Yippee... I Can Stand…
I had been doing lotz of exercise these few days.. Daddy and Granny taught me how to stand.. look at how strong my legs are… I loved to exercise… =D
New Bed.. Electronic Cradle Sarong
Decided to get Kaden a new bed… on top of his playpen… his day time rocker bed… and our big bed… It’s the electronic cradle sarong…
Kaden is abit shaken up during his hair cut incident and loved to be cuddle to sleep by Mummy.. Think it’s the cuddling and the heart beat sound… Kaden seems to be able to sleep better.. so after much discussion, we decided to get the sarong bed…
Hope our Kaden can sleep better from now on =D

My New Position
Mummy learned this from Auntie Fatimah.. Mummy must put me to lie on my side regularly so that I would not always feel back sprained.. I quite like it… Got my “爱心” bolster made by grandma… and my fav pacifier… Ha ha ha

Actual vs Planned
I am a Virgo + a Rooster... To me, planning is the upmost impt part of an action or decision... Pple ard me had been telling me that with kids, you can plan all the way you wan, but the end result will never be that of what you plan.. Never really believe in that until now that I have Kaden....
What did I plan for??? And what actually happen?? Sigh, so much differences...
Plan : During pregnancy, I planned for a natural birth... Thought I will surely carry Kaden to full term and go through labour pain, with dear beside me, encouraging me to PUSH... ha ha ha.. that din happen... Actual : My water bag started leaking (or is it a hole kicked opened by my dear Kaden??) 5 weeks before Kaden turn full term.. Had no choice but to go through C-section.. Plan 1 failed...
Plan : Before Kaden is born, dear and I believed that a boy had to be tough.. so off he shall have his own room.. his baby cot will be in his room.. he shall sleep there alone.. we, as parents will do the monitoring through baby monitor from our room.. Actual : Sigh... seeing how tiny he is and how frightened he can be in the middle of the nitz after the hair cutting incident, how to let him sleep alone.. in the end, he slept me...Can't bear to have him out of my sight.. His slight cry will alert me in the middle of the nitz...
Plan : Wanna Kaden to be flexible and adaptable, so no other form of bed for Kaden.. only a baby cot.. but then Kaden jus could not sleep tight.. Actual : I wanna Kaden to sleep well.. so i resorted to rocking chair and eventually an electric sarong cradle.. Surprising, that works... Although i know that letting Kaden sleep in a sarong might lead to him having prob sleeping in another place.. but who cares.. my top prioprity at the moment is only to give Kaden the best... Dear and I also grew up sleeping in sarong and we are what we are today too... Dear and I discussed...Even if we are travelling, we'll make sure we bring along whatever suit Kaden.. hence all those that we bought are travel friendly.. just that someone have to carry.. Poor dear.. you'll my morale support
Plan : Din want to give Kaden pacifier... Heard from pple that it's difficult to get rid of and one will get bug bunny teeth... Actual : With Kaden crying non-stop sometimes, having a pacifier is not a bad idea at all... Anyway, Kaden is not totally addicted to it too.. after he sleep, he will automatically spit the pacifier out... Dear and I also grew up sucking pacifiers... If we can stop sucking it, why can't Kaden.. =D
Plan : Dear and I were garang.. we thought.. when Kaden turns 1 mth old, we shall bring Kaden to parents' place for ancestor praying... When wkend comes, we will pop by PS to let Kaden have swimming lession.... During Mab's bday dinner, we will bring Kaden along for the joyous occassion.. Actual : All that planning fell apart when Kaden started to be cranky and kept crying whenever we go out.. In the end, we heed the advice of the old folks to let Kaden stay indoor until he is 4 mths old...
Plan : Initially, I wanna bring up Kaden in the luxery of our cosy home @ buangkok.. Thought I could handle him at nitz.. During wkdays, i'll bring Kaden to my inlaws place for 2 days, to my mum place for 2 days... 1 day @ home.. just me and Kaden.. and during wkend, we will bring Kaden out to the park.. to shopping.. Actual : That 1st day he was out, Kaden came home crying non-stop.. I gotta scared.. and started to realise that I could not really handle him alone.. In the end, we moved back to my inlaws place... Speaking from the bottom of my heart, it really helped to have elderly at home.. at least, they brought up me and dear.. so they are much more experienced than us =D
In the end, all those planning din really happen.. but for Kaden, Mummy and Daddy are willing to make changes.. They are only just for YOU, my darling =D

