Welcoming our 2nd Little Boy!

8th December 2011:

When I woke up in the morning, felt slightly stomach pain. I informed my Hubby who was getting ready to go to work. He told me to go and see my Gynae better. So I went alone to the clinic in the morning since he was busy on that day... Anyway, today is also my weekly check-up, just that appointment is made in the afternoon.

Wow, to my surprise, after the scanning and measurements, my Gynae informed me that my cervix had dilated 3 cm!! And she also informed me that the water level has gone down quite a lot compare to last week check-up. After some discussions, Gynae told me I can either admit to hospital by this evening or tomorrow morning for delivery.

Well, baby has signs of coming out soon. I was half happy and half anxious. The day I have been waiting for so long has finally arrived soon. Gynae told me the things that she will be doing for me once I get admitted, she explained the procedures to me and I also informed her on my birth plans as well.

I chose to admit on Friday morning, so that I have enough time to clear some office work and also go for my office Christmas party. Haha!!

I informed Hubby, my Mummy and MIL on my conditions and told them that I will be admitted on Friday morning. Hubby told me he will late for home tonight to clear his work before go on leaves with me.

Then, I went to buy some Chinese Herbs myself and packed some things before I returned back to office after the check-up. And of course, not to miss out eating the food I want to eat!!

9th December 2011:

Hubby sent me to thehospital in the morning. Our schedule admitted time was by 8am, but we were a bit late. When we reached, my Gynae also reached few minutes after us. Good timing!!

~ Me in the Labour Ward before all the pains and contractions started! ~

I was told to change and then was informed by the nurses and Gynae what they are going to do on me and etc. Hubby was with me throughout the whole process. I had very minor contractions in the morning and was dilated 4 cm when I reached the hospital. After 2 hours of waiting, it was 5.5 cm. Aiyo, contractions started slowly and I could feel the pain coming!

~ Monitoring my Contractions ~

And then dilated 6 cm during noon time when Gynae came for 2nd visit. At that time, the pain was really a bit unbearable but I insisted no epidural. Luckily Hubby was by my side. Holding on his hands throughout the whole process for me seemed to be better than taking epidural. He kept on telling me, it will be over soon, just need to bear for a while more... But it was really super pain especially on my back!! So I told him, I wanted an epidural this time. He quickly asked for the nurse assistance when he saw me in such a pain, but then after the nurse checked on me, she said was too late already. Baby is coming out soon!! I dilated 9 cm already. She quickly informed my Gynae, and she arrived around 15 minutes later as she actually was already on her way back to her clinic.

During the waiting time, really wanted to thank the midwife and nurse!! She helped me massaged my back and buttocks to make me feel much relief from the pain. Words of encouragement kept on coming out from them. I think without the massage and Hubby's pairs of hands, I think I really cannot make it. The pain is really cannot be described. Hubby even jokingly told me, "Luckily this is 2nd time he come across such a situation, otherwise he also follow me panicks while seeing me in this type of pain."

Doctor arrived and the delivery process started. During the pushes, I kept on repeatedly shouting to Hubby and Gynae, "No, I cannot do it la... Very pain!" All of them in the Labour Ward kept on tell me, "CAN, CAN, You are almost there!! Can see Baby's head already!!"

Finally, I managed to deliver a healthy baby after 3 pushes!! Gynae jokingly telling me after the delivery, "Aiyo, Shin Yee, I thought you are very steady, who knows, you almost give up towards the end. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to stitch you." Hehe... even my Gynae also make fun of me... So 'paiseh'!!

I thank God and everyone in the room who assisted me throughout the whole process!!

Again, this is another day that I will remember for life, the day which we welcome 2nd baby, Nico Ong Jun Jay, to our Family!

~ Hello everyone, I look like who? ~

 

Nico Boy, we LOVE you and welcome to our Family!!

Love from,
Your Daddy, Mummy and brother Kimi ~

Packing Hospital Bag

As my delivery date is getting nearer, I think it is time for me to pack my hospital bag. Since Week 35, my Gyane has informed me that I can deliver anytime from then. She asked me to get ready my things and wrote me an Admission Letter for hospital usage. She gave me her contact number so I can reach her at anytime. So I started to wash some my clothes bit by bit and then packed them into my hospital bag.

