Happy 5th Birthday to my 2 big babies!

Mummy's post:

Shhh ... I sneaked out from my confinement today! For the sake of my 2 big babies. It's their 5th birthday and we didnt have any celebration plans for them at home. Therefore I gave them a surprise in school.

Dear Reyden and Reyes,
may your day be filled with happiness & the year be filled with joy. Happy Birthday! Mummy love you!

The arrival of Reynee Ng!

Felt some discomfort at upper abdominal area, had diarrhea. I was guessing it probably had to do with the buffet feast at Buffet Town the day before.

17th Feb 2012 11am

The diarrhea stopped but the discomfort didn't go away. It escalated into cramps, with fixed intervals. This doesn't sound too right. Mum and Char got anxious and "chased" me to the hospital.

17th Feb 2012 12pm

Reached KKH and was strapped onto the machine to monitor for contractions and indeed I was having it. Kent was on his way there. At the back of my mind, I was wondering if they would discharge me to wait at home as my c-sect was planned to be next week. I wasn't at all ready!

17th Feb 2012 1pm

Kent was there. No chance of going home as they contacted Prof Tee and was told to send me to delivery ward.

17th Feb 2012 4.30pm

I was in the delivery ward for 3+ hrs monitoring my contractions, putting on drip, inhaling gas to relieve the pain, removing nail polish and whatever preparation work they needed to do to get ready for the c-sect op while waiting for Prof Tee to appear.

And finally he gave the instructions to send me over to the OT. However Kent can't go in with me as it's gonna be an emergency c-sect.

17th Feb 2012 5pm

The clock showed 5pm ... I was on the operating table all numb from chest down, seeing the hospital staffs getting busy around me, caught a glimpse of Prof Tee and I was feeling drowsy.

17th Feb 2012 5.12pm

I heard a baby's cries and it struck me that Reynee is out! That was fast. :)

17th Feb 2012 7pm

I was sent to my ward/bed after in the waiting area for an hr. I finally see my babies! Yes, I meant Reyden and Reyes. I missed them so much! Next to be in my sight was Reynee, my new baby!

The rest we shall update as the days go by with our new bundle of joy ...

Reynee is coming soon!!

Mummy's recent checkup shows that Meimei is weighing close to 3kg and engaged at 35 weeks which means we'll be expecting her anytime soon. However Mummy has yet to handover her office, get everything ready for Meimei so she's praying hard that Meimei will be good and stay in till the planned c-sect date in 3 wks' time.

We, on the other hand are all excited and looking forward to the big day. We had plans on when to visit Mummy, what to bring for Meimei when we visit in hospital, which day to pick Mummy and Meimei back & etc ... Meimei has became our daily topic.

Happy Dragon year to all!!

Princess (& Prince) Party and Reyes' scare

We had a princess (and prince) party this evening, a big scale one. The aunties each have their individual stations doing hair, manicure, makeup and phototaking for us. We were all dressed up in princess gowns and there were dances, cat walks and etc ... Everyone enjoyed the party.

Mummy's note:
However a mishap happened when we were about to head home. The kids were playing catching when Reyes fell and cut her chin. It was a deep cut with blood flowing non-stop. I got a scare and started crying. Luckily Kent was around, he was pretty calm and tried stopping the blood. Reyden isn't too bad either. He helped to pack up our bags, carried the umbrellas as we rushed off to the hospital. Reyes had been pretty brave, stopped crying and could still give me a smile at the hospital. She took 10 stitches, didn't cry, didnt struggle.

11 days later ... We went back for the removal of stitches. That's the tricky part. The pulling out of the stitches seem to be painful. Reyes couldnt stop crying and struggling. The whole process took more than an hr and finally DONE.

New found interest

Mummy pulled us out from the art class at the RC cos Reyden apparently has no interest in a seat-down class. He was being complained of drawing/painting on the classroom wall, poured paint on the floor to do footprints, painted Reyes' arms and legs & etc ...

Mummy figured that she had better get him out of the place before the teacher turns nasty. And we happened to come across a notice for taekwondo at somewhere nearby our place. Reyden indicated interest in it and since it isn't too pricey for the fees, Mummy enrolled him in it for a try.

Anyway the instructor mentioned that usually the appropriate age to start will be around 6YO. However since Reyden can listen to instructions well (this is surprising), they can take him in for a term to try out. However he definitely wont be going for tests yet. Not at least till he's 6YO.

It had been a term since he started and so far seemed fine. (no complaint from instructor ... yet.) He learnt the moves well and would come back and show us with enthusiasm. Let's hope he'll stick it thru. Mummy likes the disciplinary part of the activity. It keeps him reined.

As for Reyes, she decided she also want out from the art class. And she wants to be like any other gals her age, to be a ballerina. So we enrolled her for ballet at Dancepointe (Sengkang). She was vv excited when she 1st put on her leotard, tutu and ballet shoes.

Mummy is happy that we both found something we enjoy. Anyway that's what childhood is all about ... having fun, enjoying and doing whatever you like.
