United Square with the girls

Audrey passed me her tin of Baby Nat fruit cereal today. She says Andrea dun lk. And must finish in 2 wks. Cuz she alr opened for 2 wks. Wasted. So passed to me. Smells lk Froot Loops.

Cyn got some clothes for Hailey as well. For her full mth gift. LOL! belated! bt i get to pick all her clothes! =D She shared a jar of Island Fruit Jumble with Nigel. Prob a few nibbles only. She abit blur. Hahaha!

2 meals a day!

Hailey has finished her box of brown rice. Pretty fast i wld say, considering she takes in 5tbsp a meal. 1.5 wks was all it took. lol! Now on Oatmeal Cereal (also HT), mom says this is easier to mash and mix. And it seems she prefers this to Brown Rice! She's had apple puree (fresh!) and peach puree (Gerber). Loves apple, cringes at peach. Dunno y. Maybe cuz it's from the jar. Scrapped some honeydew for her as well and she likes it alot!

Will be meeting audrey and cynthia next mon at united square for some Cotton On Kids shopping! Yay! Wed will hv gathering at feb mum's plc! Yay!

Her first tastes

Hailey's been waking up twice a nite nw. Once usually at abt 3am, the other abt 6am. Then her official wake tme at abt 7.30-8am. I'm beat. So i decided tt 3rd Nov 2009 is the day she is gg to have her first cereal feed.



So we sat her on the bouncer and strapped a bib on her. Stirred in some ebm with HT brown rice cereal and mashed away. Was abit too watery in mom's opinion. But i was worried that she couldn't swallow. Anyway, it was a mess and her face wasn't very pretty when she had her first taste. Probably thinks it tastes weird.

Gave her 1 tbsp for taste and she took quite a while. still sucking on the spoon lk it was milk. Then she got fussy. So we moved her to the Bumbo and it was even worse!! She didnt knw hw to swallow! lol! Back to the bouncer and finished up the little bit of cereal. It was a fun experience and this is just the beginning. =D

POPPED!!

21/5
4pm: check up at acj, doc says dilate 2 cm and gt contractions, bt i dun feel much.. ctg shows ok also.. bt doc told me, store emer number into hp, if anything jus admit aft 11 cuz no charge ma.
6 plus: satisfied MOS burger craving and went home slack still no feeling tho abit menses cramp..
10plus: menses cramp stronger and back is super sng till cant sit down or lie down long.
22/5
12plus: reach tmc (since doc say aft 11 is nt charged then might as well lor. in case anything happen)
1 plus: hooked up to ctg again and saw regular contractions w gd intervals too. nurse commented dat i was "having gd contractions". still no pain, jus sore.. aft awhile they checked bt nothing happening. still 3 cm!!
3plus: check again and STILL 3cm! I asked if doc wld drop by (trying my luck) and nurse say ya, in the morning lor abt 8-9plus. I want to faint liao cuz i wanted doc to burst water so i can dilate faster! *getting impatient*
by dawn: super impatient and fed up cuz seems like contractions slowed down or smt.. either i was getting used to the soreness or it really toned down. bt no choice so i LOON!
9.30am: doc finally appeared and checked me!! STILL 3 cm!! she decided to burst bag and put me on drip.
11.30pm: midwife came in, 4-5cm liao!! PAIN but still looning! she also mentioned that my bb is in posterior position dat's y i feel the pain on my back instead of tummy. and also said this kind of labor is usually longer and more painful. by then i already kinda gg nuts. hb very worried and persuaded me to take epi.. which i did in the end.. too painful.. =(
11.45am: EPI lai liao! after awhile it was HEAVEN.. lol! tho i can still feel the pressure of bb pressing down in my pelvis.
2pm: midwife appeared again to check me. was shivering and trembling so much dat i only smsed hb (who went downstairs to meet fren who jus arrived to acc him$) "9cm". immediately he came back and sat ard.

several mins later...

another nurse check ~10cm le!!!
dr khi was called up and so the process begins..

the epi made me puke and damn shivery and trembly.. was quite loopy on it cuz dr also mentioned i was kinda talking nonsense. lol.
one thing quite upsetting was bb's presentation made it harder for her to come out and i cldn't find energy to push le.. so after quite a few pushes, doc use forceps. oh and i rmb the midwife mentioned dat bb heartbeat dropping so must faster get her out also so maybe dat's y they decided to use forceps lo. so sad dat i cldn't do it on my own..

