How much do you consume during your confinement month?

Usually I will drink a bowl of soup, with a meat dish (chicken, pork or fish) with a bowl of rice. Many mums who are wishing to slim down has advise against the intake of rice during the confinement month. And true enough, my confinement lady just told me that eating less rice during confinement month can really slim one down more rapidly.

Currently I am only concern about the having not enough milk for my babies. Therefore, I still eat a bowl or rice, hoping that I’ll be able to produce more milk for my babies. Hopefully with breastfeeding, I’ll be able to burn the body fat soon, or with the help of Anoretix, to increase the metabolism in my body.

Hooray, the Moon cake festival is coming soon. Although the Chinese Lunar 7th month (Hungry Ghost festival) has not arrive yet, all shops are already starting to sell the lanterns and moon cakes in conjunction to the Chinese Lantern festival (which falls in the Chinese Lunar 8th Month). I can’t wait to taste the yummy moon cakes again, and I bet this time, surely the price will rise tremendously. Hmm…still got to watch out my diet otherwise I’ll need to sought help from medication and diet help such as the Phentermine no prescription.

Time to go and get the lanterns for my kids!!

My girl has been involving a lot in my cooking and baking projects. Each time we back, she will be my “faithful helper”, helping me to mess sift the flour, break the eggs and mix the butter. We normally ended up quite messy each time, but she really loves the result of what we produce at the end of the day!

Recently with the bento craze, I am getting her into it too. Maybe I should do some personalized children’s book for all her projects at home to record down what she has done during her childhood

dryers

Just imagine how many nappies we are washing daily now with 2 babies! We even use them to wrap up the babies to keep them tight (so that they will not get frightened easily) and warm. But for the past 2 days, it was raining so heavily that we almost have no nappies to use anymore. Unless we get one of those dryers otherwise we can easily substitude them with the disposable diapers. Really cannot imagine what it is like if I still live in the past where there are no diapers!

Due to the c-sect for the delivery, I am not allowed to take any chicken or fish other than pork for the first week. I love confinement food but for the first week, I am only allow to take pork (plus it’s spare parts). Getting a bit bored with them already as I have been eating mee hoon/noodle with ginger pork, lunch with fried pork or ginger pork soup. Luckily I just manage to get the pork vendor send over some spare parts to me so that we can cook pepper ginger pork trotter soup today!

*think I must really run on my treadmill after this confinement, hehe….*

Guess how much is the expenses for the delivery of my new babies? You will surely laugh your head off if you compare it to the private sector delivery. Less than one thousand after what I have been through! (I mean normal delivery and c-sect plus all the pain killer that I have taken).

So guess what my hubby wanna do with the standby money for the delivery of the babies? Buy his favourite big Plasma TV…sigh…..so now he is searching high and low for the best promotion or sales for the TV. Best if we could use the plasma mount and hold it on the wall

Got interested with the Kitty bread cutter I used previously? Here is another tip for making mini sandwich, using the vege cutter instead.

Since I do not have to prepare any bento for my girl at the moment, I only use the kits for food presentation during her meal. This is what I did for her evening tea using the Pooh vege cutter.

Instead of using the Kitty Bread Cutter, I find that this small vege cutter are more useful to create little one-bite-sandwich which looks more appealing.

The design is fantastic! Instead of working like a normal cutter where we only get the shape of the face, this vege cutter comes with a press down for the eyes, nose and mouth. Besides using this on your steam carrot, potato or bread, you can use this to print your cookies and even tarts too (I even saw one mummy made her pineapple tarts with this!)

Oh, I just cannot wait to lay my itchy hands on the baking tools and start baking with this again!

Tool: Yen472 (if you buy directly from Japan). Approximately RM15

My friend Jane just came over this morning to collect the baking powder from me. And guess what, she just called to tell me that her Nestum cake is ready! She will be sending it over to us soon, YAHOO!!!!!

I really respect her for being able to do so much while taking care of 1 toddler and 1 baby all by herself. Apart from having to clean her apartment and manage all the household during the weekends, she still got time to bake!

I think I better get my own oven soon and install an auto air conditioning in the kitchen so that I’ll be able to bake too in the hot afternoon, when my kids take their nap.

Am waiting to taste the cake, *yum yum*!!

Babyzone.com is a good place to check everything you need to know about pregnancy and parenting. I used to check about the progress of my pregnancy online when I was pregnant with my first child. There is so much useful information to read about, for first time mummy like me. Even though with this second pregnancy, I still need to refer a lot to information about twins’ pregnancy, multiple delivery and after childbirth care. I know it is going to be a lot different from bringing up my first child, furthermore, this time I am carrying boys.

Moving into my 37 weeks today, I think the baby can arrive anytime, any moment from now. Although the boys name Chinese names have been decided, we have not decided how we want the names to be spell in English. I always feel that girl’s name is easier to choose, as there are lots nice of baby girl name meanings to choose online. Am going to browse now to see what I can find!

Just like my dad, I am born quite tan. Living in a country with hot sunny sun throughout all the year, I always make sure that I go out with an umbrella when the sun is hot in the afternoon. Even though I hide under the shade most of the time, I still blessed with dark tan skin, which can really be envied by people who wish to have a darker tan like me.

Whenever we travel to the tourist spot, I often see lots of people by the beach spreading their towel, lying on it hopping to get a nice tan under the sun. However without proper care, one can easily get heartburn. Therefore getting the right tan lotion is very important to protect and moisturize the skin. You can even check out the tanning bed lotion that could give you a natural looking tan while at the same time, preventing your skin from harmful UV rays.
