*phew*

OMG!! mummy survived 1st day at work yesterday without crying... eheh... today (2nd day) is much better... expressing milk at the office is kinda funny though... luckily i dah kautim ngan aunty (tea-lady) to use her room... :) not comfortable of using Surau as a place to breast-pump... huhu... if i have no other choice then surau it is...

Lots have going on with Armand since he's already 49days today... obvious things are:
1. He drinks milk a lot more.. per feeding is 4oz and above.. average 3-4 hours per feeding..
2. He 'pee-ed' and 'poo-ed' a lot too... in accordance to his intake i guess.. haha...
3. Every morning and night (around 8pm), he likes when you talk or sing to him.. and he'll respond to you with his 'gesture'... gugu-gaga.. ooo.. aaaa... pruuuurrrr....
4. You just can put him on the couch... and he'll talk and smile to the ceiling fan for at least 15mins without getting restless.. :)
5. He's bald now!!! look like Val Kilmer.. ahhaha... mummy bias..

how's mummy doing? alhamdulillah... i feel a lot better... no more stress of concerning whether i produce enough milk for Armand... and i'm considered lucky as Armand does not have any tantrum.. he always sleeps easily after feeding... if he sleeps at 10pm.. then he'll wake up ard 3am and 6am for feeding... if he sleeps ard 12... then he'll just wakes up at 4am... then next at 7am.. where mummy already fresh! :) so on average mummy does have enough sleep everyday...

weight loss?? mummy 'maintain' at 73kg now... from 90kg!!! huhu... i was 69kg before pregnancy... i'm targetting around 63-65 in another 3-4 months.. :) i'm NOT dieting! seriously... why? one day i tried to cut down my food intake... resulting... milk production no good! so nahhhh... that's too much to compromise... i really want Armand to have his mother's milk for at least 6 months... as long as i have it, so better not stop breastfeeding... yes, it's tiring.. but anything for your baby! :) any mothers out there which is 'less-milk' and 'out-of-milk' already... NO WORRIES!!! formula-feeding babies does NOT make you less of a mother!! :) your baby will still love you and baby formula nowadays is very very good compared to previously.... so no stress ya... enjoy your motherhood!

p/s: i just found out that 'thaw-ing' milk in the breast milk storage bags is wayyyy faster and easier... have a try yo!! and of course.. make sure your plastic milk storage is BPA free as well.. :) i used YouHaveABaby.com brand... lot cheaper than Medela... ahhahaha....

eating free-ly mum!

Armand's progress

Hi y'all... :)

We went to see paeds (Dr Sanjay Woodhull.. gituuu.. international tak nama tuh.. ahahha )on 6th May at SDMC... taking Armand's 2nd Hepatitis shot... also ukur2 him... he's now 4.73kg, 54cm... during birth it was 3.86kg and 49cm... doc said it's a good growth... weight is a bittttttttttt heavier than average... yikes! :) well... dah mummy nya pun sihat walafiat kannn... alhamduillah... he's less meragam than before.. but he likes people 'entertaining' him between 8pm to 11pm daily... huhuuu.. this is very tiring mannnnn.......

u need to talk-talk to him... sing to him...

then he'll get bored... i changed position and put him on his tummy... he still responds to your speech and singing...

he will get bored easily.. and this is the hardest part... if you carry him, he PREFERS you to stand! not only stand still... you need to walk-walk and hayun-hayun him! this is where i'm thinking of 'buai'... again.. if you open this topic to relatives or anybody... hmmm... they easily turned down your suggestion and said it's not good... don't teach him to sleep in a 'buai'... heyyyy... try la carry 5kg baby for 2 hours and tell me how it feels... *showing biceps* this is why i totally agreed with Diah and fully support her decision on what best for Nayli... i do understand what she's gone through...

after all the above efforts.. he will sleep and i reckon because he is tried already.... 

when he slept around 12.. he'll wake up ard 3.30am - 4am for feeding.. and lucky me he will sleep again easily and wake up for morning feed ard 7am... at one time he woke up at 9am! mummy oso slept very well with him... anddddddd... you need to change your bedsheet as well coz he'll wet the bed! diaper bocor okehhhh...

*phew* yes... i'm tired.. and to all new mummies out there... happy tired! eheh... and happy mother's day!!

Sing to me pleaseeee....

Armand loves to hear people sings to him.... from daddy especially... he just stares at you and smile once in awhile.... and came out with all sorts of sound.. hmmm... daddy said he'll be talkative soon like his mummy... 

opps.. guilty as charged!!