Well, let's see what I had prepared in my bag! Hope they are enough during my stay in the hospital...

For Mummy:
Sarung x 2 pieces
Pyjamas x 2 pieces
Stockings
Breast Pads
Disposable Panties
Maternity Pads
Toiletries
Nursing Bra
Face Towel
Thermal Cup

For Baby:
Swaddle Blanket x 1 piece
Mittens & Booties
Baby Clothes x 2 pairs
Baby Napkins
Baby Wipes x 1 small packet
Baby Diapers

I still remembered during Kimi's time, I packed my hospital bag in a rush during midnight when I discovered I was about to deliver. Before rushing to the hospital, I quickly stuffed whatever I could think of into my hospital bag. So hopefully this time, I have enough time to prepare my bag so that I won’t repeat the same experience during the first delivery 2 years ago. Hope I won't leave out anything this time :)

Counting down the days....

Split Love?

My parents-in-law brought Kimi to KL on Tuesday. They had some things to do so they left Kimi with us. Spent a couple of days with Kimi in KL and so happened that I was also on MC. We brought Kimi together with us during the sudden visit to Gynae as I was not feeling well on Tuesday morning. Kimi saw his little brother from the scanning machine, clapped his hands and told us, 'Baby, Baby'... He looks so excited at that time. At that moment, I feel that, I am a blessed mother of two very soon!

Since I was on MC, so I had the chance of taking afternoon nap with Kimi at home and also spent more time bonding with him. I spent my time on teaching him to recognize some alphabets, building up toys bricks with him, watching his favourite cartoons together. I told myself, I must make full use of this 2 days. After this 2 days, I am not sure if I can have the same quality time with Kimi or not in the near future with the arrival of our Baby No. 2.

After sending him off this morning, a sudden sadness made me feel very uneasy. I am not too sure if I am going to see Kimi again in KL before I go for my delivery. The next time I see him either in KL or Taiping, I might be carrying another baby on my arms. Really very mixed feelings!

I suddenly have a feeling of I seem to be treating Kimi unfairly by having a 2nd baby at this time. I am not too sure if I am able to shower Kimi with 100% of my love as what I have been doing for the past 26 months with the arrival of our 2nd Baby soon. At this age of 2 years old, I am sure Kimi needs us a lot in guiding him to do the right thing. I am sure he needs us to be there when he wants to learn a new word. I am sure he needs us to be there to answer him when he is asking, 'Why this? Why that?'..... But with all these uncertainties, I am not too sure if I can cope well for both of them at the same time or not.

Perhaps I am a bit nervous when I think of I might be delivering anytime from now. Or perhaps I am too worry on how Kimi will react after the arrival of his new sibling. I seriously cannot describe the feelings I have in me right now... I know it is unfair to the Baby as well when I have these thoughts on my mind, but I just can’t stop thinking of it. Will I be splitting my loves between both of them? *Sigh* 

Baby, please bear with Mummy for a while. I think as of now, all I need is the transition period. Once the transition period is over, Mummy will be fine soon! Mummy promises to you, I will definitely shower you with tonnes of love equally as how I love your elder brother!! Muacks ~~
 

~ Family Photo of Three ~
I think most probably the next round we take the Family Photo, it will be four persons already.

I hope that everything can work out smoothly on me. And hope that I can be a good mother for Kimi and the little one who is arriving very soon.

@ Week 35

Today, Hubby accompanied me to my bi-monthly check-up. I am currently at Week 35. Time flies very fast! It has been 35 weeks since I got pregnant. If this baby decides to meet us at the same time as his elder brother, it means that I have 2 more weeks from now to welcome his arrival. Isn't it fast?

During the previous check-up at Week 33, our baby still refused to turn his head down making us a bit worry on what if he still did not turn at Week 35. Gynae asked me to continue with the exercise at home. I have been worrying for 2 weeks. Keep on thinking, 'What if baby still does not turn his head down at Week 35?' 'What if this and what if that?' Hubby keeps reassure me that everything will be fine, asks me not to worry so much. But I just can't stop worrying.

