Jerald is really growing more and more cute each day.. hee i cant bare to go work at all! now i understand what stacy meant when she say while she's working, after work rush home as fast as she could to see her bb.. Now Jerald can respond to us le.. He can recognise mummy! E.g. when my mum is carrying him and he is hungry.. she try all means to distract him if i am busy.. and when i'm done with my stuff, i came over and call out to him, he will "bian zui" and starts to cry like he's so poor thing! haha.. i love him so much really so much.. i can't help but keep taking photos of him and videos of his cute moments.. wanna compile them into a big photo album to show to him in the future! :)

Still remember when he was born.. he had v bad jaundice.. since discharge from KKH on the 5th September, everyday we need to go to the poly clinic to have blood test from his tiny heel and check the jaundice level and my tears flow like how his blood flow! everyday his jaundice level keep increasing and that worries me so much!! by day 5 of his life, he was sent to KKH A&E and admitted for NNJ [Neo-Natal Jaundice] and needs to have photo therapy. My heartached so much and i cant stop crying! I lost my appetite the day he was admitted.. my poor baby is not gonna be with me for the next few days! and i am so worried that his jaundice might be caused by his liver failure to function and stuff.. Hubby rushed out from camp the moment i sms-ed him bout jerald's situation.. both of us were jus so worried bout jerald! on the day he was admitted, my breast milk started flowing!! It was so sudden and i didn't prepare any breast pump.. and i tasted the "breast-engorged-like-a-stone" feeling and its definitely not nice.. wanted to latch jerald on when i visit him at the hospital but he was soundly asleep.. so i came home with the "stone-breast" -_-" I am really blessed! A fellow forum mummy who stayed next block to my mum came over to lend me her pump @ 4am! oh my god can u imagine how touched i was.. i nearly died of engorgement thru out the nite cant sleep at all.. but it was wasted i threw all the milk away bcos i nv sterilise the bottles n pump cos i was in great pain =x a big big thank you to the mummy!! really appreciate it alot! next day my beloved sweet "s-klub" [u know who u are] bought me Medela Mini Electric Breast Pump and wai passed to me!! i quickly sterilise and pump out the pathetic 20 - 40ml of milk for Jerald.. brought it to KKH with me when i visited him.. Received good news on the next day that his jaundice level has fallen! so happy and both my mum n me teared! so silly of us.. but i am really happy that he is finally recovering! he discharged from KKH 3 days later.. and con't to visit polyclinic everyday for blood tests.. his jaundice was finally found out to be "breast-feeding Jaundice" - meaning his jaundice is caused by breastfeeding and therefore has no harm to his body and his liver is functioning well! *phew!* I love my baby boy Jerald Tan sooooooooooooooooooo much!!

Jerald was borned on the 4th of September 2005 at K K Women & Children Hospital. At birth, he weighed 3.645kg, 48cm tall, head circumference 33cm and he was delivered by Dr Jazlan Joosph. He was born at full-term, meaning 40weeks. His mummy was induced, becos jerald simply refuses to come out from mummy's womb. Mommy was admitted to KKH on 2nd Sept @ 1pm @ the delivery suite with the company of his daddy :) Both of them spent a day at DS awaiting eagerly for jerald to arrive but he didnt wan to come out yet. -_-" so mummy was sent to the ward to rest and sleep. next morning she was "summoned" to the DS again. At 3pm, gynae decided to burst the water bag.. and @ 5pm, mummy was on dripper and contractions became more frequent, also starts to dilate cm by cm. by 8pm, mummy could feel the pain coming and daddy stood by her all the way, holding her hands tightly each time contractions made mummy pain and almost into tears. Daddy keep encouraging her to hang on, and that she can make it thru without any form of anesthetic. finally after mid nite, the real pain comes and gynae says Jerald is coming anytime soon. After sometime of pushing, Jerald is finally out from mummy's tummy!
I'm such a lovely baby!! Both mummy and daddy became wobbly after all the force exerted and their hands were shaking badly.. lolz* A big big thanks to the mid wife & gynae Dr Jazlan for all the encouragement & delivering our baby. 曾祖母,叔公 & his wife & son, 外婆,大姨 were all outside of the delivery suite waiting to see mummy, daddy and me! :)
