly that it was only 2.00AM. Hahaha... Well, there is nothing wrong to feed Baby Chloe with breastmilk since I was heating it already. Papa started to show his so called "MANLY" or "BOSS-LIKED" attitude to me and started to complain complain complain.

Come on, we were all half-awake, just spare me a moment for some peacefulness. I got really really fed up, got the warm milk passed to Papa and had myself on my bed with Mei Mei. I told Papa : HANDLE AlL BY YOURSELF, I AM GOING BACK TO SLEEP! Papa is a strong man, he always thinks that nothing can beat him down. Don't ever threaten him with anything. He ignored me and continued to take care of Baby Chloe.

I could hear Baby Chloe's crying after the feed. I woke up every few minutes to peep at Papa and Baby Chloe. Papa was sitting by the crib, patting the crying Baby Chloe. Hahahaha.... Well, since Baby Chloe is under the care of Papa, I am sure if there is anything Baby Chloe will be attended immediately. Therefore, I went back to my sweet sweet dream.

Haha, when I got up this morning. Papa complained that he got not enough sleep because he only managed to get baby Chloe to sleep at 4am. Muahahahaha......Complain somemore la. Mama will go to sleep and leave it to Papa!!!

A Tragedy

Today I read two very unfortunate news about toddlers, and both news startled me as a mother.

The first news that I read in the morning is about a One-year old child being sexually abused. It was shocking enough to read the heading like this early in the morning, and I was totally disgusted with it when I read the content of it. Oh My God, I exclaimed. How on earth would this insanity happened on a ONE-YEAR OLD CHILD. Due to the high cost of living, the baby girl's parents have no choice but to work in order to earn more dough for the family; and they are forced to send their Baby girl for daycare to their so-called closed friend. One day, mother of the child was changing the baby girl's diaper and found blood stain on her private part. The one-year old baby girl was quickly rushed to the hospital, and doctor found baby girl's private part and anus were penetrated with hard object. Furthermore, doctor confirmed that both new and old wounds were found which means the abuse was performed numerous time before. OH MY GOD!! After I read about it, I can't stop myself from feeling sad about humanity. FucK! This is insane. She is just a baby, a child who does not know how to protected herself from all these bastards!!!! Why should a toddler be involved in such a inhuman act? The cruelty of this humanity is so terrifying which had made me think that I am being too selfish to bring Baby Chloe to this world. I wanted a child, I wanted to build a family of my own and without her permission, I brought her to this world of insanity & insecurity. I asked myself Why? Why? Why? Why it happened on a ONE-YEAR old baby girl? How come there is such a beast survive in our land to ruin our peacefulness and happiness? What happened to our GOD who supposed to protect our children?

*sigh* GOD is not the one to blame. It is us, as a parent, to be blamed of such tragedy. Because we want luxurious life, because of our greed, and because of the material world, we chose to spend our time at the working place rather than home to take care of our babies? Suddenly, I feel ugly! *sigh~~~!!* What to do, we have to be realistic in order to survive in this material world. I was telling hubby, I might consider to quit my job and take care of Baby Chloe by myself. Also, I might not want a second child as I do not wish to bring the purity to this filthy world. All about money, power, sex, fun!!!! Well~~! Will see how it goes.

The second news was about a 6-months old babies died of either suffocation or choked. As again, working parents sent their baby to the babysitter which cost them about RM2K per month. Parents were terrified & collapsed when they received the news of their baby's death. Babysitter and the 6-month old baby were both taking a nap together. Babysitter heard baby was crying but didn't respond to it. After a while, baby stopped crying and babysitter thought that baby was back to sleep. Therefore, she continued her nap without checking on baby. After an hour, babysitter woke up to feed baby, and she found baby was lying on his tummy motionless. She was frightened and immediately carried the baby up and patted his back. The 6 months old baby vomited and face turned black. It was so unfortunate that the baby lost his life before reaching the hospital. Shit! This babysitter is so called the professional Nanny with certificate!!!!! Because of her carelessness, the parents have to suffer the pain of losing their beloved child.

