Goodbye 2005.....

Time really flies. Tomorrow mark the new beginning of 2006. Looking back, this year has been a very different year to me and this family. A year full of ups and downs and of course to welcome our beloved Jeremy into this world before kissing goodbye to 2005.

Red Eggs

In laws wanted to celebrate Jeremy's full month (according to chinese lunar calendar)few days earlier. Here's the cake and red eggs nicely prepared by in laws. We had a small feast at home & some photo taking sessions with Jeremy before ending the night.

Coincidently, Jamie's exactly 29th month old today! Double happiness...

White Christmas

This year Christmas is indeed special. Special becos this month we have Jeremy to be with us during this festive. Here's something to enjoy.....

Ho...ho...ho..... Merry Christmas!!

Full Month Celebration

We have finally settled the venue at Chevrons whereby I have booked a chalet cum catering. One task down, phew!!

Growing Up

Ever since the birth of her little brother, Jamie already exercised her "big sister" love towards Jeremy. One particular night, she was seen helping the confinement lady to pick up Jeremy's soiled diaper automatically out of the bedroom! Other days, I witnessed her carressing her baby brother's feet, saying "Good Night" to him. It's so heartwarming and assuring...and for now, I dun have to worry about sibling rivary yet. Hope it will never happen.

Sick Bug

Jamie has been coughing since the day we came home from hospital. And her cough has deteriorated till she's now on nebuliser and oral medicine. Just hope that she will recuperate before this coming Christmas seasons. And her papa also has been coughing on and off... haiz...

Slimming Programme ?

I remembered vividly that I put on average 10kg (pre preg weight was ard 47kg) a day prior the operation. Then I was standing at 54.8kg 2 days after giving birth. And shortly 2 weeks later (16/12) when I returned back for my gynae checkup, I dropped another 3kg!!

Wow, now I'm at 51.8kg!! I couldn't comprehend why I lost so much weight just within 2 weeks when I'm eating well ? My confinement lady ensures that I eat lotsa rice, fish, vegetable, herbal soup and fruits daily. However despite all these, I'm really amazed at my speedy weight lost!! Friends who visited me couldn't believe that I have just given birth ! lol!!

Jamie vs Elmo

Was browsing through Jeremy's pixs and found this photo taken at the hospital on the 3rd day after Jeremy's birth. The Elmo was the welcome gift from Jeremy. And I realised that I missed Jamie so much so that when I saw her at the hospital, I couldn't stop talking and hugging her.

Welcome Jeremy!

Finally back from hospital on Tues after staying for another night so that I can breastfeed Jeremy since he's on photo therapy.

Now that a week has passed, I have yet to settle down as now with Jamie & Jeremy, it's a whole new task for me to adapt before my confinement lady leaves in another 3 weeks time. And while I'm trying to cope with breastfeeding Jeremy, catching up some rest becomes a challenge for me! My routine basically goes around breasfeeding, expressing breastmilk while yet trying to spend some quiet time with Jamie. Not to mention about stealing some time off to rest and recuperate. It has been a rather tough week for me indeed. And of course logging on to the internet has now become so difficult for me. Basically no time ..

Its THE TIME

Just came home from my regular gynae checkup... dunno if its consider good or bad news. Well, I will be giving birth tomorrow at 38.5 weeks (as baby doesn't seem to put on weight for the past 1 week). Initially Gynae assured us that I will be scheduled tmr to be induce and able to give birth naturally. However, after doing a routine cervix check on me, she has to do a caesarian instead as my cervix is not ready yet and there'll be a chance that my previous c-section wounds may rupture due to the long labour process. Well, hence we have decided to opt for epidural c-section instead of GA so that CQ can be around to witness the birth of our son !

If you ask me, how would I feel about 2nd c-section ?

Mmm... well... probably this time is an elective caesarian, which means time is on my side and I will be well prepared for it. Having enough time to ensure that Jamie is well taken care of etc etc... rather than a sudden labor pain with all the commotion and panicky. And worst of all, I am unsure how I'm going to cope this while at home or outside with Jamie!!

Now, I only hope that I can recover the soonest so that Jamie will not be too much affected by my "immobility". Haha.... and of course, we can celebrate Christmas at home too, yea!!
