In the midst of my orientation for the baby(and how friends have been commenting ‘You look damn amateur can?’), I was dropped a bomb faster than I had expected.And that is plus.. naming Minibean, plus her long-overdued birth registration, passport… PR application.. and this Sunday’s baby full month(okay okay, I just confirmed everything like today? How last minute?! So if you haven’t gotten an invite from me, it is because I am juggling nursing/pumping/eating/messaging/planning/working in between invites) preparations.
I had wanted to blog about new career opportunities, and how I would need some time to plan..
Then, I received a call that came earlier than expected, that my company might be giving me this opportunity.
So, this Friday, I am needed back at the office. Before my confinement period is up(okay, not that it makes a difference with the way I had been going out)!
Oh dear.
Oh dear.
Oh dear.
Ahh!!!!
Don’t start asking me about post-confinement nanny plans for Minibean.
Cos it pressures me, and I have no answer.
Yet.
Just like the name.
*Gulp*
Update @5.30pm: Manager just called to remind me to dress sharply for Friday’s meeting. That means, I need to be in blazer, work skirt, and the works, looking sleep and sharp.
Then, I froze for a moment, and then told him not to forget that I am 3 weeks post-partum and I am not even sure if I can squeeze my fat ass into the above-mentioned articles.
I don’t even have time to get new ones!
I don’t dare to admit, but I am like, damn nervous, can?
Hey Ting,
No stress, no nervous k? Since u can fit into those jeans of urs, I’m sure u can still squeeze into those skirts w/o splitting a seam =)
How’s the pump thing? I am asking ard for u as well. I think manual pumps are better and more reliable (thou more troublesome)… Remember I mentioned to you about Avent pump? They have the silicon bumps on the “funnel” which are more effective in expressing out the milk, and definitely more comfortable and gentle than most of the brands out there.
Will let u know ya?
Oopsie! but no worries, I’m sure you can squeeze into the outfit perfectly fine. Jiayou jiayou! =)
Hope to know abt minibean’s name soon!
RE: Breast Pump
It depends on whether u r looking to get a 1st/2nd-hand pump. May range from 50 – 150?
Leme know so I can confirm the price
heya ger,
hmz..no worries!!u look fantastic!!hehe..ah..so fast…minibean is already goin to be 1 mth old!!=)sighz..babies do grow up so fast eh…take care!and dun stress urself too much!
hugz,
Sharlene
Why nobody recommend hand-expressed method?
Don’t ask me how they do it but I know some mothers who do without pump.
The round-ups in pumps are:-
Manual: Avent
Battery/Electric: Mandela
When you buy a pump, manual or otherwise, you may want to buy new valves as the old one may have hardened or a bit oily.
Oh, use cross-cut teats. Tried 6 other brands before settling on this one. Don’t waste your money on peristaltic (sp?) ones.