I told myself I can no longer read anymore of these news about child abuse and death caused by carelessness. I just can't stop cursing these people and can't stop myself from thinking what can I do to baby Chloe. What is the best for my Baby to protect her from all these insanities? What can I do? What should I do?

WHAT IS HAPPENING?? WHERE IS HUMANITY?? WHERE IS OUR HEART?? HOW COME THESE BEASTS GOT TO CHANCE TO LIVE IN THIS LAND TO DESTROY OUR TRANQUILITY??

Rashes Attack again!!

Baby Chloe's heat rash is coming back again. I know it wont' hurt Baby Chloe but somehow I felt it was the itchy rash that disturb baby from her sleep. Yesterday, I came back home early from work, and started to look after Baby Chloe by myself. I wiped her face after every feed with filtered water. Then apply Hazeline Snow to cool down her heat rash. Baby Chloe used to hate Hazeline snow because it is very cold when apply to her face. But, now she enjoys it so much that she would smile when I apply the Hazeline Snow on her face and started gurgling too. Happy!!

Today, after a series of filtered water & hazeline snow treatment, her rashes had subsided and it is no longer so redish. Plus, she can go to sleep easier as compared to the last two days. Hooray!

Blood in stools????

Two days ago, my mother found streaks of blood in Baby Chloe's stool. Everyone was terrified except me. Why not me? Baby Chloe is still active, talking much, kicking, boxing and having a good appetite, moreover, no point rushing to the clinic since the Pediatrician sure give me the same answers : It is normal! It is ok! Observe a few more days etc etc.. So, i waited until yesterday night (which I had skipped my KIMUCHI STEAMBOAT for dinner :(**) and brought her to Dr. Ong for a checkup. Well, as expected, Dr Ong told me not to worry and observe for a few more days. He told me to collect the sample of her stool with blood if it happened again and bring it to the lab for a test. However, up till now Baby has not have any bowels yet.

I am not so worried at this point because Babycenter mentioned before that it is normal for a baby not to have any bowels for a few days *up to maximum of 7 days. So, I just leave it for now and observe carefully. I do not really have a chance to observe Baby Chloe 24 hours, so I have to rely on my maid's information. Lousy Mama!

I was guessing whether Baby Chloe is constipated but breastmilk shouldn't cause constipation. Plus, her last stool was also very soft (*watery). Could it be diarrhoea? (*But no vomiting or sign of fever) Could it be simply tearing of her skin when she passed motion? (*Also no sign of injury at her backside). I guess most probably is due to my unhealthy food intake. I have been eating out a lot with my hubby because hubby doesn't like my maid's cooking.

Sigh, notti mama. Stop pushing the blame to papa la. I should take care of my own diet and eating healthily. Less deep fried stuff, no oily food, less caffeine contained drinks, no sambal chillis, more fruits, more vegetarian, more fish. Be a good MaMa!

Regretful Indulgence

We were supposed to go have Organic Detox Meal for dinner, unfortunately they were closed by the time we reached Econ (Organic Shop). So, hubby suggested to have KFC to spoil ourselves once in a while. I KNOW..It's so contradicting from a super healthy vegetarian meal to a total unhealthy deep fried chicken meal. Anyway, I didn't object his proposal and we went straight to KFC without hesitation. I thought why not indulge myself once a while even though it is fattening. Yeah again, it is so ironical for me to have KFC when I actually skipped my lunch for diet purposes. Yes, Life or rather Human being is full of ironies.

The initial idea of indulgence turned out to be a regretful decision for me and hubby. We were salivating when we began tearing the Kentucky Fried Chicken piece by piece and putting into our mouth. The crunchiness was so appetising at first. After a piece of crunchy fried chicken, we realised that we were no longer enjoying our meal as it became a little oily. I did not manage to finish the second piece and hubby was a little struggling to finish his second piece of KFC.

