Some Moments with Daddy

My Daddy is a funny man! Mummy always say that he is very long winded and loves repeating himself. But I like him cos babies like repetitive stuff so he suits me fine heehee

Here are some moments that I have with my Daddy.

The first time I looked at him into his small eyes!

Daddy's first attempt to burp me

Success? Never! (Dun be fooled by the photo)

Where is my Umbilical Cord?

Daddy was playing with me until Mummy said:'Whats that brown plastic looking like thing there on the bed?'

Then she flipped up my shirt and exclaimed: 'It's his umbilical cord!! It has finally dropped out.'

She was so excited that she quickly took an ang-bao to keep the umbilical cord and of cos snap photos of ME with my dropped out umbilical cord.

Home Sweet Home!!

Finally I am going home today! Dr Tan said that my Jaundice has dropped to 5.8 and hopefully it remains that way!!

Mummy was so happy that she kept hugging me on the car!

I was so sleepy when I reach home that I just continued to zzz lots. Mummy and Ma-Ma thought that I was well-trained by the nurses but they are wrong hiak hiak - I am just resting so that I can create havok in future

My Fav Pose

Jaundice strike!!!

Today is my one-week old assessment at Dr Terence Tan clinic.

Mummy looked worried when everyone in the clinic came over to tell her :'Your baby is very yellowish' and when Dr Tan told her that they would need to do a blood test for me, she was even more worried.

At the clinic, the nurse strapped my ankle and prick my toe! It was so painful that I screamed until I couldnt hear myself. Mummy quickly carried me and pat me. I am so angry with her, how could she let the nurse prick me!!

We waited for an hour and finally the blood test result were out!! Dr Tan said that my jaundice level was 15.8 so he wants to admit me to the hospital immediately. Mummy and Daddy discussed and agreed as they want my jaundice level to go down ASAP.

I was admitted to St Gabriel Ward and the nurse just strip me (again!!), wear an eye mask for me and put me under blue light.

Mummy and Daddy come to visit me twice a day and Mummy always hold me in her arms and say:'Drink more milk ok, then you will recover faster' , 'Be a good boy, mummy will come back to fetch you home' I think Mummy cried cos I could feel some droplets falling on my face. I miss her too!!

Also I am very sleepy so whenever Mummy give me her milk, it feels so comfortable that I always fall asleep easily. So in the end, Mummy told the nurse to feed me whatever milk that she could express or formula milk (if she is not around) as they do not want to be interuppting my time under the blue light.

So here is my virgin-bottle heehee

I miss home!!

I luv Mummy, I luv Daddy

My mummy loves me so much that she make me pose with the mittens which 'declare' my luv for them (how lame!)

See how small I am, even the mitten looked bigger then my face!

My daddy rush home every night so that he can spend some time with me ... I luv my daddy too!!

But my mummy was getting worried cos I was getting more and more yellow each day - she say that I might be having jaundice.

So my ma-ma started to sun me every morning, she strip me until I am left with just the diaper and leave me out in the sun. Well whatever lar ... I just want to zzz

Back @ Ma-ma Place

Finally home sweet home!!

The first photo that mummy took of me in my tiny winnie little PINK cot ... my mum said that it has been passed down from my uncle's generation (hey dun get it wrong ... my uncle is only 5YO!!) ... but the cot looked so huge when I was put in cos I was really tiny

As dengue was on a raise, mummy send daddy to buy a mosquito net from kiddy palace and it cost him $39.90!! *heartache* but my mummy only wanted the best for me! My daddy is the super stingy type one hiak hiak

See the pink pillow on me? Thats hand-made my ma-ma with the 'dou-ya ke'. She collected them from the aunty in the market, sun them and then sew it into pillow for me. She made FIVE!!

My mummy say that its to make me feel safe and secure just like how I feel when I was in her tummy.

I feel so loved!

My Stay @ Mt A

Boy ... it was hard work getting out from mummy's tummy ... so tiring *yawn*

Mummy was SO SO SO happy after giving birth that she just kept SMSing everyone about my arrival!

