I am your mummy!

Being twins full time mummy:

1. Sleep less, rest less, work almost 18 hours a day

2. Feel bad when both twins cried for milk initially, I keep on telling the other one, "Hold on Please, Gor Gor first or Mui Mui first ya!"

3. Feel bad when I need to cook and yet both cry for my attention and want me to carry, later I immune to your cry and let it be, T2 very fast learnt that no one will bothers her and she just stop crying. T1 very persistent crying for hug for longest time, I keep on telling myself, no worries, no body will die, despite T1 has hole inside his heart, I let him cry, then my first Filipino maid told me that morning crying strengthen his lung. After few sessions, T1 also learn and each time his cries is maximum 30 minutes.  I let him sleep alone at the cot instead of carry him sleep next to me, coz his sister will follow and both will play then and not sleep in the afternoon. He watches me sleeping on bed and cried loud loud, until sleep.

4. Sometimes mummy very tired and busy, mummy miss out to bathe you both, once or twice in a month during first 9 months. When I realise, was already 8pm plus at night, so decided just wipe your body.

5. Sometimes mummy very angry with your daddy, very upset with your grandmother, but mummy always tell myself, I am your mummy and I shall give you a home that full of love, full of harmony, full of laughter and and not full of quarrel and crying right? So everything I do I do it for you both.

6. Sometimes mummy feel like wanna back to work, but mummy understand mummy cannot have everything in this world, when mummy stays at home looks after your, mummy feels better and more secure.

7. Everything is give and take, I never regret my decision and I surrounded myself w full time happy mummies near and far.

8. Keep on remind myself to set learning and growing goals for you both.

9. What motivates me is everyday I remind myself to stay happy by doing things that I enjoy, could be making new friends, try a new recipe, watch a nice show, play and laugh with my twins.

Temper Tantrum

Both twins started to have temper tantrum 

Yesterday T1 open fridge and throw out one egg

Next he pull the rice container and causing all rice fall on floor

T2 climbs up up on grill and refuse to come down

Most funny part is she remove her cloths, naked and play with her body, haha

Every day both fights, both bites each other

Both likes to climb up the table, climb up high chair on their own using chair, climb up to my computer table and throw everything they can reach

Today T1 throw out our expensive camera, daddy needs to buy new one again

T1 also throw my phone before, causing my phone glass broken, luckily daddy have protection sheet, only need to change outer part.

T2 fell down many times recently, especially during evening when she is sleepy and try to climb up an down. Daddy said this weekend bring her check-up...daddy very worry and concern.

 

Flu at 22 months

Source of virus/bacteria:

1. Outside, as we went out almost every weekend and let you both eat a little bit of  outside food, you both just wanted follow what we eat :-)

3. Fever cannot eat rice : Wrong!

4. Flu cannot shower: Wrong!

5. T2 lots of wind on stomach, no milk, if really want to give milk, give thin milk, not thicken milk

Dr Goon

Very experience doctor, but she speaks quite arrogant, no nonsense or small talk 

Parking is an issue around the place, lots of double parking

The car next to us was blocked and the block car owner did not pick up phone call, neither the fellow has any car plate number

Despite need to wait long but worth the wait, also can wait at nearby coffee shop, lots of coffee shops near by

Very convenience place, got Chinese Herb Shop, Caring Pharmacy, AA Pharmacy near by

Getting them to take medicine is another battle, hubby said long time did not force them medicine...

I was very tired, when they are unwell

1 could not sleep esp T1 wakes me up and wants me to carry him around, coz he is not feeling well

T2 does not eat much, no appetite, vomit out what she ate, does not want to drink water either...worry worry, already very light weight!

Anyway, I shall stay positive, at least this round is home treatment and not treatment at hospital.
