Indigestion or gastric flu?

On the night 15 November 2018, I was so happy to be lying in bed at 10pm+ to rest. Then, baby girl cried at 1am+. At first I tot it’s just the usual cry for her pacifier. To my horror, I saw that she vomited milk all over her milk. I helped her to clean up and pat her to sleep.

After less than half an hour, she cried again. Once again, she vomited. Jianhui and I helped to clean her up again. When we went back to bed, we were praying that that would be he last vomit. However, she cried for the third time and this went on a few times theoughout the nights

I slept beside her and whatever she started to sit up, I would prepare plastic bag for her. But she will always push the plastic bag away. I tried to minimise the damage on her bed as it’s vomit all over now. In the end, she vomited a couple of times till morning. She has nothing to vomit until she vomited green fluid. My poor girl.

I had not choice but to apply for urgent leave to take care of her. Luckily, she was much better in the day. She only vomited once in the morning after milk and another time in the middle of the night.

While she’s getting better, mummy is down. I vomited and LS non stop from morning till late afternoon. It was very bad. I couldn’t eat or drink anything as everything would come out. Even my father in law got it. Just hope that both of us will recover by tomorrow.

I need a good night sleep!

Special 1111

For Lexuan’s first birthday, we held a small and simple party at home. It’s Winnie the Pooh theme as she seems to like Winnie the Pooh. We also ordered Baby Pooh Swensen’s ice cream cake for her. Thanks to my sis for helping to decorate the place and she also helped to order the balloons which are so cute! And thanks to daddy for collecting our favourite Ang Ku Kueh from Ji Xiang. As for Lexuan, she had her fair share of fun playing the whole party that she knocked out at 4pm+ and slept until 8pm before she woke up for milk and then went back to sleep again after playing for a while.

As for her actual day, we went for 1.9km family walk before we had breakfast at McDonald’s. Then Jianhui and I went for our run as our anniversary celebration. I really enjoyed running with Jianhui like old times before Lexuan came to our life. Jianhui and I wanted to go Jack place but in the end, the restaurant was closed. We couldn’t go Dusk as well as it was raining heavily. In the end, we had our late lunch at Bukit Panjang’s Ichiban. We also bought a small birthday cake for Lexuan before heading to my in laws place for dinner.

All in all, it was a beautiful weekend spent with our family and friends, celebrating Lexuan’s birthday and our wedding anniversary.

Happy 1111 as always!

Thanks to our family and friends for the gifts. Lexuan is a lucky girl.

Happy 1st Birthday to Lexuan

One year ago on this day, I was lying on the hospital, waiting for the arrival of our baby girl. It was a raining day as well. I still remember that my dialation was happening so slowly that I was thinking maybe our girl wanted to come out on 12/11/17 instead. And I told my family that they don’t have to come to the hospital as seriously we don’t know how Long it is going to take. l. Ultimately, with the help of the nurse and Dr Lim, Lexuan came to this world on 11/11/17 after 20+ hours of labour. It seems like she doesn’t want to miss out the fun on our wedding anniversary.

It was amazing one year had passed! Yes! Jianhui and I survived one year as first time parents! Totally unbelievable how we survived one year with lack of sleep and rest. It’s true that kids grow up way too fast! Lexuan was outgrowing a lot of clothes every other month. She has some dresses which become her top now. And it’s such a joy witnessing her achieving different milestones at different stage.

Becoming a mother makes me realize how is it like to love somebody unconditionally. And I finally understand what is a mother’s love for her child. It starts from the the time the baby is inside us till all the time we leave the world. (I can do imagine myself crying on her wedding day.) And how is it like you can get up from your bed to check out your crying baby no matter how tired you are. And how you can wake up every 2 hours just to check the temperature of your sick baby who is having a fever. And how you will wake up to feed your baby no matter how tired you are after a long day at work. And how a baby can make you smile after a bad day at work.

Happy 1st Birthday to our precious little baby girl, Lexuan. Daddy and mummy wish that you will be happy and healthy always. Be strong, be kind and love your family always.

Happy 6 years wedding anniversary to Jianhui and me. Thanks for your love and support especially for the past one year. You have been the pillar of the family, constantly working hard to give the best to the family and helping to take care of Lexuan. (PS: You are definitely the best HOD of the sleeping department.) After having Lexuan in our life, our love and bond has grown even stronger as we both work hand in hand to give the best to Lexuan. Jianhui, thanks for being my best hubby, best buddy, best supporter and best daddy! I love you and cheers to many many more years together.

And good job to myself (and my breasts) for the past one year of breastfeeding journey! 💪🏻
