Thanks to all...

Thanks to all those who've dropped by and left your sweet comments..

To joanne (archz): haha.. yeah, really look like keddy.. Definitely will bring alvis to you if we go far east.. =)

To katie: c-section was no pain at all throughout the operation.. i was still conscious thru the op.. couldn't feel anything frm my lower body down.. i was lucky, my wound didn't really hurt that much too.. =)

To jasmine: I do feel contractions during my stay at TMC but they were very minor and bearable, not strong enough to dilate my cervix that's why I went for c-section.. hmm.. it's common to feel contractions now cuz you can be due anytime.. just time your contractions.. if it gets more intense and the intervals are shorter, then it means u could be in labour.. Anyway right now I believe you're seeing your gynae weekly rite? just relax, everything's gonna be fine.. take deep breaths each time you feel your contractions, i think it does help to relieve the pain a little.. wish you a smooth delivery...

To Maggie: yeah, i think 52cm is considered quite common, wonder why the nurse at TMC told me it's a new record.. haha..

To Sity: haha.. yeah, i've popped.. don't have to envy me la.. hehe.. thanks for your well wishes, take care...

Baby Alvis

Finally, here is Wifey with updates!!

So to begin with, let me talk abit about my labour..
Went to my gynae on 17th morning for checkup and he said I've not dilated, so as I've chosen to induce my baby on the 18th, he inserted a pill to dilate my cervix at his clinic..
After that I went home and relax and prepare to admit to Thomson Medical Centre on 17th night, at 2230hr..

We checked in to our single private room 617... Here is a photo of me taken on my bed with my tummy..haha..

This is the private room.. Very comfortable and spacious..

Hubby has his bed right beside mine too.. hehe.. He stayed with me throughout that 4 nights at the hospital.. =)

Then at 0030hrs, 18th March, gynae came to check and I've yet to dilate..

So insert another pill..

If by morning of 18th March still couldn't dilate, I would have to opt for c-section..

That night I couldn't sleep well, cuz I wasn't prepared for c-section at all....

I was afraid of the injection and it would also be considered a minor operation..

At 0800hrs, gynae came and checked on me..

Dilate only less than 1cm... =(

Had to make a decision..

Either c-section or continue to wait for miracle to happen so I can deliver vaginally..

Discussed with hubby and decided to go for c-section..

Though I was very afraid, I just want to deliver my baby smoothly and fast cuz I'm afraid waiting might stress my baby...

So I got ready and went into the operating theatre at 1400hrs on 18th March...

Here's me with my glasses.. haha..

Cannot wear lens..

At 1438hrs, Baby Alvis was delivered healthily and safely...

The First Touch of my baby...

Couldn't believe I carried him in me for 39 weeks....

Dr Ang said "nice baby" when he brought him out of my tummy.. hehe..

I was so relieved to hear him wailing...

Finally pregnancy was over and I get to meet my baby for the very first time..

I was so touched..

Our first family photo...

Hubby was there to witness the process...

They cleaned my baby and took all the necessary measurements and did all the necessary procedures...

Measuring his head circumference... 35cm..

His weight at birth... 3.400kg..

And he is 52cm in height..

The nurse at TMC told me that my baby was the tallest... hehe.

Broke their record.. =P

These were all taken by Hubby while Dr Ang stitched me up...

Our little bundle of joy...

So here is Alvis, all cleaned up, showered and all nicely done up when the nurse brought him to my room...

Daddy with Alvis...

Darling, this is our love creation you're holding in your hands...

I hope you're a proud daddy... =)

You've been a very good husband... Thanks for everything we've went through together...

Pregnancy, delivery...

And I wouldnt be able to make it on my own without you with me throughout the hospital stay..

Thank you my hubby...

We came home on the 21st..

Here is Alvis on his cot back from TMC..

Baby Alvis at 5 days old...

We received this back home from Simon and Huimin...

Thanks alot!! We really appreciate it...

Baby Alvis at 11 days old...

Baby Alvis at 13 days old..

Hee.. His ah ma put on a beanie for him last night to sleep..

Today we took out hubby's childhood photo and realised that our Alvis really looked alot like hubby when he was little..

I swear its about 80% resemblance.. hehe..

