please click on the link to catch a glimsp of our dear new member in our little Family!

Alicia Tan!


baby was born 5pm+, C-sec and she cried low pitch and when she was in my arms, she stopped once she heard my voice! daddy's warm palm calmed me thru the beginning of the op, felt so good on very goggy epiduralled mummy's face! this time i had to be given oxygen cos my heart beat super fast once the liquid set to work in my body! very different from when i did my epidural for baby R, then i didnt feel so dazed out. The guy who did it before calms me down and also prob the 1st time i didnt know what to expect! PAIN! the injection when the liquid flows into my body! this lady scares me cos she kept saying sorry when i was poked on my spine! i was jus glad when i finally heard the baby's cry, i managed to open my eyes wide to see my baby A!

baby A had blood stain all over her when she was presented to me! She was so beautiful and i kept my eyes open with a very excited heart! She was brought to a corner to be cleaned up and i listened to her cries smiling! Alicia is finally HERE!


after the clean up baby was placed on me and when she heard me call her, she stopped her cry and looked so sweet and calm! then after a family shot, she was brought out to do the measurements with daddy supervising! the daddy accompanied baby up to the nursery and he waited for me by the lift! but i was only wheeled out of the op threatre 1 at 6pm. The 1st time round, i remembered right after GX leaves with baby R, i slept and when i was awake, i was back in the room droswy with my ears alit blocked and i was talking loud cos i couldnt hear own volume! this time round after daddy left, i was much more awake than at the start of the op and gosh i was SHIVERING trembling non-stop and shaking terribly! i was assured that its normal and it will wear off in a couple of hours and if i wanted to lessen the crazy tremors, she could give me something but it will make me drowsy... i opt out on that so i could see my spec shaking, the cloth that divide blocking my view of the op almost dropping cos i made the whole op bed rocking!

wheeled up after a last check on blood pressure at the threatre level, not long after i was transfered onto the bed in the room, family members flowed in! baby R attended twins yiyis bdae with mil, popo, kummo and bro ferrying my gal to the fairy party! So after the party, they came by with my sister, nephew L, Uncle J's family popped by to see their new niece and grand-niece! after the baby was warmed up and then had a wash up, baby A was brought into the room to say hello to everyone who came to see her!



I missed seeing baby A open her eyes... Alicia heard her jiejie R voice and she opened her eyes to peek at her! everyone said that baby A resembles very much of her elder sis R except Alicia has much more and super dark hair! Ah Gong and sil+bf came by after to see their little grandaughter/ niece! Sil got a very nice "new Member" teddy romper from HK H&M for little baby A! She helped me take a shot of our new baby gal and uploaded on FB to let our friends see our new born! thank you friends for all the well-wishes!

managed to breastfeed my little gal for the 1st time thou i was lying down not the best position but baby A suckled on very well and she did her very best to take in the colestrum! painful but i was happy she did so well! baby A actually fell asleep when she started on the 2nd breast not too long! she doze off and daddy brought her to say good nite to the rest of the family members before she went back to the nursery!

i am cleared of all the numbness in my leg and i am not looking forward to tomolo's morning get off the bed ceremony! i can never forget how painful it was to stand holding onto the nurse and gx! felt so heavy and it was super painful to stand after several hours of lying on the bed! Paediatrian jus came by and he say baby A is fine and she was given Vit K jab. he would be back to check on her and she would be given BCG jab tomolo! nurses have been poping by to check on me, blood pressure, drip and bleeding and all seems amazed that u am lying dow n typing away! one nurse asked if i am not tired! hee... i shall end here for tonite and watch some tv, wait for gx to come out from his shower and can't wait to see Alicia again and i am so waiting to have milo at 12mn!
