Happy 5th month old, my lil darling ... xoxo

Our precious is 5 months old !! Time flies ya .. :)

I still remember when I was still in my confinement month, where I was pretty stressed up as being a new mother, I really have no idea how to handle him. From feeding to bathing to changing of diaper and even putting him to bed, it was all done by my mom and hubby. My mom kept telling me, “you need to rest!”. So, my job for the entire month was just to pump milk, eat, sleep and the cycle starts all over again.

However, once we reached fullmoon, I immediately trained myself to be hand-on in handling our lil Ivan. And, I improved as day passes.

2 months passed, and I went back to work on 26^th December 2012, while my mom took care of lil Ivan at home. I remembered that I was so reluctant to leave home that morning and automatically, I tears as I said good-bye to him… Thinking back, I can’t believe that I am so emotional. LoL ….

And, day by day passes, our lil Ivan continues to grow and he is such a talkative boy. Every evening, when I am back home after work, I will spend some time talking and sing to him and I am so glad that he will give me positive responses and shows me his excitement, till hubby started to be jealous. He claims that lil Ivan loves mommy more than daddy .. hahaha.

At around 3^rd month, lil Ivan said his first word i.e ‘ang ku’ while we were changing his diaper. Both of us, hubby and myself were so excited and he repeated it for a few times … haha .. Can’t imagine when he starts calling us, mommy and daddy, guess we will be so overjoyed J

Anyhow, he is still not able to turn over by himself yet even at 4^th month. But, if we help him, then he will be able to turn over and push up his own head for some tummy time. No hurries for that as I believe every baby has their own development milestones. So, darling Ivan, take your time and enjoy your unforgettable growing moment.

We just took him for his 2^nd doses of Rotavirus + Pneumococcal jab. According to his paed, his weight and height is above average … *phew* at least it is balance and is not fat fat, short short … hahaha  

Lastly, Happy 5^th month old to you, my precious… xoxo

Happy Birthday to my man !! .. xoxo

It was hubby’s birthday last weekend. As our lil Ivan is still small, therefore, no birthday trip this year. We just have a simple birthday lunch in TGIF, Sunway Pyramid and window shopping after the ‘makan’ session.

Later in the evening, we dropped by to my ex-boss’s house for a small gathering. And, guess what, hubby got surprise as my the other friends aka ‘ji mui’ bought him a birthday cake and sang him song J



Surprised !!!



I have also bought him a shirt from Timberland and glad that he loves it !!

Lastly, happy birthday to you, darling !! May you be in good health, wealth and a good daddy to our lil Ivan J

Lil Ivan's fullmoon ... :-)

One month passes really fast, and we had a simple family lunch to celebrate our lil Ivan’s fullmoon on 17^th Nov 2012. We had it at one of the Chinese restaurant nearby our home, i.e Cheong Wah Seafood restaurant. Besides that, I have also ordered some cupcakes for his fullmoon from White Daisy.



Cute and yummy cupcakes

The special moment when 2 becomes 3 ... :-)

This is such an outdated post. Yes, previous posts were updates on my pregnancy milestone and I have smoothly delivered my little precious at Week 37 (3 weeks earlier than the due) @ 17^th Oct 2012.

Some unforgettable moments during the entire labour to be jotted down before I forget :p

Ø  Didn’t realise water bag has leaked till I woke up for toilet break at 3am.

Ø  Screamed for hubby and started to be panic .. hahaha (thinking back, how silly and funny of me during that moment) .. making hubby so ‘kan cheong’ too

Ø  Immediately, hubby cleaned himself, changed and drove me to the hospital

Ø  Luckily it was at wee hour, that the traffic was good all the way from our house in Puchong to Sunway Medical Centre

Ø  Reached the A&E about 3.30am and I was wheel-chaired to the Labour room at Level 2 of Sunmed

Ø  I was welcomed by a Chinese midwife there and was asked to change to their patient’s ‘uniform’

Ø  Once done, the midwife had a check on me and she told me that I am 2cm dilated.

Ø  She continued her task, putting the contraction belt on me and also monitoring little one’s heartbeat.

Ø  However, she commented that my contraction was pretty weird as in it is not in consistent mode, hence after communicating with my Gynae, I was then augmented (it is just another word for induced) .. haha to expedite the contraction process

Ø  At about 7am, Dr Loo came and the very first thing he asked the midwife, “any pain relief on her? Epidural?”… and midwife answered him, “nothing” …

Ø  Dr Loo then proceeded to examine me and told me that I am already 4cm dilated and will see me again at about 10am

Ø  At around 8am, I started to feel the contraction pain getting bad, hence, requested hubby to call the midwife for pain relief … :p (trying hard not to use epidural)

Ø  I was then given the pain relief and this works perfectly well. I had a good rest for the 2 hours plus as I do not feel any pain at all and it was stress free J

Ø  2 hours passed and at about 10am plus, I started to be awake and the pain was really really uncontrollable till hubby’s hand nearly be the bite victim … haha .. but, he was fast and asked if I would want epidural ? And, as the pain was so unbearable, without thinking much, I said, YES !

Ø  But, it was too late. Midwife told me that you are going to be delivering soon, 1 more cm to go only, ‘tahan’ ok !!

Ø  So, no choice and I just nodded and say, ok !

Ø  About 10.30am, Dr Loo came in and that is the beginning of my ‘pushing’ process and after about 4 rounds, our little precious is out to greet us J

He weighs 2.9kg and 48cm in length J