So before today's check-up, every night when I was lying on the bed, I always reminded our baby, 'Mummy is doing the exercise now. Please be good ya... Don't forget to turn your head down.' Hope that baby hears what I am saying :)

Today's check-up was very smooth. Everything is under control. And our baby finally has decided to turn his head down. When Gynae touched my tummy, she smiled to me and informed me, seemed like the baby's head had turned down. And then she scanned and confirmed it again. Phew.... When Hubby and I heard this, we were actually quite relieved and at least I no need to worry so much now. Gynae told us that I can deliver anytime from now... Baby is at his good weight. He is currently now weighing 2.9kgs. Everything is just fine. At least, at this moment, c-sec is not in the options list. Thank God! I always hope for a normal delivery and I wish it really will be!

My next check-up will be at Week 37.... Two more weeks from now. Gynae told me that during the next check-up, she will check on my cervix to see is it ready for delivery. If everything goes smoothly, no high blood pressure, etc... I can get ready for my delivery anytime after Week 37! She asked me to save her contact number and passed me the hospital admission form just in case I suddenly need them before the next check-up.

Wow, I am getting near to the arrival day of our 2nd Little One ~ Anxious and excited MOOD are now ON! I must really make good use of this few weeks to do the things I want to do before the arrival of this 2nd baby. Life will definitely be so much busier with 2 kids around!

~ Baby's First Present which I received today from my cousin ~ 

 

 

This 2nd pregnancy is a little bit different compare to Kimi's time. I do not have much swollen on face, legs or body. This makes me easier to walk. Although sleepy at some times, it is still manageable and not so tiring unless I busy doing housework or cooking. After the housework or cooking, I need to rest for some time before I gain back my energy. Otherwise, the back will feel real tired and pain.

 

~ My legs picture taken at Week 33 after my pedicure session ~

 

I am always a fat lady... Hehe... So my legs even though not pregnant, also look a bit 'meat-meat'. But if compare during my 1st pregnancy, this pair of legs was so much better now. At least it looks normal to me for a pregnant lady.

I do not know if I have calculated wrongly, this pregnancy, as of now, I only gained around 8kgs of weight. During Kimi's time, I total gained 15kgs!!

Anyway, despite all these changes in my body and some unforeseen circumstances before this, I really enjoy my pregnancy's journey. I love the way baby moves in my tummy, I love the way he reacts to me when I touch my tummy, and most of all, I love the 'beautiful' me when I have the baby IN me!!

From today onwards, I must really treasure the remaining days which I have for this 2nd pregnancy's journey ~ In a few more weeks’ time, I am going to lead a normal life soon….

@ Week 31

Date: 21st October 2011

I had been feeling dizzy every morning when I woke up for the past weeks. So we decided to drop by Gynae to have a check-up since my bi-monthly check-up date was also approaching.

Check-up @ Week 31:
Everything is fine... My amniotic fluid level is considered OK. Baby is weighing at 1.8kgs at Week 31. Gynae informs us that baby is on his good weight. The only thing now is that baby is still in his breech position. So Gynae asked me to do some exercise every night before sleep. She advises me to be on 'knee-chest position' for a few minutes before I go to sleep. She explained to me on how to do it correctly. After I got back home, I googled and found some information on this position.

I personally find that this article is worth a reading: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ilana.m/turnbaby.htm. Do check it out ~

Hope that baby can turn his body soon when we go for the next check-up.

On the other note, during my last trip back to Taiping, Hubby's grandma bought me some ingredients to cook a drink at home myself. I do not know how to name the leaves, so I took the pictures of the ingredients needed to boil for this drink to share in my blog. Grandma told me this leaves are very common and can be found at any wet market.

~ The leaves ~

 

~ Raw Barley, Gingko Nuts and 'Gula Melaka' ~

Grandma says I can take this drink weekly as 'cooling tea' function during the end of my pregnancy period. She says according to the 'old wives tales', this drink can prevent baby from getting jaundice. I did not try this during Kimi's time, so this round no harm trying it out. So far I have boiled the drink once and the taste a bit weird. Luckily the 'gula melaka' taste is quite nice which covers up the leaves smell.

