Baby Jenhong

It has been long since I last wrote here. My mom and sisters came last fri/sat respectively, they stayed here until Tue and fly back to Kuching. While they were here, life is so much busier compared to just taking care of Jenhong by myself.

My mom and ah Jia arrived on Friday night, hubby went to pick them up. By the time they reach my place, it is almost 11pm. The first thing to do is…… guess what?

Of course is eating my beloved KOLOMEE!!! Haha…
Wow, it is really feeling good after eating one packet of kolomee for supper. The last time I ate kolomee was in mid-Aug, when my uncle/aunty came. Hmm, still like kolomee as ever!

Since it has been quite late, we didn’t do much, and they get to bed earlier to rest. The next morning, we had light breakfast at home and waiting for ah Girl and Philip to come. Initially thought they arriving around 10+am, but who knows in the end, they arrived only around noon time… so hungry! Not long after they arrived, we immediately get ready to go out for lunch, too hungry. We bought them to Mizi Bistro to try some western food, since my mom never eat at a western restaurant before, thus taking the risk to bring her there =P

After lunch, I feed baby Jenhong his lunch before we head to Queensbay Mall. We have a walk at Jusco, shop for some baby stuff and daily stuff too, Jenhong was really quiet, he really likes to sleep while going out. Basically, the entire trip outside he is sleeping nicely in the infant seat. At the same time, we get to enjoy our lunch and shopping too, not too bad! At night, we went out for a quick dinner at nearby restaurant and head back home straight after dinner to have more rest.

On sun morning, everyone wake up really early to go town enjoy a dimsum breakfast! Again, we’re bringing baby Jenhong together =). After breakfast, we head back home, ah Girl and Philip is getting ready to drive back to KL, while we’re getting ready to pack our stuff and go Jitra for a short stay at my aunty’s place. After lunch, we drive up to Jitra around 3pm, arriving before 5pm. Since it was my mom’s first trip to Jitra, and she has not meet my aunty for long time, they had a good chat that evening before we head for dinner again at 8+pm.

In Jitra, a lot of people is busy playing and taking care of baby Jenhong, while we actually get to take some deep breath! The next day, we stay at home to take care of baby Jenhong, while my aunty bringing my mom and ah Jia to walk around since they never been here. At around 4+pm, we finally pack up and drive back to PG again. By the time we reach PG, we head straight for dinner and reached home around 7+pm.

Baby Jenhong was really happy while my mom and sisters around, guess he likes to play with more people rather than just daddy and mommy. After they left, baby Jenhong starts to cry more frequent. A lot of time, it is really tough to get him to sleep and he keeps crying even though he is sleepy. I knew that he wants to sleep, just couldn’t. A lot more patient required these few days and luckily my hubby is taking the week off from work!

Baby Jenhong is growing fast!

It has been long since I last blog here, been too busy with baby Jenhong, and I hardly have the time to sleep, what more blogging!

Baby Jenhong wake up more frequent recently, and once he wake up, it is very tough to put him back to sleep unless he is really tired. Even so, he can’t get into sleep on bed by himself, he wants to be hold!! Gosh… this is what we trying to avoid all these while and now, if we don’t hold him, he will start to cry as soon as you put him on bed. We tried to let him cry for a while and hope that he will sleep after he tired, but he is not, so sometimes I just feel tired and hold him until he falls asleep… scared that this might become habit and it will be tough moving forward, still trying my best to avoid this.

Started from last weekend, he gets very alert to diaper change. As long as you touch him while he is sleeping, he become mad and start crying… (has potential be stay awake after that…) So, I tried not to change his napkin too frequent and try to be soft and gentle, but it doesn’t work =P. I will end up getting myself busy with him again until he gets back to sleep… phew!!!

The main worry I have recently is… when he don’t want to sleep. As long as he is awake, he will like to have attention, and I won’t be able to get my work done especially when hubby is working and I am home alone. Basically, either bath, breakfast, lunch, cooking, washing, cleaning… it has to be all set aside until he falls asleep. So, when he finally falls asleep, I will get things settle immediately in the fastest manner such that when he wake up once again asking for milk in between his sleep, I can attend to him.

