some pictures within these 3 months

2 wks old

After 3 months..

Baby Zachariah is 3 months old after passing the fourth trimester of adjusting to the world ..phew!! been waiting for this day to come which means sleep for me is coming back again haha..

First 2 months having a real hard time to adjust..not mentioning super deprived of sleep but the challenges Luke gave me after his baby bro is borned. Zach is a happy baby, he smiles alot even when he wakes up n dun see anyone ard he just quietly stare n look at things ard him (hah, very unlike Luke which is the extreme opposite when he cant see me he goes crying or screaming frantically for MUMMY!!).

Zach weighs bout 7kg now very fat! The bigger size clothes 3-6 months is tight fitting on him. Ppl always ask wad brand of formula I feed him n when I reply I breastfeed, n i will get replies like " u so skinny n u can breastfeed ur baby till so fat" haha i guess the mother's size doesnt matter its the nutrition bb gets...breastfeeding is cool!! Regretted din do properly for Luke back then...Zach has also started to drool (Luke didnt when he's a baby then) due to teething. Nowadays he sucks his fingers so hard till they like kinda bruise but he still doesnt have the strength to hold a proper teething toy yet unless i help him to hold n he could chew on to it freely..

Taking care after Zach really reminds me lotsa memories when Luke's a baby, babies are really cute with their expressions, coos n smiles..but well they grow really fast. Look at Luke he's going to K1 next Friday already :( sometimes I wished I have 2 babies now...haha one is already enuff to make me busy..but they r really really cute plus can shop for cute clothings n toys all the tiny stuffs..

6 days to go..countdown to my zero freedom =X

Brought Luke to the playground yesterday's evening to 'play' lantern with candles. But he seems more interested in playing catching with daddy. I remember when I was younger, I like to 'play' lantern alot i think not the holding lantern part but the candles n fire especially those paper lantern when can burn everything up at the end of the 'play'..haha. Well, Luke got to know a new fren who is staying same blk as us, he is 5 yrs old..small size but very talkative n they play well together...catching n hide n seek.

As for today, brought him to ikea for lunch n waited for daddy to be off from work. We bought another "trofast" series cupboard in addition to Luke's current one n also another frame shelf with containers for him to keep his toys. My nesting instinct is super strong this week, I really have the urge to get everything ready n done 1-2 days before the arrival of Zach. But Im really tired now had a long day n tmr morning going the hospital for my CT scan which means I'll get to see baby Zach again. Wondering how heavy is he now...hmmm the last wk he was 2.9 kg already.

Now the last thing is waiting for the kitchen to be completely up with the cabinets n stove working n getting Zachie's stroller...Zachie is named by Luke. Cos he call himself 'ah Luke' or 'Lukie' n I dunno since when he got that idea to call didi 'Baby Zachie'.

Im counting down..a week to go..

Woot! A week..I got lotsa chores to catch up with all the renovation n dust going on, unpacking n settling. Besides that, I havent wash baby's clothings n havent got his stroller yet. Come to think bout it, the previous time when I had Luke everything was done 2 months in advance before his birth. Haha..didi's everything is like last minute. He better 'guai guai' wait till 20th then come out else no clean clothes to wear also cos I havent washed them :p

Aug updates

This month is really busy with all the dust, packing n decision makings n worries of course. Nevertheless, excitements n anticipations too. Its quite amazing after 2 days collection of house key n we shifted on the 3rd day including getting the lights up n heater installed. Luke has been complaining n nagging since he had to follow us all about to get the neccessary stuffs with all the travelling n bla bla...I hope to settle fast with the kitchen up n cupboards so I can start nesting...

Now as for zach, had my last checkup on Wed, he is weighing about 2.7kg in my tummy now. Drawing near to Sept then the 20th, the birth of him. I could no longer walk long distances now nor carry heavy stuffs there will be a pressure on my tummy. I feel my whole tummy is so tight till sometimes when I just have a meal I feel super bloated. That feeling is often worsen when he is awake n kicks me. He moves alot just like Luke n is responsive when Luke talks to him. Saw his face during the last 2 scans he has chubby cheeks n the last scan he was sucking his fingers. That's something new becos I havent seen Luke doing that in my tummy before!

