I've shifted this blog to http://aboutpieandpea.wordpress.com.
Reason I did this was to consolidate my posts to include pictures of both my sweeties (and that I could password protect it... meaning if I don't want you to view the pictures, I don't need to let you know the password... hehe :))
So come and visit my blog at it's new house...
Last Wednesday, I brought Pie home to spend the rest of the week with us. Main reason was to let my Mum go for her line dancing class that night.
When I reached Mum's house, she was teling me that Pie is quite reluctant to go back to Mah Mah Yeah Yeah's house. Pie doesn't mind coming back, as long as either hubby or I am at home to look after her. Now that she's at my Mum's place most of the time, she's not that used to spending the entire day with hubby's parents. Nevertheless, I still had to bring her home.
When I asked Pie whether want to come home, she initially nodded her head. Then I told her that Daddy and Mummy tomorrow go to work, you stay at home with Mah Mah and Yeah Yeah. Then I asked "OK". She refused to even answer me. When she doesn't answer, I know that she doesn't like to do that thing. Later on she even said, Mummy don't go work, stay at home with Ashley. How I wished I could... I had to bribed her that I bring home all the CDs for her to watch... then only she came home with me.
Luckily I had to go out early to work the next day... so by the time she's up, she didn't see me at all. But came Friday morning, she was up before I left for work. She immediately came up to me and hugged me and didn't want to let me go. I was quite heartbroken looking at her like that, but I was late for work. I told her that "Mummy come home and play with you, ok. Mummy go to work first..." I know she's reluctant and don't want to let go, but eventually she did also...
We wanted to buy education insurance for Pea, and hubby's 1st brother has a friend whom sells ING insurance. Therefore, we decided to meet up with his friend at his place (more convenient for the friend I guess). We all went to his place around 1+ pm (by the time I fed Pea and we left the house, it was around 12.30 pm, and the journey there took another 45 mins... haha... obviously coz his place was in Sepang). And we didn't really had lunch yet (even Pie, though MIL gave her lotsa CNY goodies to eat b4 hand).
Reached there, and the friend immediately explained the insurance to hubby. I would love to listen as well (though it alwiz never ever register to the mind), but I was carrying Pea and she had to choose that time to do her big business (she did once just b4 we left for house). I let her finished it first, before going to 1st SIL's room to change Pea. After changing Pea, MIL took over, and instead of listening to insurance thingy, I took care of Pie then. Later on, fed Pie some noodles (from my Mum)... but she didn't feel like eating much.
Once settled the insurance, we headed for Dengkil town for lunch (though it was 3 pm, we still need to eat). A lil' too lazy to drive another, all of us (8 adults, 2 kids) sat onto hubby's new car... it was just nice, though I have a 15kg kid sitting on my lap... haha :)
After lunch, dropped 1st brother and his family home, along with the friend. Both kids were exhausted, that they slept most of the way home... with the new car, it was very comfy for them... bet Pie really do love it a lot (and I also bet that she totally forgot about not letting Tai Pak sit her dad's new car).
Pie has the habit of drinking milk (from the bottle), and then only falling asleep. I would love to break this habit, but then what is called a habit ? It's something that needs time (and a super long time) to break it.
Thus when my Mum brought her to see the doctor (due to Pie complaining of stomach ache), doctor's advise was not to drink any milk (is there a link that milk can cause gas ?). You know what Pie's reply was ? She said "No milk, Ashley cannot sleep!". Which is very true. (By the way, it was her 2nd visit to the doctor in a week - her 1st one was due to fever)
Which makes me think that I must try to change Pie's habit of drinking milk from the bottle (and has to be done soon). I tried to get her to drink from the bottle which has a straw instead, but after sucking a few times, she grew tired and refused to drink, thus had to resort back to putting into her normal bottle. Anyone can help ?
Pie had fever on Saturday. It all started with her having her usual milk intake. After I gave her the milk, I was expressing milk at one corner. As she couldn't finish her milk, I didn't force her; instead put the bottle away, meaning to wash it later on. Then I was back to expressing milk, letting her lie down for a while (laze away). Then I heard coughing, I thought nothing of it. Pie called out to me, and I went to see her. Then only did I saw that she actually vomitted some milk out. Then she vomitted a bit again, and I quickly called out to hubby. Hubby brought out a basin, meant to contain her milk, but haven't even reached her, she vomitted the entire bulk... leaving a big mess on the bedsheet, her clothes, my pants and a small area on her blanket. Then she started crying loudly and I tried to console her (but couldn't), and she almost woke Pea up. Hubby quickly brought her to the washroom for a quick wash, while I tried my best to wash the vomit away. Can't even stand the smell, I quickly remove the bedsheet and the mattress protector (but there were stain on the mattress too).
