just before she popped :)

and 3 months later today, i still have 13kg to lose before i regain my pre-pregnancy weight*!

well ok to be fair, it wasn't all her fault. ethan was responsible for half of that weight gain when i was expecting him which i never quite got to lose before i became pregs with emma :P

it's gonna be a slow painful process, i can tell...

* notice i did not use the word "figure"... go figure :P

good days and bad

babies really are unpredictable. they can be like perfect textbook babies one day, and the next day all hell breaks loose :P anyway, i've decided not to give myself undue pressure by following the books that say babies should be put on a routine. way too stressful. i'll just see what little emma wants to do, and take it from there. it certainly is a lot easier. as long as she's putting on weight, i think we're good!

more n more...

emma is getting more n more difficult to manage with each passing day. i thought it was supposed to get easier as you understand them more each day, but that doesnt seem to be the case for me!

the most challenging thing now is getting her to sleep. we have to rock, cuddle, walk until she sleeps n 5 min after we lay her down in her cot, she's up again! what do i have to do to get her to sleep on her own?!? she's whining again now as i blog this, so i have to go....

double bonus!

here are 2 videos of emma - one of her cooing and the other where she has discovered her fingers and happily munching on them... i just cant get her to take the pacifier and i'm really hoping this doesnt become a bad habit!

gym membership

emma is now a member of the tiny love gym that gor gor used to frequent :)

bouncy bouncy

we finally got emma a bouncer. it was a good deal cos it was on offer at $60 (UP was $170 - i wonder which goondu would buy it at that price?!?)

anyway thank goodnees she likes it. we can now put her in it when she's awake and she'll be pretty entertained. it's got a wonderful vibration mode too - so when she starts to lose interest in the other gizmos on it and starts to whine, we activate the vibration! and she immediately quietens down again :) but we gotta go stock up on D size batteries, at the rate she's going! honestly, fisher price should build a model that comes with a power adaptor u can connect to the mains :P