Check up @ 37 weeks

Went for doc visit on Friday.. So exciting cuz doc say gonna do VE and VE is where we find out hw much we dilated and all dat stuff. BB was 2.7+kg so we're safe from induction!! =) VE was freaking painful ok!! Not like the V scan at the very first visit when bb was 6 wks old!! I wanted to ask ah Khi wat she was trying to look for inside.. =/ Anyhoo, she said I was 1.5cm dilated (wonder if she cld feel bb's head) and to jus get ready. All's well so we went back all happy.

And since I'm still typing this post, it obviously means that I'M STILL HERE. Contradictory feelings cuz i WANT bb out soon yet I'm scared of wat's to come. Very very contradictory. Husband's getting all impatient already and I suspect he's considering induction.. which i prefer nt to.. she'll b out when she's ready or i'll induce if there's really a need to.

Tmr's my next visit. Wonder if my cervix dilated more already. Climbed 26 storeys ytd!! Separate occasions la, that is. Bt still alot! And I walked to JP. Hope all these helps. Tonite gonna seduce the husband too. Sex helps to dilate cervix I read and heard. Sigh. I doubt she's coming out so soon. I'm gonna go Sushi Tei for lunch and Macs Flavor Burst for desert tmr to make myself happy.

Things I say to my darling girl

So the tot that I may need to induce has driven me nuts. Jean and Audrey always encourage me to talk to her and I've been doing it regularly ever since the check up. Things I say:

1) Baby, dun eat so much inside, u wanna eat, come out then eat! Placenta processed food not as tasty u knw!

2) Baby, when u come out, mommy buy u Happy Meal and gt toy somemore!! Umbilical cord not as fun as Happy Meal toy!

3) Baby, TAF club = FAT club. girls cannot be fat. girls must be slim n chio n smart. so can get free meals, free branded bags, free rides home and smart enuf nt to get cheated!! they shld nt be TAF club potential!

4) Baby, faster come out naturally so u can wear nice clothes n look pretty not like nw inside the womb all wet and wrinkly!

5) Baby be good, when u come out pls do it quick ok! Mommy and daddy will bring u go Macdonalds eat the choco sundae!! Very delicious!!

I hope she understands. =p

Swim swim!!

Went for swim at Floravale today!! Very sunny very nice!! =) Took pix of my belly again! I love it! The water was nice and cold, the weather was sunny hot hot! And my bikini fits incredibly well!! Must be the boobs and the ass! But the thighs also freaking big. Haha.


My "love" breaky!! Cooked by husband! Scrambled egg with mushroom, ham and sausages!

Baby!! This is daddy!! He will be looking at u in this position when he is carrying u!! Dun need to scared!! His face is like that one!!! Kekekeke!!

Adeline's girl is out!

Took awhile to update this post cuz also waiting for Ade's pix!! Post dated it to the day she popped anyway, which was 28th April if I'm nt wrong... Her girl was 3.2kg and still has no name.

u see this chio bu mommy. lol!!

i like "quan jia fu" photos =)

Baby girl!

Mommy Audrey!! Look here!!

Audrey want to see my bb bag rite?? Here show u some pix!!

Hurrah for the weather!

Today is slightly rainy and cloudy! *happy* can go for my jp walk. Bt gotta get rid of this laziness first. Need to run my errands!!

Ade is in ACJ nw doing her CTG. Somehow had contractions and spotting. Funniest thing is she say "give me 2 more days!!" i told her, ur girl buay tahan wanna come out and play liao! I wonder when's my turn.. scared but excited. hahs.

Got a msg from Louise. Sarah's gg home today frm her jaundice treatment. She says her hb collapse liao. I told her her sms made me really scared! But kinda on the pt of no return so.. Hopefully my girl decides to come out on Friday! Dun ask me why I jus like it dat way. =)

My body parts

This is a picture of my feet when it's swollen. It doesn't look too bad but in case it gets worse, I want to remember that it's nvr been THAT swollen before!



