Today is the last day of the month of Feb 2013 and finally gotten the time to pen down my resolutions for the year (maybe I will review it in June) .
It has been a crazy start and more things are piling up and I feel as though I'm trapping water- just to keep myself abreast everyday. (But im still not cutting out my timewasters-eg: facebooking, forum reading, blog reading- KPOing on other people's life).
I hope to take this opportunity to re-look on my priorities for 2013; reason being I don't want the days to pass me by and come 2014,i realise i'm starting all over again.

Baby Sophie at 9 months
In another 2 days, my Sophie will be 9 months! Unbelievable at the rate she is growing- so fast now she has 3 visible pearlies appearing- 2 on top; one below and one molar at the back( not visible). Soon she can chomp down lots of food already.
My favorite picture at the moment! I hope she will remain this happy as long as possible

Whirlwind month!
Unbelievable but we survived 1 month and 1 week without our domestic helper. Although the house is not as clean as she was around, I'm not able to fully spend all my attention to my Sophie baby but I guess we are doing quite fine. The next crunch period will come in when I start work again. I shudder to that thought.
The plus points of not having the domestic helper is yeah! No need to tolerate her attitude and yeah!i have Sophie all to myself and the bonus is xin is so much more proactive and he is so much on hands on with Sophie! He has become more appreciative of me :) yeah!
Today our cleaning company just relax came in for the first time. Not as squeaky clean but at least I get to have my lunch at 1pm and my parents get to play with sophie instead of doing housework when they are here.
My Sophie has strayed from the routine because of the plenty disruption in the week. So we got to be more disciplined and mummy and Sophie will be grounded for the week!
Our dearest baby!
Hopefully Sophie gets on track soon before I go back to work.

I'm glad u came
Back to sch today and it marks the end of my stay at home mum experience.
Missing Sophie girl girl now! Been a bittersweet 17 months inclusive of the time she was conceived and in my tummy heh!
Cant believe we managed to get through that together and now a bigger huddle! Coping with baby, household and work.
For the past 8 months; at home with Sophie
Great things!
1. Watching her literally grow bigger and taller!
2. Getting cheeky! Sticking out her tongue
3. From spinning around her cot to flipping and now crawling and climbing!
4. Feeding milk to solids! Hands flipping everywhere- high chair manners
5. Looking out for us when she is in an unfamiliar place
Not so great stuff( if I can re- do)
1. Natural delivery instead of c-section
2. Breastfeeding for a longer period
3. Bringing her out more often ( she enjoys outing)
For now, xin and myself will enjoy our parenthood before she grows too fast too quicky!
Love our little tan family!

Just the three of us
Our domestic helper has left yesterday so now the bulk of the household chores will fall on me and xin unless our Sophie can do the work heh.
She used to work for my mum for 2 years before she went back to get married. She was a capable worker but alas with a different boss, she displayed different attitude. Oh well, she just got to go when her demands were too frequent.
I guess I would also have to keep myself in check because there are times when the manner I speak turns out offensive too. I want to be a good role model for Sophie.
Just wondering how to tackle all the housework and everything else?

Busy mother's day weekend
It has been a hectic weekend for us this week- two mother's day lunch and on top of that; the two of us have fallen sick. So we got to keep our distance from our little one. Now I now how dreadful it feels to be kept away 😥
Can't wait to get well soon!
So this is my 1st mother's day but been a tad disappointing because
1) I'm sick; xin is sick so no celebration and he has been procrastinating on writing the mother's day card
2) no pressie as well! Shall continue bugging him
So how has motherhood changed me in a mere 4 months?
I'm going to list down ten things heh!
1) I have become patient
For my little Sophie, I'm impatient and still impatient but towards her and her only, I am able to wait on her- for as long as she needs to take.
2) the speed I take my food
Now I can finish a meal in 15 mins flat so that I can spend the rest of the time on her
3) motherhood forum is my most read forum instead of flowerpod
I used to log onto flowerpod every single day but now heh it has been replaced by flowerpod
4) no longer fussy on food
5) don't squirm when I see urine or faeces (only applicable to my little Sophie)
6) when thunder comes around, I will
Instantly run to her, but she is one brave girl
7) I can change, bath a baby all by myself
8) my breasts actually produces milk heh and I smell of milk all day long
9) her interest comes before mine
10) love her unconditionally
Baby, can't wait for the day u can celebrate mother's day with me
Can't wait to get well soon!
