My New Addiction...












The Black Berry Green Tea Frappucino..

I'm into the whole green tea thing so when i heard bout it, i rushed to the nearest starbucks..and i'm now addicted! I've had it every other day now..

So i know its not suppose to be in my diet plan but i just can't resist it!

Ofcourse there's been mixed reviews bout it...my mom in law says it taste awful..my sis in law says it taste like cough syrup...

I say keep it on the starbucks menu!! yummmyyy...

temper tantrums!

Andrew's starting his temper tantrum phase...i think its too soon for him to throw fits but he is now totally capable of frustrating me and pj...more on pj though coz well that guy seriously lacks patience..and so does our son!
How do you discipline a 15 month year old? I'm totally lost..so the child psychiatrist i spoke to told me...to firmly say no and then distract him..sounds easy..
Well..that didn't work..he went on to throw everything out of the cupboard then when i carried him away..he threw himself to the ground and started screaming..oh boy..i can't believe he's only 1.If he does it at home..i honestly don't mind..let him scream and shout and i still won't give in...Its a whole different thing when you're in mall..
Andrew's walking now so he hates being in a stroller when we're out.. he is now able to lead you where he wants to go..and well he saw the lego store..Lots of kids and color..We didn't mind him playing..but after 15 mins..we had to leave..and the cheerful little boy suddenly started screaming..crying..and yes..heads started to turn. He wanted this truck with lego in it. I didn't want to get it coz i know he's just gonna get sick of it after a day..but to keep him quiet pj bought it..
The toy...*sigh* which was about 30 bucks is juz in the box and ofcourse he totally lost interest..oh well.
There are days where i feel like pulling my hair out but there are good days ofcourse.
Andrew's really attentive...it can be good and bad..He knows how to put the dvd into the player ..so anything that looks like a dvd he tries to put in the dvd player..even the ps games..hahaha.
Now when he sees me picking up his toys he actually helps me to clean up.
Pj and i were talking on how many kids we want to have...i know i want another one or maybe 2 more? I just don't think i can have another baby yet coz andrew's my baby..its a weird feeling thinking of another baby...

The Results Are In!

Got a call from andrew's doctor yesterday morning...i knew it wasn't good news. She told me to get a piece of paper and a pen coz i have some things to write down.

Andrew's Allergy test didn't come out as she would like and she was a little shocked by it.

Andrew's allergic to PEANUTS, COW'S MILK,EGG WHITE AND...SOY!

Yes! Andrew's allergic to soy..so i guess the reason why his allergies aren't going away bcoz of that..andrew's doctor was really nice she took it upon herself to call the allergist..and ask what alternative should andrew take..They both decided on Rice milk but andrew's doc called me back and told me to try to give him atleast 8oz of soy so he'll be able to get some nutrients in..

The earliest Pediatric Allergist is on May 9...nothing earlier..that sucks!

*sigh*..if a have another baby..i'll force myself to breastfeed..thats a promise to myself!

GENETICS

Just came back from Andrew's doctor(yes i know..again). His allergies are acting up and its on his face..he just keeps scratching it..i've given up on all medications i can think of so i called his doctor.

Dr. wasn't too happy with his face..she then prescribes antibiotics and an oral anti-itch medications. I've tried my best to avoid all oral medications coz its so difficult to give it to him and well being so young..i've heard its pretty bad for his immune system.
Here's the deal.All his allergies,asthma and eczema are all genetic..not from me but my hubby's side..HAHAHA.


When you're in love and think you might someday marry this guy..i honestly don' t think anyone (well maybe a few) actually bothers to ask about his pass health problems or genetics. I only found out about the whole genes thing when i was pregnant. I remember the doctor asking pj and me a bunch of health question and was shock that most of it applied to him or his family.

I also just found out that all the male in his family has had a minor operation because of a hernia.
I'm just glad that andrew's health insurance is pretty good and he gets free doctors visit till his 5!..that has saved us alot since i'm there like hmm twince a month!


*sigh*.....the things you do for love! hahaha

thank you

i'm happier now. :) I'm thankful for the blessings.

We do have our down moments,where we both feel like everything in the world is against us or days where we both we love to be away from each other.

No matter what..we both are in this together. Its not easy being married..we both are very different but we both love shopping!

I'm happy that everythings better..thank you for understanding. I'll definately be more attentive next time.

Its alot of work and i am grateful that he's willing to try. Thank you...:)
