IMPROVING & FOUND NEW SOURCE
Ah boy finally nvr wake up for 1-2hrs for ytd n the nite b4. But he still wake up several time for milk/water feedings, ard 2-3 time a nite. I posted for help at idobaby forum.. and lots of kind mummies offer their advices... 1 of them recommends this book: The Baby Whisperer Solves All Your Problems (By Tracy Hogg). I follow her advice, went to Borders n source, costs ard S$30, so decided to go National Library borrow, lucky found the book.. The words in the books is so lengthy (*Yawn*) and book is so thick n measured 9.5" x 8" x 1" thk. Wat a bulky & heavy book! Nevertheless, i still bring it to n fro work, so i can read on my tpt, whic is the only spare time i can read.
I juz read a few pgs tis morning.. n i skip straight to the slpg parts. Quite blur at some terms... look like i nid read from the front.. hai.. i running out of time... HoW??? cAn SuMoNe b KIND eNuFf 2 ReAd & SuMmAriSe 4 Me? If not there will be more slpless nites to come..
Also looking forward to tis wkend, coz will be 'depositing' ah boy at MIL's plc over sat nite to slp in, as sunday morning HB n I gng for the sheares bridge run. V required sufficient slp & also wake up very early. Very excited... long long time nvr go jog in the morning.. miss my jogging sessions b4 i was married & preggie... n miss my Bishan Parks... Wen is the new park near my hse gng to open?? Build so long liao... i also waiting for the days wen ah boy can walk n play wif himself, den i will throw him at the playground to play while i jog ard the park... Or best is he join me for the jog too... He shd have my gene for running, guess so... Coz i went jogging for approx 4km wen i was 1mth preggie wif him.. Power sia! Of coz i stop my jogging n aerobics immed on knowing i preggie. Hope he b a sportsman like me wen he grows up...
HB coming back to sgp island from his leadership camp tmr... Wan leave ah boy's care to him.. while i rest and relax and most imptly, enjoy myself nxt wk.

ANGRY + SLEEPY + TIRED + IRRITATING
Help!!! I cant slp well at nite. Bb keep waking up again.. and it gtg worse... Instead of him waking up several time a nite, he remain awake for 1.5 hr to 2 hr. First, it happen on sun nite. Sun i brought him to my parents' hse. He slp for close to 2hr b4 i awake him up and brought him out of the hse at 12nn. Den after reaching my parents' hse, i left ah boy ter as i went to mit hb to collect the sheares bridge run goodies bag. Wen i came back, he already asleep.. so i aso took a nap as it was a rainy day.. very cosy.. And he end up slpg close to 3hrs... while i slpt for 1.5hr. So i tog i will suffer again tt nite as he will wake up several time... instead, he woke up at 1.45am (slpt at 9pm), so fed him milk, den he doze off... He woke up again at 3am.. and he flipped over onto his tummy and tok to himself... Only then i realised he is awake... fr then on, i cant slp comfortably coz he is still awake.. Occassionally he cried wen he cant flip back, or he wan water... so end up i keep waking up to attend to him... it lasted for 1.5hr b4 he finally go into his dreamland... Den at 7am, my alarm ring n he wake up again! ARHHHH.. i wan bathe n prepare for work.. lucky he not too sticky at the moment.. toking to himself again...
Ytd nite.. oh.. it terrible again.. same scenario as above, slpt at 11pm, woke up at 2am, fed him water. Woke up at 4am, fed him wif milk, n remain awake n noisy till 6am... 2hrs leh! Additional 1/2 hr as compared to prev nite... Is he gtg used to it? A habit for waking up in the middle of the nite? Or MIL let him slp so much again in the daytime.
I tod MIL to record down his slpg timetable for me today.. but i doubt she do it. She tod me tt mrng slp longer, afternn nap is shorter... WAT? I wan exact timing.. not a rough estimate... so i can compare his day slp time wif the nite slp time... I guessing as at now is tt if he slp longer dan 4hr, he will wake up more at nite. Sat he slp ard 3hr in the day, then at nite only wake up once...
I'm gtg very tired... Scolded ah boy several times wen he refused to slp... Screamed at him wen he cried... Sometimes even feel like feed him wif slpg pills or alcohol or knock him unconscious... So he slp thru the nite...
HB at camp fr ytd till tis fri. Before he went in, his last msg is to ask me take gd care of ah boy and be PATIENT to him... I'm so sorry.. i losing my patient now as i'm very ...
TIRED TIRED TIRED TIRED TIRED ....

