Tee’s first Sunday School

Posted on April 19, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

We finally did it. Dragged ourselves out of bed on an early Sunday morning to attend Tee's first class. She loved it. Drats. This means we have to lug our heavy selves to Church every Sunday from here on. I sat in with her today just because it.......click to learn what next.

Tee’s naughty antics

Posted on April 15, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

Tee has of late been playing the Hubs and I off each other, but if she thinks she can get away with her tricks, she is sadly mistaken. I must admit though that the Hubs is a bigger sucker for his daughter than I am. Today, I was.......click to learn what next.

Pregnancy weight gain

Posted on April 15, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

In my last pregnancy, I put on 13 kilos in total and Tee was only 2.5 out of that. This time round, I've already put on 8 kilos and I still have 3 more months to go. Yikes! Well, I've told myself that as soon as wounds are.......click to learn what next.

"Mommy, I'm SO BORED!!! Look up my nostrils, do you see a forest?" Whilst driving home from Music School today, Tee whined about her boredom in the car. No Shit Sherlock, this girl needs to be entertained 24/7 round the clock! What does she think I am, Stanley.......click to learn what next.

A tender moment between a mother and daughter

Posted on April 15, 2009April 15, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

Last night, Tee woke up at 5am to go to the bathroom. After that, the both of us couldn't sleep till 630am so she woke up late for school at 830am. But nevermind that. In her sleepy state, eyes half closed, she turned to me in bed and.......click to learn what next.

Bittergourd for diabetes

Posted on April 14, 2009April 14, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

I've just forced Tee to eat 5 spoonfuls of baby bittergourd (cooked in an omelette), which is known to be even better nutritionally than the big bittergourd. She hated it but she swallowed it. Good girl. Whenever I eat bittergourd, my blood sugar tends to drop as it.......click to learn what next.

Too tired to cook

Posted on April 13, 2009April 13, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

Whenever I'm too tired to cook, like today, I whipped up a simple and quick lunch that Tee and I both love. The Hubs doesn't because he has more gourmet taste buds but he isn't around for lunch. I fried some sardines with onions and blanched some green.......click to learn what next.

What to do when you have a smart kid

Posted on April 13, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

Contrary to what the Doctor said about keeping Tee challenged by learning a new language yet keeping her within her same age group, we have decided against it. We really don't want to send her to a Chinese School. I have always been the youngest amongst my peers.......click to learn what next.

Always hungry!!!

Posted on April 13, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

Having gestational diabetes is no fun. At almost 6 months, I am always hungry. I have told the Hubs, no point asking me if I'm hungry yet as the answer is always yes! The worst part is that it is so difficult to find something to eat at.......click to learn what next.
