Tanya in her carrier

Feeling really tired. Hardly time to come in and blog these days. I wanted to blog about the wedding and X'mas experiences but just haven't had the time. Hope can backdate it soon. Nights are crazy; with her waking up up to 4 times a night. Minus away the time spent for feeding and putting her back to sleep, some days I'm hardly clocking 5 hours of sleep. Sometimes, on her worse nights, she stays up for 2 hours at a feeding refusing to get back to bed :(

The good side is that I'm not working. I cannot imagine keeping such nights if I had to wake up for work the next day. I really hope she can sleep through the night before I start work again.

First time in Stokke

Sentosa

Here was us at Dolphin Lagoon.
(backdated) We visited Sentosa for Agnes' and Chris' wedding at Rasa Sentosa. We had to get a room otherwise it would have been impossible to make it with Tanya. I must admit the room rate was a tad steep, even with the wedding discounted rates, but it was a good experience for Tanya's first outing "overseas".

I must admit we were really lucky, because Tanya had one of her better nights that night and slept through til the 5th dish before she started crying and I had to leave and wheel her upstairs to our room. Just last night, she fussed and refused to sleep til 930pm.

Here's a pic of her all wrapped up, ready for bed in the cold aircon room.

Updates

Its been a long time since I've last posted. In this time, I fell sick. It was terrible being sick and waking up to nurse. But then something worse happened. Baby fell sick too :( Stuck nose, caught from me I think. We got some nose drips from the doctor and a tiny bit of medicine to be given to her orally via syringe. Hope and pray she gets better soon. Meanwhile, nights are darn tough as she cries fearfully in the middle of the night, when she cannot breathe. Totally heartache. So we gave up the aircon we had on every night and hope that helps.

Tomorrow, we will check into Rasa Sentosa, for my friend's wedding. I have to admit, I'm quite apprehensive about spending our first night out of home with Tanya. But even harder I feel, is that we'll be having her try to sleep at the very noisy banquet. Initially, I thought to attend it alone, while Ming watch over her in the room. But Ming felt we could handle her at the banquet. I hope pray he's right.

Meanwhile, I better make sure we pack everything Tanya will need for the night. Especially sleep in Rasa, sure very cold? Every night as is, she sleeps with a light romper in her grobag. In aircon, I will dress her in long pyjamas. Maybe I better bring 2 PJs in case Rasa is cold? And Moses basket for sleeping in the banquet hall?

Speaking of the grobag, we bought another one for her so we may wash ours. The pirated version by Lucky Baby for a fraction of the cost. BUT, its amazing the difference in sizes! The original Grobag we have is up to 6 months. When we buy the same size for her from Lucky Baby, it was too small for her! and she is only 2 months! So we changed to the bigger size, up to 9 months, and it was still smaller than the original Grobag. Geez, no wonder it was much cheaper...but never mind lor. At least she can have a change while we wash the original one.

Bathtime Baby

We turn two!

(backdated) Finally get chance to login and blog this, while Ming tries to put the girl to nap. She sleeps well in sling, but otherwise, its tiring fight trying to get her to nap, and stay asleep. She's so good in slings, we got her another sateen sling from MIM, so at least we could wash and dry the current one.

3rd Dec was both her second month and our 2nd anniversary. We decided to try to do some mini celebrations, test water see how she reacts. In the day time, she is generally okay, so long she's in the sling, night time was the toughie, as we normally bathe her at about 730pm, last feed 8pm, so she can sleep about 8.30-9pm.

So morning, we went Delifrance for breakfast, then popped by Metro to grab a couple of stuff for me. Then we popped by Takashimaya and grabbed a couple of items for Tanya baby and a small cake for our celebration before heading home for a break. We didn't manage to get anything for Ming, so in the evening we popped by to the driving range so he could whack some balls. I had to again feed in public, so I found an empty lorong to do our thing. After that, we went to Aston's for steak. As expected, her fussy time started and we had to gobble down our celebratory dinner :( and hurry home. I would expect we would not be celebrating X'mas nor New Year with any dinners this year. Lunch is still okay.

Maybe by Valentine's next year, she would be big enough and easier to handle? I must admit its quite disappointing. I was told she would be better after 2 months, when she was bigger, but no leh, still so difficult. I have friends whose baby sleep through the night at 2 months. How come she still, not only wakes up several times for milk, but is also sometimes fussy when awake. Naps are still the big challenge now. Hoping things will get better. Soon.

Botak Baby

The last few days been really trying. Not sure why the baby so difficult leh. Supposed to be getting better liao coz she 2 months liao. But either she wakes up in the middle of the night and refuses to sleep or she will refuse to drink after taking just one boob at night. So wakes up more often. I'm really tired because I need my sleep! My days become hazy, and I get more impatient with her. I think all due to lack of sleep ba? Hardly find the time to come online. But today is her 2nd month, and our 2nd anniversary. How much things has changed. Wonder what our celebrations will be like. Anyway Ming has taken leave yet again. Will update.
