Have not been updated my blog for quite sometime..
Been busy with little princess and little terror. :)
Today is the last day for Bryant with NTUC childcare. I have registered him with Thomson MMI and he will start school this Friday. Hope he will like the new environment and friends.
8 weeks have passed and I am going to start work next Monday. Suddenly I do not feel like going back. :( I feel that I have not spent enough time with Sarah. But I'm sure MIL will look after her well. I am also worried Bryant coz this is the first time he is going to and fro to MMI in a school bus. What if he run in the bus and fall down? What if the bus brake hard and he fall to the front? I better stop having the negative thoughts else I would not be able to concentrate at work.
My resolution for 2009 is: Good health for my family especially my 2 kids.
To All: enjoy your last day of 2008!! CHEERS!!! :)

Princess Sarah
This is taken when she went to my mum's place for the first time
This is taken on Tuesday, 09/12/08 :) Her features has changed again.

A Mummy's Woes..
Everyone tells me that breastmilk is good for babies but they never said is so TIRING and TIME-CONSUMING.
After Sarah was discharged from hospital, I latched her during every feed, each breast 15mins but she would always fall asleep while feeding. When I put her down on her cot, she would wake up n cried coz was still hungry. Then I would continue to breastfeed again. It would take close to 1hr to ensure she is well-fed. After that, I would pump 30mins for the remaining milk.
As breastmilk is made up of 70% water and rest is other nurtrients, Sarah gets hungry easier. She would scream for her milk about 1.5~2hrs later. Therefore I gotta repeat the WHOLE PROCESS again!! *faintz* I look like a cow!
Now I feed her by bottle. So MIL can help me feed while I pump milk. I would latch her during the night so that I do not need to pump and can sleep longer.
Sarah likes being carry to sleep. She would wake up immediately if we put her back to cot. No choice I let her sleep on her tummy although the nurses reminded me not to as it is very dangerous but Sarah can sleep longer if she sleep on her tummy.
I really dunno what's wrong with Bryant. He kept throwing things all over the place and throw his temper for no reason. :( Deli used the cane on him but he still the same. My heart aches when Deli canes him. Last night Bryant was caned again for throwing his toys on the floor and at me. Deli caned him many times. Bryant cried till his voice became hoarse. There were so many cane marks on his arms and legs. I nearly cried but I controlled my tears from flowing out.
I think Bryant hates us now for always scolding and caning him. But I really do not know what I should do to make sure he understand all these things he done are wrong. Are we using the wrong approach? I hate to cane and scold him but sometimes he is really too much!
Bryant's childcare is also giving me headache. They kept accepting more toddlers but the teachers ratio are still the same. Bryant fell down last week during outdoor and they did not inform me. Bryant's both kneecaps and elbows are swollen. I only know when Bryant reached home and told me is painful. I called the childcare and asked them if Bryant had a fall and what I got back was "Oh? Did he fall down?" I was very angry and told them Bryant complained very painful and were swollen. The teacher said perhaps he fell down during outdoor. Children fall down is very common, but they should inform me even tho is not VERY SERIOUS that require to go hospital.
Bryant wore a t-shirt home that did not belong to him. I quickly called childcare to inform them and the teacher said they have put aside Bryant's t-shirt and would passed back to me the next working day. I went to the childcare that day itself to return the t-shirt but TILL NOW I still have not got back Bryant's t-shirt. I called and asked and NOW THEY SAID they do not know where the t-shirt is. They said will pay me back for the lost t-shirt. I am not chasing them for the $$, is that they should tell me is lost in the first place. I will not get angry coz it is common to misplace but I do not like people to lie to me. The childcare is always very messy during lunchtime as one teacher would prepare milk, one or two look after those who are still eating, two teachers are bathing the toddlers and one teacher would look after those who have finished eating and bathing.
Perhaps all childcare centres are the same, I am expecting too much. *shrug*

Bryant Blabbers..
SHE is finally HERE....
She is so SMALL.. and Daddy, Mummy and Ah Ma do not allow me to go near her. I do not understand why! I just want to play with her!!
I offered her my biscuits, sweets but Mummy said mei mei can only drink milk milk. Weirdo.. Got sweets yet does not want to eat..
I like to watch mei mei sleep. She is very cute. I like to kiss her too :) But sometimes I got too excited and started to get rough with her like pull her hair, pull her mittens or booties. I thought she is same like me and like to play peekaboo so I threw blanket at her to cover her. But mummy scolded me and beat me!! :(
Mummy and Daddy beat me very often now. They said I am a notti boy. They are using the cane on me. It is very painful. :(
I feel very insecure. Mummy used to carry me, now she only carries mei mei. So I always cry when she carry mei mei and want Mummy to carry me too. Then Ah Ma will carry me away. I do not understand why Mummy does not want to carry me!! Is it they do not love me anymore?
Nobody understand how I feels now. I am so sad. :(

Sarah's Thoughts...
I finally saw my family on 5th November 2008. *yawnz*
My Gor Gor is very mischievious. He always shake my cot when I am sleeping, beat my head when mummy is feeding me or throw things into my cot!
Though Gor Gor is very mischievious, he still loves me alot. Everyday after school, he will rush into my room first and called me. Every night he will kiss me before he goes to sleep. *yawnz*
I am allergic to cow's milk therefore I am on total breastfeeding. My mummy is like a cow now, she is either latching me on or pumping milk out. She is so tired till she can't wake up at night to pump milk. I hope she can hear me cry for milk when I move into their room this Friday onwards. *yawnz*
I am driving my mummy and ah ma crazy these few days by refusing to sleep in my cot. I only want to sleep in their arms. Partially is due to my blocked nose and also it feels good to be held tightly by them. *yawnz*
