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.
