It's a boy!

Name: BaoBao for now. Waiting for Daddy to think of a name
Birthday: 25Jul2009
Weight: 3025g
Length: 52 cm
Head: 35 cm
Delivery: Natural with Epi and Vacuum

Birth highlights  

• 24Jul 6pm: 1cm dilated. BB head still high. Insert 1st induce tablet at Dr's clinic
• Go home to have dinner and bath
• 25Jul 12.30am: Check-in MAH after roti prata supper 
• 25Jul 1am: 3cm dilated. Insert 2nd induce tablet. Contractions starts, some as high as 130 recorded but I dont really feel much pain
• 25Jul 9am: 4cm dilated. Dr break waterbag. REAL contraction pain starts... ok this is no fun!
• 25Jul 9.15am: Epi!!!
• Wait... Wait... Wait... no food at all. Super irritating when Mark when for lunch / dinner and came back smelling like a walking canteen 
• 25Jul 6pm: Fully dilated but BB head is still high (cant get engaged properly...) Dr decided to get me to try pushing but she say that if cannot come thru then will have to go for c-sec!
• PUSH! PUSH! PUSH! ... but I'm so hungry where got energy!
• 25Jul 6.58pm: After pushing for 1 hr! BB is delivered with assisted vacuum

The team in MAH is really quite good. They know that I'll have a difficult time to push, so 2 staff nurses were standing by my side to help me push my stomach when I pushed and the Dr were standing below pulling with the vacuum. They really helped to squeeze the BB out of me.

Where is Mark during this whole time? I cant see him at all, he was holding my head!

The first words that I said to BaoBao when I had him for the first time in my arms... "You have double eye lids!" Gosh! How shallow and superficial can I get? Must be due to no food for the whole day and my brain is not functioning...

My first thought immediately after the delivery? Actually I wasn't overwhelm with joy and anything like that... I was just thinking about how horrible the delivery process was and it sure is the top 3 most horrible experience in my life!

洁语录之...
I want to be a man in my next life... how great to tell my wife to wait in the delivery room and starve while I go enjoy my lunch!
  

5 years and counting...

Today is our 5th Wedding anniversary and how meaningful it is to spend it by going for our 1st prenatal photoshoot. I had great fun and it reminded me of the day we took our wedding shots.

I'm in W36 now.

   

This is my favourite.
Gosh! My tummy looked like it is going to burst any time. Some people told me that my tummy looked like a fake one as no part of my body grew except for the tummy!

I'm in W25

This is the 25th week of my gestation.

Times had moved so fast and its seems like only yesterday that I found that I'm preggie.
Mark and I had been praying for baby for some time now and this is really a special gift as he was conceived on Mark's birthday.

...

During this week, Dr found that my blood sugar is over the normal high limit.
(Normal is 7.8 and I'm 8.59)
I hereby officially announced that my sugar and carbo eating days are over!

Year 2008

Year 2008 just zoomed passed so quickly.
It is already in the last 3 days and I've not posted once this year...

So much for my life as a blogger.

Looking at the trend, I cant say that I've successfully fulfilled any of my resolution...
so I've decided to not make them this year.

Well, maybe for one...
I hope to be a good mumsy
:)

Holidays for everyone

December... it's holiday time for everyone, including Kippy!

My parents are going to China to visit the relatives there and Jean has plans for holidays in Japan and Shanghai, therefore we need arrange for a sitter for our beloved Kippy.

Kippy is also going for holidays too... 10D9N tour to Punggol in Bini's home. (Seriously, I heard that Mum had even packed a huge bag for him)

Jipi setup a webcam to show kippy's movement and I can view his actions online (http://kippy.audiomind.org/).
Here's some pics that I managed to save from the link.

Kippy is so cute!

In the land of Christmas

I am in the land of Christmas this week for work. It is so dark and cold here. The sun rises at 10 am and sets at 4 pm!

her-her-ha-he... 快使用双截棍...

Greetings from 上海体育场! So many people at Jay Chou's concert!



I'm going for Jay Chou's concert in Shanghai on 24Nov!

Finally the tickets are in my hands!

I am actually quite upset to miss his concert in Singapore on 19Jan2008 as most likely I will not be back in Singapore then and anyway the tickets are totally sold out in Singapore.

Mark's company sponsered some stuff and managed to get 2 free 包厢 tickets. (kekekeke!) Hope it will not be too far away from the stage.

Thank you darling for making the effort to get the tickets!!!

Shopping Spree

I went on a shopping spree in 证大广场 (Superbrand mall near to Oriental Pearl tower).  There's so many of my fav shops here... H&M, UNIQLO, Zara, Agatha...

I bought 6 tops, 1 skirt, 1 pair of gloves and 2 rings. Total damage is about RMB 1000+. Not too bad!
Eventhough I've been in China for almost 3 years now, but I'm still not used to the value of RMB.  In Singapore, I'll think twice about spending S$25 on a top but will not bat an eyelid to spend RMB129.  I better be careful not to over-spend now... but I need some new shoes to go with my new clothes!!! 

A lousy evening

I've spend the past 1 week or so of my leave doing nothing.

My typical day is to wake up at about 10+ in the morning, then check emails, manage my facebook and then practice crazy taxi. In the evening, I'll go to Carrefour to shop and then try to cook.

During this few days, I'd came to realise that I'm not suitable to be a housewife. As you can see above, my typical day does not include doing housework. Thus the house is in quite a mess. But I tried to fulfilled my duties as a wife by cooking dinner.

However I'm quite pissed today. I'd cooked dinner by 7 pm and then waited for Mark to come home to have dinner together. He came home at 8pm without informing me! I was famished by then and immediately served dinner. But I end up eating dinner alone as Mark was busy reading his blackberry and did not response when I asked him to have dinner.

I really don't understand... what can be so rush and important? Even US president can afford to have dinner with his wife.

Days in Shanghai

I'm on leave for 2 weeks from 10Nov to 25Nov. I've no plans on how to spend these days. Basically I'll just nau at home in Shanghai.

I'm back

I'm back in Singapore.... finally!

I'm not able to access to Multiply or Blogspot in China and cannot update my sites at all. SO DEPRESS!!! So strange leh, Cho can login when he was in Beijing, but I can't.

I'm a Blogger

Finally... I have my own blog!
It was created when I was in a telconf (yes, obviously I was not listening to the blabber)
:P