** Interruption from hubby while writing this blog which broke my blogging momentum. Stupid!!! He kept on saying I cannot mention KFC in my blog because it is defaming and KFC can sue me. I am just saying it is a little oily for me, did I insult or complain about KFC? stupid hubby!

Anyway, I had KFC which I am not suppose to have for many reasons. For instance, it spoilt my diet plan and it also spoilt baby's diet because what i ate will eventually passed it to baby. I didn't enjoy the meal which had ruined my diet plan and i also brought in unhealthy substance to the breastmilk which inevitably will pass to Baby Chloe.

Baby Chloe, MaMa is sorry. I won't be so greedy anymore and I will be more careful with my choice of food. Papa, it is all your FAULT la.

Drooling

I missed out blogging about baby's first tearing moment, and this time round I am not going to miss blogging about baby's first drooling. Well, today is definitely not the first time that I see baby Chloe drools but I can remember clearly that Baby Chloe started to drool about one week ago. She started to put her hands into her mouth and producing a lot of salivas. Mama said : Notti girl, don't play with your saliva. Yikess! I think it is about time to take out those bibs that I had bought for her long time ago.

P/S: I think if I am not wrong, Baby Chloe started to have tears about 3 weeks ago.

Self Discovery

Baby Chloe likes looking at the mirror and smile. I interpret it as Baby Chloe is a girl full of confidence, that's why she's happy to look at herself in the mirror. :P

2 1/2 month now

Baby Chloe is 2 1/2 month now. She is 6.4kg and length ??? Papa's fault. He didn't ask the nurse yesterday when she was measuring her length. Anyway, Dr. Patrick told us that her weight is above average and her length is average. Baby Chloe had a 3 in 1 jab and Rotovirus yesterday, I expected her to cry vigorously, that's why i prepared a pacifier, but she didn't really cry much except for the moment when Dr. Patrick jab her (say like less than 10 seconds?). Baby Chloe is a very good girl!!


This time round, I prepared myself with all the questions that I had to ask Dr. Patrick:-

1) Baby vomitted yellowish substance
Answer : It is okay & normal. Maybe caused by oily food taken by Mama which had passed it to baby.


2) Baby sometimes vomit in a projecting way
Answer : If it's not frequent, and most probably is due to being fed too much when she's not hungry.


3) Baby's rashes
Answer : It's normal. Apply Baby Oil or cream. It will disappear in a year time.

4) Baby's stomach got wind
Answer : If Baby Chloe didn't cry for stomachache then it's normal. It is very normal for baby to pass air (farting) frequently


5) Less Bowel
Answer : As Baby Chloe grows, the number of bowels should reduce to 2 - 3 times a day.


6) Blocked Nose
Answer : Normal for Babies. Especially when both parents had allery background Plus smoking papa & wow wow at home, blocked nose is very common. Dr. Patrick told us unless we migrate to a country with better air condition, then it might treat baby's blocked nose.


7) Sweaty palms & foot
Answer : Normal


8) Belly Button is dark
Answer : It is most probably pigmentation. Nothing much that we can do.


I do not know how to explain the feeling of this Doctor visit - unsatisfied? not informative?

It is like Dr. Patrick just answered my questions very briefly and again it seems to me that as long as it is not life threatening, then baby is fine. Perhaps, I have read about the development of babies through baby center and thus it makes Dr. Patrick not so informative. He didn't really ask me a lot of quetions about baby's development. For instance, her feeding pattern. Maybe he thinks is not neccessary since baby's weight is above average. But, what if I overfed baby chloe when I am not supposed to? And he didn't ask about baby's sleeping pattern, he didn't ask about her languauge development etc etc... He didn't really tell me at this age, what are the changes and development that I should notice. Nothing!!! Maybe I am expecting too much.


Fee : RM 360.00 Nett paid by Papa.