Alvis took after his dad's nose, mouth and hair color...

I'm happy..

It's like when I look at my baby, I think of hubby as well.. =)

Hee..

Alright, that'll be all for now..

Just a brief entry with the photos to share..

I'll be back with more thoughts and feelings to share...

We both love each other only and we're very deeply and will forever be in love with each other.. So f*ck off.

On the way...

Our baby is on the way....
We're leaving for the hospital soon...
Will be back with updates asap...
Wish me a smooth delivery!

Countdown 1 day...

Yes, it's the 17th...

Less than 24 hours, I'll be at Thomson Medical Centre, to await the arrival of my bb..

*excited*

Yesterday after having breakfast, I popped by a provision shop in the neighborhood and found something "new"...

I've not seen this anywhere yet..

Cadbury has only Dairy Milk and Peppermint flavor as far as I know..

So this is a new launch? hee.. I'm not sure, but I love Caramello...

They used to produce Caramello ice-cream.. But now I can't find them in supermarkets either.. =(

Then, because I'll be on confinement for a month soon...

We went for a little indulgence at Jack's Place last night for dinner...

And I went to have another coconut...

This time I shared it with darling...

It was pouring heavily...haha..

You can see the water droplets reflection on my darling's glasses.. hehe.. Looks funny.. =P

I got some strawberries again, but this time it's from Korea..

Slightly more expensive than US strawberries, but definitely the quality is better..

These red, fresh strawberries are certainly Y-U-M-M-Y!!

Anyway, Darling is on leave already, all prepared for the big day..

Today, we did some last minute shopping, plus a visit to the Kuan Yin Temple at Rochor..

It rained very heavily when we were done praying...

So we had to seek some shelter and wait for the rain to get lighter...

Then darling noticed this tree that he said looks like sakura blossom in Japan...

Hahaha..

Check it out..

Seriously it does look alike...

Too bad there's only one...

If there were a few of the same kind together, I think we can really imagine ourselves in Japan..

hahaha...

After that we went to a place where darling always like to go on a Sunday..

And that is the flea market at China Square Central...

Every vendor sells almost the same type of merchandise there..

Darling just simply likes to go there and look at the toys, the collectibles and some old-school stuff..

This is my don't know how many visit there liao... hehe..

Me... The swollen me... hee..

Went to Beppu Mekan for late lunch...

Had the usuals...

Darling had all the peas to himself... me don't like.. =P

Yummy...

Before my confinement...

One month of confinement food...

Yucks... =P

I will definitely miss all the good delicious food during this coming one month..

I'll make sure I'll have all the yummy food after my confinement... =P

I'll be admitting to TMC tonight...

Hopefully my labour will be a smooth and a fast one...

Can't wait to see my baby....

I will blog again before my delivery if I have the time..

Please pray for me too.. hee..

Countdown 3 days...

Happy Saturday Everyone...

Like I've mentioned earlier, Dr Lawrence said bb is still not coming out yet as on the appt on 12th..
And this 22nd will be the EDD.. By right, if bb still is not out by then, I would have to admit to TMC on 21st night to induce so bb will be delivered just nice on the 22nd...
But according to the lunar calendar my mother-in-law checked, it's not really an "auspicious" day on the 22nd.. 18th was the closest "better" date.. So she was saying since need to induce, might as well choose a better date to induce..

So, which means, I would have to admit to TMC on the 17th to do the induction!!
Which also means that it's only 2 - 3 days away from now!!!!
Isn't it scary? Wahahaha...
At first I was counting down to 22nd..
Now I have to bring it forward by 4days!

On the way back from breakfast with darling just now, I was thinking to myself...
"The tummy that I've been carrying for this 10months will soon be gone... Should I feel happy or sad?"
I think I feel happy because finally I get to see my bb for the first time and I will be able to get some weight off myself...
And I will feel sad cuz I will definitely miss this special feeling of carrying my bb inside me wherever I go and to feel every little movement of his, bonding with him every little second...

I'm sure darling is feeling the same as I do right now....
Lotsa thoughts running through the head...
As the date is drawing near...
What should we expect?
How long will the labour take?
How pain will it be?

Can you guys feel my excitement and anxiety??! hahaha...
I just pray that everything will turn on smoothly... =)
