Dancing Samuel

Here's a clip of little Samuel doing some dance moves while in bed.
He's still cheery despite the drip tube tied to his hand. :)
What a strong little boy!
*kiss kiss*

A BIG WELCOME TO BB SAMUEL! :)

Baby popped out on 16th sept in the wee hours of the morning.
I had been having contractions for the past few days and it was getting bad to worse!
On Tuesday night, t got real bad and Mami M was telling Dadi D that this might be the day! (coz the pain was really bad :()

So on early wednesday morning, we decided to head to the hospital when the contractions got closer together and way more intense. Somehow managed to hobble to the car but not before stopping 2-3 times along the way. Phew!!

Got to the hospital at 5+am and was told that I was already dilated till about 6cm! Yikes! The nurses asked if I was thinking of giving birth at home coz they felt I was in a little late. A quick check and BB was still breached so I was mentally prepared that when Doc O came, I'd be going for a c-section. :S

So yes, I ended up being cut up... :S and BB was out in a quick flash. Everything happened so fast. BB Samuel weighed 2.1kg at birth (he had just reached 37weeks) and was 45cm long. :)
Phew! another new journey begins now....

Early??

Seems like BB is excited to make a grand entrance and may be coming out earlier than expected! Doc Ong says it could be any of these few days now, which is a little scary but exciting. Not sure if we're all ready yet... hmm...
Dadi D thought The Day would be today and started making preparations and packing his bag and all.
Mami M is now having contractions every night :( and that's 2 nights already.
At least she got to spend her birthday before popping though!
Wwaa tonight will be another painful night... :( not looking forward to it.

Oh BB, dun keep surprising us leh! And if you want to come out, you got to turn first pls!!

Week 36

We've moved into week 36!
At our last visit baby was 1.9kg. A slight improvement in weight there :)

And we're left with 22 days! Golly!! That's probably going to pass in a flash...
The C-section date has been set for Sept 30th.
We had wanted 1st October, (Children's Day! :)) but, hahaha, i think many other are thinking the same and it seems Doc Ong is having a busy day that day already, so we decided to settle for a day earlier.

Not sure if I'm excited, worried or what.. hahaha, maybe I'm just confused??
What have i left out? Have I gotten everything I need? So much thoughts popping about in my head.
And of course, the big question.... Baby...are you going to turn??? :P
Come on! Dun keep me guessing like this... the suspense is killing me!

Week 35

We're into week 35 now!
This lil bump, hmmm is not so little anymore.

At out last visit to the gynae he weighed 1.6kg, and I think he'll probably be heavier when we go for our next visit this Friday.
Been experiencing lotsa Braxton Hicks contractions lately and they kind of contort my tummy into funny shapes. Hehehe... luckily they dun really hurt much. :P

Oh and did anyone mention about the length of the shopping list for a little bump?!
Oh golly, there's like an endless list of things to get!
Just when you thought you're done, there'll be some other new item that pops up again!
Baby's cot, car seat, sterilizer, clothing, toiletries.... blah, blah, blah... the list just doesn't seem to end!

Oh and many thanks to Aunty Sharon, Aunty Evelyn and Uncle Justin for the lovely car seat!! Now someone lil lump will finally have his own little orange seat in the car! :)


We've got a few weeks left to finish up shopping!
