A note for dear Samuel

Hi my dear little boy!

Just a note that mummy misses you very much. I hope when u read this when you are bigger, you will understand better what was going on when your mei mei Sharlene was born.
Mummy and Daddy both love you a lot. We put you with Grandma so that you will be well taken care off while mummy and daddy try our best to cope with mei mei. She's very small and not easy to look after now.
Plus you are not well and can't be too near mei mei in case she gets your germs.
We hope you will love mei mei as much as we love you too! I'm sure mei mei will grow to love kir kor samuel n mummy looks forward to the day both of you can play together.
Miss my cheerful little boy n see you soon my dear! Muack :*

Love, mummy.

The 11/11/11 baby

Little Sharlene chose her own birthdate. A nice date it is!:)
We had one false alarm to the hospital and a night of bad contractions for mummy before her grand entrance.
Went to the hospital on 11/11 at 10+ am after Sammy went to sch.
Nothing much took place between that till 5pm when dr Ong came, except for a nasty 'anema-dustbin' incident and mummy requesting for epidural around 1.
We were glad we manage to get dr chong in the end after all it was a busy day of births.:) painless epidural!! Yay!
So we waited... 5cm after epidural... Then dr Ong ordered a drip n we moved along to 6cm...
At 5pm when he came he said baby was ready to be out! What a surprise!
So everything was made ready n Dr Ong assisted with forceps so as not to stress mummy's previous csection wound n with 2 big pushes out came the little girl Sharlene with a loud cry!
3.1kg n 52cm long!:))
Smooth delivery we thank God for! N we also got a single bed rm that we hoped for!
God is great!:)

Waiting game

On Saturday, my mucus plug came out... Although I haven't had any contractions as yet apart from the occasional Braxton hicks, seems we might not hv to wait too long for the little girl's arrival.
Samuel seems way clingier than ever, and it cant help but make me feel he's picking up some 'arrival vibes' too.
So here we are, playing the waiting game... Seeing which birth date the little girl would like to pick. Meanwhile I'm trying to psych myself up for the 'action' ahead! (gulp!)

123, abc, why n mine!

At 26 months, samuel is now able to count from 1-10. He's getting a hang if his ABCs too. It's really entertaining to watch/hear him.:)
He's has also leant to say "mine!" and "why??". These are a bit scary... :p

Week 37

We are in week 37 now and according to the ultrasound, lil girl is 2.8kg this week. This is making mummy rather worried that she'll b a big bb.
Off late she's been rather active... Maybe coz it's getting kinda cramped in there.
Hmmm, Think we have everything more or less ready for her arrival...
Look, I even made her some bitty booties!:)
