Sophie's dreamfeed...

I am not sure if I should be celebrating so soon BUT the little bean has been sleeping 7 hours straight the past 4 nites!! woohoo...I get really excited when I wake up at 730am and she's still sound asleep, giving me time to express milk before she wakes :)

Anyway, here's what we do : she goes to bed at 7-9pm..after her milk, I wipe her down, put her in her PJs and read her some books. Then about midnite - 1am (depending on what time I sleep), she's woken up for her "dreamfeed". I usually give her about 140-150 ml for her dreamfeed..and she gamely finishes the whole bottle even though she's 80% asleep. Then it's a quick burp session (if she burps that is :p) and plunk back into bed and she's konked out till 730am :) Hurray!

Here's a video of Sophie feeding herself ;)

Sophie's babymare ...

One night last week, Sophie was fast asleep when I suddenly heard her semi-crying. I thought it was a bit weird as she had just gone to bed about an hour ago and should at least sleep for 4-5 hours before waking. I checked on her and saw that she was actually still sleeping but crying in her sleep..a babymare?





I told Jin, I think she was dreaming that someone was stealing her milk from her :)..anyway, after a good 5 minutes, she went back into her deep sleep..I guess she got back her milk ..heehee :D

Edwin gets hitched!

My colleague edwin got married last week. It has been ages since I attended a wedding in Singapore (I think the last time was like 5 years ago!) and things just have not changed , ie, the start time of the event :P. The wedding was held at Fullerton and only started at 830pm..good thing we had some small bites at the lobby first :)

The group from HP

Myra and me (check out my cleavage, woohoo ;)

5km run completed :)

Hard to believe I actually got out of my sleep deprived state to run 5km on a sunday morning - but I did! I signed up for the Great Eastern 5km run several months back..I was hoping that by signing up for the run, that would force me to train for the run and of course get back into shape after not exercising since the time I was expecting. Boy, who was I kidding? Working full days and spending the rest of my free time with the little bean leaves me only time to read my month old magazines and occasionally update this blog :P

Anyway, back to the run..Jin was a real sweetie - he actually got up early to get ready so that both bean and him could send me to the start line. The run started about 8.40am..I ran non stop the first 3kms afterwhich, it was run a bit , walk a bit the last 2 kms. Finished the whole 5 km in 35 minutes :)..quite proud of myself but my aching limbs are now protesting..I need a full body massage! :D

Here's baby bean and me - she's in her new stroller and I really think she likes it a lot :)

Our bean is 16 weeks old...

Sophie laughs..

or at least I think she did (again). Can hear Jin in the background laughing at her laughing ;)

15 weeks old and finally a laugh :D

After feeding Sophie, I usually sit her on my lap and start patting her back to get her to burp. Often, she will reward me with a loud satisfied burp..very very BOY but oh, I do love that sound coming out from her. I think even she gets a bit shy sometimes at how loud her burp was and she will smile and turn her face down like very very shy ;)

Anyway, today was no different - I sat her on my lap, started patting and I went : Sophie, burp burp . It goes on and on and she was starring at me intently..the longer she starred, the more animated my face became with each "Burp Burp?" and suddenly she laughed..and then she squealled. I was pretty excited to catch her 1st laugh :))) and continued the animation and was rewarded with more laughs ..ahh, the things we do to see our precious darlings smile and laugh...

Mom's in town for a short visit -so tomorrow I will work from home again. Must remember to have the camera on hand just in case Sophie decides to laugh again..will capture to show Jin what he is missing out on (by coming home after midnight every night! hmmph!)
