She goes to bed at 8.30pm, and wakes up with a demanding cry at 2-hourly intervals all the way till 7-ish in the morning.
I open my eyes each day feeling like my quota of sleep has been snatched rudely from me. (Or a big fat headache, if you prefer the less poetic version).
But then, as always, I look at her happy morning smile, and somehow I get through the day.
I reckon it is partly my fault for not reinforcing habits for self-soothing. Mostly though, I do think it has got to do with her very active nature. She is one rambunctious little baby. Exploring is prioritized before milk and food, and she therefore pops awake several times at night to feed.
Non-stop, eh?
A parent at the playground recently commented, as he watched her tirelessly crawl up stairs and tumble around, avoiding the legs of older children.
She keeps wriggling!
Another parent said, as she helped carry Bun while I climbed over a low wall to retrieve a ball tossed by Bubbles.
I think I'm going to take her to explore indoor playgrounds while her sister is at school in the mornings. After all, as I have discovered, most have free entry for under 1yos.
For my sanity, I got to let some of her energy be spent in places where she is less likely to eat twigs, bugs, or people's footwear.
Oh, and where the many bumps and knocks she gets are a little more cushioned.
With this backdrop of extreme lack of sleep, and having to constantly keep up with an active baby, a complimentary Restorative Facial by Porcelain - The Face Spa was like my birthday came early.
I haven't had a facial in more than 6 years and felt like some restorative work was certainly in order. The thought of being being in a quiet, restful place, and to lie down uninterrupted for almost 2 hours really, really appealed to me. Even the me-time traveling to and fro was enticing.
The loves...
Porcelain's location along a distinctive row of shop houses, away from busy malls
Ample parking within a walking distance
Clean, cool and quiet interiors
Ingredients used in this new (and not yet up on their website) treatment - safe for pregnant and nursing mothers
Personalized product selections
The head and shoulder massage!!
Therapists wear no make-up, upholding a good, natural skin philosophy
Thank you, Porcelain, for a lovely afternoon!

Totally feel you on the fact that even travelling there and back becomes precious (quiet) me-time!

Taking care of our skin and health as we age gracefully...
The world we lives in are getting more polluted. On top of that, many conventional
skincare products are hidden with harmful chemicals like Parabens, Sodium Lauryl
Sulphate (SLS), Mineral Oil, Synthetic Fragrances and etc. Such harmful chemicals
can led to premature aging, increased skin sensitivity or cancer.
So, what can we do to protect our skin health? We can choose to apply organic and
natural skincare products. A skincare that is certified natural and organic does not
use chemicals or pesticides that will harm our body.
Look out for these labels - ECOCERT (France), Biogro (New Zealand),
USDA (USA), BDIH (Germany).
At Juneberries Haven, we make sure all our products are free from toxic chemicals
and all of our skincare are certified with those labels. This give consumer a peace
of mind knowing that no harmful chemicals are added into the skincare products.
We believe that each one of us is born beautiful and unique. So, we do not
just source for the best quality product, but most importantly, we find
the perfect one that put a smile on your face, makes you feel sensual,
stylish and confident while embracing aging naturally.
