Kayden Day 441 - starting to walk a few steps on his own

This little boy is growing up so fast. From a baby in my arms to a little boy learning to walk.

He no longer likes to be carried like a baby in my arms. He wants to crawl on his own. Go to the place where all his toys are. He is learning to walk by himself a few steps when he feels like it. And falling flat on the carpet after the few first steps.

Glad that it is carpetted here. But he likes to chew the carpet which is really gross. Nothing much i can do because i cant be staring at him 24/7 cuz i need to do the chores. I can only ask him to spit out if i sense that he is chewing something which is not supposed to be.

He eats rice almost every meals. Lunch and dinner. And he is growing 2 more upper teeth which makes it a total of 6 upper teeth and 4 bottom teeth.

His schedule:
Mommy will only wake up at 8.30am so he has to wait for mommy to wake up before he goes out to play his toys. I can say for now he is still a good boy because he wont crawl out to play by himself if i havent get off my bed.

Then he will have his cereal for breakfast at 10am. Then i will quickily whip up lunch and dinner so that i can eat with him for lunch at the same time.

11.30am is his lunch time. As usual, accorn, califlower/ brocoli, carrot, minced meat with no seasoning.

Nap time begins at 1pm. Whether he slps or not i will just pretend to slp until he really falls aslp.

Wakes up at 3pm or 3.30pm depending on what time he falls aslp.

Make a 150ml milk for him. Sometimes he only drinks 100ml or even 60ml and sometimes he can finish all the milk. Well, it depends on his mood again.

Snack time at 4.30pm. Cakes that i bake or biscuits.

Dinner time at 5.30pm.

His Shower at 6.30pm or 7pm depending on how long he take to finish his dinner.

Tv time till 8pm.

240ml to 260ml of milk tome at 8.30pm.

Then i will pretend to sleep again until he decides to fall aslp after ruining thru all his available toys in the room.

After the sleeps i will wash the milk bottle and boil his hot water for midnight feeding.

And finally it will be my ME time at ard 10pm. I wil then use my phone for fb or amazon. And finally slp at 12midnight.

Ard 3am he will make noise for milk. 180ml sometimes can complete sometimes cannot complete.

Then back to slp.

The next day continues the same routine...

The end of my robot life here...

Kayden Day 430 - las vegas

Papa brought me and son to las vegas from 6 to 10 august. Stayed at Venetian. This super great hotel suite is so big and.comfy. mommy and son is so happy!!

This little boy went to las vegas at such young age!! Went to the jackpots and smell the pple smoking at the machines. No choice, have to walk pass them in order to reach our destination.

Mommy celebrated her bday at the same time. Birthday was at premium outlet and a nice dinner at the ramen shop followed by a fine dining dessert shop serving great sweety dessert. 

Blown a cake the night before and kissed by boy and my man. 

Thank you for all the plannings. Everything went so great except about the extension at LaQuinta Hotel due to the delta power outage which cancelled and delayed our flight. But we are lucky enough to have hotel voucher and meal voucher and safetly reached boise although we had to run for the next flight during the transit at salt lake city airport. But i would rather run my life than to missed the flight seriously because i dunno when will we get back home if we missed it and diapers/milk powder and getting really not enough if we stayed for a day more. 

Kayden Day 422 - MINI Cooper Car

Bought a MINI Cooper for k boy.

He is so happy with it...

Kayden Day 408 - Started on rice

Tried feeding toddler k with rice, carrot, brocoli, pumkin, tofu.

He is eating well. Everyday poo 2 times. Once after breakfast. The other time after lunch. Can finish one big bowl of porriage initially and was afraid if i overfeed him cuz he never seem to say no to porriage and will ginish without fail. This time i started with a little rice cuz i think rice will be more filling and dont wan his stomach to explode.

We are going Las Vegas on my birthday this year so wanted him to start on rice and slowly to the food we eat. So that he can fill his stomach like how we do when we are travelling.

Everyday routine is waking up at 9.30am or sometimes he will wake up earlier but i will only get up at 9.30am. Then will videocall grandma till 10am, if not will head straight for cereal and bread. Then youtube and play time till 12noon. Quickly fix up his lunch and feed him till 12.30pm or 1pm. Then back to bedroom to make him slp.

Sometimes he can sleep for 1hr 30mins sometimes 2hr 30mins. Then wake up for milk or bread. Then playtime and youtube time again. Then nap awhile again if he can. If not he will play thru out the whole afternoon.

Then dinner at 6.15pm. Shower at 8pm. Back to bed at 9pm or 9.30pm depending whether he had his 2nd noon nap or not.

That ends my robotic summer schedule.

Ohh and i cut his hair for the first time. Omg. I cant believe i did that successfully.

Kayden Day 384 - fever day 5 at USA (Vaccination Age 1)

Not sure if it is due to the vaccination at the age of 1, he suddenly developed fever after 1 week of vaccination. Today is day 5 of his fever already and papa is going to officially start work at USA already.

I hope i can cope with him alone. I am so worried. He refuse to eat the fever medication but his fever is so high. The highest we measured is 40.3 degrees.

Am so freaking worried. Didnt sleep the whole of last night cuz i am worried of his fever and he was also very cranky the whole night. Force feed him medication 3hrly twice during the night. Keep sponging him but he always push the towel away.

Can i wish the fever is on me instead?

Sighz.

My tod k, please get well soon.

Kayden Day 366 - Cry like mad hair cut day

We are gg USA tonite so... hair cut day for kayden boy...

Mommy Day 354

Who doesnt want to be a weekend parent whom only need to take care of bb only on weekends?

