Holiday Season....

I love the month of December. Reasons being:-
(1) I am borned 29 December 1976
(2) I got married on 2 December 2004
(3) Christmas is on 25 December

This certainly is a month full of celebrations. This year, we'll be spending these joyous occasions with our little angel, Bb J. Life has since changed with his arrival. Decisions are made with him in mind now. Welcome to parenthood, Jimmy and Mag! With his arrival, the house seems to be liven up though. Every little action he does , makes our hearts melt. Here's a smiling picture of him......




Bb J was down with flu. Brought him to the PD at Singapore Baby AMK branch as Jimmy was busy with work. My poor angel...he was crying his heart out when the nurse was clearing his nose as there were phelgm inside him. Its was really heartbreaking to see him struggling and crying at the same time.....For the first time as a parent, I experienced the "painfulness" my child had gone through being sick.

I have to make time to highlight my hair....do christmas shopping ...get some clothes for work...cos i dun think i am able to squeeze in my pants.....i am still dragging to try those old office wear...its really high time i do cos i am returing back to work after a 5 1/2 months break on 3 January 2007...how time flies.....by then i think i will miss Bb J badly......

Its been awhile since i last posted...Baby Jaeden is borned 13 October 2006.

The last few months of pregnancy has been tough which explained why i did not blog as much as I would love to. I was found to have early contractions at week 24. I felt an aching pain and decided to visit the gynae. Mr Chen did a V-test and said there was no cause of concern. However, back home, i found that there were red discharge and thought to myself it could be due to the V-test. Then came next morning and I panic as I found that there were still some red discharge. Went to work as usual and continued to monitor. Decided to see Mr Chen as i was still bleeding. But after making the appointment, there were no longer red discharge, I call the clinic nurse and asked her whether i should go see Mr Chen since there were no longer any discharge. The nurse advised me to go as a safety precaution as we do not know whether internally are there still any bleeding. Mr Chen examined me and told me i had to be admitted as my stomach is very hard. You could imagine how shock I am, having to be admitted on the spot.I called Jimmy and told him. Most of the time, he visited Mr Chen with me but that week, he was busy with an event. And what worst was that I was to be admitted on the eve of his event launch!

I was being admitted to the Labour ward. It was a 4-bedded area and only husbands were allowed entry. I was being hooked to the CTG machine as well as the blood pressure machine. Mr Chen checked me into Labour ward as it was 24-hours monitoring, meaning that i would be hooked to both machines for 24 hours!!! It was really depressing to be at the Labour ward. I had to be confined in bed with curtains surrounding me since it was a 4-bedded area. What worst was there were simply no form of entertainment and not allowing visitors wasnt helping me to stay sane. (Jimmy still manage to smuggle my parents, MIL n SIL to see me) It was a tiring period for Jimmy as he had to shuttle between his event ground and the hospital. At the Labour ward, he had to spend 5 nites sleeping on the cold hard chair. Thanks to the invention of portable TVs, Jimmy got me "entertained" during those 5 long dreadful days. I kept asking Mr Chen and the nurses when I could be transferred to normal ward but the contractions seems to get stronger as days passed by. Finally, on the 6th day, I was given the go ahead to the normal ward.

I spent another 4 more days at normal ward and was still confined to bed. Constipation problem sets in and what worst was pooing in bed was not an easy task to achieve. Thanks to Mr Chan, with his help (helping me to clear shit out with his finger!!!), the highly constipated stool came out. He was labelled by the ward nurses as my personal male nurse. Many a times, the nurses were too busy to attend to me hence Mr Chan did the gallant work by cleaning me, clearing my poo etc...This explains why on my msn my tagline was "You have gone to the extremes during our darkest hours, I m indeed truly blessed".....

At week 26, Mr Chen broke the news that my cervic was about 1.5cm dilated!!. He scheduled to sew up the cervic the very next day. You could imagine how despair i felt, having just discharged from hospital and had to be admitted once again. It was a short operation. Goodness, felt very nervous and worried as this was the 1st time for me to be pushed into the operating theatre. There were many levels of verifications as well. I was the 4th person to be operated by Mr Chen that day. Waiting time was worrying time...many thoughts went through my mind.....and finally the nurses came and pushed me into the operating theatre. Bingo...i was being transferred to the operating table...above me was this giant spaceship-like lights. Felt so cold inside the theatre. Mr Chen came and asked me how i was feeling..."Great", i answered...what a lie!!!....and the anethesatic came and minutes later i fell into deep sleep...Oh yes, my dad and Jimmy was waiting for me outside the operating room. Half an hour later, i was being woken up by the nurse...head felt heavy...then i was being pushed back to my nitemare ward..the labour ward to be hooked on the CTG for any signs of contractions....i hate it.....asked Mr Chen when i could be transferred to normal ward, he said it was better to be monitored for at least for 24 hours....luckily, i was being transferred to normal ward after 24 hours....Mr Chen then told me to bed rest.....i was then 26 weeks.