Face Rashes
Ah Boy is having a lot of red rashes all over his face. Not sure if it is heatiness or becoz of his saliva. He been putting his fav. drumstick (his hand) into his mouth, then rub his wet hand all over his face. The rashes is increasing, starting from the head to now beside the mouth.
MIL say she wan apply the diaper cream on his face! Alamak... wen can a cream tt specially used for the buttock, be use on the face?? She tod me she use the cream to apply ah boy's back before, aso got some red rashes, but till now, still got rashes. Tink it becoz she apply tis diaper cream, tt y it nvr get to heal at all. Would u use a face cleanser to cleanse ur buttock? So how would u b willing to apply a diaper cream on ur face? Btw, a diaper cream is a BARRIER to prevent the urine or the shit to have direct contact wif the skin. So tis cream is a barrier, applying onto the rashes will prevent it to heal back.. n don even noe if the diaper cream is clean enough to apply on the face.
Tomorrow gng to bring ah boy for his hep B injection, will c if got chance to c the doctor, then will ask doc to prescibe a suitable cream.

ANGRY & BAD MOOD
I'm very angry & pissed off today. WHY? All thanks to my MIL. I really don understand how she take care of ah boy, can let him slp whole day, and nite time become so awake. Wkends wen i look after ah boy myself, he can slp so soundly at nite, maybe wake up once for a milk feeding, sum times can even slp from 9pm thru to the next morning at 6 or 7am. BUT for wkday, under MIL's care, he can wake up a few times a nite, minimum 2 times to maxi 4-5 times!
Take last nite for eg, he slp only at 11+pm, den 2.45am wake up for a milk feeding, den 5am wake up again. I fed him wif water, coz it impossible for him to b hungry as he juz drank 2hrs ago. He slept at 5.15am. Den 5.45am, he woke up again... Alamak.. again crying for water... he awake till 6am when his useless dad woke up. His dad ignored his cry n go prepare for his work!* ?!?!~!* And ah boy make so much noise i put him beside me on the big bed, he end up kicking n flipping onto me, kept disturbing me n don let me slp!!! Den at 6.45, he doze off again, and my stupid alarm rings at 7am! Wat the F**k!! N while i bathing, ah boy wake up again... crying n making so much noise tt i have to rush thru my bath... Cant stand him nowadays, wen v r out of his sight, he cries so loudly... as if v are ditching him 4ever!
Den wen i send ah boy to MIL, i specifically highlight he kept waking up a few times last nite, and i don noe y she don understand my simple chinese:
Me: 你可以不要放伟伦在摇蓝上睡觉?
(Too late to convert to chinese character, below conversation in chinese)
MIL: I already wake him up if he slp too long.
Me: (To emphasize my previous qns, i rephase my statement) Try put him slp on the bed, then he will take a shorter nap instead.
MIL: Cannot, he will sweat a lot when he wake up.
#!@?#!~*
Harlow! My hse got no sarong, he still slp on his bb cot or my big bed, but i nvr seen him wake up in sweat b4? The sarong at MIL hse is juz beside her big bed, how come he slp sarong no sweat, and wen slp bed will sweat all over? Ridiculous reply...
Tis situations have been gng on for quite a while... n i feel it so unfair to me. Me n hb work daytime n he hardly wake up to feed bb. We BOTH pay MIL market rate (nanny salary) to take care of ah boy. Yet she let him slp so much in day time, n cause him nite time unable to slp, which in turn cause me slpless nite. I'm still nid to work in the daytime! Everytime end up so slpy in the afternn. I now threatening hb to do some action, if not i either send ah boy to a infant care (= MIL allowance) or i QUIT and be a Stay-At-Home-Mum!!! & let Hb take care of all expenses, while i guarantee ah boy wont disturb his slp by waking up so many times a nite!
