Daddy has allergy to some medication (X). Since the first day I know him, he has told me repeatedly never give him medicine containing X. Yes, I remember it very well. Don’t understand why he has allergies to that though, I never have any allergies to any medicine or any food (except during preggy with Faythe, I was allergic to ajinomoto).

On Monday, Daddy reported that he’s not feeling well. He called me in the evening, I told him I’m on the way back. Whenever he’s sick or feeling a bit sick, he’s always like a BIG baby. He gets very manja *roll eyes*. When I reached home, he wasn’t at home, so I called him. Apparently, his friend took him to the clinic. OKlor, so we waited for them to come home. Meanwhile the maid prepared dinner.

He came home, had some dinner and took the medicine. So he was sitting on the sofa resting and chit chat with his friend. Then he started rubbing his eyes. After 5 mins, we start to notice that her eyes are getting swollen. He still rubs his eyes even I told him not too. Somethings not right. I repeatedly asked him if Dr. prescribed him with X, he said no cause he told Dr. bout that.

He ran upstairs for a while. After 5mins, he came down, short of breath and eyes even more swollen!!! Immediately he called my SIL. SIL is a paed, so whenever we need some free consultation she’s usually the first we buzz. Apparently, the medicine which the Dr. gave him, shouldn’t be tried as not very sure what is the content inside. Whoaa!!!

So off we went to the clinic again, cause I was getting worried. What if he collapse at home, I won’t have the energy to drag him into the car. He’s twice my weight!! When we arrived, the nurse saw his swollen eyes, right away he was shoved into the room, jumping queue.

And now we found out that he’s not only allergic to X, but also allergic to Y. haiya…this Daddy really alot of *sa poh ngang chang*…So Dr. prescribed him some medicine to subside the Y.

Tuesday morning when we woke up, his eyes was still a bit swollen…poor fella.

So now there are 2 items that he needs to watch out in the medicine.

Notice the photo…looks like *chu tau ping* kekekeke….

Pacifier - something that Faythe can’t live without. I’ve started her on pacifier as early as 2 months+ because she just wouldn’t sleep quietly. With the pacifier, it’s really a blessing, but I told myself, only when she needs to sleep. But soon, the pacifier has become her comfort object. We never leave home without one. Even my car has her pacifier. We have at least 3 at home and at least 3 at MIL’s place. IT’S A WORLD OF PACIFIER.

3 days before I start work, on a very late night, Faythe was still jumping around on the bed, refuse to sleep though I can sense that she’s realll sleepy. Hence I decide to take her pacifier away. I told her “No oi oi, no pacifier”. She didn’t bother. She continued to jump around. After a while, she must have gotten real tired, she put her head on the pillow and was pretty quiet. I didn’t do anything, I thought she’s pretending to sleep. Usually she will come to me and beg for the pacifier to put her to sleep. After a while, I call her…Faythe …no answer…Faythe…no answer again…oops…she fell asleep without PACIFIER!! Wow!!

The next morning, I show her the pacifier, it was bitten on both sides. Me being the cheeky Mommy, went to take a pair of scissors and cut off the tip. I showed her, “See your pacifier, you bite and now there’s a big hole”. She gave me a grin, put the pacifier into her mouth and spit it out with disgusted face.

On the same night, again I didn’t offer her the pacifier. I told her “Pacifier spoilt. Daddy fix it OK”. She wouldn’t dare to ask from Daddy. She tossed a bit, and then slept quietly..WOW, another night hehehe…

Next day, we bring her to MIL’s place in the afternoon, I showed MIL the cut pacifier and told MIL. So we all *pakat* and told her pacifier Daddy is fixing. When I picked her up from MIL’s in the evening, she told me Faythe didn’t have pacifier during her naps, but she still toss n turn occasionally.

And on the 3rd night, Mommy repeated the same words…Daddy fix it…And since then, it’s history….she no longer needs to look for it when it’s nap time.

We test the water early this week. Showed her some of her old pacifier. She just played with it, put into her mouth, then pull it off. But when sleeping time she didn’t ask for it. Now it’s probably a toy for her.

Bravo Faythe…Mommy’s clever girl.

We gave Vyktore a hair cut after fullmoon cause it was becoming like porcupine. Now after 2 months, the hair hasn’t grown much longer, but it smells funny.

It smells like sweat+never take bath…yes..not sure why it smells like this, but it’s certainly unpleasant.

MIL + SIL been trying to get rid of the smell on his head since he’s under my MIL’s care last week. They put baby oil, give a good massage, wash, wash, wash…still the same.

So this is what we decided to do in the end….hey, I smell his head today, at least it smells good now :).

MIL says it could be the smell of the placenta…cause both my children has a lot of hair, maybe absorbed the smell from placenta…hmmm….maybe lah

I was reading Zara’s blog today bout what happen to Zara’s Mommy over the weekend. And just then triple bad luck striked on me in a day!!!

Incident 1

I was downstairs storing the EBM I’ve expressed at 3am, eyes all so sleepy. After putting away the EBM into freezer, I open the fridge door and attempt to take out the defrosted EBM to place into milk bottles. I usually do this so that maid do not handle the milk and she can just bring the bottles to MIL house for Vyktore’s feeding.

Opps…I saw something dripping. I lifted the ice cream bag, holy cow!!! The bag had holes at the bottom, not only one but all 4 of it!!! Arghh…I slowly move them out one by one with minimal spillage and pour all of them into the bottle. I think I wasted bout 2oz there!!

Incident 2

I finished expressing milk in office for the day, kept all the stuff in the bag. One of the milk bottle which is pretty full (> 9oz), I placed it in the thermal bag, and oopss..I accidentally dropped it on the floor. Usually I don’t open up to check, but out of curiosity I opened it. To my surprise, the milk spilled!!! Arghh…1.5oz gone :(. So I cleaned it up.

Then this stupid me, close the bottle tightly and try to tilt it a bit to see if it’s OK. And again!!! some milk spilled!!! All in 3oz gone

Incident 3

After dinner today, I went home. Opened the freezer door, start to take out  the EBM for defrosting. I decide to take out those in containers as it occupies more space and I’m out of space liao!! Suddenly one fell on the floor. Took it up… @#(#)@$(_#*$…the bottom broke and there are pieces of plastic….aiyooo…I was contemplating if I should defrost that, but don’t want to take the risk of the broken plastic, so I dispose another 2oz of milk to the dustbin.

This is really sui day for EBMs. I told Daddy bout all the 3 incidents. Two things he said:

1. NVM lah…you got plenty in the freezer - that was after incident 1 & 2
2. You better not touch any of my things today..very sui lah u - that was after incident 3