During my bed resting period, dad and Jimmy was practically like my legs. They had to bring up food and drinks for me. Jimmy also had to bath me to prevent me from bending. The only place i could walk to was the toilet and then back to bed. When i was due for weekly checkups, dad and Jimmy had to carry me up and down the stairs since there were no lift at my parents' house....yea 3 storeys!! Thanks Daddy & Jimmy...for everything you all have done for me..

Into my 6th month..

Today marks the 6th month of my pregnancy.....time flies...it seems but yet it seems so slow at times...

Baby J (baby's name will start with "J" but the search for an appropriate name is still on..)has been kicking me actively for the past 2 days...I am sure i will miss his kicking after he is born like all other mothers will....


I have been eating much more lately....stomach has been "ballooning" up significantly...wonder how much i have put on...will know this coming Friday when i visit the gynae again...

As i thought....i have been pretty lucky in the sense that I do not suffer morning sickness.....my apettite didnt change much as well...things i dun like to eat...i still dun like...things i love to eat...i eat.kekeke....Poor baby J....mummy like spicy food so much.......and that brings me to think that baby J might not be consuming healthy food from mummy as well since mummy do not like vegetables , cheese etc.....in return i make up by eating more fruits......hope this helps though not much...

Buying things for the baby is in the progress...so far...we have got the stoller (Quinny Buzz), car seat (MaxiCosi), playpen, bath tub, some clothes, pillow set, bedsheet...still more to buy........

There's also the consideration whether to get a maid or a confinement lady and whether dad will be able to cope if we do not get a maid....hmmmm.......time is running out Mag....gotta to come to a decision fast.....

2nd trimester and counting....

With the 1st trimester over, here comes the 2nd trimester. Somehow i felt more tired during this trimester than the last. Werid though cos usually one tends to feel tired during the 1st trimester.

A detailed scan was being scheduled on 9 June 2006. We had to go to the Medical Centre below Prof Chen clinic for the scan as his clinic does not have the machine.
Once we were inside the a small dark room, the nurse told me to relax and applied some kinda of gel for the scan. Nurse commented that baby is very active inside tummy. About 5 mins into the scan, the nurse asked if we wanna know the gender of the baby...and before we could reply, she said "You are having a boy" and on top of that she made a comment "Look, your baby is playing with his balls!!". Baby was way too active, she had to ask baby to cooperate with her to enable her to take the necessary measurements. I couldnt really see the screen and Jimmy was the one who had the luxury to see our little one "jumping" around in my tummy. The full test took around 30-45 mins after which we had to wait for the printouts of the scan and go back to Prof Chen for assessment. There goes another 2 1/2 hrs of wait before we could see Prof Chen and within 5 mins we were out of his room!

We did some shopping. Bought a playpen, mattress, bedsheets, stoller, car seat, some clothings etc..Its seems like there's neverending to the Buy list...cos there were still so many things to buy even having purchased the so-called crucial stuff already.....the shopping for baby stuff continues......

Early stage of pregnancy....

The pregnancy indicator showed "+" on 23 February 2006. I did the test with Jimmy around. We were looking closely at the indicator...think we did not know how to feel at that point in time as the indicator begins to turn "+" blue. I believed both of our reaction to the results were like..."Hmm.....this is it, we are going to have a baby". Perhaps we were not that prepared for it, hence our reaction. We did not feel excited at all...more like overwhelmed by the fact that there is a small life growing inside my tummy and we gonna be daddy and mummy.

Think by the time we had the test done, i was around 5 weeks. Was comtemplating whether should i see a gynae now or visit a GP. GP will make you take somemore tests to confirm your pregnancy so no point going....Consulted my dear cousins, asking whether any recommendations for gynaes......Grace called her gynae and the charges seemed pretty reasonable hence she made an appointment for me to visit Prof Chirstopher Chen at Gleneagles.


Appointment was made on 25 February 2006. Were made to do urine tests and blood tests. After a brief consultation with Prof, we were told to go back for the blood test results 2 hrs later. 2 hrs later, Prof assessed the blood test, he said just as he had expected, the blood test results reflected that my progesterone level were very low......i needed to have a jab and he prescribed daily dosage of 3 tubes of progesterone cream jabs. On top of that, i had to take folic acid as well as this other white color medicine (forgotten the name).

Every nite diligently, poor Jimmy has to do the jab for me....its like practically he is "suffering" with me. This jab went on for the next 2 1/2 months....till 16 weeks....was relieved when Prof said that I do not have to continue with this daily cream jab. Despite having the jab everyday, I hate the feeling of the tube inside me....3 times per nite somemore!!....Gosh, there is always the fear....

1st trimester was pretty smooth sailing for me apart from those jabs. Thank God, I didnt experience any morning sickness and there wasn't any much cravings (Jimmy, u damn lucky). In turn, Mr Chan was the one who got more cravings than the preggie mum-to-be....As for tireness, I didn't sleep much earlier as well.

There were several tests to go through upon reaching 16th week of the pregnancy. There was the DS test, Triple tests etc. Thank God results of the tests were normal.
