Siblings

I dreaded confinement month.

I dreaded having to wake up every three hours (if I'm lucky) to breastfeed and to pump milk.

I dreaded maternity clothes!

But with Madeline growing up to be such a princess at home, I know that this girl, needs someone else. That she could love and protect. Other than us.

She's been very good in school (a few teachers have said that), and very good girl who did not fight for toys in Sunbeam (Sunday School- based on the teacher's report). But at home she is a terror.

And in the past couple days, she has not been able to sleep well,  even though she is not sick. She has grown, very attached to us.

She needs a sibling. She needs to be the big sister.

And I find myself, starting to look at maternity clothes on sale in GAP, and started to once again, browse on confinement food. Suddenly, it does not look so bad.

And if you start thinking, no, I am not pregnant. But I know, I don't mind to be pregnant again :)

You, your husband, and your son?

A student told me today:

“Ms. Tristano, I saw you at Lot 1 last Friday, looking at Hello Kitty. You were with your husband, and your son!”

19 Months Old

Madeline finally completed all of her jabs! Two were taken on the doctor visit last Friday, her chicken pox vaccine, and the last dose of the 5in1- or as known as the 18 mo jab.

To date, I am still confused with what is what.

She is now 10kg, 84cm. So if its true that by the time the toddler turns two, her adult height will be her current height times 2, then its about right. I am around 170 cm, Maddy should be about there too.

We hope there is no side effect.

I wanted to post her video in the doctor, crying for rescue, but I think, it might be traumatic for her hehe….. So no video :) But I have to say, well done Maddy for taking in two jabs without much struggle!

An “Overseas” Trip

If you want to get out from Singapore, yet, can’t afford the time to travel. Why not consider, Sentosa Island?
We had a blast last Saturday with Andreas, Carol, and their almost two years old, Abigail. Andreas is my secondary school church friend.
We visited the underwater world, Maddy was terrified at fish early on, luckily she warmed up quickly and started to generate interest for the fishes.
We also spent sometimes at the beach, and the so called the most southern point of continental Asia. (I’ve my own thoughts on that but won’t share it here :))
The weather was super  friendly to us, thank God for hearing our prayers. And just when it is about to rain, we went to Vivo City and spent hours there until dinner time.
It was a great time of fun and fellowship. Cheers to many more good years of friendship.

I don’t mind this

Since I won't get to watch Lea this December for my birthday, I won't mind getting this baby.Yes, I know and I still love my Canon DSLR. But sometimes it gets too big to bring, and I missed out some opportunities while Maddy show her cuteness outside the house.
