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

Kolby surprised me again by picking up a raisin and put in his mouth and he chew it before swallowing it. Why do I feel surprised with his action? Remember he was once refer to KKH because of his not good motor skill   and fine motor skill and his slow weight gain. Within a month, he is able to start independently, knowing how to use a pen to scribble and also picking up a raisin and feed himself. Maybe his weight gain is still not ideal as I don’t monitor his weight and height gain. Other than this, he is doing very well. I am glad that I trusted my mother instinct and did not bring him to   unnecessary assessment. I understand that the doctor in polyclinic mean well and they have to follow the procedure, but no doubt, it is also adding extra stress to the parents. I have colleagues who will see from the health booklet what is the age and things that a child can do and practice them with her child in order not to fail the assessment. Of course it is good to teach the

Kolby can walk @13 mth

Kolby started walking on his own a few weeks ago.. He is so happy when he can walk on his own to me.. I am so proud of him.

July

It was a busy june and july for me. Sending Charis everyday to student care and rush to work during june holidays, taking day off to bring the kids out for some fun and as soon as the holiday ended, my green belt training start. It means that every morning is a mad rush to send gregory and kolby to my mom house and go to changi north for my GB training. Lucky it is only for a week. However in 2 week time, the madness will come back again for another 4 days. Quite like the green belt course, good to be back to study. Feel happy to learn more thing. Kolby started walking without help. This mean more work for me, maybe I will lose fats more.. haha When Kolby went for his 12 mth old vaccine, he was measured too small build and motor skills not good. He was referred to kkh kid specialist, but I did not bring him for review. I find that he is doing well, he is able to scribble with a pen right after I showed him how although he still cannot take up a raisin. I will teach him that too.
8 June 2015, the day Kolby come to my life. Cannot believe 1 year has past, just in a blink of eye, my kopi boy is 1 year old. Happy birthday Kolby! Mommy loves you always! Be happy and healthy! It is my only wish.  Oh my, I survived 1 year without maid! Seriously I cannot make it without my mother. 真的是世上只有妈妈好! 家 有 一老,如有 一宝 ! 很幸运,我有两宝!!! And I am also happy that I have breastfeed my kopi boy for a year and still going on! The amount I pump in the day is only half of what he is drinking in the day, I am surprised that I can nurse him during the weekend, and at night. It is quite amazing how our body works when baby is around. I read from online that there is always milk for them. And it is true! Another good news is I managed to lose more weight, from L size to M size now, I managed to wear back some of my pre-preggy dresses and tops. I still have a tummy to slim down before I can wear back my pants.  I will continue to exercise to make it happen.

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 high scorer

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
