Ah yes…we are on holiday to bali:) Kat is definitely enjoying her trip and so is mummy n daddy Kat, por por n gong gong Kat. What a great holiday for all this time round….keep a look out for my holiday updates when I am back….meantime, I shall go back to relaxing bali mode…:)
In contrary to Mummy Kat’s lack of motivation last weekend. Kat was busy impressing us with various things. Now that I am no longer stuck in the loo (I shall spare the details), I can finally share some excitement.
Daddy was experimenting with Kat and her play pen door and…
Our little bubble can now stand with assistance!!!!whoo hoo!!!! Her little drumstick thighs are standing!!!! Although she haven grasp the part where the only reason why she could stand was she was holding onto something. So the moment she started becoming proud and let go of her hand to be excited, gravity pulled her butt back to the floor. Well, we all know she’s gonna stand on her own soon so at the mean time, this little button can take her time to grow up.
Well…I am officially “Down” these 2 days. Apparently, I am writing after having just woke up from what felt like a coma + unlimited vomiting since yesterday morning. At least I feel human now (human= minus vomiting, add bad sore throat).
Anyways, this is actually the first major time I am down since Kat was born. As far as I try to be “Super Mum” all these while, I must admit that I am kinda defeated this time round. I had caught little kat’s little throat infection and it had amplify on Mommy huge time=.= However, the reason why I wanted to write this article was before Kat I was really sickly, easily catch a cold, cough, etc etc. But ever since being pregnant with Kat, this little glitches in my system seem to have take flight. AWESOME!
Super Mom and Little Kat at 2mths old
Well, the good and bad. Good= I haven been down sick for 7 months. Bad= Now that I am officially sick, I feel horrible.
Everyone I guess would like to know how Kat feels with Mummy sick. Well…nothing. She thinks Mummy is still Super Mum and was just crying to be carried by Mummy at 630am in the morning=.=|||…I guess it doesn’t make a difference to her then. Well I have my Super Mum as well and even now that I am married and have my own little girl, she is still asking if I want her to take leave to accompany me:) Love my Super Mum. I hope Kat loves me as much next time too…hehe
Working mum?yes.
Helper at home?no.
Infant care?yes.
Good helpful hubby?yes.
I bet many of you are working mums. Thou I must say that it comes with major adjustments but so far? It’s awesome. This is what you call a balance lifestyle. Of course there are some major adjustments. Thou it seem rather hectic to wake up at 6++ am in the morning! having just woke up at 3am to feed before that, then work an 8h shift of work, then rush home to pick, bath,feed the kiddo and then play with her until she sleeps then the cycle goes on. We are v thankful that our parents are there to help out abit with the chores, making this life of a working mum n dad so much better.
So is working mother ok and can u live with it? Of course!
A Snap Shot of Daddy’s Grass Patch
Brand Fanatics we are indeed! Why do I say so? Simply look at the grass patch that Daddy Kat finally got last week end at Takashimaya Fair. (FYI. It is an on-going 3 week fair so Daddys and Mummys out there, you cant miss it out).
We always have this dream of what we and our girl would look like and use even before she was born. So as far as it is “practical”, “useful”, we try to get things that look good also. Not sure if that is what happens when you have 2 designers in the house. But we were chatting casually on our way to work today and we were trying to determine which one of us, Daddy or Mummy is an impulse buyer. Well I guess it is for everyone to judge. But it sure makes us happy looking at the happy colors of the things that Kat owns:)
As we buy more stuff, we grow to like certain brands and keep buying things from them, or colors that suit what we have. Lets cover the simple section of Lil Kat’s possession when it comes to eating:
Kat’s Dish Rack : LAWN from BOON (www.booninc.com/products/Lawn/377)
Kat’s Zut Zut Holder on Dish Rack: STEM from BOON (www.booninc.com/products/Stem/397)
Kat’s Travel Spoon: Squirt from BOON (www.booninc.com/products/Squirt/B10124)
Kat’s Self Feeding Spoon: BLENDERS from BOON (www.booninc.com/products/Benders/347)
Kat’s Plate: Plate from BEABA (www.beaba.com/en/content/ellipse-1st-age-plate-bowl?tid=116)
Kat’s Spoon: Spoon from BEABA (www.beaba.com/en/content/soft-1st-stage-spoon?tid=246)
Kat’s Milk Powder Container: Milk Powder from BEABA (www.beaba.com/en/content/stacked-formula-milk-container?tid=23)
and to end….we got our favorite high chair for Kat and it is coming tomorrow!!!!WOO HOO!!!! Kat’s Green OXO High Chair…….Mum’s favorite color..heehee
Maybe I haven got off the excitement of having my own domain. I just have so much to write these few days. So just bear with me as I release my symptoms and continue blabbering non-stop…..hawhawhaw.
Part 2 of sleep when you can. I am not sure when, but Kat recently developed the “I don’t care! You must be there!” Attitude. As daddy Kat names it, “bullying mummy” attitude.
A fine example would be as I write this blog and lil Kat is taking her nap. Her butt is touching my belly to make sure I am there when she sleeps. Removing contact would simply set off an atomic bomb of cries.
Even right to confinement, I have always find it ridiculous for people to tell me to sleep when my kids sleep. To all mamas out there taking care of your kid alone during the first 4 mths, it’s absolutely impossible.
However as lil Kat grows up, it’s getting more and more relevant. This is because deep down inside them, this little monster called “tantrum” is growing and if you don’t make sure you activate ur dose button the moment she sleeps, you can’t be sure if you can get it when u want to.
Example? Daddy Kat is the perfect example. He had always wanted to blog so he decided to take some time off to read about it before starting his very own blog site (www.daddyinstinct.wordpress.com) Well, Kat slept soundly at 9, so deciding to rest, I slept at around 10, after face-booking, eating seaweed (absolute fan of Tao gei noi) and window shopping online. Daddy Kat on the other hand decides that he will go on the self enriching path of researching the proper way to create a blog and went on till 4am -.-
Guess what?lil Kat woke up at 5am to drink milk. By 7am, she was totally up. Tada! So we went on the day going out with Kat till about 4++pm and Kat was sleeping soundly in the car. Then daddy Kat said….”please continue sleeping.” And when we took her out of her seat, Tada again….Kat was wide awake.
I could see daddy Kat had the most dreadful face on him. Well, he eventually went on to sleep while I try to get Kat to do the same. Thankfully, now Kat is taking her own nap as well so they are lying side by side , snoring away..
Lesson learnt= sleep when your kid sleeps. Applicable to all kids and tods that have a tantrum.
WOO HOO!!!!It is finally http://www.mumnkat.com!!!
My little reward to motivate myself to continue updating and blogging, buying my own domain. Its so cool!:) Best online buy for year 2014 I must say.:D:D:D:D
