Bust my budget!

I've done so much shopping lately!
Gosh... I'll be so afraid to look at my credit card bill when it arrives! :P

Bought a nursing bra from Jshoppers.com which I love and would probably order more...
Panties for Kady which she is more willing to wear these days. :)
some jewellery which I'll keep for B'day presents for Godma & Mum.
some tops for Vera...
also did more shopping at kohls.com on some bodysuits for Vera & dresses for Kady.
some lingerie from maidenform.com
more clothing from Pumpkin Patch & Mothercare when I was at Vivo City
& a few more pieces when I was at the Motherhood Fair today at Expo.
I better exercise some self control! :p

Oh, we went to this new HK cafe at Anchorpoint abt 1.5 weeks ago...
food was good. Service excellent!
hubby bought the membership for $35 & with this you get $15 voucher which can be used on your b'day month which we utilized immediately since May was my b'day Mth.
They also gave us a bottle of Chardonnay for B'day person.
$10 voucher which can be used (we used this voucher the following week! :) )
Another voucher for 1 for 1 main course.
& also, everytime you dine there, you get 10% dollar value store into the membership card which you can utilize when you want to.
Quite a good deal, I say!

Today, we went to Orchard Hotel for their Dinner Buffet & didn't pay a single cent! :P
Why? 'cos hubby bought me the ala carte membership and it came with the voucher for 2 free buffet dinner. Kady get to eat FOC since she's below 5...
Food was quite ok. Had loadsa prawns and crabs! :)
Kady enjoyed the Durian puree the most since Durian is her all time fav food!

Took some pics of Vera & below are 2 of my fav shots of her...
Resolution isn't that fantastic as I took the pics with my mobile.

A lil update on Kady

Ever since Vera has been born, we noted a change in Kady.

Somehow, she has seemed to be more confident and less shy around strangers.
She used to be pretty shy and would hide behind hubby or myself when strangers want to talk to her or even our friends...

But now, she will automatically talk to people. Especially waitresses! LOL
She will ask for stuff from the waitresses or even ask them - "That's my mei-mei... Is she cute?" while pointing to Vera...

Quite cute actually! :)

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! :)
