Heyyy…..

Methinks the exhaustion is back. Can’t seem to keep my eyelids open past 11pm!!! Last night I even fell asleep while watching my favourite CSI Vegas… and that almost NEVER happens!!! What the heck is wrong with me?? Huhuhu…

It could be the fact that my sinus is acting up.. again. Can’t seem to stop sneezing from morning till high noon, and that results in me walking around like a zombie for the rest of the day (hence the exhaustion). And I’ve tried almost everything… taken sinus medication from the doc, took some herbal vites my mom gave me, drank one too many vitamin C drinks… stuffed a tissue up my nose (gross, I know, but I’m running out of ideas!!!). Each remedy only helps for a while or a day, and then I’ll have to start all over again… I don’t wanna be dependant on medication for the rest of my life! Argh… If any of you have some alternative remedies in mind, do let me know coz I’m open to suggestions…

Anywayz, fortunately there’s some good news for me in the past week. For some of you who knows, Deena was sick again last weekend — high fever and some spots on her body — and the doc diagnosed it as Viral Fever after conducting a bloodtest. I know its not really good news, but its a definite relief that its not Dengue or Measles… huhu! Deena’s fever and spots have now subsided, and she’s overcome with renewed energy and cheerfulness. She can’t seem to keep still for long, always grabbing or chewing on something and when I clap and sing to her she will dance or move her hands and legs… Sooo cute! Here’s some of Deena’s latest achievements and antics:

# Rolling over and over till she falls off her mat/mattress

# Attempting to scoot forward on her tummy but ends up going round and round or backwards.. haha

# Waved me goodbye when I send her off before going to work

# Playing the "musical keyboard" on her walker

# Clapping along to "Tepuk Amai Amai"… with her feet!

# When we stand her up on her feet, she will dance — moving her hips to and fro and bending her knees while waving her arms around!

# Sticking her tongue out and blowing her spit out from between her lips and tongue… naughty! *NEW*

# Sitting up all by herself! *NEW*

I just can’t wait to go home everyday to see what new trick she has up her sleeve… huhu. Playing with her after a long day at the office is definitely a cure for all my aches and pains. I’m sure all you mothers out there know what I’m talking about… hehe.

Oh and one more good news… I’m back to my pre-pregnancy weight! Woohooooo!!! I found this out while waiting for our turn to see Deena’s doc the other day, and the weight scale was simply "beckoning" me over. I admit, I haven’t had the guts to step on a weight scale since giving birth… the thought of seeing that my weight was still 10kg or more over my normal weight is just too much of a disappointment for me to handle a few months ago, but since I could wear my old pre-pregnancy slacks again, I gained the courage to finally step on a scale. I cannot describe the relief and happiness I felt!

But I’m still not completely satisfied… far from it! I hope to lose a couple more kilos… preferably back to my pre-marriage weight and of course, attempt to lose the mommie-pouch I got from pregnancy. Which means… I need to cut down on the carb-heavy food and the frappuccinos (YEAH RIGHT!!! hahaha). No, seriously, I need to get some exercise. But how??? I can hardly find some "Me Time" nowadays. Perhaps I need to reevaluate my weekly schedule and see what I can squeeze in and do without. Wish me luck!