I will try to boil it another time during this coming weekend :)

Shoppings for Baby

Date: 9th October 2011

After my monthly check-up on 8th October, the next day we decided to go and shop for our baby. As our 2nd baby is a baby boy (according to the scanned results), so a lot of things do not really need to buy as we can take it from Kimi's belongings. There are some things which can be passed down from Kimi.

Milk bottles cannot be shared so we bought the Newborn Set for Baby... It took me some time to find this newborn set. I had been to a couple of Baby Fairs and a few shops selling baby stuffs but it was either sold out or no stock. I finally found this set at Mothercare, Mid Valley branch. So I quickly grabbed it. There were a few colours to choose from. I chose Blue for Baby. Hope he will like it.

Besides that, Daddy also bought a couple of mittens and booties for Baby. The 2 pairs of shirts and pants I bought earlier at supermarket. Most of the shirts for Baby will take from Kimi’s smaller size shirts and washed them for reuse purposes.

During my previous holidays, I bought a few small things for the future Baby. Although at that time, we still had no news on my 2nd pregnancy yet, I told myself, "Never mind, can buy first, perhaps not long after that I am able to use them..." Hehe... This is actually giving myself some excuses to shop! But it is ok, I finally get to use them soon :)

Baby, Mummy is going to wash them and let you wear them soon once you arrive to this wonderful world!

Mummy still needs to check on the preparations list and see what else is needed to welcome you... Hope you will like some of the things that Daddy and Mummy have prepared for you ~

Nutritious Weeks

After the last pregnancy check-up at my Week 28, Hubby decided to temporary send Kimi back to Taiping under the care of my PIL so that I can fully concentrate on taking care of myself. Besides to rest more, most of all, is to eat more!

My Gynae advices me to drink more water in order to increase the level of amniotic fluid in my body. Baby is on his ideal weight at Week 28. Just that in case of emergency and I need to deliver early, my Gynae hopes that the baby's weight is good enough so that he does not need to go through any extra treatments. Thanks for her advice on this!

Besides letting myself to rest more, I tried to cook some nutritious food at home for myself to eat. Hubby drove me around to find some nutritious dessert as well. Haha, I think this is more on letting me to have the privileges and excuses to eat whatever I want.... Besides that, I asked around from some friends to share their experience with me on how can I let the baby to gain more weight in a shorter time and how to increase more amniotic fluid in my body. Thanks for all the advices and tips! I really appreciate them ~

Cooking at home is not seldom thing for me to do, just that the menus I chose to cook for myself for now are some lighter and less oily food . Thanks to the unlimited Fish supply sent by my Parents all the way from Pontian! I have the freshest fish to eat all these while ~

Some of the Food I had on my Nutritious Week ~
Fish & Pork Porridge, Stir Fried Tau Fu with Veges, Steamed Fish and 'Mee Suah' Soup ~

Dessert ~ Rice Balls in Steamed Fresh Milk, ‘Double-boiled' Snow Jelly in Fresh Milk ~

Coconut Water - Some friends told me by drinking more coconut water can indirectly helps me to increase more amniotic fluid. I do not know how accurate is this, but no harm trying it!

RM3.00 for one coconut... Is it expensive?
I bought it at a stall near Kampung Chempaka. I remembered during Kimi's time, it only cost RM2.50 for one if not mistaken.

'Kampung Chicken' Soup with Red Dates ~
I boiled it in a slow cooker for 2 hours. A very sweet and delicious soup although you drink it plain in this way.... I like it a lot!

My friend told me this soup can help the baby to gain more weight, so I decided to try it. I do not know how effective is this chicken soup in helping the baby to gain to weight. But I drink it every alternate days for a week. No matter what method I use or eat, ultimate aim is to let baby and myself grow healthier!

Really hope that my next check-up, both baby and I can be in a good condition :)

@ Week 28

Date: 29th September 2011

I had my monthly check-up today. This time, Hubby had the time to go with me. Luckily he was with me, otherwise I seriously do not know how to explain what Gynae had told me today and repeated the same thing to him again.

