And the week is gone just like that.....

Just as the title of my entry goes.... the first week of work has officially ended.

Been such a busy week that I barely have the energy to even come online at night. In fact, my life become quite a routine i must say.

Every morning, Justin either wakes up between 6am - 7am. So after feeding him, will either pat him back to sleep or just play with him until my mil comes back from her marketing. After handing over baby to her, I quickly get myself ready and head off to work.

The first 2 days of work was pretty horrendous to start with. Had more than 400 emails to clear and to sort them into either completed or to follow up or to take action immediately. And did I say that these 400 over emails are afterI have deleted away all the non-important emails which accounted about 300 over. (GOSH>..... i had close to 800 emails in a span of 3 months!! But was already much lesser than I expected.. haha..) After the first two days, it was time to start work proper and for me to get organise and setting priorities.

I must say, now every minute and hour really counts. Reason being apart from my lunch break, i need to set aside another 1 hour to express milk. And of cos, I really hope that I need not work overtime, so that I can get home quickly to see Justin. So thats left with 6.5 effective hours to work. Oh My!!! So everyday, I am almost like in a battle field.... to complete as much as possible. Good to keep my brains active after a 3 months' break! =)


And the best of the day is of cos my night shift... after a day of hard work, nothing beats getting home and seeing the smile on Justin's face. =))))) Of cos, once home, got to take over the feeding and taking care of Justin, and got to try to spend as much as time as possible with him, to talk and bond with him.

And by the time he is asleep, I am already pretty dead beat. Got to sleep soon, just in case baby wakes up in the night. But I must say, baby been doing pretty well.. cos he only wakes up once through the night for feed and usually after feeding, he will just fall back into slumberland!! Praise God!!


That pretty sums up the whole week for me. BuSY is simply the word!!

I am still trying to get used to the life and hours.. and I believe things willl get better soon. Now the only worrying thing for me, is that Justin is not drinking much during the day. He is still resisting the bottle badly, and he can actually drink only a total of 100-150ml over a span of 8 hrs. Haiz. Superbaby lor... everyday, I just pray over him , hoping for the day to come where he will just drink lots and lots of milk without resistance to the milk bottle. I believe prayer will work. Now just got to be patient and wait for the day to come.


Next week going to be a short week cos its CNY!! After that, its going to be 4 weeks of MADness... woot!!


So, here wishing myself and everyone I love,

恭喜发财, 虎年行大运

Vaccination Day



On Monday, we brought Justin for his 3 month vaccination. He is supposed to take his 5-in-1 jab, pneumococcal jab and his rotavirus oral dose.



I thought this little boy will cry his lungs out. But to my great surprise, he did pretty well!



When the doctor gave him the first jab on his thigh, after 5 seconds, he suddenly realised that he has been given a jab and started to cry. But he only let out 3 cries and stop liaoz. The same goes for the second needle that went in.. but this time round, he cried much louder and harder.. think it must be a shock to him, just when he thought the first one was over.

But I still think that my boy did pretty well!
Well done baby!!

But of cos, as expected, he came down with a fever by monday evening. It was the first time that I am experiencing my baby being sick, and moreover, its fever. So I literally was awake the whole night on tuesday morning. Took his temperature every hour and had to sponge him at some hours, because he was really hot and he was uncomfortable, causing him to keep waking up every hour.

Thank God.. by this morning, his fever is totally gone. PTL!!
