Awake at such ungodly hour...

It's 3.55am now. Damn it. I shld be asleep and not here blogging away.

Patted Andre to sleep at abt 9.10pm, make milk for Amadeus and I went to bathe. Ask him to sit on the sofa to watch TV first (waiting for me to sleep wif him). Finally, after watching Animal Mechanics, then he willingly off the TV and went to his room. Talked and played wif him for a while before both of us fell asleep.

Woken up by Andre's cries. Saw the clock - 10.30pm. I only slept for afew minutes. Went in to pat him and not sure whether did he fell asleep, cos I did...but keep waking up cos tat lil fella refused to sleep and I'm so god damn fed-up tat I just ignored him and carried on wif my beauty sleep. Just then, heard Amadeus crying in the living room.

It's 2.10am. My gawd. Amadeus was sitting on the floor and crying for daddy. Tink he missed daddy too much. Earlier, we just web-cam wif him and Amadeus was so excited. He even asked daddy to 'come in'. Tink he meant come out from the screen....lol. Anyway, since Andre not asleep yet, I carried Amadeus to the room wif us and asked him to lie down on the bed while I pat Andre. He refused to sleep and I realised tat he needed to drink milk (Andre will cried for milk at abt 2am these few days) and Amadeus also cried for some.

It's only when I went into the kitchen tat I realised I needed to sterlise the bottles, boil water and wash Amadeus' bedsheet (for his school use).

Quickly made milk for them and put the dirty laundry into the machine. But tat lil fella still refused to sleep after drinking his milk and I patted him for so long b4 he closed his eyes. By this time, Amadeus was already fast asleep. So put Andre down and he started to turn left and right and make noise. So bloody fed-up wif him and at this time, I also had a very very bad headache to cope. Carried him and whacked him a few times on his thigh and I literally thrown him back to the bed (I was sitting on the bed so very low height, no worries). I carried Amadeus and out of the room. Andre was still crying and I simply ignored him and carried Amadeus to his room. I was in his room for abt 5 mins and I heard the crying stopped. Luckily, mom didn't wake up to interfere.

Then I just went to the kitchen to sterlise bottles and boil water. After tat, I took a peek at Andre and he was fast asleep at the exact position of how I thrown him onto the bed.

It's 4.20am now and I'm still typing away here accounting what had transpired just now. Wide awake now and still wif a headache and waiting for my 2nd load of clothes to finish washing b4 drying the 2 loads of clothes in the dryer. If I just dryed the 1st load of clothes, hubs will say I waste electricity.

ok, ending my entry now. Going to surf the net till my laundry is done. By the way, the above might be boring to most of u but I'm posting it to update my hubs so tat he knows what I had gone thru...haha...

Last visit to the Cardiac Centre

Brought Andre for his heart scan at KKH, Cardiac Centre and am glad and relieve tat the hole has finally closed.

But before the doc broke the news to me, I was given a scare by them.

One of the doc was looking at the screen and pointing something to another doc. Then the female doc said "heart defect". Then the male doc kept scanning here and there and both kept silent and just looked very intently at the screen. Finally, I couldn't hold back and asked whether his heart is alright. Then the male doc said 'nothing wrong, everything prefectly normal and the hole had closed'. I heaved a sign of relief and the doc chopped a discharged stamp on his health booklet :)

1 last shot taken outside the centre before leaving...

Andre turns 11 mths today!

1 more mth to go and Andre will be 1! How time flies...

He is really an active baby, keeps moving and touching and putting things into his mouth. Even when I am patting him to sleep, wif his eyes closed, his hand and leg will still be moving ard, esp his hand will come looking for my hair and then pull and let go and pull and let go. He will only stop moving when he is finally deep in sleep. 

His milestones so far:

- can crawl on all fours

- can do high-5

- can clap but only when he feels like doing it

- will say mum mum when he is hungry

- can bottle-feed himself

- will follow me everywhere (he will crawl after me when he saw tat I'm walking away - at home)

- can walk a few steps wif support

- can drink from cup

He has 7 teeth now...no wonder he drools so badly...the tooth jus pop out one after another but glad tat he is not overly cranky when he was teething.

Now, he will fight wif Amadeus for toys and will bully him at times too. He loves to pull Amadeus' hair and wat did Amadeus do? He just screamed loudly and shouting "my hair, my hair. Mummy, help me!" It was very hilarious to see the scene.

He is also one greedy boy. Whenever we were eating, he would looked at us and licked his mouth, waiting for us to feed him. But 1 bad habit of his is tat, if he gets tired of eating tat food, he will jus spit it out.

Lastly, pray tat he will forver be this happy and healthy and tat he and his gor gor will be the best buddies when they grow up :)
