2 months old Terry

Some updated about this cutie Terry. On 20th Jul. brought him to kiddie specialist for his 2nd month injection. Put him on the weighting scale, 6.1kg man! grow another 1.5kg. Meaning that he totally grow 3kg since born and tall 6cm. Oh boy! doc said his weight is ok but when I told those mum they get shock. I can't carry or rock him in my arm for long as he is getting more n more heavier, well...his is growing...thus u know aft this I will get firm arm with 'tikus'. It is nothing to do better than workout using dumbell. Even his dad also can't take him for long. Those who saw him before said he is cute n handsome :}

He loves to smile more when I talk to him and he is making more ooo and ahh ahh sounds and even ang-gu-gu now. His laugh also started got laughing sounds. It is not hard for me to make him laugh n smile in front of the camera. I feel happy with all his laugh n smiles.

He is very good in taking my command now like 'wait' (used when I'm about to make his milk), 'close your eye oi oi' (ask him to sleep), 'don't move changing now' (used when putting on his diapers) and 'quiet' (to stop/quiet down his cry or scream). All in all he is not giving much trouble taking care of him during day n night. So I got more time to clean the house, cook and even online.

After 1 month full in cooking for lunch n dinner, now can say my cooking skill is brush up a bit. I'm good in steam pork rib, fried vege and boiling soup. Not expect to do those hard cooking which take times yet like yong tau fu, stir fish,..etc...now all my cook need to b is fast n simple. So my cooking style is more to steam n fried.

Breastfeeding plan need to say bye-bye now..aft trying to pump n pump the milk is not gaining back. Got to giv up now. Sorry boy..

** Next post I'm going to blog in detail about my honeymoon to Beijing last year, draft it long ago *(chuckle)*

Since when it change...

Sunday, as usual went to church in the morning with Terry...he was that calm n happy attending church service.

Later in the afternoon we 3 went out to have late lunch at Plaza Mont Kiara. My last time there was 2 years ago. To me this place where suppose having those laptop ppl wifi-ing there or look 'high class' n rich ppl relaxing there with coffee, food n frens...n these ppl are normally hav good looking....hhmm...out of my expectation, when I was having my meal at Secret Recipe I saw many giant ladies lepak at the flea market...eem..may b I'm wrong or it was just coincidence I saw there are quite a number gua...hopefully it is not that way..hehe...ohh..since when this beautiful relaxing place with eye-catching chicks turn out this way. Aft meal not staying for long we go off.

Next, we heading to 1 Utama. On the way found this little monster making 'cake'. Once reached, I quickly clean n change him. Haha..first time using this restroom with baby changing room. Luckily manage to use it, coz I saw my cousin sis used before. Just pull down the hard fiber plastic attach at the wall then place baby on it. I'm not sure for other shopping mall restroom (not really notice baby changing room before this), but here in New Wing there are 3 baby changing room separately in male, female and handicapped restroom, which I think it is so touch n comfort for mummy/daddy needs. We continue shopping. Not walk into much shops, just heading to the one I wan to go. So, since aft having baby, my size change from 'M' to 'L', n more preferable to hav 'XL' now...duh! not dare to look at the mirror for long too in fitting room for my current body size -_-. Since current wardrobe almost all M size T I can't fit at all. Bought back 2 'L' size T (yeah, also bought 2 pants before this in 'L'). Hopefully it can serve current thirst for no-cloth-can-fit. I wan back my old figure aft 6 month...*finger cross* Going out with a baby not an easy task now. I no more using my trendy handbag since then, which fit in comb, mirror, tissue, lip gloss, lipsticks, lotion, parfume anymore, instead now sharing a big bag with all Terry stuff in it and all I hav only my purse n handphone to bring.

Terry boy just hav his right timing, once got into the car he only screamed for 'nen-nen'. Luckily need not to feed him in public. He just do not close his eye to sleep even I know he is tired. He just look around, pity his view only on the ceiling lamp when we place him in the stroller. Overall his behaviour is good n he is enjoy going out.

Once we reached home, place him in the bouncing net, without any crying he directly doze off. Half an hours later, wake up for milk then sleep again. His last call for 'nen-nen' at 10.30pm and my next feeding for him is morning 6.30am. So, imagine how tired this boy!

My day with Terry

Basically everyday my routine of taking care of baby is the same..since now i'm a 24/7 mom. As he growing up taking care of him is much more easier than the first month and now I can handle him more smooth, from bathing to cleaning to feed to nursing. Mid-nite wake was 1 time....and time of consumption also less than previous.

He is going to reach 2 months old next week...time flies, day aft day and it was just a blink...my day not really hard to pass..now I'm all alone taking care of baby...daytime no helper....mum just come n look for me aft a few days and stay for few hours ...the disadvantage is when I in the midst of cook or wash, he cries or screaming...there I hav to put down my work ...and run to carry or swing him...running in n out...the worst is if he is not sleep aft milk then I can't get my work done too and just nurse him to sleep...

Some progress growing of Terry...milk consumption 7-8 times...screaming n crying noise is getting louder now...started to smile and when talking to him he will like wan to response with some 'hhmm..ha...' sounds...he intend to putting his thumb into the mouth...that i always found his mitten are wet....

My breastfeeding consider stop now since 5th weeks...as I not putting him to breast and the milk is slowly dry out now...even put to pump, it not expressing much too...the main reason I do not wan to put to breast is becoz it is too messy. When I feeding him the left breast, the right side milk is dripping out....and baby n me is not comfortable when I put him at the right breast...I also do not hav the patient and his demand of consumption.

I hav voice this out to my church fren, she told me that it can gain back the milk if i wan...just to pump frequently say every 2 hours and not put to breast...so that it can take off my problem...I start trying now...hope it helps....but every 2 hours is just too fast....anyway i will try...reading the infant formula tin...saying 'Susu ibu adalah makanan terbaik untuk bayi' it was just like hitting hitting me to giv baby more breast milk than formula...and some advise of the benefits of breastfeeding, I hope that I still able to breastfeed him later...
