Day 6th of my baby

Today my princess went to do the blood test for Jaundice, luckily she is just 115 (150 and above is consider high and may need to be admitted), she is so brave, no crying at all when the needle poke into her foot, good gal :) Tomorrow will need to go for another round of test to see if the level keep going down and if so, she will be okay then :P

Second thing was about the my breast milk..i keep pumping out every 4 to 5 hours but it seems like my production is pretty slow...keke...still maintain at 1Oz only. However it is much more better than 3 days ago where i cant collect anything as the milks is just so little and thick, it's basically just stick on the container and nothing much i can do but just have to wash it over :(

Finally i wanna share the news about my princess's umbilical cord. It has dropped off ! Old folks say we must keep it inside the red packet and keep it together with our money or jewelry so that we can become more and more prosperous...hehe...i dont really believe it but will still follow lar :)

See the photo below... :P

The Moment...

Finally the moment that we waited for 9 months has came. On 18th Sept 09, i admited hospital around 9am to induce as scheduled. I cant wait for any delivery symptom because i was having diabetes during pregnancy, and doctor was worry if there might be any complication and thus he advise me to deliver earlier.

At around 11am, the induce start to take effect on me, the contraction come slowly but it is a mild one and i can handle it easily with deep breathing. This process went on until around 12.30 pm adn doctor came for the 3rd checking. This time, he cut and make my water bag burst..wow, it was a painful experience which make me shout out. After that doctor was worry, he told us that baby has shitting a bit and my amniotic fluid was not enough and my chances of Ceasarian is very hour although i can try natural birth for another 4 more hours. I was kind of worry after hearing what he said and ask the doctor why dont we go for Ceasarian straight away? and he agree with what i said. I dont want to suffer another 4 hours pain before going for Ceasarian..

So i discuss this with JJ and very fast we decided to take up Ceasarian at that moment.

During the time the stuff preparing me for the opeartion, my contraction become worst...it was so painful (both my stomach and back bone) that normal deep breathing can't do any help anymore and the operation room i guess was so chill that both of my legs are actually shaking...

I yield and shout for pain but no body seems to care for me....i tell myself i must come down and i do fast breathing now...inhale and exhale very quickly and looks like this technique works, i feel less pain now. Finally i was given the oxygen mask and after a fews breath, i had felt into deep deep sleep...

When the next time i wake up, i hear so much noise around me, i try to open my eye but i couldnt do so...i hear JJ sound calling me and i keep asking " how is Kai Shuen, How is Kai Shuen?"...and i hear JJ reply that she is okay and she is 3.25kg...then i ask what time she delivered and what time is it now...after i have gotten the answer, i think i have no more strength to ask anymore questions but felt into sleep again....

It was truely a very special experience for me...first time being mother and first time going through operation...but everything seems worthwhile when i saw my cute little princess :)

For those mothers who went through the normal delivery without epidural or any other pain relief help, I truely respect YOU, you are so wonderful!

3rd day of my maternity leave

I feel so stressless and happy, finally got chance to really relax, away from work for a week's time before my new challenges come... :)
This few days, i enjoyed reading the stuff that i like, doing things that i need to do, sleep anytime i want, hehehe....what a life...

Doctor keep advising me to go for earlier delivery due to my diabetes problem, so most probably by this friday i will go to deliver even there is no symptom. But thing is hard to predict, who knows before friday, kai Shuen already want to come out to see this world? :)

凯宣，我们要一起加油哦! :)

A Special families gathering

Yesterday was a memorable day. It was my 3rd aunty's smallest son wedding dinner and almost all relatives were attending. Her daughther from canada, her eldest son from singapore, her second son from HOng kong all came back to have this family reunion. SHe was so happy and after a bit of drink, start to dance on the floor...see how enjoy she was :)

My 2 sisters also came back from far, Sarawak and Muar to celebrate together this special event. Everyone is busy taking photo...See my dad in pick shirt and his twin brother on the right, arent they look identical? :)

And we just discover that my pretty nice was such a good singer and she had got the style ler...like a little super start :)

It was really a meaningful and fun reunion which will surely remembered by all of us forever :)

Last working day...Yippie

Today is my last working day before i go for long long maternity leave. It is 2 months but i took my annual leave, so it should be around 2.5months in total. I am so exicted about long vacation and also the new family member coming soon.
However, just before i leave, i am facing some down site in my career..dont ask me what is that but it is very dissapointing, at the same time, i am happy about it. Cause it is a good learning for me and i believe i can recover from it and becaome better in future.

I will definetly fully utilised this period to rest, to take care of my baby and at the same time thinking of what i want to do next...a lot to do? Nope, i dont think so, i am full of energy now and i believe multitasking is my skill that i have been loosing it quite awhile back which i am going to find it back :)

Wish me luck for a smooth delivery and a better career ahead, fren! :)

5 more working days

I will start my maternity leave after 5 more working days. Dunno why i was so looking forward to you, the days without needed to go on jam and rushing to work. Who knows after my baby delivered and i had to take care of her, then i might miss working pula...hehe...that is human character lor...never satisfied with current condition :)
After my maternity leave, there has to be changes to my work life which i am very much expecting it, but just that at this moment i am not sure what is going to happen (hehe...just let you guy be curious about it first). I hope the change will lead me to a better career and get more satisfaction from work. But of course at that time i think baby and family is the most important focus :)
Whatever it is, the event is coming round the corner and i am getting more and more excited+nervous+happy+......a lot of mixed feeling :)