Another Decision Made...
Previous decision... To stay at inlaws place for wkdays, then go back to our place on wkends..
Sigh.. gotta to undo that decision liao... We brought Kaden back to my mum place for the 2nd time last week.. Ended up with him crying again for the whole nitz.. Spoken to the old folks and they say Kaden might not be suited to go out... or rather to go to my mum place yet..
My granny told us that some kids dun like to go back to the mum's parents place.. these kids are said to have "皇帝命"... did anyone happen to know a 皇帝 who will visit his 娘家 one? well.. sound a bit of weird.. but the old folks had seen real cases when they are younger.. so 宁可信其有... anyway, my granny says this wun last forever.. Most kids while reaching 4 mths old, will be better =D
New decision... For Kaden's sake...we decided to stay put at inlaws place until Kaden's 4 mths old.. The old folks says should not bring Kaden's out before he turn 4 mths old... well, dear and I shall go back to our place, on our own.. and to go out on our own too =D Though really wan to bring Kaden out but guess we just had to wait.. Everything done is for the best of Kaden =D
Counting down to Kaden's being 4 mths old, then can bring him out...

Kaden's New Bed cum Chair

Kaden : Thanks, Godma Jazz...

Baby Massage.. Shiok..
Auntie Fatimah gave me my traditional Malay massage after I delivered... As I signed up for a 10days package, I was entitled to a free baby massage for Kaden, a steam bath & a body scrub for myself...
On Day 7 of my massage, we decided to let Kaden try the baby massage.. Said to be able to calm him down more and make him sleep better...and to get rid of wind...
Turned out that our Kaden loved massage.. Just like Daddy...
In the end, I gave up my steam bath and body scrub in exchange for 2 more sessions of baby massage for Kaden... Took some videos.. Shall put it up if I can load it in =D
Auntie Fatimah also taught me the massage.. Hopefully I can do some of the steps... Maybe not all, but just thetummy rubbing to rid Kaden's of colic i.e. wind =D

Kaden's Baby Shower Party
Held Kaden baby shower at , Crystal Cafe @ Orchard Grand Court on 12th July 09... Muz say it's a successful event =D.. chosen the place due to recommendation from motherhood forum..
For my frenzs who I sent the invites through email, I actually did up an invitation card.. Kaden looks so adorable... That's my boy...
.jpg)
Most of the adults enjoyed the meal... Think it's "uncle" enough for them... Especially my hubby.. ha ha ha..Taiwan porridge buffet.. It's a very different kind of buffet, I muz say...
Throughout the event, our Kaden was fast asleep... He only woke up towards the end, when almost everyone left... Actually, that's not a bad thingys also... At least, no one will disturb my boy.. I also dun wan pple to carry him and pass him from one pax to another...

Kaden's Collection
My Kaden has a various collection of pacifiers...Avent, pigeon, tollyjoy and piyopiyo... A total of 5... You think it's alotz?? Kaden's frenz, Reuben has about 15 of them... Ha ha ha ha..
I used to think that should avoid giving babies pacifiers.. Pple say babies who suck on pacifiers will have bug bunny teeth... well .. i dun wan to see Kaden crying too much.. so I gave in..
Anyway, dun think the bug bunny teeth is true...i grew up, feeding on pacifiers.. so is dear..
Also, think my Kaden dun really like pacifiers that much.. he dun sleep with them... sometimes when we gave it to him, he will spit it out real far away...
No wonder pple say when u have kids, you can't really do any planning... I planned for Kaden to not have pacifiers,, but I failed.. wa ha ha ha...

