Xuan Lin is Sick :((

Xuan Lin has fallen sick and all I want for now is to focus on her.

Here's how it goes... She keep sneezing and having runny nose on 20 April (Monday). So i gave her flu medicine and hope she will get well soon. She become very cranky and cannot sleep well. She woke up in the middle of the nite, i gave her milk and change her wet diaper. Thereafter i realise that she developed a fever. So i fed her panadol & flu medicine again. The fever subside in the morning before i goes to work. Ask my mil to monitor and inform me if she feel unwell.

At abt 4plus my mil called me and ask me if i can rush back home immediately. She said xuan lin is feeling abit breathless and wheezing badly. I get worried and faster called hubby which was suppose to come back early in the afternoon. He faster rushed back home and see if xuan lin is alright. I called Dr Ong clinic and was told that is closed for the day, after that i tried calling Spore baby clinic at amk and was told that they are fully booked. No choice last resort is to bring her to tmc as there is a night clinic until 9.30pm.

I rush back home aft work and bring xuan lin to tmc with hubby. The PD said xuan lin is suffering from acute brochities and will lead to asthma if diagnose delay. She asked why did we bring her to see doctor when she alrdy feeling so breathless. Problem is she only started coughing in the afternoon. Dr Ang Ai Tin wants her to admitted immediately. And was given nebuiliser immediatley in the clinic while we hv to do the necessary admission paperwork & payment.

I was told to wait outside the treatment room and all I could do is to stare into the blank wall and hear her painful cries from the room. It’s heartbreaking and terrible to see how she cries and suffer in pain while the doctors and nurses insert the tubes into her. The course of antibiotics started without any delay and Xuan lin was struggling much when the first dose came.

I leave Xuan Lin with my mum & sis when me and hubby went back and packed some clothing, diaper & milk. I will be staying in the hospital with xuan lin.

I just hope she’ll not have to go through all painful procedures again.

I received a voucher from kids coverlook when i request for milk sample from mamil gold. It was a complimentary 1st yr photoshooting. Bought her for the shooting at United Sq on 24 April. After nearly 2mths of wait i received a call from them that the picture is ready for collection.

LNT 1st trail session

I decided to let xuan lin to take up a trail session from little neuro tree. Was being convince by the director Mr Leong to bring xuan lin to POMO previous known as paradize centre. Before that i thought that the tpy branches will be nearer to us. She had her 1st session on the 18 April 09. Total 3 trails lessons given in english, chinese & japanese. She had her 1st english class and did really see her enjoying herself. Hope she will benefit and gain some knowledge from these enrichment classes.

My Precious Princess is officially 1 on 09 April 09

It's a simple & special 1st Bday Celebration

It wasn't easy to organise a party. Somemore mine is only a small one for own family members.

Hubby was on leave for 2 wks. And i m applying leave as well. Had arrange to collect the helium tank on 8april and return it on the 9april aft the event. I went to ICA to collect my new PP that morning. Had schedule my appointment at 9am. I reach there at abt 9.02am and i get a queue no. immed, waited less than 5mins my no. was called. So waiting hr is pretty short for me. Mil need to go back home and prepare some food for the party tonite. So the nite before me and hubby already hang up the giant banner and put up table clothes. While xuan lin doesn't want to take nap at all, think she sense that there is a celebration for her. I finally make her to bed at about 12plus. Me and hb can finally do up the deco. I was very angry when i inflate the 1st piglet balloon. Well the helium come with a nostril and was told to insert the balloon and tail the nostril. Hubby wanted to help me on the very 1st mylar and while pumping half way i sense that we need to stop but hb just dun bother wat i say and keep pulling the nostril and pump. Aloud "bump" there goes my $10 piglet. I guess he really dun knw tail to let the gas in and let go to stop.

Hubby went to return the helium tank at centrepoint while he is on his way to ttsh for review. I sms this rena from cupcakedivinity to send me a pic of the cake at about 3pm before my courier svc pickup from her. Instead of email she mms me. I was pretty upset over the cake as i wanted a pink color rather than the usual green cake :(. I called rena immediately she said need to take 1hr to change to pink. If i insist to change to pink what abt xuan lin name? Will it be pink as well? Then the whole cake will look very pinky which i doesn't want. In the end i can't do anything but to accept it. At abt 3plus my mum and sis carry alot of food over to my plc. HWhile i was bathing xuan lin at 5plus, julie delivered the cake to my door step.

My mum & mil will be cooking. We are all stuff with a lot of good food. Overall, it is a successful one. We did enjoy ourselve.. :)

All about Collages

I have been spending quite sometime using powerpoint to do up the 1st yr collage on Xuan Lin. I tried uploading the collage onto my blog but failed cause i can't convert to jpg file. So i decide to re-do using picasa. Picasa is easy to use and it helps to organise all my photos in the desktop. Difficulties in doing the 1st yr collages is sorting pictures.... :)

A year ago

One year ago...

I was still in Thomas Medical Centre holding my new born baby in my arms.
The feelings of being a new mom is indescribable. Nervous but yet happy!
As new parents we learnt out the nursing part and how to take care of a baby.
~ With her arrival ~
She adds rainbow kind of colorful smiles to our families.
She glow and shine, reflecting all the wonderful things in the world.
She brings warming joys and laughter to us.
She's our precious darling little angel.
We are thankful to the GOD whom had given us the best gift in the world.
