Arrival of baby Nicholas



19 April 2021, we welcomed our new member :) he has came to us as a surprised gift. I got to know I was pregnant last Sep, at first it came to me as a shock rather than surprise. Firstly I did not thought that getting conceive is easy, for all previous pregnancy, I have tried ways and means to get pregnant, and now I did not even try and I strike jackpot! Of course, baby equal joy!!! We broken the news to our kids and Charis even cried when she heard it. My pregnancy journey is not a smooth one, at 40 year old, I feel my body is not prepared and weak for this pregnancy. I have bleeding for the whole T2 and pelvic pain for T3. Basically i need more and more bedrest and because I get to work from home due to covid 19, I did not have to travel to work or request any medical leave. 16 April 2021, I am at week 37 plus 4days, during the gynae check, I was already 2cm dilated, I am excited. My inital plan is to induce on 19 April as I am worried that the fliud level will drop after week 38 like the previous pregnancies. Now I am rather glad to know that baby is planning to come out this few days too. 18 April 2021, the mucus plug fall out late night. It is the 1st time I experienced it. Previous 3 pregnancies are all induced, I did not get to see and touch the mucus plug and feel how is it like for the water bag to burst by itself. Naturally I thought that I have to induce baby 4 since he did not come out before 19 April. I totally cannot sleep and thinking if I will give birth in the middle of the night. 19 April 2021, we arrived TMC at 8am for breakfast before I check in to my 3d2n staycation. Gynae came to check that I am 3cm dilated and because the mucus plug has fallen off, she did not need to induce me. After I was put on drip and gynae burst the water bag, the contraction started to kick in fast. We are expecting a lunch time baby. I realised I have low pain tolerance, the pain at 3-4cm dilated almost killed me, lucky the laughing gas worked this round. When I felt a sharp pain, I started to push and ask the staff to check, it was 7cm dilated. And suddenly they rushed to set up the station and inform the gynae to stand by, but another sharp pain come along and I told the nurse that I cannot hold back anymore. This rascal is rushing to come out. Gynae rush over and with 3-4 pushes, baby Nicholas is out to see us.

Holiday mean FUN!

HAPPY!!! I started to love school holidays more! For 1 reason! To wake up late! Ok, I don’t get to sleep until 自然醒 but it is still a joy to wake up 1 hour later than the usual timing 。。 After all ever since have kids, sleep until 自然醒 is a very much luxury for me   Holiday mean FUN! As a working mommy, I cannot spend whole june holiday with them but I try to take 1 or 2 days leave off work to spend time with them. We have watched Jungle Book together on 27 May after their parent-teacher-meeting. And I hope that I can bring them out once a week to enjoy during this holiday. After having Kolby, we missed out a lot of thing together. Playing with them and bring them to play are 2 different thing. I want to play with them. Have fun with them. That why a helper will be good if someone can help to look after my kopi boy while I bond with my 2 darlings. But now, it is too late to get a helper as kopi boy will sure reject strange faces.   Charis scored well, not hig...

Development of Kolby 11 month old

So fast, Kolby is 11 month old now. 1 month more and he will be 1 year old. At 11 month old, he is doing well though he is rather small build compared to his peers. Remember he was sick for a week, after since then, he has become extra more sticky to me to the extent that I cannot be out of his sight. He used to be ok when I asked Charis or hubby to look after or play with him while I do housework. Now, NO WAY! He will crawl or move toward me if he hears that I ask Charis or hubby to come over to my side. Oh dear, I was so shocked when he did it. We experienced a few times with Charis, and he really fast hand fast leg crawl to me and hug me like a koala bear. Sometimes I wonder is it because I latch him always. Hubby said Kolby only recognize me as his milk machine, but I think Kolby simply love me too much~~ At 11 month old he can do quite a few things: Kiss goodbye Wave goodbye Say mama, jiejie, baba, nehneh, bird bird Listen to instruction like ...
