Today's Kakak Mas' first day of school after the fortnight winter break. Its 8:46am and the house is so quiet. I don't hear a 12 year old waking up and kelentang kelentung fixing herself breakfast...as she did the same thing at 6:30am this morning! No ticking of the laptop in the living room, no tv....very quiet.
So its just Suraya and me (and the cats) again since everyone's busy fulfilling their responsibilities at work and school. I know, now that Suraya is sleeping, I should be in bed catching up on my sleep. But I can't sleep until the cats are fed, dishwasher started, the breasts get pumped and milk put in freezer (must keep up the supply mah!) and blog hop or update my blog, where applicable.
Today will be Suraya's 1 month check up too at 3:45pm. Told the husband that he does not need to take us there as I could drive the baby to the Dr myself, picking up Kakak Mas from school on the way.
I also need to bring my pre-pregnancy clothes back up from the garage. Have to tell myself never to stick to pregnancy clothes as I am not pregnant and need to force myself to 'loosely fit'...I repeat 'loosely fit' my body back into those tiny clothes. Ohhhhhh and I also need to beg the husband to lug the stepper machine back upstairs...but first I have to think of where I could put this thing.

The pediatrician visit was great. Suraya had gained 3 lbs since she was born. I told the Dr that she was very fussy yesterday. Yes, I had to take a 2 minute shower and put on my jeans and blouse with one hand, the other hand holding on to her while she was crying hysterically.
The Dr said that she is 4 weeks. Babies get fussy and are at their peak of fussiness at age 4-6 weeks. In short, Suraya is at the peak of her fussiness and in 2 weeks, her fussiness will go away. Errr, well, I was not convinced as I insisted that she had gas.
Dr said that all babies have gas. He checked her tummy...nope, not that much of gas and if the baby is fed and clean, means that she is fussy. He also told me that giving her an ounce of Camomile tea will help her body to be more relaxed. Oh and another thing, the Dr says that baby girls tend to be more dramatic when they go through this phase...gee, thanks for letting me now!
Alas, when we got back from the Dr's the Colic Calm that I ordered online was at the doorstep! Yay..could be the end of her fussiness tonight! Yeah right...took her 2 hours to calm down and 2 dosage of Colic Calm to knock her out...which means, she slept from 9:30am and did not ask fro milk till 3am. Being used to getting up every 3-4 hours, I was awoken by her peacefulness. I made sure that she was breathing...who knows! And when she finally woke up for milk, at least I knew that she was alright.
Suraya is such a good girl today. Maybe the remnants of Colic Calm is still in her body...maybe till about 6pm when she starts her fussiness again!
Here's Suraya, sleeping peacefully last night before I put her in her crib. Such an angel especially when she's sleeping. Click on image for larger version.
Quick note : Lost another 5 lbs since I last weighed myself 2 weeks ago. 15 more lbs to go. And no, I have not started my diet yet, just eating 'smart'.

can't help but sigh everytime I see her pictures ely! such a beautiful lil angel! call me wierd, but this fussing about with the baby sounds like fun to me - especially when my boys are all big and independent now. perhaps it's time to heat up the oven aye?? take care u! love ya!
ahhh, and smart you are... i ni yang dah laaaaaaama over the pregnancy phase 912 yeras to be exact!) is still struggling to shed off the pounds :)
dena, isnt she adorable? just look at her tiny fingers, i love her fingers! so tiny!
MR, u know, theory says that i cant lose more than 2 lbs per week cos there will be toxins that will go into the milk and to the baby. so i just have whole wheat bread, sugar free ice cream (i know, langgar pantang), tapikan, i do eat them chocolates! hehehehe...
ely ku cayang,
if you read my entry today, i gained 2 whole kilos! wait, how many pounds is that, huh? pukulan raya puasa campur holiday campur raya haji campur pemalas nak mampos nak exercise! now tengah cari buku SBD and get some motivational reads and videos to kick myself in the butt! jeles i dengar you lose weight! tengah tak de will power langsung buat masa sekarang. *haiz*
Ely,
I am sure you already did it, but doesn't hurt to ask - dah check ingredients colic calm tu ke belum? Being married to a scientist (pharmaceutical chem lagi)I am always being reminded to check ingredients and how much is in there...:-)
Heheh, kena risau beb, potential bakal menantu...
XXOO Farizah
triomommy, oh no i havent read ur blog yet! but u know, being in singapore, the mee siam, mee rebus, nasi lemak and nasi sambal goreng are just right there! tak payah masak dan fikir, terus turn bawah dan beli dan ngap...worthwhile! when i was in singapore, thankfully, i gained 2 lbs and pregnant. i anticipated to have gained 5 lbs or more! alah maybe i lose weight cos i breastfeed kot and get this, i gained 35lbs remember??? so dont jeles, i have a long way to go!
farizah, the ingredients of the colic calm are Chamomile, Fennel, Caraway, Peppermint, Ginger, Aloe, Lemon Balm, Blackthorn and Vegetable Charcoal.
Other ingredients: Purified water and glycerin. they're all natural products. i already spoke to the dr abt it ans he said as long as there's no alcohol and another ingredient, tak ingat aku...should be okay.
so far, suraya is reacting well to this mixture. but the ingredient 'vegetable charcoal' tuh kan, when she does her poo poo, the color comes right back out, if u know what i mean hehehe. huggs
