Name searching for this design which I have done not too long ago. Any suggestion? :)

Do you like winter? It is no doubt MORE grey and gloomy. I read some article from somewhere said that people tend to feel gloomy & depress during winter. So, are you really sure you like winter? I used to like winter but probably not so much this year. The arrival of Peanut really consuming a lot of my time..that including posting a post in here ;) Believe it or not. I am always wanted by Peanut whenever I clicked on "new post". As if it was a jinx to click on that button! Heh :) I hope to get out and do more things...hopefully not that cold.. :S

Speaking of which, I get the chance to tiptoeing do more things today again. I managed to look at some designs. Also spent some time do a bit of planning on how and when I want to reopen my Etsy's store (when am ready, of course!). Stalking some bloggers' blogs...some mates' facebook updates...also get the chance to make a proper meal. Slowly getting back on track.....it's all good :)

Peanut: Cut lunch: Missing U: Thank You card

So it's about a month since Peanut was born. I was practicing culture confinement and that was the main reason my mum flew in o/s to stay with us for approx. 1 month. Basically helping out with cooking and cleaning..of course, her main task was to take care of me. I get to eat lotsa nutrition foods.

Now that am back to old self, this is what I have (my baby step. at least I had some time to make lunch;)...taking care of myself while juggling with taking care of Peanut and Mr Minzy. Oh well....;)

I was living with my parents before the big move to Melbourne for good. I realized how little I know about my mum when she was staying with us. Now that she is gone back to her home...I miss my mum so much. I missed having someone like her to talk to. I missed having someone to ask if I want to eat something just so she can make something for me. I miss my parents so much, especially my mum.

I get the chance to have some time for MYSELF (how I miss that!!) today. I managed to get Peanut settle and I also bath her too :D It wasn't easy to bath her by myself since my mum was doing all that during her stay. Spoil Me! :D

We were blessed to have friends who helped us during this period of time. They are like angels who lift you up when you needed them the most. Here are some of the greeting cards ready to be sent..... Hopefully uphold his/her day when they receive my little token of love. :)

It has been a full on 5 weeks or so since Peanut arrived...I have started to get the hang of being a mum (finger crossed no drama tonight). I am counting the day returning to my creative space. I believe it's going to happen soon. Anyhoo, I hope you get the chance to make fully use of your day in and out. Enjoy your Monday! =)

Update: Please meet Missy Peanut.

Things have changed..ever since Peanut was born.

I was meant to come online update and share the good news with all of you. It is hard to sit here typing away while doing any creation like old days. I am undergoing culture confinement at the moment. That is the major reason my mum flew in from o/s and staying with us for a month or so.

My body is like a clock ticking away...it wakes me up every 3 hours to attend Peanut's feeding time! Not only that, to attend if she is warm enough..if she has her hands off the blanket again (she dislike her hands being tucked away).

One thing for sure is being a mother is not an easy task. I am finding it hard (while still looking to find my feet on the ground) to adapt...breastfeeding even am getting better. IT IS NORMAL for all mother to make sure if your bub is well fed..if he/she is wearing enough to keep him/her warm.

Being a mother is a HUGE promotion from any stage of life for every woman. You not only have to adapt the life changing. But also have to undergoing physical and mentally recovery after labour...

So yeah. Missy Peanut was born on 19th May. She was 3.5kg and 52cm. Believe it or not. She is so long that she cannot fit into the swaddle blanket! Was having breastfeeding issue (well, first timer here and am getting better) at the early stage..and having some pressure on getting her weight back to her birth weight. But where's the pat on the shoulder when she did gained some weight and fed better? It's not easy being a first time mum cuz you tend to absorb all comments and suggestion very personal. Anyways, good news is I believed she is growing longer (again) and her face is looking chubbier...she is waking me up for a feed and not me waking her up instead.

Do you like your baby to be so tiny like newborn forever? Or would you rather see them outgrow from newborn as fast as possible?
