Jaden at Day 10

Jaden turns 10 days old today.. it also marks tat hubby has to report back to work.. it's only half a day, n i already miss him so much liao..

Today at home, only left MIL n me, to take care of Jaden.. last night, Jaden slept with MIL, thus hubby n I can have a better rest.. though it was a bit funny that how come that night Jaden wasn't with us in the room, as we had somehow gotten used to have him in the room with us.. but hubby really need the rest so that he can have energy to work today..
After 10 days, Jaden's umbilical cord finally dropped off just now... MIL said it'll b easier to bath him n wrap him with diapers or pampers.. coz it can b a hinder to have the cord hanging around the tummy area..

Seeing him growing day by day.. just felt that life is such a miracle, esp giving birth to this precious gem of ours.. he is a blessing from God i know.. a gift for me n Wentong.. All i wish for is Jaden will be healthy.. coz nothing beats health.. We'd love to spend his growing days with him, n hope he can have a wonderful childhood!

i'm so sorry my hubby

dunno y.. yesterday night i felt so tired tat i couldn't make myself wake up n get off the bed n attend to Jaden.. it was hubby who woke up the whole night to feed Jaden milk n changed his diapers.. wat happened to me?

people always tell me during confinement, dun do anything but to rest n rest n rest.. how is it possible? i also helped out in making milk for Jaden, washing his bottles, changing his diapers too.. but yesterday night i really didn't do anything..

Hubby didn't wake me up.. the whole night he took care of Jaden.. until 7am+ then he can sleep.. coz Jaden needs to b fed n changed every 1-2hours.. so even if we get to sleep, is also sleep tat little while, then gotta wake up again.. whole night is like tat..
I felt so guilty, hubby needs to report back to work tmr liao.. n his work is 12hour shift, so he will b very tired.. it's been 1 week of confinement liao, which also means hubby didn't rest well for the past 1 week.. he managed to catch some sleep ard 7+ near to 8am.. but 10am+ woke up liao.. coz when MIL was bathing Jaden, he was crying so loudly tat hubby would not want to sleep again.. so there he was, awake..

Tonight MIL will stay overnight at our house to attend to Jaden, coz hubby needs rest in order to work tmr.. hope my precious hubby can have adequate rest later tonight..hope MIL can fully concentrate on taking care of our Jaden when we both report back to work force.. i can't just use all my energy n concentration on Jaden, as my hubby is also as important.. he has helped me a lot during this 1 week, n i'm so thankful.. he rather he himself tired also want me to go n rest instead.. after 1st month confinement, mayb will b better.. i'm so sorry n guilty hubby.. sorry

Happy 5th year anniversary

today marks the 5th year anniversary for hubby n I... so fast, we have been together for 5 long years.. every year we would celebrate this occasion, but not this year as i'm still doing my confinement..

finally, i've marked the 1st week of confinement.. 3 more weeks to go... hubby gave me a blue rose a few days ago.. he said it's for me to thank me for going thru all the pain n process in preg til the arrival of Jaden...

This year's anniversary not just consist the both of us, but the addition of Jaden into our family.. Hubby loves him very much.. kept talking to Jaden tat we r his parents, n he is our precious son.. though no present, no good meal, no shopping, but we r very happy.. all bcoz we have Jaden with us..

I'm so glad to have hubby b by my side for these critical few days of confinement.. he is going to report back to work this weekend.. which marks that i won't have his company the whole daytime, can only see him after work.. i will definitely miss him so much, miss his hug, miss his voice, miss his presence, miss his kiss... but no choice, living in s'pore is like tat, we gotta work to keep living.. though hubby doesn't earn much, but i am contented bcoz i have his care n concern, i have his love, i have his company.. wat does it make us women happy when our hubby is always not by our side??

I'm very contented to have Bong as my lifetime partner.. n i will always love him n our family with the whole of my heart.. HAPPY 5th ANNIVERSARY, hubby!!!

Arrival of Bong Jing You, Jaden

after 38 weeks of pregnancy, i've finally given birth to my baby boy Jaden on 21/11/2008 at NUH...

I have to thank so many people who r very concern about me.. after i gave birth, quite a number of them came to NUH n visit me n my Jaden of course... I dun find it tiring to entertain my friends n relatives who came the other day, coz i also want to share the joy with them, so i dun find them disturbing me..

After 3 days in hosp, both Jaden n I were discharged.. actually i can discharge 1 day earlier than Jaden, as he need to stay 1 more day for observation, but hubby n I can't bear to leave him alone there, so decided to stay 1 more night to wait for him.. hubby was with me the whole delivery til discharge.. ever since i was admitted to the hosp on 20/11/2008, hubby didn't have much sleep n rest.. he need to accompany me in the hosp.. n when at home, Jaden kept crying in the mid of the night, only managed to sleep in the morn, n thus poor hubby had to keep him company n take care of him til morn...

n daytime hubby need to handle some things for Jaden as i'm doing confinement, no one to share the burden with him.. he is very tired.. even daytime if he come back, he can only sleep for a few hours.. n then the rest of the night he has to keep an eye on Jaden.. hubby applied leave to stay at home with me to take care of Jaden.. but next week he needs to report back to work liao, it will b even more tiring n taxing on him.. It's all bcoz of our precious Jaden..

