Is it God’s doing on her?

Filed under: Melaleuca, Son Samuel — swling @ 8:23 am

When I was pregnant with samuel, I fell in love with this Cd. It was a CD created to collect money to bring up the 7 twins (I think so. ) delivered by Bobbi McCaughey. They make the guinese World Record as 7 living babies.  It has songs that were soothing to my ears and especially, it’s lyrics were so promising to me of God’s word.

Through Lydia, I found out more information about the mother who delivered the 7 babies-all of them were healthy. Of course, two was not doing very well but they are alright. Now, I came across their mother’s testimony that she actually took Melaleuca’s vitamin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_KhmnT2IEY&feature=related

Stop using Talc

Filed under: Melaleuca, Products/Services, Son Daniel, Son Samuel, son Ezekiel — swling @ 4:59 am

During my eldest son’s confinement, my mother refused to use talcum on him. I asked her and she explained because of the particle’s that he will inhale. She used tapioca instead. stating that even if inhaled, is not poison. Since then, I have been using tapioca as talcum for my three sons. I also suggested this to my friend’s newborn. You must make sure you get the clean tapioca. Don’t just take a spoonful from your cooking item-dirty-lah.
Today, it is the 3rd month I joined Melaleuca and I researched into this issue. here is what I found from CAP.

An atricle “Cancer warning needed for talcum powder” the imgredient “magnesium silicate hydroxide (commonly known as talc)” can “can cause tumours in human ovaries and lungs.” read more at http://www.consumer.org.my/products/children/65-cancer-warning-needed-for-talcum-powder

Why Malaysian women are having ovary cancern? “Latest findings from the United States suggest that women who use talcum powder are 40% more likely to get ovarian cancer. Experts from Harvard Medical School in Boston studied more than 3,000 women and found using talc merely once a week raised the risk of ovarian cancer by 36%, rising to 41% for those applying powder daily.”

Convert yourself. Try to use tapioca. If you feel disgusting, then use proper product. Read the ingredient before you buy (like my husband always do)

Ah yes, the article also suggeted this “consumers are advised to use powder which is made from corn or rice flour. Mothers are advised to use ointments instead of medicated powders for rashes in babies.”

Interactive Museum

Filed under: Idea & Innovation, Son Daniel, Son Samuel — swling @ 2:21 pm

Just at my children. If only the virtual museum could allow them to simulate themselves as how the animal is.
Actually this is possible with the Virtual Reality technology and also the sensory-what they called it already?

Mamalia museum

During school holiday, we brought the children to this museum at Putrajaya. Thought it was very amusing, wished it had more interaction since we are now in the era of Web 2.0

When they played too wild

My lovely and adorable little Samuel has just grown up to be 8 years old today. From a adorable little boy, today he is what I say “monster.”

When he was 7 years old, I called him “monkey.”

What else would I call him when he is 9 years old? Can think of another M???

The Lord’s Garden

Filed under: Son Daniel, Son Samuel, Sunday School — swling @ 5:35 pm

22 November 2009 was Ezekiel’s 5 months. It was also my church’s first step to the new sanctuary. We named it The Lord’s Garden. It depicts a safe and comfortable place for the children to learn about the word of God. In His garden is where they will grow and learn to receive blessings of all kinds.

I see my children grow up in the church. They may not be acting obediently but I know this is a process of growing up. I always reminded myself of that song “he is still working on me.” As much as I want my children to be mature and understand my situation, they are still my little children who wants their mother’s attention. I am glad because most of the time, Samuel has been very understanding. Little Daniel is asking for demand but he will be alright. All I need to do is to pray more for him.

Cesarean/C-sect

Filed under: Son Daniel, Son Samuel, experience, son Ezekiel — swling @ 1:15 pm

My three sons were delivered via a cesarean (c-sect). All of them were done horizontally, or bikini cut. How I ended up with c-sect? It all happened seven years ago with my eldest son at SJMC. I was fully dilated (yup, 10 cm) but the baby’s head was stuck in the canal because his head is too big for pelvic bone. Something like this, I could not get the clear picture myself too but something to do with big head(36 cm).

The second baby I wanted to try VBAC but Dr. Tan, Britannia Hospital advised not to take risk. Further, if I failed VBAC and switch to c-sect, there will be two cost incurred. Heh, just like SJMC. It cost us around RM7500 for three days stay. The second baby only cost us RM4100.

Now for the youngest baby, I have no doubts of going for another c-sect. I was also prepared for the pains, after surgery. This time, I went back to Dr. Tan and choose my date. Baby came out 7 hours ealier as compared to 2nd baby, 2 days earlier. This baby cost me extra, around RM4400 due to extra medication. As for the final c-sect, I also performed Tubal Bilateral Ligation, which cost another RM300.  The thoughts of getting pregnant again frigthens me, besides Dr. Tan mentioned that my uterus was thin too. Doctors are concerned about uterus rupture for the subsequent delivery.

C-sect? People has the perception that is was painless. They are right, it was totally not pain during surgery. Unfortunately, after the pain killer subsides, you will feel lots of pain and uncomfortable feeling around the stomach.

According to Dr. Tan, I was given injection to shrink the uterus. Pain is good, ya know. At least your uterus is shrinking allowing you to recover faster and getting slimmer too. In comparing three delivery, my stomach is biggest after during the 3rd baby. Daniel has mistaken me as having 2nd baby when h looked at my big stomach. However, it is already 2 weeks now and it has shrinked into half. Not bad eh? Thanks all to the wonder of breastfeeding.

Also, lochia was cleaned thoroughly during surgery, so there will be less of it as compared to vaginal delivery.

OK, got to feed baby now…continue later.

Always my helper

Filed under: Son Daniel, Son Samuel — swling @ 4:32 am

This is a recent picture of Samuel, helping the maid to carry a color box from our apartment into our car. Of course, little Daniel wants to help too.

During the school holiday, We actually sent him to join “I’m possible” camp organized by Harvest church. He has really enjoyed himself. In fact, he was the leading actor in the performance and in fact, won the award of best Leadership. At home, he would not stop helping themaid, cleaning plates, car, wipe furnitures and etc while Daniel and I were soundly sleeping.

It has been few weeks since Samel subcribed the weekly magazine from his school. He would, under his father’s encouragement, participated in the weekly competition.

Last week, I overheard his father mention about stopping. It is like an effort without reward. I believe everyone would feel the same too in any competition.

Two days ago, I heard his father claimed of exciteIt seems that Samuel finally won the consolation prize. Well, the little one don[t seems to understand all the extement except with his sheppish smile.

They won back their interest to participate again.

Samuel dislikes coloring

Filed under: Son Samuel — swling @ 3:54 pm

He does not like coloring because it is tiring-as he said. However, as he grows up (7 years old). He would do it for the sake of getting prizes. Well, as an artist myself, I also hope he could be a better artist than me :)

Samuel before coloring competition

These two photos were taken back when he was 6 years old. The reason why I wrote it now because I could not find the cable to download it from my mobile phone. Till one day, I found the bluetooth device.

Anyway, back to Samuel. He looked very excited about the competition or maybe he has not been thinking about it.

Look at another picture.

Samuel during coloring competition

This was taken while we waited for the competition to start. Look at the sulk and boring face-guess how long we waited? If this little boy is Daniel, I think the table would be empty without it’s owner.
