turn and lift, she did it!

after her nite feed just now, megan poo poo and i got to change her diapers... after changed and still laying on the changing mat, megan turned over, and lifted her head up without any help from us! she did it! whenever she turned over, she couldn't lift her head up and her arm was kinda 'stucked'... but not tonight, she just demonstrated, twice, that she can do it, and so the yaya-papaya that she wanna do it the third time... no way darling, bed time means bed time... tomolo evening (this evening, actually) we'll play when we're home... :)

oink and squeak

another sunday gone... in another 3 minutes...

went over to mil's place, and had to wake megan up... and maybe that explains that gloomy look... so is so like me, never liked to be disturb from sleep... :P

 

gloomy outside our block...

gloomy inside the cab...

but she is so happy to see nicky... and i think nicky is even happier to see megan... both of them seems to click pretty well... ghee... 13 years difference wor... i dun even know if i have a cousin whose 13 years my senior... :P

its so cute and sweet looking at both of them...

one says 'oink', one says 'squeak'...

she roar, she pinch and she bites...

not actually bite thou... more of 'gum'...

this afternoon, as usual, megan and i were at the living room watching tv... if i'm not playing xbox or eating peanuts, i'll put my arm over megan and she'll hold on as if holding on to her bolster... today, its kinda different, it seems she wanna get a bite... (btw, no arm was hurt in this project...)

this evening went out to meet my frds to discuss shiwei's wedding thats on 2 weeks later... before i went off, i realised i was wearing the same colour as megan... :)

and, next week, we will be giving shiwei a nice little bachelor nite celebration... i dun know, sometimes it feels like us being more happy and excited than the groom-to-be... haha... 

on a sunny morning,

our usual route from our place to megan's nanny looks something like this... a very straight forward route... and only 10 minutes of walking...

 

and this morning, we woke up and saw that the sky is kinda black black... so we quickly got ourselves ready to get megan to her nanny's place before the rain started pouring... just as we are about to leave the house... BANG! a loud thunder... and came the pouring rain...

so LL, we put megan in her pram and cover it up with the pram-rain-coat... so, off we go! after walking for a few minutes, we decided the rain is too heavy to continue the usual route, so we got into the hdb and hit our first road block... no shelter, no ramp, lotsa road kerbs... so we turned back to go thru the covered carpark and hit another road block... if we cross at this junction, there is no shelter for at least another 20m... and so, we took the last detour and finally reached the nanny's place... our usual 10 minutes walk became a 30 minutes walk... kaoz...

 

coming to think about it... the yew tee council should make more covered walkways along the road wor... this is our first walk in the rain with megan... and then only we found out, how inconvenient our area is...

"doug! we have a bad day! again!!"

yup, you heard me saying that again... this morning, megan had loose stool after her 5am feed. we were like 'shit'... but still carry on to getting ourselves to go to work... joelle was on the 7am shift, so she left home earlier, whereas i got myself ready by 7am and went over to wake megan... unlike her usual self, where she usually woke up with a smile, this time she cried... tot she was angry being disturbed from her sleep, i carried her to her pinky chair and walked away to put on my shirt... only a few paces away, i hear this ear-piercing cries from megan... and this time, the cries were different and i got to bring her to see a doc... and so i called joelle, who was already at the the highway... while talking to me, rach could hear megan's crying from joelle's phone... that's how ear-piercing it can get...

and after her 8am feed, she poo again... and loose stool again... she is having diarrhoea, that's for sure... took a shot of her loose stool to show the doc... and megan, dun really look that sick thou... i think, she is a very strong girl...

with smiles like this, who can tell she is recovering from flu and is now having diarrhoea?

 

tried this camera effect on megan... a little blurry but still not too bad lah...

and... now, thats very fierce wor...

ahhh... thats more like daddy's cutie girl...

 

now she is all ready to go see the doc... dun think she look nice with the hair band... or we didn't wear it correctly for her?? i dun really know... looks like rambo thou... :P

 

and this is even worst... looks like 悟空 from 七龙株 comic...

and we're on cabby to tmc... last week there for her flu, this week there for her diarrhoea...

after checking out with her pd... we realised that the loose stool she had is called mucus stool... and she could be having diarrhoea due to bacteria infection as she is putting toys and fingers into her mouth nowadays... and also the dietary change as we are introducing cereal for megan... so it means, no cereal for her, diluted milk for her, more cuddling for her until she recovers... and of course, another $90 from us... :P

the good news is, megan is still able to feed... but she is still not feeling well as she continues to LS (lao sai) even when she is back home... 5am, 8am, 1pm, 3pm... all got LS...

a real serious danger from diarrhoea is dehydration... doc say if she is able to feed, then it is ok... despite megan being able to drink her milk, we still keep a close lookout whenever we feel that she is thirsty, so as to replenish her water supply... she is very sweaty at times, so its still best to give her water between feeds...

and, we ordered kfc for lunch... saw this super tuesday promotion, $20+ for 8 pieces with whip and coleslaw and crunchy bite... yup, you heard me, 8 pieces of chicken meat... joelle took 2... and you do the maths... i'm amazed i can finish 6 pieces of meat... my personal record! (chek, nothing to be proud of thou...)

oh ya, joelle bought this... this... ballerina stocking thingy for megan from the hospital shop... i almost fall off the sofa when she put it on for megan... its so tight... but cute thou... megan dun look comfy at all... it seems she can split it open like incredible hulk...

another day gone... i wonder, did the govt says anything about protecting parents who took too many leaves for their kids?? i meant there is some 'protection' for preggies now, what about parents?

"... You must have flexible work arrangements so that it's easier for women to have both, to work and to have children. And you must have family-friendly employers who will make this happen. So they make the practical arrangements and their attitudes when you go – they don’t make a sour face and they don’t make you feel like there is a little black mark recorded in your annual confidential report..."

thou pm lee just mentioned it briefly in his national day rally...
