My Two Months Old Megan

I was reminded that I have not been updating my blog for a long long time... sorry guys, was really busy with my new found freedom (after I outsource Megan to my inlaws!!) and there is no turning back! At least for a while...

Megan is 2! (2 months that is) and I can happily declare - its all worth it! Maybe it is because the attachment has finally "attached", or I am more familar and better with her habits and schedule, or she simply gets easier to look after... All is good. All is good. Now lets check on my latest iPhone photos...



Left : That is Megan at one month

Right : This is Megan at two months... fat and heavy! And of course, the daddy gets more and more exhausted! hahaha...

She has developed sturdy lotus limps and she can deliver a strong kick...So we dressed her up for boxing and let her stretch her arms and kick her legs! Just look at her fat tummy while she is at it!!

At two months, Megan loves to "talk"... I love the interaction as oppose to the monolog in the first month but very soon I run out of topics. Her grandpa ran out of topics even faster than me, exclaiming to Megan last week, " dont talk to me, I dunno what to tell you... talk to your grandma, she always has a lot to say! no no no, dont talk to me.."

Andrea fared better...She can have a conversation with Megan for an hour and it goes like this:

Megan : ah ger.. ah ger.. duhhh... arr.. acerrr

Andrea : Yes, ah I understand, then what happened?

Megan : Hmmm err..

Andrea : Ah! Is that true? Oh wow... what did you do?

Megan : darrr.. ah gerr ah gerr... ehhh.... errr ahh... (2 mins pass)... ah geerrrr geerrr... *yawn* cerrr ar ah ger ah gerr (5 mins pass) duhh ah gerr ah gerr

Andrea : Your story very long... are you thirsty?

Megan : Ah gerrr.. geerrr arr duh..

Andrea : Oh you are now telling me what happened last week ah? You finished the part on yesterday...

Yes and she spends the rest of her waking hours playing and laughing. Even when her daddy is busy with work at home, she can still be cheeky and playful. It is tiring in a different way.

Good thing she sleeps well both in sarong and in bed... Now she only wakes up once in the night instead of 3 times! hurray!

This is how you Burp! You can sit her on your lap or prop her over your shoulder...

Oh yah, not to mention, she cries feriously as well...

Megan baby talk

*All photos are taken around 4th week, just before her one month old celebration.

1.5 months and Me

Finally I am more in tune with Megan's schedule (I am being controlled by a kiddo!!!) plus my body is getting more accustomed to fatigue from waking up at night.

How did my aki friends manage their babies before I came along? Ah! They have an advantage. Being architects, they are already so exhausted that their brains simply did not register their bodies crashing (again). Bad profession, great training for motherhood.

Haha... sorry no more baby photos in this blog... PLEASE!!! She looks exactly the same!!! Except a bigger heavier head giving me a sprained wrist.

At 1.5 months, I can now manage to make more elaborate breakfast for everyone after Megan's 6am feed, do laundry, bath & massage Megan, excerise, watch DVD, cook myself a light lunch and decent dinner for everyone. Yes plus email/ blog/ do "personal stuff" all in one day. Multi tasking, multi tasking.... tiring but do-able. If my in-laws come in the afternoons, I get to catch up on some sleep as well...

Its 2011. Must plan what to do to add variety to my life... I cannot be bored.

First and foremost, need to get Xianger's apartment done. Friend of 25 years, when she needs help on design and renovation of her new place, can I say no? Plan, design, discuss, measure, draw, detail etc... gotta really manage my time... luckily no need to coordinate, just shove it down Jeffery's throat... Drew a few options to start discussion... Ha, life is interesting again...



My oven has never been used. Time to use it... I should bake something since I have always wanted to learn baking. How about this? Brownie Peanut Buttercups! Got all the ingredients ready... one day... one day...



Saw this on the internet. Ha! Is this knitting or patchwork? Sooo Cute! Megan needs a bag! Shall I do one for her? She needs a pencilcase too! Similar design with a zip? Time to activate my virgin sewing machine somewhere in the storeroom! Do I knew how to use a sewing machine? No... but wat the hell... cant be that hard...

hahahah... ok better finish up Xianger's house coz promised to send Jeff and her all the plans and elevations by next week... DAMN... too many things to do.... way too many things to do...
