I bought a new baby carrier for Claire last Saturday.
This carrier is a 2nd hand Babybjorn Baby Carrier Air. It costs me $90, a new one will cost $199! The reason for getting this carrier is that the current one (given by Michael & Polly) is bulky, no adequate support for the baby and straining on the adult.
The minute Claire is put into the carrier, she is so happy and kept on smiling at us. This carrier allows her to explore the world with her eyes and perspective!

Going for a holiday soon!
I bought Claire's air tickets on last Saturday. She still has to pay for the airfare even though she doesn't occupy any seat on the plane!
We bought her ticket at the SQ office at Paragon. The queue for us is short as they gave us a queue number designated for First Class passengers. How i wish we could travel First Class!
Mum suggested bringing Claire over to HK as her friend, Auntie Swee also wants to go HK. So, we will be travelling together to HK and Mum will be back with Claire at a later date. How long Mum and Claire will stay in HK is dependent on Claire's adaptability.
I m excited about bringing Claire for her first overseas trip but at the same thing, its quite a headache in packing her stuff. Even though, she doesn't occupy any seat on the plane, her baggage is more than us adults!

Juggles!
Juggles are never easy and i really envied those who can juggle between family and career well!
Piglet - The child who has been with me for 9mths (before birth) and now is 4mths++ old. She has quite a personality since Day 1. I will say she takes after Pirate King & me in certain aspects! It is a challenge looking after her especially she has this skin problem, Eczema!
Pirate King & I - Ever since Piglet is born, both of us did not have US time to ourselves. Everything is all Piglet focused. But still, Pirate King is as important to me as Piglet. I really wish I have some private time for him.
Family - Tough to accomodate to mine & Pirate King's family. Even though, i realised half the time we have to accomodate to Pirate King's family as they don't see the need to accomodate to us.
I m really very tired but there is nothing i can do to get out of this situation! I just prayed that everything will resolve by itself naturally!

Lazy bum!
Claire is a lazy bum and knows how to enjoy life!
She refuses to learn how to roll over by herself and she will scream when we put on her tummy!
Her head is still wobbly and she can raise her head high up on her tummy. She should be able to do all this based on her age development. What i can do is to encourage her more!
And her fave hobby is watching TV! That's what Pirate King dun like! But its such an irony, Pirate King likes to watch animations on his PC monitor. Mabbe, Claire takes after him on this aspect.
Claire likes to talk and interact with people. She will have this wide grin when you call her name and she will attempt to have a conversation with you!

Eczema - Part 3
Ever since Claire has been diagnosed with Eczema, it has been a constant worry for me.
Last night, her eczema flared up again and it was so itchy that she can't sleep. She woke up at 11pm, 1am and 3am. My Mum and I ended up being Panda eyed!
Mum told me to send Claire's for a blood test to check for any allergies that triggered off her eczema. The best way is to go to the polyclinic and get referred to KKH 's specialists.
I really dunno what I can do about her eczema except to pray that she will grow out of it as she gets older.

Who is going to take care of this little brat?
Well, as mentioned in the earlier post about hiring a maid to assist Mum in looking after Claire. This plan has been dropped as Mum is uncomfortable about having another person in the household even though the temporary maid is pretty good in doing her tasks.
Now, the headache is here again. Who is going to take care of Claire? Claire has became a cheeky rascal. She can wail till her throat is sore in order to get our attention!
Here are my alternatives:
1. Find a nanny
2. Put her into the infant care centre
Mum admitted to me that even though she can't bear to leave Claire in the hands of another nanny or at the infant care centre but she has no choice. So, Mum has managed to find an alternative solution, let Claire be taken care by our neighbour in the afternoon. This way, Mum won't be so stressed up on cooking dinner for us.
I did tell Mum that when everything fails. I will put Claire in the infant care centre near to Pirate King's work place.

Headache!
Its such a headache! Claire has started to recognise faces and places!
Due to Mum's health problem, we found a babysitter near Mum's place. When Mum bought Claire over to the babysitter's place, Claire wailed continously for 30 mins before she stopped. The babysitter got frightened by Claire's cries and told Mum that she won't look after Claire.
So, we had no choice but to get a maid. Getting a maid is no joke, I even have to do an online test in order to be eligible to get a maid. Cousin Pauline's friend is a maid agent, she loaned us a maid for the time being to tide over this period. Claire cried when the maid tried to carry her. When the maid played with her, she smiled but after a while, she starts to cry!
Basically, her reaction in recognition of face and places will really frightened people away. That's just my Claire. Sigh! :(
