Baby Edward has pretty much establish a stabler night sleeping routine where he would sleep for at least 5-6 hours in a row. Unless woken up very uncomfortably by wind in her tummy.
Clarisse too has made pleasant progress when it comes to sleeping time. It has always been mommy who tucks her in for the past 2 and a half years. She needs me by her side to doze off every night. But for the past two to three weeks, Clarisse doesn’t need me to sleep next to her. This free up some time for me to tend to baby Edward instead of relying on daddy to take care of him until Clarisse sleeps.
It took us a couple of weeks to be sure Clarisse has finally adapted to sleeping alone. Not just a fluke.

Having gave birth to baby Edward for nearly 4 months now, I still have quite a lot of weight to lose. A lot of friends and family members commented I now look thinner than before. But I am not satisfied yet. I am going to do my best to lose an extra five to ten kilograms. My daily routine now involves a lot of household work. Which is good as it burns a lot of calories while doing something useful. I’m going to gather all diet aids and trim my diet menu. Spend more time on the treadmill in the morning, that is if baby Edward and Clarisse are still asleep. In my goal to lose at least five more kilograms this year.

My in-laws are planning a ski vacation to Switzerland by the end of this year. My sister-in-law too will be tagging along. They are wondering if they could bring Clarisse along by then. I really wouldn’t mind, in fact, I’d love for Clarisse to travel with them. But knowing her, she won’t go anywhere without mommy along. Perhaps her behaviour would change by year’s end. It’s very inconvenient for everyone now that Clarisse won’t let anyone take care of her other than mommy.

Baby Edward achieved a milestone recently. Baby Edward can roll over without much of a struggle now. He can also pull his hand out from under his tummy the moment he roll over. He’s been practising for about two weeks so he’s pretty good at it. Baby Edward enjoys his tummy time. Whenever I put him lying down on his back, he’d roll over nine out of ten times.

My nephew is about to turn 13 in a few months. My sisters and I are considering pooling some money to get him a Sony Playstation 3 (ps3) for his birthday. My mom though is suggesting we get Nintendo Wii instead. She argues the Wii would be suitable for the entire family and judging from the reviews, the Wii is indeed a family entertainment tool. We have not arrived at a decision between ps3 or Wii yet. Knowing him, I’m quite certain he’ll enjoy the games in ps3 more than Wii.

It’s time for my life insurance and health insurance annual premiums. These two policies, along with our home and car insurance, takes a huge chunk out of our yearly finances. We set aside money for these huge expenses at the start of the year. Next week our insurance agent will arrive and collect it. As much as we hate to pay, we have to face the fact that we can’t live without these protection.

One of the biggest headaches of raising baby Edward was lack of sleep. Although Clarisse too woke up crying for milk often during the night when she was still an infant, I would put her down on my bed, breastfeed her and she would nurse herself to sleep again. But baby Edward was different. Instead of dozing off, he’d nurse a little and cry. So the first three months with him was terrible. Many nights were spent breastfeeding, bottlefeeding and getting him to sleep again. Several times a night. I could barely get to sleep for 3 or 4 hours straight.
To make things worst, Clarisse would wake up crying for mommy. She sleeps in another room with her dad. But when she wakes up in the wee hours of the morning, she will cry and insist on being carried into my room to sleep with me. When she’s on my bed, she would annoy the hell out of me because the sound of her talking and crying would most likely wake baby Edward up.
Baby Edward will be 4 months old in 4 days. For the past two to three weeks, he slept through the night. After a late night bottle feed at about 12am, baby Edward now sleeps about 6 hours straight. Most probably longer if I didn’t wake him up at 7am for breastfeeding.
This also means I’m able to sleep through the night as well. After more than a month of sleep deprivation, I’m so glad baby Edward has adjusted into a healthy sleeping routine. I wake up feeling much more refreshed every morning now.

My brother-in-law has got his transfer request approved. He is doing architecture and works with Hames Sharley in Perth. He applied to transfer to Sydney last year. We received his email about transfer approval this morning. I can imagine how happy he is. He has already packed all his stuff – portfolios, draughts, cad drawings, clothes and books – for courier. In the meantime, all his stuff will be sent to his uncle’s house in Sydney as he has yet to find an apartment to rent. He starts work in mid February.