2nd Visit to PD
Took Kaden to visit the PD last Monday...Was time for his 2nd Hep B injection... PD noted that he still got a little jaundice.. so took a little of his blood too to run some test... baby is not supposed to have jaundice after 2 wks old.. So PD worried might have kidney prob.. **cross fingers** So painful to see the PD poking needle into my Kaden
But at least got good news... Hurray... Hurray...
On 26th Jun.. Kaden weighed 3.2kg.... On Monday, 6th Jul, he weighed a healthy 3.8kg.. so happy.. initially, we thought that his weight will go down.. cos his milk intake dropped from 3oz evert 3 hrs to 2oz every 2 hrs.. but my Kaden gained weight.. so happy..
Another happy news.. 2 days later, the blood test came back.. all is okie.. Kaden's jaundice level is due to breastmilk... yippee..
Hope my Kaden will continue to grow =D

Decision Made... All for Kaden...
For Kaden... Dear and I made a decision...
We decided to move back to my in-laws place to stay... Decided that it was better to have elderly at home with me and baby...
On 2nd July after we brought Kaden out, Kaden returned home, crying non-stop at nitz.. Dear and I were at a loss... I fed Kaden milk, change his dirty diaper, hug him close to me... But nothing could help to settle him.. Seeing him cry, with small drops of tears at his eye side, I also broke down and cried... Immediately, dear called for help.. Rang up my mum, who rushed down to our place with "Jing Feng San"... Thank God, we lived so near by...
Mum fed Kaden the "Jing Feng San"... and helped us to carry Kaden.. Soon, Kaden stopped crying and fell asleep.. Ended up that I continue crying cos I felt so helpless and upset that I could not understand why Kaden is crying.. Mum stayed with us for the nitz...
That same nitz, Dear made the decision to bring both me and Kaden to stay with his parents for the time being.. Eventually, we both decided that we were too inexperienced to take of the baby.. So it's learning time...
Our plan... To stay at in-laws place during wkday and to go back to our own place during wkend.. =D
Well... For Kaden, all changes are worthwhile =D

2nd July... Our Kaden is 1 mth old =D
2nd July is an impt date... it marks the end of my confinement... and it marks the full month of my prince Kaden...
Many things were planned for this special day...
In the morning, Kaden had his 1st hair cut... Supposed to be good for him.. "get rid of his hair from my tummy, to get new hair for hmself"... Dear took some pics of him while the gal in action was shaving his hair.. He was crying away.. It pained me to look at the pics, so decided not to post them online...
With his hair and umbilical cord, we decided to make a baby hair brush and an umbilical cord stamp for Kaden.. Will upload the pics when we got back the products...
Here's Kaden when he is bald... =D Look adorable huh =D
Next stop, we proceeded to dear's parents' place... Went there to pray to the Lim ancestors.. Daddy & Mummy were happy to receive all of us.. It's Kaden's 1st trip to Ah Gong & Ah Ma place =D Look at the grins on the grandparents' face.. So 幸福...
Last stop of the day, we went to my parents place to pray to the Ng ancestors... Dear looked so funny.. He is now the official cheap labour for Kaden.. Opps.. Should I say free labour instead.. In the past when we go out, dear loved to be empty handed.. Look at him now.. one bag where I stored my breast pump equipment, one bag where I stored a big bottle of my red dates tea (last day of drinking it) & two bags for Kaden's items... Poor dear...
At my parents' place, both father and son fell asleep due to tireness... Don't they look alike... Same sleeping position..

Kaden on 30th June
Took a picture of Kaden yesterday after his feed...
His milk intake increased from 25ml when he was 1st discharged 4 weeks ago to 90ml now.. Though still not a lot, but can see visibly that he put on some weight.. a week ago during his visit to his PD, he weighs a healthy 3.2kg... look at his apple-liked cheeks..
Auntie and I tried pinching him slowly.. and as usual, he cried.. opps.. Naughty Mummy and Auntie... Will try to pinch less next time.. Hope he put on more weight... Daddy & Mummy love to see him fair and chubby... Jus like the chinese proverb.. "白白胖胖"....

White Flag Raised.....
After close to 1 month of persistant determination not to give Kaden pacifier, we finally lost the battle... We raised the white flag not becos Kaden is crying for pacifier... But becos mother in-law said so.. Sigh.. No choice.. Give in lar..
Here's Kaden with his pacifier... Looks adorable though...
Dear went to Kiddy Palace to get another 3 pacifiers... so that he wun be too used to only one...
But guess what... Kaden started to reject eating pacifier... wa ha ha ha... after a few attempt, he started to spit out the pacifier... Guess he starts to realise that no milk is coming out from the pacifier.. wa ha ha ha...
Kaden is like daddy huh... muz eat.. otherwise, hungry baby = angry baby...
Hope he keeps on rejecting pacifier... =D
