A confusing tag for all prettie mummies

Get tagged by Sasha for this prettie mummies tag.

The rule to the e-mail was that, once you have been hit, you have to hit 5 pretty Moms, including the one who thought of you today & sent it to you. The idea is that if you get hit again, You will know you are really pretty!

So I thought lets just turn this into a tag instead. But that "hit" part won't work very well in a tag. So instead of giving a "hit" to the one who tag you, you add your name at the bottom of the tagged persons list, and without bumping the person at the top or bumping anyone off and let the list grow.

Prettiest Mom

Hit 5 pretty moms on your list to let them know they are pretty!

Before I was a Mom

I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom

I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom

I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom

I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom -

I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom -

I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

No mood

I'm in bad shape these few days...

Received my performance feedback review and it was sucks!!! But in fact, it's what i predicted but i don't wish it comes truth. But anyhow, i did! DARN!!

I started to hate my current job. It's very hard to work when you hate whatever you are doing now. But, i have a son waiting for me at home and recently we decided to buy a house and the deal actually came truth. So i cannot walk out from my job. Frankly, if i don't have any commitment, i will walk out from where i'm working.

No matter what, life still move on, cannot let the small hiccup ruin my life, i have a cute little pie waiting for me at home.

Yippie, finally...we bought landed property

After few months of house hunting activity, finally....we found it...we found it

Actually, this house never come into our consideration, and it's totally out of our initial budget. And how come i'm so happy and excited with it? The story is...

One fine day, me who has itchy hand, flip through the advertisement in the local Chinese newspaper and saw the advertisement on a 2 1/2 storey house for sale. So, i just call up for fun, ask for the price and schedule for house viewing.

So, on that day, me and hubby went to see the house. First glance, we like it. The owner renovated and maintain the house nicely. The down side is the price that the owner ask for is very high, then we negotiate, negotiate and negotiate...and even send my accountant mom to talk to the owners who both husband and wife are tuition center owner. When need to deal with teacher, most people will a bit afraid as usually they are really good in doing mathematics, and this is what we faced. That's why i asked my accountant mom to talk to the owner....and after few days' negotiation, finally, we came to a conclusion...YES, we got it!!!

In return, one of the request from the owner is, he will continue to rent the house with us until his new house is ready. He bought a new house at Bay Garden at Queensbay. So, we will let him stay in the house until his new house is ready, but of course, he will be tenant and we will be the owner and...we will collect rental from him!!! wwwuuuaaahhhh, he will help us to pay half of the housing loan for at least 6 months, better than nothing...:p

And...what will happen to our current apartment? Hubb and I love this apt sooo much, and we decided to keep this apt and probably rent it out. Anyone who come accross to know anybody want to rent an apt, can let me know ya :)

GOD hear me or co-incident?

After i fully breastfeed my lil boy for 1 yr, hubb gives green light that i can slowly start to kick in formula milk.

Somehow rather, the process to introduce formula milk and stop expressing milk seems to be a smooth sailing process to me.

I had bad fever on the day after my lil boy's BIG ONE. I need to take fever and flu medicine. I hate to take medicines while breastfeeding. Furthermore, the medicine will make me drowsy and dry up a bit of my milk supply, so hubb and I decided to give formula milk a try as i afraid all my frozen milk will get consumed up. To our surprise, our lil boy take formula milk happily. And since i need more rest at night, so i stop direct feed my lil boy as well. He doesn't make any fuss when he can't latch on and sleep. He took the formula milk from bottle, then go to his lala-land happily. Maybe he can sense that mummy is sick, so he want to let mummy have good rest.

As for stop expressing, i don't like this very much. The incident that make me stop expressing is, my lil boy was infected by airborne virus, and he vomit, fever, diarrhea for almost a week. I'm busy taking care of him, worry about his condition, and thus, no mood to express milk. And since there isn't any pain at my breasts when i didn't express milk for 3 days, so i take it done deal, am not going to express anymore.

So today is 8th day of not expressing milk, no engorgement, no breast pain..I would like to announce the closure of Joanne's Milk Factory!

Lil Kelvin, you will still get to take mummy's breast milk, but those are frozen. The frozen breast milk can last you for around 2 weeks. After that, there will be no more mummy' s milk milk ya!

I do enjoy the breastfeeding moment that i have with my lil one, but life goes on, i need to stop it sometime. And seems like GOD hear me..or it's just co-incident?
