My first batch of friends visitors Ser and ET popped by to see baby A and me! My primary schoolmates were thrilled to baby A! They said she look very sweet! i started calling baby A Sweet Pea since i first breastfeed her cos i had a very good look at her then! Baby R was more like a cheerful baby and i called her Little Anpan then cos she looked so much like a cute little red bean bun and her little sis more like a cinnamon donut!
My friends were so sweet to shower me with a flower bouquet that came with a stand, baby A with a pink pokkadotted box of 5 pieces of beautiful baby rompers and dresses and they even prep a gift to cheer baby R, a purple giraffe with colourful dots! Thank you so much to my 2Gfs for being sooooo nice to me and my gals! appreciate your kindness!
Not long we received the next message for our room number and my 2 friends from SI were popping by to see us! but before they came by, my uncle K, aunt M and twins and Aunt S came by to the new addition to the family! Aunt M was kind to help me get the covered dish dryer for me cos the day before after we talked about the cupcakes for the party, i asked her where she gotten hers cos i couldnt find it... Aunt M remembered and purposely helped me get... so blessed to have so much help! Mum came by with homecooked gingery and peppery lunch for me... mum served it right up even thou i jus had finished my lunch not very long ago...
My gal shares the same bdae as her 2 yiyis, my twin cousins!
Before uncle K's family left, gx had already gone home to settle the cot. He had wanted to set up the cot on Sunday jus that he was expecting baby A to come the following Thursday and not arrived before he dragged the cot out... but i was lucky to have most of baby A's things done... jus that the slide for baby R's 2nd year photos is not completed yet, i was half way thru it!
I was about to finish my mum's bak kut soup, fried cod and liver in ginger with rice (simply love mum's cooking!) my gfs came. Penny's whole family turned up with Angie and daughter to visit us! The 2 ladies send their gals to the same ballet class. The gals were asking for baby R cos they got her a balloon and i was given chicken essence... but Gx told me our gal was alittle jealous and insisted in getting into the cot when it was setup... baby A was in the nursery cos she was going to take her bcg jab. The kids enjoyed the mini lollypops and i got teased for having time to do the little basket for the lollypops!
Angie asked why i had so many spelling mistakes on the blog entries... cos here the system is slow and i jus keep typing and i dun check cos i get terrible aches in m shoulder and back after typing those entires lying down cos i was only allowed and was off my bed for the 1st time yesterday evening! to me i really want to keep an update of what happens everyday if possible so i use all my energy and time i have to type as fast and thus to me spelling mistakes thats comes with speed typing and no seeing the letters appear as i type, it is not something i can care about now!
the ladies stayed and we chatted about my experience, their memories of their kids and they needed to leave to bring the kids to ballet... then when it was all quiet, the nurse came to help me change and i got off the bed without GX around. this time round i managed to sit up on the bed slowly with the help of the nurse, then one leg at a time off the bed and i stood up with the nurse holding me and i managed to walk to the toilet on my own, very slowly... after the nurse left, i was very tired. Since i got off the bed i sat on the chair but i started dozing off! So mum told me to take my teatime and then lie down and i did... i was exhausted, finally i slept deeply...
When i woke up, mum gave me a cleanup and heated up the food and soup for me. My inlaws and sil+bf and of cos my little baby R came... suddenly looking at baby R she look so much bigger in size and she sure look like a big sister. baby R was all over the room! Can sense she is alittle jealous but she was so sweet still to come touch and sayang me, gave me a kiss and hugged me. When she saw Alicia, baby R wanted to sayang meimei but she would run away after awhile.
Watching my gal being a rascal... got me alittle worked up... esp when she accidentally pressed on my wound... i need to watch my tone... jus hope she show more love to the newborn baby sis and grandparents who i appreciate their help looking after her at home won't spoil her, change too many rules... They managed to get her normal time 11pm yesterday... but baby R woke up this mporning at 8am... today she is going to stay at home to have a normal day before baby A and mummy goes home tomolo!
after everyone went home, i was so tired i jus lie down watch news and some tv till 11pm... i slept till baby came in at 3am+. Thru the day, baby A didnt latched on as well and this morning i requested for the lactation consultant. She came in jus in time jus now to help me out and she taught baby A how to do it nicely. baby A has jaudice and today she spend less time in the room with us cos she needs to be under the blue light... After GX picked up the "breastfriend pillow" the lactation lady came back to give me and baby another round of help and gosh its so much better and baby A did well!
After we received our 1st delivery gift from Gx's contractor and followed after mum and sis with nephew popped by and i had my 2nd round of lunch! love my lambchops i had for lunch from tcm, one craving down! so mum's lunch was more confinement esp the black soup she brewed today! tangy and alit bitter but after drinking, i felt very refreshed! mum said the soup is for replenishing blood.
Gx's collegues and boss came with a huge basket of birdnest and chicken essence after they left, Gx's friend Janice popped by to visit us and she came with a white basket of birdnest and chicken essence! Cousin A came to visit me with a pretty chocolate bouquet but not long gx and i left for class and i almost suffocate in the small room filled with parents so hot and some mummies were in thick sweaters and shawls! i couldnt sit thru the whole class after the refreshment course on how to clean the baby, i skipped the breastfeeding portion! The nurse said those on level 5 can access the video on the com! GREAT .... i was happy to breathe out of the room!
When i was buying delifrance for midnite wee morning snack... i spotted my 2 aunts, Aunt O and Aunt K. They told me they waited in the room for us for an hour and they had seen the baby cos they asked the nurse and they were ready to leave to go back to supervise my cousins who will be having exams soon... of ocs the little ones wanted to come see their new niece... but they have to wait till exams are over before they get to see baby A!
When we were back in the room, i started taking pics of the baskets of health products we received... and i spotted another white basket of birdnest fr Aunt A and another brown medium basket of birdnest from Aunt O! the funny thing was the basket from Gx's office and aunt O had the same ribbon... gx's boss is my uncle! so we laugh and say how the hubby and wife had the same taste! the basket from gx's friend J and aunt K got the same white basket and i loved it! esp one is a little smaller and one bigger cos i can see myself using them for parties!
this entry started in the morning, took time to feed baby, eat my meals, received my guests, nurses inserting med... jus had dinner and trying to finish this entry! We have the go ahead to go home tomolo... jus hope baby A who is now still receiving her bluelight treatment will be jaudice free to go home with us... dun think i be free tomolo to update... wonder how many days we take to settle down...
baby R was in baby A's cot... i called home to tell her not to get in anymore... she wasnt stopped... but i had to tell her to and tell her how she can't get into Didi L's cot and it goes the same for baby A... i HAD to WARN my gal that if i see her in the cot i would smack her... SAD RIGHT.... hearing from mummy... not a very nice piece of thing to say either... i explained to her she is too big and heavy for the cot and baby A doesnt have other place to sleep cos she is too small to sleep on my bed and i asked if baby A could sleep on baby R's bed, baby R replied no... i told her if she is good gal, i will reward her... she asked me for sticker and in addition i told her i would give her a surprise if she behaved and leave the cot for meimei, she said YES Mimi... i wished i hadnt need to give her the stick 1st... if only she wasnt allowed in the 1st place... haiz... but i appreciate the help we are getting at home with our gal... jus hope everything works out fine when we bring baby A home tomolo.