The one and only photo of me awake hee hee

This is her fav photo of me cos she say that I look like I am digging my nose

My Hospital Card

The nurse put me with many other babies in the nursery. I am one of the smallest baby there but I am the loudest hahahaha

I see mummy whenever the nurse thinks that I am hungry. Mummy tries to feed me milk but its so difficult to drink, esp when everything is so dark & blur. I just open my mouth as BIG as possible hoping that mummy will position me correctly. But mummy is so bad at it that I always end up going back to the nursery hungry. Anyway I am so sleepy ...

Arrival of the Terror

10 Sept @ 1pm
PONG, HU, BAO ... mummy & daddy must be playing MJ again!!

Mummy was telling Uncle Han Beng that it would be the last game for her cos she will be giving birth in a few days time ... hmmm so does that mean that I should be getting myself ready to meet them?

Mummy said that tomorrow is Sept 11 ... if I am born on that day ... I am really a true blue terror ... and that sounds like a REAL COOL IDEA ...

I luv the sound of MJ *YAWN*

Ouch ouch ... how come my mummy is making so much noise? Very painful mer? Aiya she is so hard to please ... on one hand want to see me early then dun wan the pain lar ... dun care me just wan to come out and be a 9-11 bb!!

Heard mummy telling daddy that the contraction interval is about 5mins apart ... she decided to zzz and see if the pain will go off.

11 Sept @ 2am
Mummy decided that enough is enough ... she told daddy that she wants to go to Mt A cos she thinks that I am making my way out ... mummy is the smartest heehee

On the way to Mt A, mummy was telling daddy that she is taking the epidural and no one was to stop her hahaha

11 Sept @ 3am
The nurse admitted us and she said that mummy was already 3cm dilated ... hey not bad ar ... I just gotta push harder and I will be out soon!

Mummy had epidural so she felt alright but she was SUPER HUNGRY!! Me too ...

11 Sept @ 7am

11 Sept @ 8.10am
Hey ... I am almost there!! Mummy was telling the nurse that she wants to go toilet cos she wants to poo ... what a stupid mummy!! She think that I am a poo!!

The nurse asked mummy to call daddy back quickly so that he can welcome me heehee

Fun Time @ Mummy's Tummy

The 40-week stay in mummy's tummy was FUN!!!

After recovering from her shock (after 36hrs), she quickly got an appointment with Dr Henry Cheng to check if I was REALLY there (she was hoping that those funny kit made a mistake). Thanks to the fantastic equipment (not 3D or 4D but good decent equipment) they managed to catch sight of me ... my daddy said that I look like a star in the galaxy.

And from that day onwards, I have NEVER failed to remind my mummy that I am around heehee ("p)

I hate drinking plain water ... so mummy had no choice but to drink coke (with salt), 100plus, H2O, orangina behind my grandma's back. Her fav drink was the COLD home-made ice lemon tea from the S11 coffee shop!

I hate oily, spicy stuff ... so mummy will get daddy to tar bao her fav vege rice back from the coffee shop. I luv to eat steam egg ... yummy!!

I hate to have my meals late ... so mummy will need to take her meal on time if not I will kick up a big fuss in the tummy ... I HATE to be hungry!!!

I love spitting food out ... esp food that I dislike, to name a few curry, milk, oily food etc ... to put it simply ... I am a very fussy eater for the 40-weeks.

I hate people to talk about me ... so the more they talk about me ... the more I will prove them wrong heehee so my mummy was always afraid of saying the 'wrong' thing. She always tell people that she has a 'pan-tang' bb

Though I let my mummy 'suffer' lots ... she still loves me and draw strength from seeing me grow healthily inside her. She loves to see the candid shots that Dr Cheng takes of me.

She was always asking Dr Cheng if I would be out before the 40 weeks and the answer was NO ... she kept telling me to come out earlier as she kept saying that this was the most terrible period of her life. I wonder why? I am just abit fussier with my meals thats all.

I luv her tummy ... its so dark, safe, secure and best of all ... I can be with her ALL the time.

Then again, I am eager to meet my daddy (whom I keep hearing his voice & he loves singing some obiang chinese songs to me when I am trying to zzz), grannies, grandpa, aunties & uncles. But I know the best time to come out and thats what Dr Cheng told my mummy too ... so all she could do was to wait & wait & wait ... ...
