I met up with my Em and Shih Chung yesterday for lunch.. Em wanted to pass me some corporate diaries and the $300 Tangs vouchers that my colleagues got for me and Bria, and I wanted to pass them the Bengawan Solo cake vouchers.. We had lunch at Kim Gary, Em's treat. The 3 of us caught up on the latest office gossips over lunch, but it was all mindless banter. And i actually felt a bit awkward. Cause I haven't been back to office for 9 months now, plus i was never really close to any of my colleagues in the first place. Not close enough anyway.
After lunch, I went shopping for Bria's chinese new year clothes.. It's so hard to find nice clothes for 1 month old babies! Everything i saw was too big for Bria, except for the one piece rompers. So i bought another 3 more rompers from Mothercare, even though Bria already has plenty of rompers.. = ) I saw this pair of pink Piglet booties at Mothercare too, was really tempted to buy it, but it was $19.. so expensive!!
Once i had shopped enough, i headed to Thomson for my check up with Ah Lim.. as usual, waited for almost an hour at the clinic, even though i was told i didn't need to take a queue number, "just come will do". I got myself a free goodie bag with pampers and a copy of "My Baby" magazine. I also asked for some samples of Mamil milk powder for myself. = )
Ah Lim said my stitches have healed fine, but there was one loose thread sticking out so during the check up, he kinda use his hands to take out the loose thread. It hurt like hell for a while. He also said my uterus has shrunk back to pre-pregnancy size, but i still can't exercise or have sex for at least another month.. Bummer! As for badminton, i will need to wait another 2 more months.. sigh.. I also told Ah Lim about my stitch like pain in my lower left tummy, but he said that's the intestine area and he won't be able to advise. If the pain persists for the next months, i would need to see a intestine specialist. WTF..
Jasmine & Ruby came and visit me and Bria yesterday evening.. I had my 2nd cup of Sweet Talk since my confinement ended.. At least yesterday's was much sweeter compared to the one i had last week.
Jas bought Bria a cute little white romper printed with Bria's name from
My Little Stylos. Unfortunately, it was too big for Bria, otherwise i will definitely let Bria wear it for Chinese New Year!
K and I went grocery shopping after dinner yesterday. I bought a packet of milk powder for breastfeeding moms, among other stuff. As i was browsing through the different brands of milk powder and reading the details on the packaging, i saw this particular brand that says the milk powder is "Not suitable for infants". So stupid. If it's not suitable for infants, then i drink already breastfeed my baby also cannot right!
Yesterday, Bria was very kuai. She slept for 3 hours straight during the night. I had my first attempt at breastfeeding her at night after one whole month, and i only woke up once to breastfeed her. They said the more she sucks, the more milk i will have, cause demand will create supply. I am determined to increase my milk supply. I was all prepared to wake up every hour throughout the night and don't sleep! Hopefully tonight she will also be as kuai!
