Do the Cow, Moo moo!
Keegan is currently on total breastfeeding since he is back from his photo-therapy last Wednesday.
He only latch on twice a day during day time and I have been expressing out every 3 hourly,even at night. I am still considering if I should also let him latch on during night time. This time round, I am successful in breastfeeding.
On the 3rd day morning after giving birth, I had engorgement as the milk supply is "coming in". The nurses at Thomson Medical Centre were very kind enough to massage for me. Had requested for cold cabbage that night and also kept expressing and luckily, the breast had soften the next morning.
I almost wanted to give up that night as I was afraid of having the same experience that I had during Meredith's time, that was mastitis. That morning, I woke up and found my breasts were as hard as cheese, had high fever and could not even moved my arms.
Currently, I am expressing about 90 - 110 ml each time every 3 hourly. During the first week, I only have about 20 - 40 ml. Keegan is now drinking 90 ml.
Keep it going .... my target is 200 ml each time.

Mummy, you are so "smelly"
One of the things that cannot be done during confinement: - no shower and hair wash, can only wipe the body with the herbal water and powder shampoo hair.
I have not had my shower since 7 April, a total of 14 days. My hair stinks like hell... have been sweating so much. Can see little "flies" flying around me.
Meredith said "mummy, you are so smelly" & Eugene called me "sour cow", the only one with no complain is Keegan. Why cow? cos I have been expressing breast milk for Keegan every 3 hourly.
Cannot tahan liao, have requested for shower and hair wash tomorrow using herbal water and finally, my confinement nanny agreed to it. Looking forward to tomorrow.

听妈妈的话 MV by Jay Chou
This song was introduced to me by Kim for Keegan. Never like Jay Chou's songs, but finds this one interesting and meaningful. Dith is learning to sing the chorus part, which is now my incoming ringtone. Hope she really "ting mama de hua".

Happy 11th Anniversary to Eugene & Myself!
6 March 1997 - 6 March 2008, 11 years!!!
Darling, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
It has been 11 years since we had our registered marriage. Eugene & I got to know each other on 30 September 1992 (16 years ago) at Lee Keng Community Centre karaoke. Both of us worked part-time there where his sis-in-law was the manager there then.
My first impression of Eugene was not a good one as he teased me with another waiter who wanted to "court" me. As time passed, we got to know each other better and I even wanted to introduce him one of my best friend, Judith. Not knowing that he already felt in love with me!
I did not immediately accept the relationship as I was not ready at that time. However, Eugene was very persistent, he "chased" me for about 1 year. I was really touched by him and that was how we started as a couple in Year 1994.
When Eugene started working, his ex-company required him to travel overseas very frequently and also long working hours, even when he was in Singapore. Maybe that was the cause of his male chauvinist and quick temper, as mentioned in his blog.
Why did we had our ROM so young, aged 23 & 22 years old? Thanks to his ex-company! He was almost being transferred to station in China and my dad insisted that we get married first, so that I could followed him. He must not be there "alone", my dad warned me. Luckily, he left the company for a better one, which he is still with them.
We had our Chinese customary wedding on 29 January 2002. Our first darling girl, Meredith was born on 30 October 2004 and upcoming one, darling boy, Keegan will be on 6 April 2008.
