It's my birthday!

No celebrations.

All I want is to have two hours of uninterrupted nap in the afternoon. Impossible, who will help me to look after my babies? Completely impossible at night too, because Lilymay will wake for her feed in the middle of the night. But it is alright, she only wakes twice at night, which is quite OK for me.

Well, I am 35 this year!

No presents. Sugar bought me a Rolex. The Rolex is more of a 'push present'( more about the push present in other post later). So, he said no birthday present for this year. I do not mind, as I have lots of love from him and the babies!

Life is good, can't ask for more!

Greatest gift of all...

What a lovely Sunday!

Sun is shining, the two little ones are having their afternoon nap.

I have time to have a cuppa and go online, what a relaxing afternoon. I am also listening to my Ipod, after so long... it's been awhile, quite awhile.

I hope we have more sun, the past few days have been raining and I have been lazy...All I want to do is to catch up with some sleeps.

Today is absolutely wonderful, but Sugar is working the whole afternoon, therefore, we are not going anywhere. Yesterday was pretty cool too, it was my very first time going out with the kids, completely on my own bringing two 'babies'. It was not as bad as I would have imagined! We went to a friend's house, the Tus, and they have two sons, so Jinc was having a lot of fun with the two boys. I am looking forward to going out more with my two babies.

On another note, Lilymay is ten-weeks old, and she is such a darling!

Photobooking

I have been creating photobooks for Lilymay for the past few weeks. I have been doing that for Jinc and now, I am so busy, I have got two children and I am creating more photobooks for the both of them.

I really enjoy doing it. I enjoy taking their pictures and instead of printing those photos, a photobook is more practical for me.

Received the photobook in the post the other day. The picture quality was not as good as before. I don't think so I will order from Bootsphoto again. The reason that I still use Bootsphoto is because I have bought the credits for photobooks a year ago. No choice, I will have to use up all the credits. Will create and purchase photobooks from another site instead.

Jinc has a temperature :(

Jinc has never had a temperature since the day he was born. During the teething stage, and also after his immunisation, he was always fine and normal, and I am so proud of him.

However, he had a temperature yesterday for the very first time, 38.9C, which was quite high. I was a bit panicky, first time...the very first, I did not know what to expect and what to do next. So I rang a friend, who is an experience mom of two. We did not rush to the GP or A&E, I just continued to monitor his temperature, let him wear loose clothing, and make sure he did not get too hot. The temperature came on and off, so I got worry and rang the GP, according to the GP, it looked like he had some viral infection, and advised me to give him some Calpol.

I did just that, Calpol every four hours, continued to monitored his temperature. He acted normal, he had his night time milk as top up, he had his meal and snacks as usual, I gave him lots of water to drink. He went to bed as normal. As I said, it was on and off. The whole night, I did not quite sleep, I was worried.

It really worn me off the next morning. He still had a bit of temperature, but it went away in the afternoon. He was all well and happy. What a relief!

I can cook!

These days, as I am looking after a baby and a toddler all by myself, I hardly have time to do proper cooking regularly.

I love cooking and enjoy cooking for friends and family. Sometimes, when Sugar is around, he will help me with the childcare while I stay in the kitchen to prepare delicious meals. I really enjoy my time in the kitchen, from food preparation till the washing up of dishes. I love every bit of it. I have never imagined that I have become so in love with my kitchen!

I cooked some Malaysian style Pan Mee today. I can easily get those flat noodles from Tesco these days. I cooked the dry ones, oh, so yummy that I forgot to take pictures!

Rasa Malaysia is my favourite online recipe finder. It has lots of my favourite dishes, and mouth watering pictures. Love good food photographs on the site too. I am sure those dishes taste as good as they look!

Every day amazement..

Jinc can easily put a bin liner to the bin without us teaching him how to do it...amazing!

He is a very observant little boy and he does copy things we do around the house. I also notice that he can remember words that we have told him once. Just once! For example, he would point at a picture of horse and said it out loud 'horr'! I have only taught him once!

When we are reading together, I will point at pictures and tell him the words. Then when we finish, I will go back again to the picture and say the words, without pointing at the pictures, he could easily points out the pictures. How clever! He is just eighteen months old!

He is my smart little baby!

Lily May first immunisation

Took Lily-May to her GP for her very first set of immunisation and her eight week check. First jab, all ok, and she was so strong, she cried a bit, and the whole day, she was not grumpy at all. My brave little girl...

As for the eighth week check, everything was fine, except that she has got mongolian blue spot on her left ankle, which I thought was the mark caused by the hospital ID tag. The GP assured me that the spot will eventually fade away as she grows, I hope so. It looks like a bruise!

At eight weeks, Lily-May is 5.7kg ( 12Ibs 9Oz). She sleeps well and she is a very happy baby! She made me a very happy mum too!

I still cannot believe it , that I can actually look after two very young kids (Jinc is 16months old and Lilymay is 2 months old) at the same time!

My mini-me!

Every one says Lily-May looks so much like me. Bless her.
She is eight weeks old now. Sleeps well and she is a very calm baby, so much easier than Jinc!
