D - week 7

7 weeks old, and D already has had 1 road trip under his belt. Just across the border that is. Over the long May Day weekend, we took the opportunity to go on our first family trip for the year. With 1 recovering jie K in tow, we spent 2 nights at Sofitel Palm Resort. Not the most flash place to be at, but our first choice Pulai Springs was fully booked, as we really made the decision to go quite last minute. Nevertheless, we had a great family time just bonding. The girls were so thrilled just to be at a hotel, and on a holiday. Of course, as on most holidays, swimming, eating, shopping and watching movies on tv were the main items on our itinerary.

Well, in the last 7 weeks, D has proven that he is a really baby, drinking and sleeping like all babies should. He has started to be a little more awake these last weeks, but he's still a quiet guy, staring at the things going by, occasionally crying out for attention when he has been left alone for too long. We feel so blessed for such a good baby. He's really piled on the pounds... at 6+ weeks, he weighed about 4.8kg; the heaviest of the 3... but of course he is a boy. Only thing is that amidst the whole flu bug thingy going around the house, baby D also caught the bug, and has had a runny nose for over a week. Poor boy gets his nose blocked at night, that it wakes him up, and sometimes causes him to unlatch when he is breastfeeding, gasping for air. Praying that he'll be well soon.

A new journey...

I've started on my journey to get back in shape. Pre- baby no 1 shape, that is. After 2 long weeks of recovering from the worst bout of flu ever, I finally managed to hit the gym, and the road, a swim and my static exercises daily since last monday! I can feel myself getting back into it, though my knees have been complaining from the extra weight it has to bear now. I've got 5 kg more to pre-D weight, but 14kg to pre-K1 weight!!! :( Need to keep up the daily thing, or I will start to slack and find excuses to wiggle myself out of the workout for the day.

My regular tennis sessions also need to be re-scheduled again. With my rackets that have been stored away in the store room for over a year, I think it's time to wipe off the dust. I suddenly miss playing tennis! Hopefully I'll experience that new passion for tennis again like I did when I left off 1 year ago...

Scrapblogging...

weee.... i've found something new to do, thanks to mama D! It's creating your own scrapblog! All done with no extra costs, exercising your creativity, at the same time getting tips and help when you run out of ideas! It's great! Only thing is I can't print it out yet... so I'm just going to post it here for the first time, till I figure out my blogger username(???) I can't seem to be able to share it straight onto my blog!

Here goes!
