My time alone.


There are times when we all will need a time for ourselves. Be it to sleep, watch television, surf internet or even just for day dreaming.

I always enjoy my time alone outside of my house, mostly in places like starbucks or coffee bean or any place that I can enjoy a cup of coffee without any disturbance. Just like now, I am now enjoying my cafe latte in starbucks while waiting for Bella to finish her piano class. The only one that's disturbing me now is my son, who is still kicking and stretching away in my tummy, refusing to leave his comfort zone. Hehehe.

I know I'm not suppose to rush him. I know I should let him take his own sweet time. I know. It's just that my lil big boy is cramped up inside already. Even  during the ultrasound scan, his face is partially squashed up and we can't get a good 4D picture of him. I kesian him la.

I think in just a week or two, I will be definitely losing my total freedom to enjoy my time alone outside, like right now. I will be the mother cow and tagging along with me will be my baby cow. If you read my previous post on breastfeeding, then you'll know how long my baby cow will tag along.

Sometimes it's scary how fast time flies. I remember in Chinese New Year this year, which is in January, I am still not pregnant and the freedom to do and plan so many things ahead of me. But now, all my plans to travel here and there, will have to put on hold till.....I don't know when. But then it's gonna be all worth it in the end.

Okay...I'm just blabbing away right now simply because I'm infused with caffeine. Hehehehe. I'm good. I'm happy. Still pregnant and happy about it.

Have a good night peeps.

Breastfeeding.


Breastfeeding. Tried and didn't work out with both my girls. That was 10 and 12 years ago. Probably was too young and not encouraged by many back then.

Well, I can tell you, this time around, I am very adamant to breastfeed my son. This time around I have my hubby and both my girls Bella & Belle to encourage me all the way. Lucky me and lucky boy! So far, I have read up as much as I can about breastfeeding. What to expect and what to do and who to contact or reach out to if I'm facing any difficulty. I want to breastfeed for a minimum of 1 year that's for sure. And with all the hands-free electronic breast pump, I am sure i can do it! Hehehehe.

My breastfeeding goals :

1. Breastfeed exclusively for 6 months
2. Breastfeed up to 1 year and beyond
3. Latch on demand as much as I could
4. Ignore negative comments
5. Breastfeed even though I am sick &
6. Persist & Persevere!!!

But of course, my main concern is just like any mother, will my breast milk be enough. We will soon see! I would be very happy for any suggestions or ideas that could increase my milk supply. I am now 37 weeks and waiting to pop anytime soon.

Here a picture of us....waiting eagerly for baby Dominic.


Hubby, Me, Belle & Bella.


Have a nice day everyone!
