The Apple's Diary!

I can't believe my ears when someone posed a question whether I'm working my helper too much. Hello! She gets more than 8 hours of sleep straight in a night while I still wake up and feed and pump, wash and sterilize twice a night. Who is more tired?! Seems like just because I'm home now on maternity leave, someone thinks I'm very free hor. I dare that person to take up the challenge of looking after a 2MO baby for one full week and then come and tell me who's more tired. And please, when I discipline my kid, stop telling me what to do and sing opposite tune. You had your chance before and you, you... stop making me being the baddy while you play the angel.

Hello everyone! My name is Jonathan... I am 2 month old today! Mummy has been caring for me since auntie left. I think mummy is doing well although sometimes mummy gets angry with me for being cranky. I got a new wardrobe last Saturday because I have outgrown most of my clothes. But mummy was very happy shopping for me :) I hope mummy will also upgrade my diaper size to M for me soon. Small diaper is very tight for me .. waahh waahhh

.... at the reunion with my long lost friend... my Teh-C. Decided to take the risk and had my first cup of caffeinated drink after so long. I must say... is heavenly!

I wanna be.... Hmm... let me think....

A gloomy news hit me in the early morning today. Feisty Princess Charmaine had parted the world. I have been following her story since it came out in the NewPaper in 2008. Her plight had touched many. This brave little warrior had put on a strong fight which lasted 4 years. I remember I was still single when her story first came to light, then over the years... I got married, bought a house, then got pregnant and now with Jon. Indeed, I feel doubly awful since I'm a mummy now. I can't imagine if my baby is taken away from me. Mummy Cynthia must be feeling even worse now. In a timely fashion, today's QT ( Our Daily Bread ) I am reminded how in our difficult period, we need not hang by our fingertips but rest peacefully in our Father's hand. This verse by Anon summed it all up. God’s hand that holds the ocean’s depths Can hold my small affairs; His hand that guides the universe, Can carry all my cares. —Anon.

Arranged an outing myself with a new-found friend. All decked out with Jonathan in the Manduca and traveling light. Verdict : Is doable with a short trip to nearby mall. I'm happy!

I smell freedom. I have my Manduca. I am set free!!!! After spending 2 hours at Baby Slings & Carriers , located at Square 2 and numerous demo and hands on practice, we paid $249.90 for my Manduca Newstyle in Black. Purchase with purchase was also done for the strap protector. Unfortunately it didn't come in matching colour. But I can't wait to use my Manduca. I can finally step out of the house alone with Jonathan. Shopping shopping.... here I come!
