Full Month Celebration

Been busy with my little one. Wanted to TBF my darling as long as i can. It has been a sleepless nite for me eversince my princess was born. I have to wake up every 2-3 hrs to latch on. Luckily with the help of my mil taking care of bb and doing confinement for me. At the same time i also started my post-natal massage on the following Monday 14 April for 10 sessions $600. Not cheap but hope to see result.

Naming for our princess, hubby decided to go Hua Xia Tai Mo Bi to let master to decide which character is best for her...we are given 5 best name and more then 10 single character to mix and match. After the discussion with my hubby our final choice is 陳宣霖 (Chen Xuan Lin). Following will be choosing a good day for daddy to go ICA to submit document for birth certificate.

We decide to hold a full month celebration only for relative on 04 May 08. As for fren and colleague we ordered full month package from chOz confectionery. As buffet we only tried Neo Garden on our AD and feedback from fren and relative was quite good so will cater from them again.

Home Sweet Home

After 3days 2Nite stayed at tmc really missed my simmons bed. Finally we can bring our princess back home today. BB got mild jaundice and her blood group is AB+. But not to worry paediatric advise just need to sunbath everyday under the sun for 10-15mins.

Arrival of my little princess

It was a right choice to go back home and sleep last nite. Daddy and mummy decided to go back to tmc in the morning. Did a check and was still 3cm dilated. Mummy was push to labour ward and wait for Dr Wong. Dr Wong came in and burst the waterbag and mummy was put on drip to at about 9 plus.

At about 10.30am mummy start to feel the contraction. Nurses came in and ask if wan any pain relieve and mummy insist NO EPI...

11 plus contraction become more regular....start to use breathing method. Breath in, breath out....

12 plus contraction become more and more intense like every 15mins interval. Ask for laughing gas to relieve some pain.

1 plus the pain is unbearable anymore. Luckily daddy is very supportive. He stays beside me and keep asking me to relax breath in and out. Nurses came in and check finally cervix open till 8-9cm. I can't take it anymore got the urge to push bb out already. Can really feel bb is very low. Dr Wong came in and ask mummy to prepare and get ready to push. After about more than 8 push my little princess has arrive at 1356hrs weighing 2.91cm and height 46cm.

A sign of signal

On 8 April 2008, as usual mummy go to work in the morning. She went to the toilet at about 9 plus and found that there is some mucus plug and shows on her panties. She is so worry and faster go back to her desk to make a call to the clinic and check if she in labour. Nurse ask me to monitor for regular contraction. But at that time my contraction is not regular. Colleagues wants mummy to go back home in case anything happen. So i called daddy to inform him... mummy went back home and wait for daddy to rush back home.

Then we started to record the interval and hw long is the contraction last. Still irregular until 8 plus in the evening. We decide to go tmc instead, reach there at abt 9 plus was put on CTG and nurses did a cervix check it was 3cm dilated. Daddy told mummy that if we admit on that day is consider 1 day only if we admit after 11pm is consider the next day. After some discussion with daddy we decided to go back home that nite.

Monthly Checkup on 4 April 2008

Mummy apply half day afternoon leave for checkup. So nervous and scare cos Dr Wong told mummy she is going to do a cervix check for her =(... Kaiting ah yi waited mummy at the bus stop outside tmc. My appointment is at 2pm. Weight increase to 62.7 kg on week 37. Dr Wong told mummy next appt is 1 wk ltr and my cervix has already dilate 1 cm at that time. She suspect should be going to labour this 1 or 2wk. Tentatively next appt schedule on 11 April for CTG.

Detailed scan on 14Dec

Finally today is my detailed scan. Was on 1 day leave and hb working 12hrs nite shift tonight. Woke up around 8 plus. Intend to go novena sq for breakfast but dilly dally until 9 plus, so in the end only go and eat bak chor mee along balestier rd before headed to tmc. My appointment for detailed scan was 10.30am and after that got to see Dr Adelina Wong for my monthly checkup at 11.30am.

We reached tmc at about 10am and went to apply FBI card. The card entitled 10% discount on fetal assessment, saving on total hospital bill upon delivery, parentcraft & etc. See link for more info http://www.thomsonmedical.com.sg/facilities.htm#firstborn. The cards take 2weeks to process and will mail it to us. Luckily we are given a temporary receipt.

Aft apply the card Mummy decided to sign up the Childbirth Education Courses. Total 6 lessons will be starting on Jan'08 every friday 7-9pm. Hopefully daddy can accompany me for all the lessons...cos he will be away to HTA for 9months. After the discount we paid $163.71 for the lessons.

Went for detailed scan at level 4. Waited for almost half an hour before my turn. So worried that we will be late for checkup. Luckily the whole process only took about 30mins. Results turn out well. BB is healthy, active and weight at about 407grams. IT'S A PRINCESS....... Finally can rest our mind. My total weight gain till now is 4.8kgs.

Mummy saw this Diaper holder and decided to order from the BP. Because realised that really got no table to place baby wipes, diaper, powder & etc. So this holder actually can hang on bb cot and it is so convenience neat and easy for mummy to do changing.
