FollowAll my 3 kids were expensive babies, with Alycia being the most expensive baby as she was a baby conceived via IUI, a type of artificial insemination. Sherilyn and Baby C were DIY (do-it-yourself J) babies but they were still expensive coz I took loads of hormone drugs and jabs to sustain the pregnancies and…
Yucky Goo Goo
Sherilyn has a bad runny nose. She hardly has runny nose but this time, it has been quite bad. I had expected her to get frequent colds as she has just started pre-school. For the past 2 weeks, thick goo has been flowing out from her nostrils like worms…. and they really do look gross, especially when…
Unable To Go For A Vacation
Baby C Loves Watching ‘Your Baby Can Read’ VCD
Apple Juice + Cranberry Juice For Baby C
Our nephrologist said that cranberry juice is good for preventing UTI and even recommended it to Baby C but Baby C hates it coz it’s darn sour! Most of the time, she would almost puke when she drinks the diluted cranberry juice. So what I do now is that I mix some sweet fresh apple juice…
Tea For Two
We had dinner at Tea For Two @ Bangsar last Friday. I ordered an oxtail soup which was very tasty. The meat was very tender and flavorful. I also had a large bowl of salad with lots of olives, bacon bites and grilled chicken breast. This restaurant serves Western food and has quite a cosy…
I Need To Treat My Blisters
I used to have calluses and blisters on my toes but they went away by itself when I stopped jogging for almost a year during my pregnancy and after the birth of Baby C. Now that I have resumed running intensively everyday, the darn blisters and calluses have resurfaced on my toes, bummer! I wonder…
Sherilyn Gave Me Yet Another Shock…
…. when I saw red lines that looked like bloody scratch lines all over her eyebrows and forehead 2 days ago. This happened barely a week after Sher drew her mouth with a black color pencil. I was bending down to wipe her mouth and forehead in the kitchen. When I swept her fringe away from her…
A Few More UTI Attacks And My Baby Would Need Surgery
We brought the MCUG film (MCUG done at HUKM 2 months ago) to our pediatric nephrologist at SJMC today. Upon looking at the film, Dr Indon told us that Baby C’s ureter is positioned slightly lower than where it should be, thus the cause of the frequent urine reflux. She then referred us to a pediatric surgeon at the…
My Baptism Of Fire
I am sure everyone has their share of baptism of fire when they first started out to work. I will never forget mine. My first major and important assignment was to be a Recording Secretary at a Domestic Inquiry (DI) in a large bank. The accused had committed criminal breach of trust. It was a…
Alycia and Baby C
Alycia and Sherilyn really dot on their baby sister and vice versa. At the sight of her 2 older sisters, Baby C will smile and squeal in excitement. Alycia has been a very helpful assistant to me. Every night, she would help me entertain Baby C whilst I take my shower. Alycia can even help…
Baby C Loves To Do Push-Ups
Sherilyn Gave Me Another Heart-Stopping Moment
when I thought my ‘kwai kar’ (naughty brat) ate some poison! On Sunday, I had cut up some fruits for Alycia and Sherilyn to eat for breakfast. I then went into the kitchen to make them cute car-shaped and fish-shaped eggs using the bento egg moulds that I had bought. When I stepped back to the dining…
How To See Urine That’s Infected
I Want Pink Hair Mummy!
I turned on the TV this morning as I sat in front of it and carried Baby C to collect her pee….. to be sent to the hospital for a urine FEME test. I switched the Astro channel to Travel & Living and what came on was Anthony Bourdain and his travel adventures. In that particular episode,…
Happy Mooncake Festival…. I’ll Ditch The Mooncakes And Eat Water Caltropes Instead!
Just want to wish all my readers a very happy Mooncake or Mid-Autumn festival. It’s another ordinary Sunday for us today. We skipped church today as Sher is still having a very bad cough and runny nose. Luckily Aly’s fever has subsided and I do not have to bring her to the paed’s clinic. I…