Blood pressure and urine test were all OK. Just that I had previous record of high blood pressure during my first pregnancy, Gynae always reminded me to monitor my blood pressure at home. So same thing, scanning process to be done. Gynae checked every parts of the baby for us and this round, the baby seems like smiling to us this time compare to the last check-up. Gynae captured a nice photo for us to bring back home. He is weighing at 1.3kgs at Week 28. She told us this is an ideal weight at this stage.

This round check-up, I was told that my amniotic fluid seems lesser than the normal level. Gynae explained a lot to us on this issue. She advised me to drink lots of water. Besides lots of water, is still lots of water. She informed us on the chances of early delivery, as insufficient of amniotic fluid is one of the systoms to show that I might have higher chances to deliver earlier. She needs me to eat more so that baby can gain weight faster (just in case really suddenly need to go for early delivery, the baby’s weight is on the right track). She discussed with us on the baby fees in hospital, etc. And then suggested to us to also go for check-up in a government hospital, just in case baby really delivers earlier than the EDD, I have a reference there and can transfer my delivery or baby in the hospital anytime. She gave us a doctor name in UMMC and told me to make an appointment there. I took a blood test during this round check-up to check on my liver and kidney functions.

The supplements to bring back home during this time check-up ~
This 3 supplements cost me RM95.00. Not too sure is it expensive or not…

I remembered when Kimi’s time, I seemed to be having the same problem. But the Gynae at that time, did not inform me so many information. I thank God that I was equipped with these information, at least Hubby and I know what to do in case emergency really happens.

The sad thing is, when I get to know this, I am caught in the situation where I find myself is not acting fair to both my sons. After this check-up, Hubby has decided to send Kimi back to Taiping under the care of my parents-in-law so that I can have sufficient of rest and enough food intake every single day. With Kimi by my side, I do agree that, I have neglected my daily food intake especially during dinner time.

By sending Kimi back to Taiping, although I assume that I can have enough rest, however, I seem to have taken away Kimi’s happiness by staying close to his Daddy and Mummy and indirectly took away the fun he had from the Montessori too.

By not sending Kimi back to Taiping, I seem to have taken away the chances of giving my 2nd baby a healthy body and to deliver him  in his full term.

Why can’t I have the best of both worlds?

As a Mummy, I wish both of them Good! I hope to give the best to them… But by giving the best to both of them, sometimes we are only left with limited choices and decisions need to be made. It is really a pity for sending Kimi back to Taiping now after he has settled down in his Montessori. All the efforts and perseverance that I have put in for the past 3 months seem like a waste for now. However, if I do not choose to do this, I might be taking the risk of having an early delivery for my 2nd Baby. So for the situation now, I can only opt for one.

I pray to God, to always protect us in good health and happiness especially to both my sons. And for now, hope that baby can stay healthily in me until his full term before he comes out to see this wonderful world! Baby, please be obedient ya :)

The Picture Company Membership Renewed!

One day when we passed by One Utama, Hubby saw the Membership Sales promotions at The Picture Company. So he asked me to find out what is it all about. I called up The Picture Company and got to know that they are having the 'Buy 1 Free 1' promotions in the month of August. When I got to know this deal, the month of August only left with a few days. So without delay further, I went to One Utama after work last night to renew my membership which was expired for almost a year already... Initially, we thought of renew it in November this year so that we can use it to shoot for our 2nd Baby's portraits. But since now they are having promotions, Hubby says this is a Good Buy! Hehe :) He asked me to go and renew it ~ He said we must be fair for both our children... Hurray… One Family can have portraits shoots soon ~

With this 'Buy 1 Free 1' Promotions, you can either give the 'Free 1' as a gift to your friend or extend the 'Free 1' to another year of membership for yourself. So I use this promotions for myself instead.

Membership Privileges can be read at:
http://www.picturecompany.com.my/perks.html

Annual Membership Fee:
RM280 x 30% discount (Renewal Membership discount) = RM196.00

Since I am renewal membership, so I only need to pay RM196.00 for the 2 years Membership! A very worth buy ~

A new gift from Daddy to our second baby!

