Milkshake to brighten the day!

When I am feeling run-down or just need a bit of an energy boost (especially now that Spring is here!), I usually make my homemade easy shake. Just mix whatever flavor ice cream you have + milk. No need for blender, just wait until the ice cream melt a little bit then use a spoon to mix. Voilah! Saves you money from buying and you can have as many as you'd like 

With Connoisseur ice cream

Mothers Group... Finally!

Thursday was Baby E's 3 - 4 months community health clinic visit.. I am pleased to hear that she is all fine and healthy, but did feel a bit disappointed to see a different nurse. I really liked the previous one. Not that the new one is bad, she's just a bit too strong and all over the place. The old one was very calm. Then the nurse said The Mothers group was today! I tried to go last time but the trip was unsuccessful, besides they weren't there and Baby E still hated being in the car (so glad she is over it!). My neighbor who came with me immediately encouraged me to stay. It was almost lunch time, me being starving actually just wanted to go and eat! But I stayed.

There were ten of us altogether, plus the nurse. I enjoyed seeing other babies and other mums cope with their newborns. There was only one that was 3.5 months old like Baby E though, the rest were around 4-8 weeks old. It was certainly an eye opener for me, discovering I wasn't the only one who do a few stuff that aren't supposed to be right. Also one thing I have noticed they all seemed to adore their babies so much. It was just pleasant to see the joy on their faces. Love this group!! I'm happy I went! Can't wait for next week then...

"Lots of tummy time to relieve wind!" The nurse said.

Pinkribbon Fundraiser Fashion Parade!

I had an awesome time last night. It's been awhile since I did Fashion Parade (also models! Haha) and everyone was so lovely. Turned out the event was within a church and they do this annually. It's such a good break from doing weddings (might do this more often!). They just let you do whatever you want as long as you go properly with the theme, which was the 1950s. Love Vintage!! And it was for a good cause as well . Unfortunately I could not stay until the event started, because I had a baby to feed LOL. But it was just beautiful what they did.

I managed to steal some lollies from here LOL.
 
Oh there's me! :P

Isn't that red TV so cute?
 
Those radios are actually rocking old songs...

Love that bicycle, nice touch..

Putting family first...

is not easy as I would have thought, definitely need a lot of patience and sacrifice.

Even though it's fun to see my girl discovering new things everyday, but sometimes it's just a little frustrating to reject job offers. Urrgghhh... but oh well, I chose this.

Anyway baby E rolled over twice today! Usually that's something you get excited about, except she rolled... to the floor!!!

My heart seriously fluttered. I only took my eyes off for two seconds to place some stuff and she rolled from the bed. I was just next to her but wasn't quick enough to catch. Tch! I stormed to pick her up and she immediately stopped crying. Called my ex-nurse neighbor to have her checked. Then baby E smiled like usual... Everything is fine, thank God...

"Don't worry, there will be more falls to come." said my neighbor. Somebody save my heart!

Slept for a longggg time...

It's all because I woke up at 3AM yesterday to do a wedding job which finished at 1pm (one hour early actually!), by the end my breasts were so engorged they were painful. I quickly drove home and found baby E still smiling! Was so glad she had been good because it was the longest I have left her with her dad. Shocking though, because just one day before when I had that last minute Trial which was changed to 5PM so my husband could take care of her, she was crying the WHOLE TIME (which was almost two hours!). I felt so bad for my client and it was emotionally grueling for me to hear. Usually she is good, but just not that night!

Anyway, busy weekend... Have another wedding this afternoon and pre-wedding tomorrow morning.

Finally had a chance to go to King's Park though! Baby E fell asleep halfway and we found these cute white flowers or plant called Banjong!

So the stomach flu turned into real flu...

I was actually feeling good after passing last long weekend, had fun too! With hubby at home I had lots of break because he plays a lot with baby E. I even felt great doing wedding Trial on Sunday. Then my nose kept on running, I thought it was hay fever. But I NEVER have hay fever... Tuesday night. BAM - Eyes was also running. That's it. I got the Flu. Quickly took Paramax and went to bed.

The thing is I felt quite bad that hubby had to take leave to take care me and baby E on Monday. Thanks to that I had time to go to Hairmart to buy some hair supplies and definitely feeling a lot better!