Everyday after a day of tiring work, have to spend time with bb and wash his bottles, toys and every little things is my daily routine be it weekday or weekend.

As a mommy, i dont grumble because he is my son whom i gone through painful process to have him delivered safely and even the after labour pain that torture me and that i wont forget.

I do not have someone to talk to before i go to bed. All i have is a keyboard and a screen = mobile phone.

Everyday i feel like a single mum. I rush here and there like a mad dog but nobody knows. Sometimes, i feel that i am only a human and all i want is to rest and have a good sleep. It is tough not to see the little one when u hear his cries every midnight. There is no midnight that i can sleep thru peacefully.

I know you are filial. But since i see my parents taking such good care of my boy, i wanted them to rest as much too. I wanted to treat them some nice food and just us but there isnt any day that i could accomplish that because the little one cant sit thru every meal. I wanted to be filial as well.

You have all the freedom to live like a single almost everyday. U can do things u wan, have peaceful sleep, plan ur own things, have a good meal with your mother. But what about me?

Our family is all tied down by the little one. Many things i wish to do but i cant do.

The least i could ask for is to spend time with them since its the last weekend in singapore. I dunno what will happen there. I may meet with a accident and never come back, there are many maybe's. That will be my greatest regret.

Worried about taking care of the little one alone there, who can comfort me? Little one,  please be good because i am surviving until today because of u.

Didnt want to express my thoughts but looks like nobody really understand what i am going thru.

I love you, my little one.

Kayden Day 328 - KKH High Fever 39.5 degrees

After eating the med by the PD, his fever is still not subsiding. In fact it is fluctuating. I am so worried. I wish i am the one who is having this high fever.

I have done all protection by washing his walker and all his toys everyday but still he is having infection in his throat.

Left work slightly earlier at 5pm and called kayden papa that his fever is very high and not subsiding at all. Kayden papa rushed bk to amk and i quickly took a cab back as well. I know i need to bring him to KKH no matter what bcuz i am so worried. I dunno whats wrong with him. The sudden fever. Must be somthing that activated it. In my heart i am thinking could be the 八字clash with the full month baby boy whom we attended on Sunday.

We shouldnt have brought him to the celebration at all. He anonymously had high fever that very night!

Reached KKH at 6pm. Nurse gave him a urine bag to collect his urine for lab test. He didnt want to pee for like the entire 3 to 4hours of wait. He didnt wan to drink his milk nor barley as well.

No choice. Doc say go back to collect sample and bring back within 2hrs of urine for lab test.

Doc only sees redness in his throat. The rest was all normal. He said after 5 days of fever then need to go back to take blood test. Is a prick on the little finger.

I pray and pray he will be fine by tml. Tml will be the 3rd day of fever already.

So he prescribed paracetmol and off we went.

Baby kayden boy is so tired that he fall aslp ij the car almost immediately.

When reached home, we changed him and standby the bottle to collect his urine direct flow. Yes, he peed after we remove the bag to collect his urine. I think he must be contollling his pee for the longest time.

Then with the fresh pee, we quickly went bk to KKH for the test while baby kayden sleep at home.

A long wait as usual about an hour to wait for the doc and result.

Doc sees the report and say it is normal. No infection. I was so relieved. I felt my heart not so heavy.

So we went home.

Now i have settled everything and finally on my bed.

I pray again for my baby kayden to recover asap get well soon and be your cheerful cheeky baby.

We love u and heartache for me to see u fever like this. :(

Kayden Day 327 - Very high fever 39.5

Sunday midnight My Kayden boy suddenly having high fever. Before he slp i already felt his neck warm but i thought its because he overplayed thats why he is hot.

Never i think that he is running a fever already. My poor boy. He cant sleep. Keep making sound and figeting and crying. At 2am kayden papa when to carry him and said he is very warm. Immediately i jumped out of my bed. Oh no. How.

Started to put koolpad and measure his temp. He is really warm on his little hands and legs and whole body. So we decided to give him the leftover paracetmol from the polyclinic which was given after his vaccination.

He woke up almost every hour or less. So we decides to put him and sleep with us on our bed. He managed to sleep alittle longer like 2hrs. Then started to jerk and cry again. My poor boy.

Am feeling helpless cuz i dont wanna go kkh cuz the doc there are useless but the thing is it is a public holiday so most of the PD is closed. Kayden papa found one clinic. We rushed there 15mins before it closed. Thank god. We decided to bring him to the doc bcuz he is getting warmer and i think our thermometer is not accurate at all. I never felt his hands and feet and forehead and neck so warm before.

I am worried that he will burnt his brain. I'll be a sinner.

He took the paracetmol twice and the fever did not went down so we brought him to the PD.

Reached the clinic and measures 39.5 degress. My god. Is really hot. And imagine he hot for so long already. Btw we reached the clinic at 11.40am. It closes at 12pm on public holidays.

Doc says high fever without any symptoms of vomitting or diarrhea or cough or flu is more worrying. Because it could be dengue fever or urintary infection. Otherwise could be he put dirty things into his mouth. Doc says his throat is red and swelling.

He was given med and told to monitor. If fever still persists for 2 days, have to go back and take blood test and urine test.

I pray my baobei kayden boy faster recover else he will be in pain for i dunno how long more.

He called me mama today because he needed me to carry him. I feel like crying.

I wish the one who got fever is me and not him.

Please be well my baobei kayden boy.

Papa and mama is so worried about you.

His fever subsided after taking the antibiotic and fever med during late afternoon and evening.

But at night he is warm again. So had his 2nd dose at 8.30pm again.

Now he is aslp. Please sleep well because i know you didnt have enough sleep last night at all.
