Chloe’s First Pasta

Monday, May 23rd, 2005
Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Chloe had her first taste of pasta today. She didn’t quite like it during lunch, so during dinner i mixed it into her food instead.. and she seems to be more receptive towards it. The can of pasta was recommended by Charmaine, a g/f from here. She has the most beautiful daughter .. Teagan.. i hope that’s the right way to spell it.
I remember Charmaine so well.. from the very beginning. She used to go to school with my spouse. But Charmaine has such a positive attitude towards everything. During my pregnancy .. she and Angie .. would drop by the store while taking a walk with their princesses .. and chat.. and boost my confidence.. coz’ i was really scared of child birth.
But Charmaine is surely a person with the Oomp! personality.. if you know what i mean..! I’m always grateful to her.. for coming by all the time with Angie.. and encouraging me.. and helping me stay positive. Even after I had Chloe.. whenever we meet at the mall .. usually grocery store…. it is such a pleasure.. because she would share her experience with me.. and encourage me.. and she always .. talk to Chloe.. like she was the most beautiful baby on earth.. even though her Teagan in my opinion is such a precious little princess.
I shall take a picture of Teagan soon.. and show you all.
Anyone will be really lucky to have Charmaine as a girl’s best friend. Thank you .. Charmaine!

Reading Books

Saturday, May 21st, 2005

Chloe is very much into reading these days.. ;)
Donch get me wrong… she doesn’t really read them.. but she keeps turning the pages.. and she loves looking at the pictures.. and pointing at words and pictures.. while she makes me read it over and over and over again to her.
She actually just started this a couple of days ago.. and the tiny books were from GrandAunt Sandra and GrandUncle Garth… for her birthday… last year.
It would be so much fun once Chloe starts talking for real.. instead of jabbering.. hahah!! But i think she might not stop once she starts.. hahahaha!!
Wonder where she gets it from.. ???!!!??? hahhahaha!!!

17 Months Old Today

Thursday, May 19th, 2005
Chloe turned 17 months old today.
She is very smart.. but still do not wanna eat any of our food.. except cookies.. and ice cream… hah!! go figure..!!
She blabbers alot.. but not saying any words still.
Today .. she decided that she wanted to read .. a book.. and she is more outdoorsy now. But she is awfully smart .. like knowing exactly what she wants. And only eating what she wants.. and not over-eat .. even though she loves chocolate and ice cream.
Her sleeping pattern has also gotten better now.. usually only wake up once now.. which is far better than a year ago.

Ultra Sound & A Miracle

Thursday, May 19th, 2005
I went for my yearly ultra sound today at our local hospital and because there was a trainee that the lab – tech wanted to show stuff to… she kinda explained my Uterine fibroids situation and the whole works.
The lab-tech told me.. that i was very lucky .. to be able to carry Chloe to full term because my fibroids were huge!! And i have 2 of them… she didn’t wanna say anything a year ago… but now she felt safe enough to let me know.
So you see why i keep telling everyone that Chloe is a Miracle baby..!!
The lab-tech said.. that i was definitely more uncomfy than any pregnant woman.. because of the way my fibroids were… and it was truly amazing.. that i had endured it all. She guessed that it was the mother-instinct that kicked in.. and all the suffering didn’t matter as long as baby was doing well.
I’m just so glad .. that i was able to carry Chloe full term .. and gave her all that she needed .. before she came out.
The ultra sound left me a little uncomfy.. and i almost feel like throwing up.. because i guess my fibroids were pushed and pushed over and over again for 45mins.
I wouldn’t know the result till a few weeks from today. But good news is .. my kidney is good.. :)