After being washed up, Pie felt better, and immediately went out to the garden. I couldn't even get her to sit down and rest (looks like after her vomitting, she felt very good). Since she was quite active again, hubby brought her and the rest of the family out for 'Pai Lin' (visit relatives), leaving me behind, as I had to attend to my customer's problem later on.
I went out to my customer's place, thinking that I should be back by mid afternoon (at most). But then, I was only back around 9 pm, and that also had yet to have dinner.
When I came back, Pie was watching tv, but wasn't feeling too well. She already had fever on and off the entire day. Hubby sponged her, and the fever went down, but after she slept, it went up again. Gave her fever medicine twice, but hubby wasn't happy that the ear thermometer was around for him to use, as it was at Mum's place (I'm sorry dear hubby). I was supposed to pick it up on my way home from work, but I left my customer's place late, thus didn't manage to.
Gave Pie her milk, and she immediately dozed off. I then had my dinner, and went to sleep a while later. Pea woke up for her milk around 2 in the morning. After feeding Pea, checked on Pie, and found that her body was quite warm. Woke hubby up, and he sponged her body (to cool down her body temperature). Checked her temperature and it was at 38.6 celcius. Immediately gave her fever medicine, and sponged her some more. Next check was at 38.3 celcius, more sponging. Next check was down to 36.4 celcius... her fever broke and she requested for milk. Gave her half dosage, and after a while, she went to sleep (not even allowing me to express my milk).
Luckily the next day she felt much better. Hubby thought that she still had fever, so took her to see the doctor. At the clinic, told the doctor the sequence of events, but after checking her, she doesn't have fever anymore, neither does she have any other sickness (no sore throat either). Doctor said there's nothing wrong with her anymore and she's so active, maybe it was just at that time that her fever come and go. Therefore, he only prescribed fever medicine for her (I think if he can don't prescribe anything or if I didn't keep babbling on about her having fever and what could caused it, he might have just said that no medication needed).
Now she's back at my Mum's place, and I bet she's active and talkative as ever again...
My take is that both Pie and Pea enjoyed their CNY celebration a lot. Esp, when they received much ang pows from relatives.
Pie came back on Saturday afternoon, as it was CNY eve (Hubby's parents would like everyone to be around during CNY). And she was with us for CNY hols until she kinda got stuck to me (again). Luckily her 2nd Uncle (Yee Pak) took her under his wing and she played with him while I was busy packing things for Genting trip (with the new car obviously).
Talking about the new car, Pie was very protective of it. When hubby's Uncle and Aunt opened the car to see the interior, she grew angry until at one point started crying out loud. I was dumbfounded, as I've not seen her like that. She must be thinking why are they taking MY (noticed the word MY) car away. She must really loved the car so much. I had to console her, telling her that Uncle and Aunty is only seeing the car, not taking it away. Thus that night I purposely test her to see who can sit the car... People whom can sit the car - Daddy, Mummy, Grandparents, Uncles, Aunties, Granduncles & Grandaunties, her cousins... but not one of her Uncle (hubby's eldest brother). I asked her twice whether Tai Pak can sit the car, and she kept saying cannot. Then she went on saying, Uncle Aunty can see the car, but CANNOT sit in the car. That's how protective she is of the car...
As for Pea, the entire time she kept cooing to people to talk to her. She loves it when my Mum and Grandmother talk to her non-stop... she'll answer you by cooing, smiling; like she do understand what you are talking about. She (unhappily) slept in the car seat on the way up to Gohtong Jaya, but luckily was quite ok with the trip up to Genting (maybe because at that time there were so many people talking and laughing together).
My parents brought Pie to 1 Utama to see the Lion Dance today. It seems that she enjoyed the show so much, until my Mum bought her 2 CDs - 1 is a Lion Dance Competition, 1 is a cartoon which I assumed would have a lion dance in it ?
Anyway, now Pie keeps talking about "Tong Tong Chang" (the sound of the drums for the lion dance). Surprisingly, she is not scared of it. I remembered that I was scared of the lion, eventhough I was 6 years old, that I dare not touch it and someone (cannot remember who... must look back at the pix) was carrying me (like trying to console me). My girl is really brave...