I am not alone

Baby Chloe, Papa is a good father. Papa always tells you to love Mama more, but I say you must love both of us equally much. When you were still in Mama's stomach, Mama always thought that I will be the only one who is taking care of you in the night. Papa never lose his sleep for anything except for you, Baby Chloe.

Every night, Papa takes shift to feed you. If I take the first shift, he would take the second shift and vice versa. Mama is never alone in the aspect, and Papa allows Mama to have enough sleep by sharing the duty of taking care of you especially Mama is back to work now.

For instance, Mama took care of you last night to 11pm while Papa is sleeping. Papa is forced to sleep early because he has an important meeting this morning. However, he woke up at 2am to feed Baby Chloe while Mama is deep asleep. Mama thought Papa would wake me up and get Mama to take the second shift too but he didn't. Papa loves Baby Chloe so much so that he would wake up in the middle of his sleep, and spend the quality time to bond with Baby Chloe - feeding her & put her to sleep after feed.

Mama says thank you to Papa.

9th February 2009

Supposed to go Vegetarian Dinner with hubby and MIL, but I was too tired that I had decided to stay back to take a nap. I used to think that by taking naps never help to recover from the sleeps that I had missed, but today I finally agreed to hubby that naps definitely help a little. Felt refreshed after an hour nap.

Woke up at 8.30pm, had dinner which hubby specially bought for me from Taman Desa - Organic Detox Meal (2 slices of papaya, 2 slices of sweet potatoes, some vinegar salad, boiled Pak Choy, Stewed Bean Curb and Give-grain rice).

My maid told me that Baby Chloe didn't sleep much this afternoon. Hubby thinks that maybe baby will sleep better in the night later since she didn't sleep well in the afternoon. Sigh~ What's worrying me is that she refuses to go to sleep even in the night. I could hear from her cries when the maid was rocking her to sleep that baby Chloe might be disturbed by something which stop her from sleeping, for instance her blocked nose, stomachache, constipation, itch rashes ....... So worried now! Hopefully, baby Chloe can sleep well later in the night.

Posted quite a number of photos lately. A lot of friends told me that Baby Chloe is more like Mama now. I personally also realised Baby Chloe is changing everyday, looking different every week. But Baby Chloe still has the features of Papa - Long eyes, sharp and wide nose, Long legs and Long hands :P

One more happy thing of the day : When my maid was rocking Baby Chloe, I went close to Baby Chloe and said : "Hello, Baby Chloe, MAMA is here!" Immediately, Baby Chloe gave me a big smile with her mouth wide opened. Ahhh... what a good remedy for tiredness. ALL GONE!

Baby Chloe when She's is sleeping soundly

Mama says : I love Baby Chloe so much when she's sleeping soundly.

Head UP UP UP!

Baby Chloe's lifting her head strong while on her stomach! Up Up Up!

Baby Chloe says : Mama, I am tired. Can you please put me in a more comfortable position? Phew~~ Rest First ~~

Baby Chloe says : I want to turn, turn & turn!

Baby Chloe's First Chinese New Year

Visitors

This afternoon, Auntie Hilde, Auntie Mic, Auntie Nicole & Uncle William came to Mama's house to visit Baby Chloe. Baby Chloe has collected a ANG POW from Auntie Nicole & Uncle William, and Festive Cookies from Auntie Hilde & Auntie Mic. Baby Chloe overheard that Auntie Nicole is giving birth to a mei-mei soon. Yeah, I have more friends adding into my list. Baby Chloe is so happy la.

:( Mama told Auties and Uncles that Baby Chloe is notti because I didn't sleep in the nights, and ended up disturbing Papa & Mama when they were supposed to be resting. Sorry la, Mama. Tonight, Baby Chloe will try to sleep in the night and not disturb you anymore.

2 Month Old Baby Chloe

It is all worth it!

My friend told me that reading my blog makes her reconsider stepping into motherhood. I AM SORRY la. I didn't realise that! "Paiseh." Muahahahah.

