YiJing on Camelia Flower HeadBand

Cute mah?

Ba Zhen Tonic Soup

After 12th day of giving birth, every night my CL will slow-boil me tonic soup to nourish and improve my vital energy or qi. Every night with different type of soups. But one of my favourite is THIS!!    

Ba Zhen Tonic Soup

It tastes bitter sweet, i like that combination. Since i love to eat boiled egg, instead of 1 , i requested 3. 1 for hubby, 1.5 for me and half for YiWen. YiWen loves the egg yolk dipped with soy sauce. Pandai makan hor? So young can taste so yummy food.. Every night, i'm looking forward for my CL's tonic soup.. that's my supper!! 

Giant Baby

YiWen on YiJing's sleeping basket.

See this giant "baby"? She is getting cheekier lately. Whenever she saw i carry mei-mei... she will ask me to "pau-pau" aka carry her. How to carry 16+kg toddler during confinement ar? Usually i will sit down and ask her to sit on my lap and hug her.. consider carry lo..
If i breastfeed mei-mei.. sometimes she will ask me for nen-nen.. **slap forehead**
If she want me to follow her to somewhere, but i'm carrying mei-mei.. she will push mei-mei away.. is this sibling jealousy??... consider not gua, coz she don't simply do that unless she wants to reach something with my help..


Hmm.. didn't notice my daughter has grown up so much until she squeezed up into this basket.. muahahahaha!

Dropped 9.6kg

Guess what?! I lost 9.6kg in 2+ weeks after gave birth to YiJing. That's an incredible number! This time i lost weight faster compare to first pregnancy. No, I didn't put myself on diet. NEVER during confinement. Coz I know I got a CL who is darn fine cook. No one can ever resist her yummy delicious cooking. The possible reason is day and night my body is burning all the fats for milk production. This FOC slimming course is just so effective! MarieFranceBodyLine also can't defeat my natural slimming technique.. hehehe.. 
But i still got 9kg more to burn before i get back my pre-natal weight. That's 56kg! My ideal weight! Wonder when can i achieve it.. hmm... 

YiJing is bathing.. Her hands and legs are half-way into Michelin's .. hehehe :) 

Baby YiWen & Baby YiJing

Baby YiWen

Baby YiJing

Do they look similar? I think both their eyes look like mommy.. nose like daddy.. YiWen's mouth looks like daddy whereas YiJing's like mommy.. YiJing got more hairs then YiWen , obviously.... :P Both also very chubby , but somehow YiJing extra chubby.. kakakaka.. Argh, both are my PRECIOUS!!  :)

Home-Made Char Siew by CL

Never thought that I can eat home-made Char-Siew during my confinement. Ya.. this is done by  my CL. She told me she took 1+ hour to prepare and grill the pork. Seriously, i really salute her for being so hardworking in cooking delicious meals for me and family. Maybe she no need to take care bb during night time.. so she got more stamina to cook variety of food for me.. hehehe.. :)

She is gaining.. ^_^

Very contenting to know YiJing is gaining fast. Nurse came to weight her today and she is now at 4kg. Though I can't get her to be fully on breastmilk since day 1, but to me it is an achievement to have her fully on breastmilk since day 6th. Really hope it will last till she is 1 yr old at least.. hehehe.. :)

My Ameda!

Sigh! My Ameda Breastpump has gone kong again this time.. U must be thinking that i must have pump so intensively till the Ameda can't tahan me right? No la.. though i pump frequently but i didn't even turn the suction to max. Instead it is always less than half max level. This time the serviceman told me it is the wear-and-tear problem of the belt. Small issue nia.. will cost me RM10 for belt replacement and RM6 for postage fee. So, relief to know that it is fixable and no need to buy a new pump. I LOVE this pump so much!! 

Breastfeeding Progress So Far..

Gladly to say that i feel a lot more comfortable and confident to breastfeed YiJing compare with the time with YiWen. At least till now, i do not have any blocked dust or extreme engorgement since i'm been pumping every 2hours (daytime) and direct breastfeed (night-time). Through experience, i know how to avoid those problems which i faced last time. This time i hired the same Confinement Lady. She is a very nice person, darn good cook, very very hardworking, clean and tidy person. But she is never a good breastfeeding adviser. She will give lots of bad comment on the breastfeeding and no confident that breastmilk will grow up the baby. If last time i almost believe in her words.. but NEVER this time! Everytime she said anything bad about it, i will ask her to look at my YiWen. A 2 year old toddler but wearing apparels size of 3yrs old. So, jangan main main ya!! Never let surroundings to demotivate you! This is very important!!