I hope Jaden can adjust to the correct momentum soon, so that both hubby n I won't b so tired n exhausted..

gynae visit tomorrow

i need to go back to my gynae tmr, as i mentioned b4 tat to check my water level... was feeling rather nervous.. dunno water level got decrease further or not leh.. gam jiong...

if drop further, then need to induce labour.. oh my..

these few days kept getting the feeling of contraction, but not the real delivery pain.. tats y had a strong hunch that our son will come out n join the family this week, or end of this month... in my 38th week already, he is considered full term liao... so it's also time for him to come out liao loh..

many ppl said normally 1st child will deliver early ard 2-3 weeks b4 EDD.. i'm just 2 weeks away from EDD... hope my boy doesn't give me a hard time.. some colleagues saw me still energetic, commented tat i may have a smooth delivery, or will deliver very fast.. i oso hope so loh.. coz i dunno how much i can tahan with the pain.. coz many ppl told me the side effects of epidural, which made me ponder if i should opt for it or not.. but of course, if threshold of pain is high, then can dun choose epidural.. but how much i can stand?? i oso dunno... so as one of my colleague advised, see wat my gyane suggest, then decide..

i hope tmr's checkup is ok lah.. i dun wish anything bad to happen.. all i want is my son to b healthy leh.. i want him to discharge from hosp with me n go home with me leh...

Waiting for delivery

last thur went for gynae apptment, finally after so many months, i've reached the stage of 'anytime to deliver'...

water level check wasn't tat ideal.. gynae said must b above 10, but mine was 8.8.. so she said next thur must go back to her again.. if continue to drop, then i gonna admit to hosp for induce labour liao..

next week still gonna go back to sch for staff development week.. which starts at 8.30am daily.. so sianzz...

til today, still dun have the sign of delivery.. dunno when this precious son of ours wana come out... gynae scanned n said there's no much space for our son to move around in the body.. mayb due to the petite size of his mummy.. oppss.. haha... i'm still thinking if i can bear with the labour pain, or i can just simply opt for epidural... i just hope the delivery is smooth n baby is healthy.. so tat when i discharge, he can also go home with us together.. daddy n mummy are waiting patiently for your arrival ok?? hope u can b a good n obedient boy!

Outfits that MIL bought

MIL came back from Taiwan a few days ago... yesterday, hubby needed to work again, so i'm alone during the weekends AGAIN... cannot stand his supervisor... last month told hubby if he worked that Sat, this month won't ask him liao, coz they knew i'm delivering soon.. n now what?? still asked him to support for 1 saturday leh!!! Sats are very impt to me.. coz Sunday is his shift, i understand n had gotten used, so it's only Sat that we are left with to spend with each other... i was obviously unhappy when i got to know that a few days ago, n hubby took quite some time to pacify me...

As usual, I acc MIL to go eat breakfast, then go over to their house... gugu came quite late, then we played mj as usual lah.. MIL showed me the 2 outfits that she got for our boy.. 1 is bee outfit, 1 is my fav blue colour outfit.. it's those kind of 1 suit.. i always think that babies wear whole suit will look nicer n cuter.. i love the bee outfit... but he can only wear when he's around 3-4 months old...

Til now, i still dun have any signs of delivering... but everyday will feel my boy's movement in the body.. sometimes so hard that i kept whining to hubby.. n he had to come over n talk to bb.. i hope he gives me the signal when hubby is with me at home.. dun happen in school leh.. i still can't go on leave.. n most imptly dun wana touch on my maternity leave.. so gonna tolerate.. but we r indeed looking forward to his arrival.. hubby hopes he can look like him, while i hope he has my nose n eyes.. character wise, as good temper as hubby loh.. but not as lazy as him.. ahhaha!!

Today's prog also quite good lah.. going for Yanfang's wedding in the evening at Furama Riverfront, which i will go the 3rd time... looking forward to see the pretty bride!!

A place for my baby to sleep

we had gotten the stuff ready to welcome our boy!! finally is the sleeping place for him..

actually we had gotten his playpen ard 2 weeks ago, but haven fixed it until yesterday... n also went to buy the mattress, bed sheet n protector.. the pillows n stuff gotten a few weeks ago too..

after fixing the playpen, both hubby n I were happy with it.. it's very easy to fix actually.. less than 5 min n it's done...

I gotta wash the cot sheet this weekend.. just to prepare to lay the mattress.. n it'll b perfect.. we dun wana get the normal mattress, so got this kind of more exp one, which is more airy for our boy to sleep on... n it cost us $130.. wa piang... but for his own good, also must buy lah... no choice..

Raising a child is not cheap hoh.. giving birth to a child also not cheap.. buying baby stuff is never cheap too.. wa piang.. everything in s'pore so exp... hope my boy can b healthy, n can come home n see his playpen.. n sleep well on it too!!

Down with flu n on MC for 4 days

Was down with bad flu today.. hubby asked me not to go work, n got to see a doc today,n there i went..

no fever, but was badly down with flu.. cold n cough.. blocked nose.. doc said i need adequate rest since i'm so near to delivery.. so asked me to stay at home n rest for the rest of the week.. tmr morn will still go back to sch to finish off some things b4 i go back home..

Had slept so much today. mum was on leave already,so went over as hubby scared no one to take care of me.. went over n slept most of the daytime.. mum cooked porridge.. eat already go sleep again..

Doc said if fever comes in within these few days, then i may need to go on longer mc.. i told her my leave to stay at home to wait for delivery was rejected by my gynae.. she was shocked to hear that.. coz my work for this year will stop when i'm in my 38th week.. so i actually requested to start resting from 37th week, which is next week.. but gynae refused to give in, as she said my medical status everything was ok, there is no reason for her to give me such a long rest to stay at home.. i refused to start my pre-maternity leave, tats y need to slog til my 38th week.. but who knows, by now i fell sick liao..

My MC for this year is totally finished if not wrong... so i oso dunno wat to do... initially wana throw mc during the 38th week, but now bcoz of the flu bug, my last few days of mc was used up.. but doc said bcoz scared my flu bug will affect bb, so has to stay at home n recuperate fully.. hopefully bb is ok...