Maybe I am just a pure expertise in whining and when I start blogging, I have the tendency to complain complain and complain which unintentionally inflicted fear to some. But TODAY, I want to officially announce and share my most joyous moment to all that the birth of BABY CHLOE has brightened my life, lead my existence to the next level (motherhood).

Baby Chloe, Mama is so blessed to have you as my daughter. Noone ever said it is easy to be a mother or a father, but it is definitely a most happy and enjoyable moment to go through parenthood. Seeing you grow and change every day just melts our heart! We love to talk to you, we love to hear you respond with your baby language, we are proud to see you smile back to us when we communicate with you (especially Papa), we are delighted to discover everything new about your sleeping and eating pattern, we are waiting for you to call us Papa & Mama, we are waiting to see you walk and run, oh my, I can't wait to dress you up like a princess and take tonnes of photos. The happiness of parenthood is not easily described by words, you have to go through it yourself and feel it all by yourself. Everyone has a different experience but I am sure there is only one end result - HAPPINESS ! IT IS ALL WORTH IT!

Prayer's Night - "Bai Tin Gong" - 9th Day of CNY

Baby Chloe started crying for hunger at about 10.10pm. She was very frustrated and impatient, so I told my maid to give her 1oz of expressed milk while I was adjusting the mixture of Infant Formula. Right after the 1oz feed, my maid handed Baby Chloe over to me so that I could continue the feed with the new bottle of Infant Formula. However, Baby Chloe refused to drink it. Worrying that Baby Chloe might vomit if I forced it too much therefore I decided to stop there and waited for her to cry for hunger again.
We started playing with Baby Chloe, we talked to her, she responded with coo coo, ge ge, a a and of course the most beautiful smile :P. I also put her on her tummy, and realised that she is getting stronger each day. She managed to lift up her head with a good control of strength. Baby Chloe also turned her body herself with some strength from her left arms and pushed herself back to her normal lying position. Then, I tried again putting her on her stomach while talking to her. She lifted up her head easily and turned herself on her comfortable lying on her back position.
At about 11.30pm, she started to make noise again. Hubby quickly got ready the Infant Formula milk and started feeding her at 11.3opm. Baby Chloe did not finish the full 4oz, she had only 3oz. After that, we changed her soiled diaper and quickly put her to sleep before the prayer start at 12midnight. (9th Day of CNY - Bai Tin Gong - usually is a Hokkien Traditional Ritual to pray for prosperity). Unfortunately, fire crackers were everywhere. With the Blak Blak Blak Blak, Pong Pong Pong Pong "BOOM" continuously released until almost 1am, Baby Chloe did not want to sleep after the feed but was attracted by the noise of the fire crackers. It was the very first time that I think Fire Cracker is NOT BEAUTIFUL and INFACT it was annoying and unromantic at all. Stupid Fire Cracker disturb my Baby Chloe from her sleep.
Baby Chloe finally slept at 1am, and *sigh* woke up at 4am. I thought "shit, I messed it up but how?" I was too tired to get up to heat up any milk, without thinking much I breastfed Baby Chloe with a lying down position, hoping that I can get better rest. Baby Chloe was still crying after the feed, then only I realised that she was crying for her soiled diaper not hunger. Arggghhhh....... and I took 45 mins to realise it. After I changed her, I put her to sleep at 4am. TIRED~~~!!! Then, she woke up at 6.30am again for her feed. *Phew*
Tired, Tired, Tired. Now is 6.55am, while PaPa is resting, MaMa is doing her routine duty to ensure Baby Chloe's milk supply. After that, I have to get myself ready and back to work again. Going back to work is not as difficult as I thought. Infact, I love getting back to work. I felt a sense of achievement? fulfilling? as my time was fully occupied doing a lot of works. I thought I would miss Baby Chloe so much that I would call home every hour to check her out. Haha, I only called home twice yesterday. Maybe, the very first day of work, too much pending issues that I need to settle which occupied most of my time.
Time to get ready for work!

