Day After The Jab

Phew...Ray didnt get fever from the jab and he was behaving well just like any other normal days. So we decided to go shopping and buy him something to hang on his pram. Read: ITS NOT A REWARD. You see, a pram is just a pram unless u add stuff on it then it becomes a learning centre for him to explore and to see (i know...bullsh*t right?). Anyway we saw this and couldnt resist and pa pa mui hang it up immediately after we paid for it.


This hanging mobile is really good...it produces such nice therapeutic chime like sound even i feel like dozing off when i heard it. Hopefully from now on, the hanging mobile will keep Ray entertain whilst he is in his pram.

3 Months 2 Days - Karaoke Session

Took the day off to bring Ray to the doc to get his vaccination. We were told that some babies had fever after taking the vaccination and we are not going to let Ray go through this alone if he really has an fever so both of us took the day off and went with him.

Weight - 7.5kg, Height - 61cm. Ray has grew from his newborn weight of 3kg and height of 47cm. As usual, Ray cried when the nurse injected the needle into this THUNDER thigh but within a minute he will simmer down. The doctor said that Ray's neck is still lag (as in wobble) when he sits up but his neck is fine when we hold him standing so it could be a weight/ size issue that caused him so. No cause for alarm and the doc will review him next month again.

For the past 2 weeks, we have seen significant changes in Ray. He has learnt to smile to people, to turn his head left and right and to grasp object. And he has also pick up singing....and he loves to sing with me. And of cos, his favourite song is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

First Week At Work

Woke up at 6am, expressed the mil and fed Ray. Everything went according to plan and Ray and pa pa mui were out of the house by 6.50am. A call to my mom was made to fetch Ray when pa pa mui arrived. Fantastic....took a nice shower without having to worry that Ray will scream anytime. Took time to put on my make up and pack the stuff required to express the milk in the office.

7.45am, i was already out of the house looking not too bad. Walked to the mrt station and took the ride in the mrt during the morning rush hours. Took a book out to read but fell asleep after 2 pages.

Survivied through the morning, expressed milk at 11.45am. Off to lunch and came back to office and slough through.....4pm, another milking session and i am so counting down to 6pm. Where i will rush home to pick up Ray from my mom's. My mom has been doing good....and usually i am the one calling to check on Ray. However, the calls has reduced now from the first day 6 calls to now 2 calls.

This is a typical everyday of my Mom's, Wife, Housewife, and a Working Mom's life. Am i complaining? Not really, in fact it feels good to be back at work again.

Weekends - Sun

I have been buying rompers for Ray lately and i came across this sleeveless romper that i knew i had to buy. At least it is different from the 99 pcs of rompers that he has. And when i dressed him in it, he just has this very hip hop/ rapper vibe and i suggested to pa pa mui that we accessorise him. We couldnt find any bling so we decided GOLD will suffice. I mean way before there was bling, it was huge chunk of gold to represent Hip Hop/ Rap.

Couldnt control myself as i was laughing away from the photo sessions. I mean pa pa mui was trying to create the hip hop/rap ambience in the pictures but Ray had all these funnie faces going on.


Hip Hop!! Hip Hop!! Suddenly i have this image of MC hammer in my head. (Can't touch this)

Weekends - Sat

I am going back to work soon and this is the last weekends that the three of us will get to enjoy the weekends completely. I dont know how the weekends after i start work will be but i know time will never be on my side. So...here's us lazing around in bed....

I thought i am the tired one but the both of them actually fell asleep in this picture here and they maintained in that position for 20mins.

And us pigging out at Coffee Bean....


I think Ray has knew what food is cos he was actually trying to snatch the bread from my hand....well, maybe not. He only knows milk...and only breastmilk.

I guess he is just curious abt what i am holding in my hands.

Pretend Got Serious

Last night, we decided that the routine of "dropping" off Ray to his grandma's place should get real and we have agreed that we will leave the house at 6.50am today.

But....with a baby, everything is only good when it comes to planning. Nothing is fulfill until you have actually executed it. You see...we didnt leave the house at 6.50am. Ok ok...pa pa mui did. He left the house whilst Ray and I was still in bed. You see, what happened was Ray woke up at 3am for a unexpected feed. He usually sleeps through the night from 10pm to 6am but this morning he decided that routine was NO good. Sigh....okok, i know its BAD BAD of me to blame the baby for not being able to wake up. But i was just too exhausted to get out of bed.

However, we managed to get Ray out of the house at 12.10pm, at least half a day is better than nothing. Here's Ray, playing dress up as a Towkay. He is now known as the small boss of his grandma.

ZzzZzz....

Today, i went out with Ray all by myself. We didnt take pram so i carried him in a sling and took a bus and a mrt ride to Bugis to meet my girlfrd.

Ray was really curious on the mrt ride as he refused to be strapped to the sling. In the end, i have to hold him standing through the whole 40mins ride while he soaked in all the things he has not seen before.

He even stared at the lady seated next to us for a long long time. However, the lady was sleeping away so Ray didnt get to impress her with his smile.

And we hang out at Mio's place for half a day. She has delivered Nerisa, a very japanese looking baby gal who has a head of BLACK BLACK hair!!

By the time we reached home, Ray was tired out and i didnt even need to hold him and he just fell asleep on our bed.
