Unprepared!

Was eagerly counting dwn to theday when I will be able to c BB. However, was totally unprepared for the crying, nite feeds etc... Now that he's out of me, I kind of miss him being in me. I miss his kicks, his stretching, his shifting and wriggling ard. Still trying to adjust to motherhood... Hopefully things will get better from now on.

Post Natal Massage

Today is the 4th day of my massage by Mdm Naini. She's real strong, the massage @ my tummy area is damn painful but will bear wif it 4 vanity sake... Can c that her massage is pretty effective in reducing the tummy bulge but hmm... will everything go back to normal. "Keeping my fingers & toes crossed"
Haiz... dunno wat to do wif all e excess weight. Put on a grand total of 20kg for the pregnancy, only managed to lose 8kg, still hav 12kg more to go... HOW?????

Cranky Baby!

Last nite was terrible, BB Kayden din sleep well through the nite, kept waking up hungry. Was already feeding him 80ml but he still woke up every 2 hrs. I was exhausted having to take care of him myself and coaxing him to sleep cos cant possibly keep stuffing him wif milk rite?
His tantrums lasted till this morning aft his shower. Finally put him to sleep aft his 10am feed. Hopefully, he will be able to sleep peacefully.

Abandoned!!!

Today is the 16th day of my confinement... Already getting veri frustrated as I'm damn bored. Can't wait for everything to end. 2 weeks more..."Lun!"
Daddy Collin has gone for his friend's bachelor gathering. So I'm left @ home wif BB., lucky BB Kayden has decided to be an angel today.

My Humble Beginnings!

My mummy has finally scanned all my ultrasound shots. (Kudos to her... if it's my daddy, think all of u will nd to wait much longer!!!) Let me give u a tour ard my home for the past few months & how I develop fr a grain of rice to my final grand total of 2.72kg!
Unfortunately, they r all not in the correct sequence cos mummy hasn't learnt how 2 rearrange them properly (but we shall nt blame her...). Let's give her some time, meanwhile, u guys r welcome to take a look & make sense of wat my mummy has uploaded!!! Enjoy

My Birth Story!

13th October 2006

Morning: Still discussing wif daddy collin how I shld go 4 my medical appt. Finally decided to
send him 2 work then I drive myself 2 e hospital for my appt. Was still saying I wanna bring e car for a wash aft my appt before going home. Come to think of it, I actually drove till e
day I gave birth... ha ha Totally unprepared for wat was 2 come...

10.45am: 38 weeks medical appt wif Dr Ho (doing CTG).
Strapped to CTG machine for almost 45 mins to monitor BB's heartbeat & my
contractions.

11.30am: Went in for consultation wif Dr Ho, he told me that BB's heartbeat on e high side,
might hav complications. He advised me to take e BB out since already full term. Well,
I said ok, even ask him which day he wants to do it. Imagine my expression when he
said asap - as in immediately!!! He told me to check myself in to the hospital immediately.

12pm: Went to the delivery suite @ MAH. Requested 4 epidural as planned. Was glad 2 get
Dr Dicky Tay, he was damn good & made e whole epidural experience pleasant. Tried to
contact Daddy but he din pick up his phone. Sms him to bring my stuff 2 e hospital.
Finally got him ard 1+, ha ha... can't imagine his face when he realises that this was gonna
b it.

2pm : Dr Ho came to break my water bag. Check my dilation, was 1.5cm dilated.

5pm: Dr Ho came to check. Dilation was @ 4cm

7pm: Dr Ho came to check. Dilation was @ 8cm.

9pm +: Fully dilated, told 2 start pushing but unfortunately, I was too numb from e waist down.
Tried pushing but no effect. Meanwhile, BB's heartbeat started going up & down so I
was given oxygen. Dr Ho decided to vacuum the BB out. Set up equipment, BB was
vacuum out in less than 2 mins.

10pm +: Finally, BB Kayden announced his arrival by wailing his lungs out!!!

12am: Send to ward while BB was send for cleaning.

It's So Surreal!

Baby Kayden is exactly 15 days old today. Can't believe he's already out of my tummy! It was veri tough @ e beginning cos BB was on US timing - sleeps in the day, eyes big big @ nite. Luckily, he is slowly adapting 2 our local time though sleep is still a luxury for me these days. Trying to upload his ultrasound shots to e blog, will do it once I learn how to.

My Personal Roller Coaster!

Snap shot of my daddy's ride. Even though he claims that my mummy is more important, I think I know better... Rides, it's a man's thing!

Solving The A.J Mystery!

After hearing the name for 9 mths, I finally found out what A.J means. It's a little doggy that isn't as friendly as it looks. Anyway, we r gonna b buddies since I'm born in the year of the dog!!!

The Way Things Were!

My daddy & mummy before I decided to join them. Dun think they wan ppl to look @ them now especially my mummy who keeps grumbling abt her weight gain!!!
I think she swore off taking pixs ever since she developed a balloon in front of her (courtesy of yours truly!)
Ha Ha... Women! Can't live wif them, can't live w/o them!

Home @ Last!

Being in my daddy's car is juz like being on a roller coaster except, it's much jerkier. Luckily, I've received ample training during the past few mths when I was hiding in my mummy.
Phew! So glad to be home. Let me enjoy my beauty sleep 1st. Think I'll start my torture tonight...

Baby Kayden

Yeah, that's me. I must admit, looking like this sure beats the 'womb' look.
I bet the chicks dig this 'pretend to be an angel' look.
Well, @ least my daddy & mummy fell for it. Ha Ha
...WAIT till I go home...

Greetings!

Greetings, my fella earthlings!!! Kindly excuse my unkempt look, this is the latest 'trend' for us in the womb.

Pls wait a moment while I go clean myself up... Oops! I forgot, I need help wif that. Can't do anything for myself at the moment... Wah Wah Wah!

Panic Button!

Mummy Rita finally popped on e ominous Friday 13/10/2006 after enjoying her Macdonald's Big Breakfast!
Daddy Collin was @ the labour suite the whole time. Both of us went w/o food the entire day. Baby Kayden took his own sweet time and decided to announce his arrival aft a 9 hour labour... Hmm... daddy & mummy were wondering who this screaming, wrinkly thing is!!!