Also, pixes of my belly at 35wks!!! Went for scan and doc says that bb could be a bit big for me to deliver at full term. Wants me to consider popping earlier. I-N-D-U-C-E. *gasp*

My weight increased 400gm, and the little one, 700gm!!!!!! Whr the heck she managed to absorb 700gm from me!!!! Pengz. Now she is 2.5kg @ 35 kg. Today was the first time I felt like being bigger sized is much better. So, next visit at 37 wks, doc will tell me if she needs to be induced. =/ *cross fingers*

Mt A popcorn party

Went to Mt A on Saturday to visit Louise and brought the husband to see Cynthia too. Nigel was crying his head off but still cute la. =) Then went over to Louise and saw her little Sarah... Sooooooo cute!!!!!!!!!! Nose and lips like ah Lo. About epidural, she said to me: The pain is not for humans. Hahaha!!! Apparently, Flommy and Okipoki also popped that day so we went over to see them as well. 4 mommies in visited in a day. 3 same bird day somemore. And they all staying same level, their babies all in same nursery. Can have a mini party liao. =)

Check up @ wk 35

Agnes, Louise and me check up on same day but different timing. Will see wat happens to Louise. She's supposed to be induced today cuz J wong scared her bb too big for her size.

When I got there, she was doing CTG.. But managed to see her cuz today Ah Khi wait time very slow. Haha. So anyway, J Wong told her to come back on Monday and check whether she's ok to be induced on that day instead.

Ah Khi told me my BH still safe zone. No pain = no rush. BB girl's now at 2.5kg. WTH. I'm at 53.8kg. Basically, I gained 400gm and she gained 700gm!! OMG!! 700gm in 3 wks is not funny lor! Ah Khi also told me that bb grew quite abit and estimated tt full term cld be 3.5kg!! Wah lau!! Anyhoo, she said "well, by 37wks ur in the safest zone already so if bb wt is too much, u can choose to deliver earlier." Means induce liao lor. But my dear girl's head nt engaged yet. And prob not low at all, tho head is down already. I scared nt engaged, nt dilated = C SECT! *faints* Probably scaring myself but how to not be scared!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Same situation as Louise liao!!

BUT................

At 8 plus, I suddenly got an sms!! Louise's water broke!!!! She went Uniqlo and then dunno wat happened then water broke!! Fated la. Hahahah!! Will go with husband to visit her at Mt A tmr. =) Now gotta go to in-laws's place. Later gg to meet the JW mommies from forum!!

Welcome to Nigel!!!

Alot of girls are popping babies on the May thread these 2 weeks. Some at 34/35 weeks. I wonder when's my turn.. Still far la.. End May edd...

Cyn's c sect is scheduled at 5.30am today and she went in at midnite last nite. Nigel officially popped on the 22nd April!!! Hahaha!! Went to visit her at Mt A. Apparently, Adeline is also dilated!! 1cm!! And J wong told her that her girl is very low now. I think she better stay away from stairs and refrain from walking too much. On the other hand, I should probably do more walking and stair climbing!!! If not for faster engagement and easier delivery, it also builds stamina to PUSH!

Another hang out day

Woke up with cramps in the morning!! 7am start till 12 then stop. Pooped 3 bloody times!! Duno wat the heck. Decided to call Ah Khi but think she quite bz so the nurses say will call me back. 2.30pm then call. Wah lau. U knw wat's so lame, I went to pooped. Without my phone. Which is quite seldom case. Missed her call then when I called back, they dun answer already cuz it's off working hrs. Saturday ma. Du lan. Anyway, msged Bev and told her meet later abt 5.. Which was gd, gave me time to slack n rest. Husband and his work mates went for "Citi Car Rally". End abt 6-7 so meet them in town aft dat.

Met Bev and went to Food Republic for some Hokkien Mee!! *yums* Bumped into mom there. Haha! When we met up with the rest they also wanna eat so went MOS burger. Then nothing to do, all went to Kelvin's place to pick up our car the go to Villa Bali. Bev brought her polaroid cam she bought from Japan. It's damn cute lor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! $90 if bought in Japan and full white. In Sg it's $149 with pink/blue color pattern thingy. The film is very cute too!!!!
