Friday, the Thirteenth...

When Aaron told me last night: "Tomorrow is Friday, the 13th", it didn't matter to me at all, not until...

I woke up around 6:30am (slightly later than usual; the usual is 5:30am).
Everything went as per norm until I got ready to give Alexis her daily 'Spa-Session'.

Incident 1:
While preparing her for 'spa', she poo-ed (she usually poo in the morning, so I normally waited for her morning-poo before preparing her 'spa'-session).

As usual, I asked if she has finished her poo - she would normally smile at me (of course that is not an indication that she is done). Thinking that she is done with her poo-ing, I started cleaning her and just at the time when I removed the soiled diaper, she pee. I quickly placed the soiled diaper below her bottom and managed to hold most of her pee. During this time, she was having her other 'fun'.

When I looked up at her, she was smiling and I realised she threw out the milk she drank about half an hour ago. I realised Alexis regard this as 'fun' because she would always smile when I go 'Aiyo, Alexis!' and this time - same.

1st - she smiled when she gave me the sudden 'pee'.
2nd - she smiled when I go 'Aiyo, Alexis'.

After her enjoyable spa-session, I started clearing up the room and Aaron's words on 'Tomorrow is Friday the 13th', suddenly ring a bell ~ again, I thought nothing of it.

Not until...

Incident 2:
After her afternoon feed, I sat her up to 'burp' her. After about 3-5mins, I thought 'ok, no burp'. I was about to change her position when she suddenly
released out a whole lot of milk - and I went 'Ooh..,Alexis!' and she looked at me, again thrilled by my exclaimation, gave me that 'cutie-smile'. Knowing that she still has some more milk in her mouth, I think she is waiting for me to exclaim again before releasing them all, I told her 'Stop, Alexis. No more playing' - and she did stop!

I cleaned her up and changed her into a new set of clothings.

It was during this time that I started to think 'Friday, the 13th' - is this the end?

Perhaps not. 13th... so at least 3 times???

Incident 3:
I was putting her to sleep for her afternoon nap. She was almost asleep when she suddenly start to 'wriggle' here and there. Then, I realised that she poo again (Breastfeeding babies poo many times more than formula-milk fed babies because breast-milk are easily digested). I waited for about 5minutes (for her to finish her 'job') then carried her to the changing room. Same thing, I asked her:'Have you finish your poo, Alexis?'. Same thing - she smiled.

I started cleaning her up and just when I had finish cleaning that last bit, there was a loud 'splat' - her poo 'flew' towards my direction and landed on my fingers and the changing mat (luckily my fingers were fast - else I think more areas will be stained).

Well, until now (6:20pm), she is sound asleep and I hope this is the 3rd incident marks the end of 'Friday, the 13th'.

It rained almost the whole day today so I guess everyone will sleep well tonite, UNLESS....God bless... :)

p.s. No matter how many times of 'incidents' she gives me, I am still as calm as the SEA, perhaps because irregardless of what 'shit' she gives, she is still my precious girl - I guess this is the same for every mother out there ;)

Nadia's 6th Birthday

Today is Nadia's 6th birthday.
I was still in confinement, but wanted so badly to celebrate this day with my niece, hence had them come over to my place for the celebration instead.

Ya, just never wanna missed any of their birthdays; unless really can't be of help type of situation; which seldom happens ;)
