I am Growing!!!

Jamie took this photo for us. See how fast Joshua is growing???

Josh & Mama

He is 3 weeks old today. Joshua has grown quite alot since birth.

This is his cozy corner in our bedroom.

Flash Card Session

I've started Josh on b/w flash cards since he's about 5days old .Kiasu?? Hahaha..this is the difference between 1st time mummy and mummy of 3 kiddos. You just get better after homeschooling your #1 and #2, knowing what is best for them.

1 Week Checkup

Brought Joshua back to RH for his 1 week checkup + testing of his jaundice level since he's already 7 days old by now. Praise the Lord that he's tested at 9.6 which is within the acceptable level (beyong 17 will need to be admit and be treated). And he has put on 400g++ of weight in just a week's time!! Here's Josh's photo taken in hospital.

Thank You Card

Did this card for my gynae this week as a gesture of thanking her for our 3 children who were delivered by her. She isn't the best gynae but she is a very careful & decisive lady who doesn't take high risks neither on me nor the baby.

2nd Day w/o Confinement Lady

For some reasons, we have decided to release the newly engaged confinement lady who has worked for us for 2 full days. Thank God for the smooth transition and so far, I am coping well even w/o her! Our maid has been a great helper and after some instructions given, she is able to cook nice, simple confinement food for me. Here, today is my 1st time bathing a newborn (since both Jamie & Jeremy were taken care of by a CL previously). See how fresh & relaxed Joshua is?

Baby Joshua Has Arrived on 5th August !!

Thank God for a very smooth & wonderful experience for CQ & I though its an elective caesarean. Both of us got to hold our newborn for the longest time we were ever allowed. Saw how "raw" Joshua was when he was born. And for myself, I had a smooth and almost painless opn, (except the prinking of needle into my outer palm and the epidural's insertion which was bearable though). I'm recovering very well and today into the 5th day after giving birth, I am already easily walking around and get back to normal routine! And I thank God for protecting Joshua too who was born wif 100% pink of health! He was such an alert newborn & could already turned and looked at my direction when i called him! Amazing!

Sweetie Pie

This was Jamie when she was born at Raffles Hospital 3:33pm.

Jamie is 6!!

Today is Jamie turning 6 finally! Big girl liao.. Above is the pix she took w principal, Mrs Patricia Lin. She has grown so much... thank God that we are able to celebrate her every little milestones wif pride. Today, the class sang her bday song in bilingual and Ms Yew asked all her classmates (in small groups) to take pixs wif her. I also had prepared goody bags for each and every of her little frens. Surely this wonderful memory will be wif Jamie even after she graduates from the kindergarten this year.

CMA Abacus

Since Jamie has started twice weekly at CMA, she has made good progress and is enjoying learning at the center. Just last Friday, she was presented this laminated A4 birthday card from Kelly jie-jie !

Scrapbooking Project - Fund Raising for Charmaine

Below are two simple 12"x12" layouts a wonderful mummy had done up within a very short notice for Jamie's party 100% of the proceeds went to support Charmaine for her hefty cancer treatment.

Birthday Party @ Home

This is our 1st official party at our new house.... click here to view Jamie's 6th birthday party photos.

Now is the time.....

Cannot believe next Monday I will be joining hundreds of thousands of parents to queue up for Primary 1 registration!!! Mixed feeling.... our Jamie has grown up! She is about to go to the so-called "Big Kor Kor-Big Jie Jie" school! Quite relunctant to let her go though I know its part of life. Kids will leave us one day, sooner or later. I tell myself, I juz have to learn to let go and cherish her more each day.

Our Missy

Did a 3hrs+ kit for Jamie yday wif a fren who came along to my place. Scrapztudio offered to give us so-called free coaching but I find it not very educational as she herself is not expert in coaching as what I feel. Nevertheless, based on my past experiences wif such coaching, I managed to do up the front/back w the pages inside (no photos yet) , utilising as much of her tools as possible so that I can complete the insides pages wif minimal stress (hopefully)!

Blessed Birthday Papa!

Every year this time, while billions of Americans are toasting beers w cheers to celebration Independence Day, we will celebrate triple Js papa's BIG day! So today is also not an exception. Will be simple wif dinner over at in laws place wif cake cutting and a little gift too. Most importantly I pray that jjjpapa will have a good headstart in his spiritual walk wif God as we journey our 2years of IDT at our church together. As what the speaker had said last night, having a good headstart is not enough, we should have the ending in mind right from the beginning! We gotta to press on and to finish the race in order to pass on our legacy to our next generation, Amen!

Baby J's @ 34weeks

#3 is now weighing at 2.1kg. Average, 50 percentile as expected. Gynae said #3 will be somewhat between Jamie and Jeremy's weight. That's between 2.7-3.1kg. That's fine as long as he is born healthy wif no jaundice, birth defects or whatsoever complications. Effectively, I am counting down 5 weeks from today ! And judging from the ultrascan pix, I thought he resembles Jamie who has very chubby cheeks when she was born!

School Re-Opens

Finally holiday is OVER!!! Now I can understand why couples wif preschoolers cheers whenever school holiday ends! Today both kids are excited to get back to school after a whole month of play, rest, excursions and fun! Of course, I am the happiest one of all, ahahhahahaa!!
