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! :(

My fault
Everything is my fault when it comes to Piglet.
When Piglet has eczema, its my fault due to whatever food i had eaten during my pregnancy
When Piglet's eczema flared up, its my fault that I did not stay at home with her.
When Piglet's pacifier got lost in transit, its my fault for keeping the spare pacifiers at Redhill.
When i mentioned that Piglet's effective moisturiser is at Redhill, i m being labelled mad for using the current moisturisers at Bedok.
When i buy a Bumbo seat for Piglet, it is deemed useless.
In conclusion, its my fault that Piglet has eczema, its my fault that I have to subject Piglet to extra immunisations, I m good at buying useless items for Piglet and crazy for not letting Piglet use the effective moisturisers at Bedok. WTF!

Bumbo Seat
I got this yellow Bumbo seat for Claire. This seat is highly recommended by Chee Wee, a colleague of mine. Pirate King and I had let Claire sat in it twice before buying it!
We got the seat plus a tray so that we can feed her in this seat. This seat allows Claire to sit upright and develop her neck muscles so that we can play with her at eye level.
This seat is useful for me as I can bring her to any parts of the house while i do my stuff. However, Mum nagged at me for getting this seat as she finds that it is useless and does not serve any purpose. She rather I get a walker for Claire. Mum has her valid points for quoting that this seat is useless but at least, this seat can allow Claire to sit in her favourite position and observe her surroundings.
