Boring Days

2 more weeks to end my 1st part of maternity leave. I have so many things to do, yet i'm unsure when i can begin doing those things.

I want to start my exercise, have ard 15kg of weight to lose! I'm only 2kg away from my 2nd pre-pregnancy weight, but hb wanted me to slim down to 1st pre-pregnancy weight! When can i start my swimming, aerobics, kick-boxing, running & sit up exercises???

I have 3 more spas sessions which i wan to utilise finish. Can i start to go for normal spas now?

Facial.. my face is ok.. but i still got some un-utilised facial sessions, only thing is i nid to travel all the way to town for facial. A bit lazy!

Slimming session. I previously bought 1 slimming session at a promo rate during my pregnancy. I wonder can i use the session now (as in my uterus is back in shape to start massaging)?

So much things on my iteniary, yet unsure if i can start doing now? Anyone can advise me???

Jia En's "Release"

Ever since JE reaches full mth old, she has been travelling out of the hse often. On her full mth day, she went to her Ah Ma's hse to pray to ancestors. The nxt day (sunday), she went to her Wai Po's hse to pray to my family ancestors. Follow by a short trip to HuaXia Taimaobi for a botak hair cut. Hb say her hair is too little as compared to WL, so he insisted on shaving all her hair at 1 mth old, so her hair can re-grow more beautifully as she grows up.

"Botak" Jia En

Last sat, hb dragged me out to catch 2 movies, so JE & WL were sent to mil's hse. It's her 1st time sleeping at her Ah Ma's hse.

Sunday, my mum suggested to go return our blessings to Guan Yin at Kwan Im Tong Hood Che Temple. I have previously ask for blessings on a safety delivery of Jia En & myself. Also, i had pray for a better job opportunity for my hb. Now that JE is born, Hb had found a new job & started the job, it is time to return my thanks to Guan Yin. Since hb went out to take photographs, i took both WL & JE out by myself. Quite a difficult tasks as i almost spend 3hrs juz to get ready! After praying, we went shopping at OG while waiting for hb to join us. I'm so happy that i bought a new bag! A bag that can works as a diapers bag, gym bag, sch bag, all in 1!!

Yesterday (monday), i took her out for lunch & grocery shopping. JE can be very noisy when she's hungry. She make so much noise that i have to cut-short my shopping & rush home to prepare milk for her. =(

Today! I brought her for her Hep B-2nd dose at yishun polyclinic all by myself! Since in the past, i can easily handle WL by myself, i din request for my mil's help. Everything was smooth until it started to rain when i reached Yishun! Stupid weather! Anyway, JE had a short cry when injected, and calms down very fast. Booked her next appointment & also helped her bro, WL to book appointment for Chickenpox next monday. Let's c how long her bro will cry, especially he's older now. I had a quick lunch & I cant do much shopping wif a baby pram by myself. So we went home so that JE can have a better slp at home.

Past Events Summary

19-09-09 to 16-10-09

Ever since i delivered JE, WL was taken care by my mil so that i can fully concentrate on recovering & taking full care of the newborn bb. WL stayed overnite at mil's hse on wkdays & returned on wkends to camp at our hse. He adores his newborn sister, always requesting to come home and sayang her mei mei. However, when he done wif the sayang part, off he goes to make loud noise and disturb his mei mei's beauty sleep. Only when WL is asleep, then JE gets her peaceful sleep...

Before i delivered, i have specially prepared a gift exchange for my 2 kids. On WL's first trip back home with JE, i took out the gifts. WL was given 2 transformer toys while JE received a carebear toy. This makes WL happy and to make him feel that he's still being loved by us after a new family member arrived.

My confinement ends on 16 Oct, so WL has shifted back to our hse. Both hb n i have been trying to cope wif handling the 2 kids. Basically, hb is in charge of WL, as he's bigger and easier to handle. The small & fragile baby is handled by me, 24hrs a day!

17-10-09

Jia En is finally 1 mth old! We held a full mth party at our hse, inviting relatives & close friends to see our lovely princess.

Isn't her dress pretty? Specially bought by her grandparents for this event.

My Labour Story

Sharing my labour of my newborn bb princess on 19-09-09:


I checked into TMC after i was spotting at 11am. In the morning before i admit, WL was singing "happy birthday" song to her unborn mei mei and sayang my tummy while singing. Is this a sign of telling me her mei mei is to be born soon?


At 12.30nn, i was 3cm dilated. Waited at the labour ward for gynae to break my water bag at 3pm. Contraction was irregular & non-intense. Didnt feel any pain.. until 4.30pm, i felt my back in pain whenever contraction began. I was only 4cm dilated.. for almost 2hrs, i only dilated a miserable 1cm!


So i gave in to epidural again. Quickly signed the forms & screamed for the epi! By the time the doctor came, i felt a strong urge to push! OMG, i cant cancel the epi process as the doc is already in the rm. I was screaming in deep pain when the epi was inject into my back.. not becoz the injection was painful, but becoz the pushing urge is so STRONG & PAINFUL! Even after epi was inside my body, the urge to push still present. The nurses don't allow me to push as gynae wasnt ard yet. Neither was the bb head low enough for me to push.. i nid to dilate another 1-2cm.. Sometimes, i secretly push even though i wasnt allow. It's so difficult to control the pushing when the urge is so strong. I'm glad i had the epi, if not i nid control both the urge & the contraction pain, which i tink i will scream down the whole hospital!


An hr passed & gynae came. Hurray, i can finally push! Had a few push & bb gal was popped into this world! I was very tired.. and somehow regretted that i didnt had my epi injected earlier, so i don nid to suffer such a long labour.

Baby is born on 19-09-09. Although i hoped for the nxt day: 20-09-2009, an easier to rmbr date & also it falls on my chinese birthdate. Too bad, baby popped 1 day earlier. Starting fr nxt yr, she can celebrate her birthday with her aunt, whose birthday falls on 18 Sep.

Ple always tell me if i walk a lot, i will have a short & smooth labour.. or 2nd labour will b shorter. Well, all don't prove to be correct for my case. I had a slightly longer labour then my 1st delivery.

The after-effect pains are much better. Perhaps i'm more experienced liao. I dare not eat b4 my delivery, except drank a cup of milo. So all i vomit is milo after the delivery. My stitches wasnt painful, & i can get out of bed & walk ard easily w/o any pain on the nxt day. My boobs engorgement wasnt as painful & hurtful as my 1st delivery.

New Blog, New Beginning~!

Oh Yes! I'm starting a new blog since i now got a new baby! And as she is a girl, i shouldnt be using the words "Ah-boy" as my web-address. So i'm now gng to combine both my personal blog & my kids blog into 1 blog, known as "muzBhappy"!

Being stuck wif 1 hb, 2 kids, 1 job, 1 hse(work), i'm gng to be extremely busy... nevertheless, i muz still learn to be a HAPPY gal... n enjoy my time as i'm gtg older. Recently, i spotted a few strands of white hair amongst my black hair.. so ugly & scary.. Either i'm too stress, or i'm old liao. Therefore, i muz b HAPPY to prevent more white hair from popping.. haha~

Enjoy my blogs!
