X'Mas Is Coming To Town

Just one more week... Xmas is coming to town!!! Although i am not christian/catholic/rome catholic,etc...but it is still a day for celebration in my family. My family will gather around on the eve of x'mas to have xmas foodies which includes a xmas log cake and other nice local food such as satay.chicken wings.. etc.. as my family are not into turkey. Already ordered a durian logcake from goodwood park.It is their signature cake...

Last year, due to some order issue from goodwood park, i couldnt get my durian log cake and they compensated with another log cake and a box of 20 pcs durian puff.. It is also their signature !! So in the end.. my family still get to eat the durian by them..

When i order this year, i told them, i must get the Durian logcake this year. Will call again on monday to remind them again so that i can collect on 24th xmas..

Looking forward the makan session on xmas's eve..We also have xmas gift exchange session too..

Craft Learning..

A friend of mine, Jullie, is a crafting person. She likes to do tatting, crocheting and baking too..Early of the year, i tried to pick up crocheting but i am a left hander.. so it is not easy for her to teach me but she did managed to teach me the basic skills.. I tried for a while and my fingers are in pain as i pull too hard on the threads.. It has be quite a while till recently, my sister also trying out so i pick it out again.. Wish to learn the basic and try to make something for Cayden for his 1st birthday which is 8 months later so i am going to work on it.. If i cant self learn, maybe i should attend workshops..

New Arrival

This year seems to be a baby boom year (my sister in law, my neighbour and myself have given birth this year) , just like the year of pig. (3 of my friends gave birth on the same month!) It is because it is year 2008 or because of the enhance baby bonus given by the government?

Of course there maybe other reasons which i do not know. No matter what the reason is, i wish to congrats two of my friends who's child was born on 29th Nov 08 and 30th Nov 08 respectively.

Congratulations to Pauline on the arrival of your beautiful princess, Belle Tan on 29th Nov 08 and to Shenyang on the arrival of your handsome prince on 30th Nov 08.

Welcome to the world of Parenthood.

Although parenthood is tring but it is rewarding when you see your baby grows healthily everyday.

5-In-1

Last weekend, Cayden went for his 5-in-1 jab. Before the jab, he was to see the doctor for assessement check. Everything was fine except that his neck's strength was weak so he is not good at holding his head up. Doctor advised to do some exercise to make his neck to be stronger to hold his head as he have a big head.

After the check, he was going for his 1st dose of jab. He was dozing off while waiting for the jab. Cayden was a brave boy as he only cried at the point of the injection. After that he was ok and fall asleep soon. The nurse also mention that Cayden was a big baby for his age (3months old).

Personally, i feel that he is not that big, as i think the weight he had was ok. (6.6kg). Everything was ok for the whole day as nurse already informed that fever may developed and told me to monitor the temperature and saying that 37.0 degrees is ok.

On Sunday afternoon, his temperature was 37.0 degrees so to avoid his temperature from going up, i start to wipe him with cold towel and gave him cool pack to bring down the temperature. Medicine was also given and it turns out fine for the rest of the day.

For mummy out there, if your baby have jabs and have temperature of 37 degrees which is still ok for baby(fever for baby is around 37.2 onwards), still do some precautions so that the temperature will not hike further.

Baby Cayden

Seeing him growing, showing different face features and actions, really makes me feel that life is full of miracles...Although Cayden is a naughty, noisy and troublesome little boy but it is really fun and enjoyable watching him...

Back to Work

Today is the first day back to work after 13 weeks of maternity leave. Need to clear emails and then need to handle new project. Hard to adjust back to work so fast as i have not been working for 13 weeks.

Just to update a little:
My baby boy, Cayden, is going to be 3 months old now. How time flies.. His looks keep changing since his birth in Aug.. Had taken a lot of photos but have not upload to this blog yet but to facebook. Will try to load up asap.

It has been a busy 13 weeks as my boy is a naughty and noisy baby. But having him around is a joy as you see him grow every day..and we thank GOD for giving us a great gift like him. Our parents also happy of having him around.

However, you will still worried for him as you will worry that he is not getting enough milk, falling sick, etc. I think this is part and parcel of life..

2 more weeks

Two more weeks to go...

But it will be great if my baby is born this weekend as it is National Day this saturday!!!

If he is born on the National Day.. He will have the whole Singapore celebrating his birthday every year!!

Isnt that Great!!!