Life is just routine of taking care of bb Jenhong + housework, yet I feel like I don’t have enough time to get my stuff done even though I only sleep for 4-5 hrs each day!!!

Wish he can grow up faster and life can get slightly better… Wish me luck, I am still trying to be a good mommy!

Last Thursday, after sending confinement lady Aunty Ah Wan back to her home, daddy and mommy bring baby Jenhong for 1 month follow-up at Dr. Huang’s clinic. We reached slightly late, around 9+am, yet this time round, we don’t have to wait long for the queue. Maybe next time we should go at later hours, not too early to avoid long waiting queue.

Baby Jenhong had his 2nd Hepatitis-B injection. Everything is looking good, he weight 4.5kgs now, not too bad for a breastfeeding baby, looks like mommy’s milk is quite nutritious, haha!

Today is my first day being a fulltime housewife, taking care of baby Jenhong myself alone at home. Hubby resume working today after taking 2 days off last week to help me get started with new life with our beloved baby Jenhong.

Jenhong did quite well last night by not staying awake at night hours, thus I managed to get around 4-5 hrs of sleep in total, wake up 2 times to take care of him. It wasn’t that bad, at least still manageable. This morning I wake up 7am+, getting ready some stuff and gave him a bath, then feed him once again after that. Since then, he is sleeping and there I go… getting my housework, cooking, etc etc done before he wakes up again. So guess what I did this morning? I mop the floor, prepare some food for lunch, have my breakfast, take my bath, fold his clothes and changing his diaper in the middle of his sleep. Everything was done within 2 hrs, and here I am writing blog again!!! HAHA… not too bad for my first day, I feel things are under control so far…

He is going to get up soon, hopefully after this he will stay awake for few hours maybe, and get a good sleep in the afternoon so that I can take a short nap too.

Finally, will like to sincerely thank my hubby for being very supportive, taking off from work to help me get started with our new journey. He did a lot of the cooking, housework thru the weekend too, and he’s the one that was Jenhong clothes at night too!

Thanks for being a great hubby!

Ever since my confinement lady left, daddy and mommy have not slept well through the night. Average, baby Jenhong will wake up 2-3 times, and if lucky enough, he will not even willing to sleep for 2-3 hrs. This is the time where both daddy and mommy experience the meaning of parenthood.

Taking care of newborn baby is really not easy. All in all, mommy will need to be independent and get used to new life because daddy still need to work during daytime. It has been 2+ days since my confinement lady left, mommy seems to be manageable, but it is indeed very tiring. Every sleep is generally less than 3 hrs, and when baby Jenhong cry, mommy will need to put down whatever work on hand and take a look at him immediately. It become very challenging when mommy in the middle of sleep, it took very huge effort to open mommy’s eye and attend baby Jenhong immediately.

Life has really changed after the arrival of baby Jenhong. Life has become more meaningful and cherish, but it become much more tiring and sacrificing for daddy and mommy. Regardless, whenever you see baby Jenhong smile, again… you basically forgot how tired you are!

Love you baby Jenhong… from daddy and mommy!

Jenhong is 1 month old now, and within a month, he has learn how to really cry to get attention. When he first home, he was so nice and he doesn’t really cry out loud and scream, yet by now, he can really cry + scream until you come to him and do what he wish to.

When I first listen to his cry + scream, it was so heart-tearing! I can’t hold myself back not to hold him in my hands and try to stop him from crying. But now… I’d got used to it =P

In general, he cry + scream for 2 main reason. Everytime after he wake up from his sleep, either if he wants milk or he found that his napkin is wet, he will basically cry like no tomorrow. When he do that, basically as first time parents, you feel heart-tearing and you will attend him in no time.



Well, all babies are like that, every though they can really cry terribly and make you up-side down, but whenever they smile to you, you just forget anything they did to you! HAHA

Hello everyone, I am one month old today!!!
