Time passes. Kristy is coming to 30 months in another 4 more days. Kylie is now 4 months and 1 week old.
Let me update about Kristy first.
Many things had happened during my absence from this blog. We had sent back the helper back to the agent. Things happened..blah blah blah. I'm lazy to elaborate over here. So without the helper, my mother was not able to handle both kids by herself. So I had to take leave and also worked from home while thinking of a solution.
A solution was concluded after many days of pondering. We decided to enrol Kristy into a full-day childcare. So we (Kenny and I) started to visit the shortlisted centres and decided on Learning Vision @ Biopolis. Although the centre is not that spacious as compared to the other 2 (Agape @ NTU Alumni and Sherwood @ Ayer Rajah Crescent), but I am comfortable with the teachers and place.
We started Kristy in the childcare on 3rd September. Things did not start as smoothly as I hoped. She had a very serious separation anxiety for the first 2 weeks. She would not take lunch and did not napped much during the noon nap. She slimmed down quite a bit during these 2 weeks. But things started to turn better this week (3rd week). The morning goodbyes were not as bad although Kristy is still crying a bit. But her teachers said she only cried for a while and she is ok after we left. She has started to take her lunch and also finished everything. Nap during noon time is also satisfactory. She would sleep for 2 to 2.5 hours.
Things seem to be improving but we might have to withdraw her from the centre at the end of the year and enroll her either in the PAP 豆豆班 or a childcare centre nearer to my mother's place so that my parents or the new helper can help to fetch her home earlier. It would be better than having to wake her up so early in the morning (7am) and having to reach home around 7+pm, thus resulting in a late dinner.
It is really a dilemma. Having to see her go through everything all over again. It's really very sad for her. I pity her. I feel that I'm not a good mother, having to make her go through so much. Would I be able to come up with a good solution by then? Haiz. We shall see.
Now updates on Kylie. This little gal has been growing well. Brought her for her 2nd dose of DPT/PT. She is currently weighing 7.2kg and a length of 67.5cm (not sure if I heard this correctly as it seems quite long. :p). She is currently running a fever. It shot up to as high as 38.6ºC but it is currently hovering around 37.4ºC to 37.6ºC. Hope it will subside by morning.
A naughty gal as she would not finish her milk at times, thus wasting the precious EBM. Some people would think that it might not be wasteful as I have a good supply of BM. But the hardwork to express the BM out and the rocky journey I had been going through made me treasure every single drop of the BM. So I hope Kylie would try to minimise the amount of wastage. :)
Already 4 months+ but Kylie is still not able to flip. Lazy fellow. But she is able to lift up herself to sitting position if we rested her in a 45 degrees position. Gei kiang leh! Don't know how to flip but wants to sit up. -_-"
