Gregory 1st lunar birthday

Today is Gregory day!
He turns 1 year old in lunar date. Like what we did for Charis when she turned 1YO, we woke up very early to prepare the foods for praying. And that include:
1chicken
8 hardboiled egg dye in bright red
1 box of mee sua
Glutinous rice
8 Ang gu kueh
5 oranges

When all are ready, we rush to pil hse to pray, then we rush down to Jurong west to pray. Mad rush cos we have only 2hr!

Charis is very well behave, 大姐姐了就是不一样！but Gregory is quite cranky esp in the cab.
After Gregory has changed his clothes, he keep rushing us to go out. And he keep waving good bye and kisses to his grandma (maybe he knows that she did not change her clothes) :D

At 1 year old, Gregory can walk a few steps, call mama(I feel so shiok), say mum mum(mean food), call ah ma(his 婆婆), drink from straw, wave bye bye, give flying kisses, play peek a boo with me, pick up his baby food with his fingers.

Boy progress is slower than girl? It seems like Charis learn more around his age but never mind :) he is still my darling!

No pictures, brain is still sleeping. It has been weeks since I wake up at 4am every morning. Seriously sleep deprived! Going to sleep now before Gregory start his day at 4am.

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 ...
