get me water now
November 24, 2015 • 14 comments • 5037 viewsWe were rushing to go out and I was running really late that Dean was getting annoyed. I got everything for the kids except the last thing; gotta make milk for Mariam! Arghhh no time, I can hear Dean shouting for me from the house entrance. Ok never mind, just grab the empty bottle, the formula powder and run out the door.
True enough, not even 5 minutes into the car ride, Mariam woke up from her nap in my arms. And what does she want? Milk of course!
I was panicking because the restaurant was about half hour away, and I only had powder in the car. Whyyyyyy did I stop breastfeeding whyyyyyyyy, I wanted to kick myself (Of course I had too much pain that I had to stop, not because I simply wanted to). Back then with Daniel, lift up top, silence. Flashbacks of those easier moments did not help out situation in the car.
I was singing to her, dancing her around, peekaboo-ing her, but nothing made her stop crying. And she’s such a good baby that she really doesn’t cry unless she’s realllyyyyy hungry. I felt so bad. All our ears went numb in the car! I totes get it though, I mean, when you’re hungry, you’re hungry ok.
As soon as we got to the hotel lobby, we literally ran to the restaurant where I asked for water so I could make her milk asap. Oh, did they take their time. Stop saying “Certainly, ma’am,” with your nice straight posture, just get me my daughter’s water!!! It came and I sighed of relief. Touched the glass, guess what. It was cold water. -____-“ My mistake for not clarifying, warm water. Finally we got it and I don’t think I’ve ever made milk that fast.
Mariam drank the milk so fast that I even heard her sigh.
Poor girl, seriously!
See how this drama would all have avoided if I could just breastfeed? Mannnn, if you are perfectly capable of breastfeeding without pain or complications, I would highly recommend it. For your sanity and other people in the restaurant’s sanity. *covers face*

Mommy loves you, baby girl! Sorry I kept you hungry!
Hehe kesian Mariam. Btw Vy pleaseeee don’t use “totes” in your blog. It downgrades the quality of the writing style cos the slang does not fit your style at all. If you write like Man Repeller, then I’d understand. I was a bit shocked when I came to that sentence haha. Have a great day Vy!
Please wear your seat belt and also ensure your kids are in their car seats. No amount of money can turn back time if anything unforeseen were to happen. Cheers
^What are you talking about ?? It fits her style perfectly. Anyway, it’s her blog. It’s informal. She can say whatever she wants to say.
I didn’t even realise the ‘totes’ thing until this Zara person pointed it out. Was focusing on Mariam the whole time haha
Next time get your kids things prepared first before u get ready ok? 🙂
We are in the same boat that we don’t want to! 🙁
Emm, OOT. I think you owe us the story of your new house. Tehee. Can’t wait to get inspired by that 😉 Well you should know, I (we) really wanted to see how your wardrobe, shoe rack (full view) and your happy place looks like. And all actually 😀
Its her blog zara, she can write however she wants to write and we dont need to dictate her
all breastfeeding mum go through pain at the initial stage. nipple pain, engorgement, blocked duct, low supply yada yada. but i guess u did ur level best. maybe for the next baby u can try again… cheers
Zara i was shocked when i saw totes too. Hehe nevertheless love U vivy
and here i am googling “what totes means”…theeeheehe
Sorry if anyone was offended, really it was an honest comment coming from a fellow reader. Vivy can take or discard the comment if she wants, cheers.
after googling..now i know. hihi..
totes = totally.
Hi Vy, what i normally do if im in such desperate situation was to stop at any petrol station. Get the hot water fr their water dispenser ( normally for coffee n maggi) n grab a mineral water, mix it, u get worm water n the milk is ready. Dont need to wait for half n hour to reach the destination. Any petrol station should have the dispenser
Zara, totes is a bag hahaha
Whatever la…its her blog…i see people doing this everyday..dont say that, dont say this, dont do that, dont do this to other people…wondering if the person saying like this is even perfect, guess what? No one purrrrrrfect . So guess which person is more degrading?
Completely agree with zara. Totes doesn’t suits her . She’s far classier and chic !!! X