It is a Blue News!

For this second pregnancy, I have quite different experience during my every monthly check-ups. The Gynae will discuss and update us on the pregnancy progress and show to us every parts of the baby during every check-up. During the last 2 check-ups, she even saved the baby pictures and short video clips in a CD instead of printed out the 4D scanned results for us. So nice and considerate of her...I was very excited when I received the CD on the spot after the scanned process. I did not have this during Kimi's time. So once I got back to office after the check-up, I immediately opened up the CD and viewed the pictures again from my laptop :)

~ Baby's progress on 11th July 2011 ~

It is a BLUE news!
Gynae informs us that our 2nd Baby is a BOY during my check-up at 15 weeks+ !!

My Second Pregnancy Eat and Use:

Starting from early pregnancy, my usual dry skin become even drier makes my tummy and legs very itchy. I tried a few moisturizing creams which I bought from the pharmacies in hoping that can cure the dryness and itchiness but to no avail. I very often need to scratch the skin which ends up make the skin problem worse. After spoke to a few friends on this problem, I finally decided to buy the cream that were highly recommended by them to try it out.

~ Clarins Stretch Mark Control Cream and Body Treatment Oil ~

 

This cream and oil really save my skin from the dryness and itchiness. After a week I put them on day and night, my skin really improves quite a lot. Even though there were a few days when I was too busy taking care of Kimi and forgot to apply the cream and oil, but my skin no longer feel so itchy. I no longer need to scratch my skin until I can feel the pain on my skin anymore. It is really amazing for me! I finally find a solution for my dry skin during this pregnancy.

 

~ Supplements: Vitamins, Fish Oil and Calcium Pills ~

 

Besides folic acid, I took the daily Vitamins during my early pregnancy. Starting in July during my monthly check-up at 15 weeks+, I started to take the Fish Oil and Calcium Pills as advised by the Gynae.

~ Blood Pressure Monitor ~

* I bought this Blood Pressure Monitor at a very good deal during the promotions at Watsons in June!

I told Gynae on my first pregnancy experience on high blood pressure. She asked me to get a blood pressure monitor at home so that I can monitor the blood pressure myself at home whenever I can. We find this idea very good, as I do not only rely on the reading during every time check-up to decide whether I need to be on medications or not. At least with my own monitoring at home, I no need to everyday worry whether is my blood pressure high on today or not.

Every time whenever I go for my monthly check-up, my blood pressure always seems higher than normal. Perhaps I am too excited to see my 2nd baby whenever there is a check-up. Hehe :) But when I monitor my blood pressure at home and record them down in a paper for my Gynae to see, the blood pressure is always normal reading. So as of now, no need to take any actions yet unless my home blood pressure reading is on the high side. Hope my blood pressure can be normal all the time so that I no need to be under medications.

~ This is how I look like at 22 Weeks & 5 Days ~

Besides having very bad cough for one-month long and now in the recovering stage, I am enjoying my every single day of my second pregnancy’s journey now ~

First Trimester Prenatal Screening

Finally, I try to find some time to sit down and jot down my pregnancy journey for Baby No. 2. As I was too busy taking care of a sick toddler at home, I think I miss out a lot of this little’s one journey… So today, I try to dig out some of the memories that I can so that I can write down in my blog for me to remember the process.

Date: 10th June 2011

As explained by my Gynae during the last monthly check-up, today I had the First Trimester Prenatal Screening which is known as the Nuchal Scan. I think during Kimi’s time, I did not do this scan. So as discussed and recommended by the Gynae, after I did some reading and asked some opinions from friends on this scan, Hubby decided that I should go for it. I was told by the Gynae that this scan best to be done during the 11th to 13th weeks of pregnancy. So I did mine at my 12 weeks+ of pregnancy. I got the scan report on the spot and baby showed low risk on down syndrome. It was totally a new experience for me and Hubby. Perhaps this was our first time doing this screening, we really very impressed throughout the whole scanning process. Together with this Nuchal Scan, I did the First Trimester Blood Test as well on this day. But the down side is that, to do both the scan and the blood test together are a bit pricey. It costs us RM710.00 excluded the consultation fee.

