What a night!

Vera's fussing again....
Cried from 10pm+ to abt 3am!!!
haiz... we tried everything.
nursing, carrying, patting, talking to her, putting her in the sarong...
all don't work.

This is not the 1st time she does this.
Has happened quite a few times...

In this aspect - Kady is a much easier baby to take care of.
She's a pretty good sleeper and usually I put her to bed at abt 8:30pm and as long as I stay in the same room as she is, she will be ok. if not, within 10-15mins of me leaving the room, she will wake up.

However, for Vera - she's a different case altogether. If I tried putting her to bed earlier than 10pm, she'll still fuss till god knows what time!

Hopefully, tonight will be better.

30 already!

just turned 30 a few days ago...
but it had to be 1 of the worst birthday I had.
the reason was tt I happen to fall sick with fever & engorgement the night b4 my birthday.

The day I turned 30 - I woke up with an engorgement worse than the day b4, giddiness & even vomitted.
Hubby had originallly made dinner plans but I was just too sick. so we cancelled.
Ended up we just had a small b'day cake to celebrate of which I had a tiny slice.

Mother's Day & Vera's offically 1 mth!

We celebrated Mother's Day with my Mother-in-law & Mum on 1st May.
Early celebration as we wanted to avoid the crowd.
Brought our mums to Grand Shanghai @ Copthorne Waterfront Hotel.
Below a pic of the restaurant. Food & Ambiance is quite good. But service so-so.
We spend abt $350 for 7 adults & 1 kid.




Vera's officially 1 mth today! :)
dh shaved her hair with a shaver despite me asking him to bring our baby to a barber instead. :S
Now Vera's head is full of patches of unshaved hair! Yikes!!!
My poor baby! *sob sob*

Vera's 1st month celebration

*whew* its finally over!
So very tiring...

we celebrated Vera's 1st month today.
Ordered from www.chillipadi.com.sg took the golden chilli padi package.
Food was good! the Curry chicken & Otah Otah was delish.
Dessert was Bubur Chacha... not too bad but found the sweet potato ingredient a little lacking.
Other than that, no complaints.

Vera has a lot of gifts & red packets.... dh just finished cleaning up the place.
the 2 of us can finally rest abit!

Vera's 1st milestone

Vera 1st milestone - lifting her head!!!

She was able to lift her head when she's only abt 2 weeks old.
Vera at 3 weeks can also turn her head from left to right now albeit abit shaky but she definitely can do it!

When I told my mom abt it - she said Vera's gonna be a stubborn girl! (according to old wives' tales).

Vera is also able to gauge where sounds are coming from.
When she's lying down & we call out to her - she will lift her head towards the direction of the sound.

Vera doesn't seemed like a baby who's less than a month old at all... Mother-in-law said she seemed more like a baby who's at least 2-3mths! :)