The work continues...have to take all of baby's clothings n wash, fold n prepare for his arrival...alot of unpacking to do n rearranging of stuffs at home. Thank you GOD for everything, U made things possible for all of us within such a short period of time!

Luke is having his noon nap n I just happened to browse tru past photos. Looking at them I realise Luke has grown so much taller his face n hair style changes as he grows. Cant help but to start missing those 'little' days of him. Looking after him made us smile, laugh, worried n also vommit blood. He hasnt been in good health since 1 yr plus cos of asthma, but recently last checkup visit to his doc, he was discharged from those regular medi. So I guess the fussiness, cleanliness n hardwork was paid off..kinda reward for me.

These days at home time seems to be crawling, the things I could do becomes limited due to stomach. Was msn`ing with Clare yesterday as she was saying, when baby in ur tummy u wish him to be out soon, but the moment they come out liao u really hope they're back in ur tummy again. Haha but dat's quite true especially at times when u get so busy n u gonna pull ur hair.

August..guess its gonna be a busy busy month for us all. It also happen to be our anniversary knowing each other hmmm.. 13 or 14 this yr? I always count wrongly. Sometimes I wish time could turn back n I could slowly plan everything haha but isnt that everyone wished for too. I havent regret marrying young nor having Luke despite all the downs n ups...

updates..updates...

Quite happening this month, first it started with the sudden last min genting trip. Then lots of tea sessions with mummy n Ktvs including a gathering with pri sch frens. Perhaps some part of me knowing my freedom is coming to a short end hence keep looking out for activities now while i still have da energy. And yes, Im into da 3rd trimester, 7 months now..haha wad Im looking forward to but also kinda weary...

Luke enjoys rotting on the bed recently he could have his meals there n play his psp the whole noon like nobody's business but i keep reminding him these kind of days is shortlived becos he's going to start his education next yr n from then on is sch sch sch...he got bored of board games too after he mastered n got his japanese chess set that interest sort of died down abit n its a relief to me else he'll keep askin me to play when's there isnt anyone else available n i'll just get thrashed by that 'i dunno how to read pieces' chess game. One thing he'll nv fail to impress me since birth, that small brain of his is full of good memory cells.

Next is little Zach, the one in my tummy. We decided to name him Zachariah, Ryu Yao since Luke is Ryu Hao n Luke is Luke so we call him Zach for short. He's 7 months now n growing, but everyone who seen me all say Im skinny n tummy is small, I rem when i have Luke is quite similar also im still small in size only tummy abit bigger but Luke borned out quite heavy for my petite size..he's bout 3.3 kg. I hope Zach will follow kor kor else be heavier abit..else i'll feel guilty haha. Becos I koe i have been neglecting my vits n rest until recently. He's gonna be borned end sept..that's less than 2 months already. How time passes huh!

endless story

It's nearly 1am, as usual Luke n Colin's asleep. Feel so lonely dunno wanna do wad also, xiumei happened to msn me n we chatted abit n that stupid kaya sent me a song its quite nice but its making me kinda depressed cos of the tune n my tears started to roll when I read an email about LOVE something like the couple together quite long since young but saying ILOVEU is like a very shy thing to do even when they had kids n old then till one day they got bout 80 n one of them said to the other, the other felt really touched.
Sometimes I wonder y the ppl u love or closer to u, u dun treat them as much respect as u do to others. Isit becos u r too familiar with them or wad..I guess this happens to us in either role.

Been having weird n weirder dreams these nights, read bout it as part of pregnancy. Dun like it esp. sad n unhappy ones, they just trigger some unhappy memories. I wanna forget them all, if I can have a special eraser I wanna rub them all away. I dun wanna get reminded again n again or being emotional when I see some love stories or music...sometimes I really wish Im not born that sensitive n strong enough to be cold, cold to ppl whom treated me badly whom hurt me deeply but I just cant..can u understand wad im trying to say? I myself dunno how to cope also..