February 2, 2009

Third Formula Night

Okay, this time round, it works again.

Hubby mixed the Infant Formula with 4oz. of water and 3 scoops of powder, and I fed Baby Chloe at 10pm. Initially, she could only have 3oz. so I stopped there and burped her. Then I tried to make her sleep at around 10.20pm since her eyes were closed when I fed her. After patting her for 10 minutes, I put her on her crib. *sigh* As usual, she started moving here and there and refused to go to sleep even though she was yawning numerous times. Baby Chloe always likes to get full attention from us, once she knew we are going to leave her alone on her crib, she would try her best to keep herself awake. BABY CHLOE, YOU ARE SO NAUGHTY. Then, I decided to warm up the balance 1oz and feed her again. When Baby Chloe started to suckle the teats, her eyes were once again closed comfortably. *Phew* Finally, I managed to get her HALF-ASLEEP at about 11.30pm. I was a little tired and knowing that I need to get up early tomorrow for work so I just left her on her crib even though she was half asleep.

Haha... I pushed the responsibility to hubby and went straight to sleep at 11.30pm. HooRAY~~ Baby Chloe did a very very good job again. She woke up at 5am which both PaPa and Mama are very satisfied. It means the 4oz. of Infant Formula Feed lasted for 7 hours and she managed to have straight 5 1/2 hour sleep. Definitely an IMPROVEMENT compared to the First Formula Night. The second one was a mess!!!!

February 1, 2009

Tracking of the 3rd Infant Formula Feed

Last night I had a BBQ Party at Elayne's place with all my old school mates, we had fun catching up and discussing about pregnancy & babies issues. Hehe...and I was home late (around 12.30midnight). Immediately after I had arrived home, I quickly rushed to my room to start my pumping work. By the time I finished the pumping & shower, it was already almost 2am.

At about 2am, Baby Chloe woke up for a feed. I told my mum to prepare Enfalec A+ (HA) Formula with the ratio of 4oz water to 3 scoops of powder. I am not too sure what she did as the bottle was more than a 4oz milk (infact, i think it was about 5oz.) Therefore, I suspect she did not follow my mixture ratio. But she was too tired & sleepy, I didn't ask too much and told her to sleep and I will take care of Baby Chloe myself. When she handed the bottle and Baby Chloe to me, I didn't even look at the volume assuming that it was the 5oz that I saw and I started to feed Baby Chloe. I didn't want to overfeed Baby Chloe and thus I stopped the feed at the remaining of 1oz so that she would only get total of 4oz. But funny, Baby Chloe didn't seems to have enough as her mouth was still moving as if she was asking for more. So, I decided to change her diaper first and feed her the balance later if she still want it. When I threw the soiled diaper, I saw the empty bowl was filled with MILK. Arggghhhhh...what is that??? What did my mum do? So, was it a 4oz or 5oz bottle??? Did she poured out the extra to the empty bowl? or or or ??? Anyway, BIG BIG QUESTION MARK!!!!! Baby Chloe finished the remaining milk after the diaper change anyway.

The feed was at 2am and I got her to sleep at 2.30am. She woke up at 6am which means it was a 4 hours interval feed but a 3 1/2 sleep. SEE SEE SEE, this is what happened when MaMa goes out have fun!!! Messed up with the tracking of Baby's feeding pattern and sleeping pattern. My mum was trying to help out and I can't blame her for anything. Sob Sob Sob. And this incident also makes me THINK, my mum who is so closed to me, educated, smarter compared to my maid and she also did not do as what I have planned for. I believe my maid can't do any better than my mum. *SIGH* So how?? I am going back to work and I will be away from home from 7.30am to 7.30pm. So how so how????

Dar dar, you better work hard and pay me like what my father is paying me so that I can stay home to take care of your baby and have more babies! LOL.
