17.12.11 - Oldies

Mummy is struggling with confinement... Mummy is perspiring all over and tend to wear lesser but as advised by confinement auntie I should have something over my shoulders when I'm latching... So Daddy went to Chinatown to buy 2 sets of ah ma pajamas for Mummy. *Hearts*

Today Mummy and Daddy is figuring out how to assemble the breast pump to get it working!
Thanks to Daddy and we finally manage to pump out a few drops... Not to waste, Mummy gets Daddy to drink... Hahaha...  hhmmm... but Daddy refused.. so Mummy drink a bit first then "bluff" Daddy to drink! We are surprise that it tastes sweet. See how high he is after drinking. ;P

Today we also moved into aircon room and Mummy felt much comfortable! Baby gave us a sweet little smile today.... love you to bits...

14.12.11 - Home Sweet Home

We are bringing back our little bundle of joy home today! Yeah! Mummy is initially kind of worried about darling's jaundice... but heng we managed to go home together!!!
Daddy rushed to get baby's name early in the morning and will be coming back at ard 11am to bring Mummy and Baby back. Grandma also come to help in case Daddy unable to come back in time. While waiting for Daddy, Mummy also make appt with the sales person for baby foot and hand print... but Mummy is not very happy with her rude attitude so in the end we decided not to get it and DIY ourselves when we get home.

Shortly after we reached home, confinement auntie came and we put baby in confinement auntie room. Mummy keep standing beside playpen looking at baby until confinement auntie said bring baby to Mummy's room first so that Mummy can lie on the bed with baby cot beside. With this Mummy and Daddy decided to have baby sleep with us coz we just can't bear to "part" with him.

This mark the start of our night duty...

13.12.11 - Something Else Other Than Bliss...

Besides the blissful moment of our baby's arrival, Mummy had a terrible time in hospital too.... Looking at the 5-6 months tummy even after delivery.... terrible rashes on the tummy.... Mummy broke down and cried.... Loving Daddy was rushing to guardian to buy all the lotion to ease mummy's itch and another tummy binder which later found out it is too small and Mummy broke down again. So Daddy went to buy another tummy binder from TMC and ask the nurse to come in to help Mummy with the bind.
Mummy later found out Daddy also bought cord spirit for Darling... Darling has never left Daddy's mind... How fortunate are we...

12.12.11 - Missing You....

Today is only the second day and we are missing every bit of our son and very very much looking forward to the time when you were pushed in for feeding or when visitors are here. When darling is not ard, Daddy and Mummy will be thinking whether is it our darling crying next door whenever we heard baby cries. Mummy thought only she is feeling this way but then know poor Daddy is missing baby lots too when Daddy told Mummy late at night that he is thinking of our little darling. *hugs*

11.12.11 - This is THE day!!!

Baby, this is the day we have faithfully looking forward to. To tell you in advance, Mommy and Daddy love you lots!!!

Ard 5+am, Daddy has already woke up and followed by Mommy. We are getting ready mentally and physically in receiving you. 6+am, the nurse came in with Mommy's breakfast and it is a small cup of milo and biscuits! Kao!! (Pardon Mommy as this is the only word that fully describe Mommy's feeling). Mommy is thinking where can this small cup of milo and few pieces of biscuits can fill which part of Mommy's stomach.. oh man... how to push later!!!

At 7+am after breakfast, Mommy and Daddy head to the labour ward....  Mommy was then inserted with many things and on drip... once is for Mommy to pass motion so that we will be cleared of motion during pushing time. After inserted Mommy needs to endure for 15 min?! before going to toilet... but about 7 min... Mommy already rush to the toilet and the nurse commented that high chance later during pushing there will be motion coming out as well as Mommy didnt endure long enough for all motion to clear...  :(   ok next.... I heard Dr Adrian is here to burst the 10 mummies water bag.... once he draw the curtain without a word he just insert his finger into.. erm.. ok.. and then water rush out... it was then Mommy know what he is doing... zzz... there goes my darling's olympic swimming pool...  well Mommy was inserted another pill, drip adjusted and now induce starts!!

During this period, Mommy is dealing well with the contractions... but the midwife keep complaining that baby you are not moving.. and she hit you, shake you and Mommy hurts.  During the first few hours, Mommy is quiet and the rest of other Mummies is groaning with pain and took whatever pain killer they offer... the midwife commented that im in the army coz i can endure the pain well.. Mummy thought without epi should be fine now BUT... later the midwife came again complaining abt your movement and both Daddy and Mummy got to keep shaking you to ensure you are moving and gave Mummy oxygen gas which is meant to make you more active.. the midwife gets a bit frustrated after seeing CTG results and call Dr Adrian to take a look whether it is ok. Dr Adrian confirm it is still ok and so the induce continues.... after 5 hours, contractions came in and tears roll down Mommy's cheek and Mommy got no energy to keep shaking you so Mummy let Daddy to continue to shake. After a while, Mummy is asking for different types of painkillers like the rest of Mummies. Mummy is no commando... =...(  Mummy hurts till one point Mummy wish everything can stop but of course it is not possible... oh... it is possible!!!  hahahahaha that is C-sect with GA!!  Just in time before Mummy sign for epi, Dr Adrian came in and i immediately told him "Dr, I want C-sect with GA". He said "Good. As CTG result is not so good." Yeah off we go... and very shortly... Mummy was knocked out!!!! When Mummy woke up, Mummy vision was very blur but could see and hear nurses walking ard talking and thank god a voice told Mummy op is over and she will push me back to the room to meet Daddy!!

Daddy's story:
Daddy was waiting for Mummy at the waiting area while Mummy is the op theatre, after 30min, Daddy gets worried as baby and Mummy are not out yet therefore Daddy walks to the theatre then saw a nurse waving at him so Daddy just walk towards the nurse and the nurse just point to Daddy "This is your son". Daddy must have felt really touched by this cute little thing at that moment (this is what mummy thinks). Daddy then follow the nurse to measure your weight and height, check your limbs and hands, and not forgetting to ask nurse to take a photo of Daddy and son.
When Mummy is back in the room, Daddy update baby is well and Daddy showed Mummy how you look, your cries, your voice, and commented that our baby is cute!  hehehe..
After a while, baby was pushed in for Mummy to see.
Such an Angel!
Thank you son, for being our son.

10.12.11 - Day to Induce

Tonight 11pm, Mommy and Daddy will be going to hospital to induce so that we can see you tomorrow. Throughout the whole day, mommy and daddy is kind of excited?! or lost?! we just walk here walk there, don't know what to do and time is passing so slowly..... when night comes at ard 9pm, we decided to go prime to have a walk and buy some ice cream to "cool" ourselves down. 10+pm, we call a cab, lug our lugguage and off we go to TMC!!

When we reached, Mommy was asked to do CTG to monitor your heartbeat while Daddy go and do registeration. Above photo is Daddy enjoying his yogurt beside Mummy who is lying down to do CTG.

After CTG, induce pill is inserted and we are going back to our room and will be back in labour ward tomorrow morning 7am.