~ Our 2nd Baby during the Third Monthly Check-Up ~

I personally prefer this Gynae more than the previous one which I had during Kimi’s time. Every time I have my check-up, she shares information with me which I did not know during my first pregnancy. I think I gain a little bit more knowledge during this second pregnancy :)

Tokyo Street at Pavilion KL

06.08.2011 - Today’s evening we decided to visit the newly opened ‘Tokyo Street’ located at Level 6, Pavilion KL. As Kimi is still having his coughs, we do not stay long there. I took some photos and see what’s inside the street, then we headed back home after dinner.

There are a few Japanese restaurants, one bakery, some local Japan’s delights and souvenirs shops, and also Daiso is in the street too. For a full list of what’s in the street, can view it at this link: Tokyo Street ~

After scouting around, I decided to try out the ‘Mochi Sweets’. I saw a long queue when I was there, so out of curiosity, I joined the crowd too :) I bought myself one Red Bean (RM3.50) and one Mango Yogurt (RM4.00) to try out.  I think perhaps I like to eat Mochi very much, that’s why I find them very delicious! There are very soft and smooth with very yummy fillings in it. Thumbs up !

Today also marks Kimi’s 23rd months’ old ~ Time flies… One more month to go before he turns 2 years old.

Kimi seems like a big boy now ~ He can now take a bread and eat on his own (but of course he cannot finish up the whole bread, munch abit then don’t want already)… But luckily, despite sick for so long, his appetite is still considered quite OK. Hope that Kimi can fully recover from all his sicknesses very soon!!

~ A little update on me…. I am currently at my Week 20 ~

Okay… a clearer view on how I look like at Week 20 of pregnancy’s journey ~ I have gone through half of the journey and another half more to go!! Can see a small tummy on me already. Very soon, I am going to meet with my baby No. 2… Waiting eagerly for the day to arrive ~

The Second ‘Double Lines’ News

Finally I have some time to sit down and blog about this happy news of mine. I think I will be very busy starting next week to adapt into a new daily timetable, so I think I better blog it down first before my busy and hectic life starts...

Date: 10th April 2011

When my period was due on April, I bought myself a test stripe and sad to find out that it was negative. Again, it was not the results which I was always longing for. I told myself, Well, don’t be too sad… Must think positively. Perhaps, the next time, I will see the double lines very soon.

Date: 24th April 2011

Period still not yet come.  I don’t know why, perhaps it is natural woman’s instinct… I feel that I might be pregnant. This feeling seems to be very strong. So, I told Hubby why not we test it again. And, this round, I saw the double lines on the test stripe!! It was a great news for us!! Superbly happy and excited…. But however, due to the negative test that we had earlier on 2 weeks ago, in order to prove that the double lines test was not a false alarm, we tested it again in another few more days before decided the date to visit the Gynae to seek professional advice on this pregnancy.

Both tests were the results that we had been waiting for ~
Finally, the ‘little rabbit’ baby is slowly hopping into our lives !

Date: 6th May 2011

Both of us took a day off today to accompany Kimi who was in KL. Since it was an off day, we decided to visit the Gynae to verify the accuracy of this news. We brought Kimi with us to witness this special moment together. When I was lying down on the bed to wait for the doctor to do the scanning for me, my heart beat very fast! So worry that the doctor would tell me, it was a false alarm… Praying hard ~~

Thank God, it was a piece of good news! We saw the tiny little dot on the screen and heard the baby’s heart beats as well. It was really a very unforgettable moment for the THREE of us! Haha…. not too sure if Kimi could remember this day or not, or whether he knew what was happening or not, but I was very glad that Kimi was there to share our happiness ~

On this day, the Gynae informed me that I was about 6 weeks++ pregnant. EDD will be on 23rd December 2011. Wow, we will be expecting our little baby during the Christmas week! Can’t wait for this special day to arrive…

Our dearest Baby, your Daddy, Mummy and brother Kimi are waiting eagerly for your arrival in December ~ See you soon !
