Boy or Girl look?

This question will be asked everytime when strangers saw Claire, "Boy or girl?"

It gets irritating when Claire is clad in a pink dress and everything around her is pink, pink blanket, pink socks etc...... Okie, I dun like the overdosage of pink clothings on Claire but the clothes that my family and friends gave to me are mostly in pink!

So, throwing out this question to the folks who read Claire's blog, "Boy or girl?" based on the above pictures! I welcome all your answers as she is not wearing pink in the above!

PS: Do let me know of any places that sell girls' clothings in any other colours than PINK!

Who do I resembles more?

Hehe, based on the Look A Like Meter, Claire looks more like her father than me! This has been proven even though my in laws insisted that Claire resembles me!

Forward!

Ever since Claire discovered the joy of flipping over on her tummy, she has been constantly doing that. For me, my worry is that she will merlion and dirtied the mattress. That usually ends up extra work for me.

But my worry is unfound, Claire being a lazy piggy, she will only flip approximately 1 hour after her milk feed. This morning, I discovered something new!

Mum put her on her mattress and encouraged her to exercise. Claire just looked at Mum and do nothing. Once Mum left her alone, this cheeky gal rolled over and started to "crawl" forward! It was the first time i seen her do that and it is so hilarious! Seeing her making those sounds when crawling forward and resting halfway when tired!

Mum told me that its not her first time doing that and Claire seems to have an acute sense. Whenever, Claire "crawled" forward and almost out of her mattress , she will make noise and get Mum to place her back onto the mattress!

Eczema - Part 5

Last Saturday, Pirate King & Mum brought Claire for her 6-in-1 jab.

Guess what, Dr Chan gave her the Prevenar jab too. I had prepared a list of questions for Dr Chan to answer. Dr Chan answered most of my questions and she even prescribed an expensive cream for Claire 's eczema. This cream is expensive but steriods free.

Claire has developed this nasty habit of scratching her head (i suspect due to heat rashes) and her body whenever she can. Thank god, her eczema did not flare up as badly as per her last 2 jabs.

We suspect it could be due to bathing her in bitter gourd vines' water, giving her more water parades, letting her sleep even more and mabbe those creams & lotions that I had applied her with.

My only consolation now is that her face is getting better. Hopefully as time goes by, her hands, body and legs will recover slowly! Now, her legs are the worst!

Also, she will be seeing the specialist at KKH on 7th April, I hope the doctors there will be able to conduct those allergies tests on her to determine the real cause of her eczema!

Happy things!

Even though, life has changed alot and time passed faster since the arrival of Piglet.

The happy things I discovered last week,

1. Learning that Piglet has finally rolled over by herself
2. Having some US time with Pirate King - Just watching Lust, Caution at home
3. Managed to catch some sleep on Sunday morning!
4. This might sound gross, being able to pass motion! (I was constipated for 1 whole week!)

So, i strived to do the following:

1. Reduce the amount of nagging and shouts at Pirate King (usually related to Piglet's stuff)
2. Try not to be irriated by my in laws' behaviour and words
3. To tell my in laws' firmly not to kiss or touch Piglet too much (coz of Piglet's eczema, plus me as the Mummy also did not kiss Piglet!)
4. To be more relaxed about future child care arrangements for Piglet

How much sleep do babies need?

Claire is up to her tricks again last night!

She woke up at 12.30am, 2.30am and 5.30am. I am a panda today and nursing a bad headache!

I seriously wonder how much sleep babies need? Based on the guideline, between 3 - 6 months old, she should be sleeping a total of 12-15 hours.

This little rascal dun seem to be sleeping that much. Sigh, i just pray for the day that she can sleep through the night without waking up!

Sleepy...

Very sleepy and having a headache......

Pray i could sleep well tonight.
