Reyden finally let go of my hands & walked on his own today!! That's a nice development on his birthday. He probably knows that he's turning 1 today & he's a big boy now so he needs to walk instead of crawl.

Reyden's 1st few steps
Reyden finally let go of my hands & walked on his own today!! That's a nice development on his birthday. He probably knows that he's turning 1 today & he's a big boy now so he needs to walk instead of crawl.
Happy Birthday to Reyden & Reyes!!!
Mummy's post:
Happy birthday to our dear Reyden & Reyes!!!
I had planned to tell them so much things on this day but nothing comes out at this moment. Perhaps I'm too tired now. Will update when I'm in a clearer state of mind.
Exactly 1 year ago on 2nd Mar 07:
1am: Amniotic fluid bag leaked while I was watching TV & a gush of liquid flowed out.
1.15am: Showered, washed my hair, packed & went off to KKH.
1.40am: Admitted into delivery suite.
2am: Nurses, MOs & midwives came in to check on me almost every min. Was told that it was Reyden's amniotic fluid bag that burst. Reyes' still intact.
4am: Some joker came along & broke Reyes' fluid bag as well. Had IV drip tubes inserted in my hands, blood pressure monitor on my arm, fetal doppler monitors on my tummy, cervix checks & plenty of questions to answer. Given epidural injection as well.
8am: Finally saw Dr John Tee's face, estimated to deliver by noon time.
1pm: Noon time had passed, no sign of contractions or further dilation, no sight of John Tee either.
3pm: Kent decided to go home for a shower & feed Kiki.
3.30pm: MOs & nurses came in to say that Dr John Tee instructed to prepare me for c-section as it isn't too good for them to be without the amniotic fluid for too long.
4pm: Anaesthetist came in & gave me more dosage of the epidural.
4.30pm: Was pushed into the OT, saw John Tee's face again & alot of nurses as well. Everyone asked about Kent and were amused to learnt that he had went home to feed my dog. I didn't find that amusing though.
5.15pm: Anaesthetist was by my side, chatting with me to bring away my attention from the cut that John Tee was going to put on me.
5.37pm: Reyden was being "pulled" out from my tummy. He didn't cry like how babies in TV serial shows did. John Tee announced his birth time and went on to 'dig' for Reyes.
5.38pm: Reyes was out. Didn't feel the 'pulling' pressure this time round, perhaps she was much smaller than Reyden. They announced her birth time too.
6.10pm: Both of them were being checked by the paediatrician & cleaned up as well. Nurses then took turns to carry them to my side to show me & informed me of their birth weight. Couldn't see them clearly without my glasses. All I could make out was a dark & reddish Reyden & a super-duper small Reyes. I know it's an old line but still ~ Tears swelled up in my eyes when I saw them. The feeling was beyond description or perhaps I don't know how to. I just wanted to hug them closely to me but I wasn't allowed to.
6.30pm: John Tee went on to 'stitch' me back but some complications arised due to my high blood pressure & suspected case of postpartum hemorrhaging.
7.30pm: Managed to be 'stitched' back & pushed out of the OT alive but not kicking though. Was sent to the special care ward due to high blood pressure & vomitting. Finally I saw Kent ... I missed him so much. I could sensed his excitment over the little ones.
10pm: Transferred to normal ward.
12am: Felt lost & sad without both of them by my side. Especially so when I heard baby cries next bed, next room. Reyden & Reyes were far away from me at the SCN (Special Care Nursery) ...
The rest are all history!!! It had been a great 1 year and we'll be looking forward to more of the happy years ahead with Reyden & Reyes.
We had planned to bring them to the Singapore Zoological Garden on Mon & Jacob Ballas Children's Garden on Tues.
Happy birthday to our dear Reyden & Reyes!!!

1st birthday bash!!
Reyden & Reyes' post:
We had our 1st birthday party at the National Service Resort Country Club on 16th Feb 2008 (Sat). Mummy took 2mths+ to plan for this party. Getting the invite & photo montage done, sourcing for decorations and catering, preparing the guest list & sending out the invites, packing and ferrying everything to the chalet and best of all entertaining the 2 of us.
Birthday Invite - Mummy had printed out and sent it to all the children's parent. We had wanted to send an email to everyone but we thought that some guests might want to put this card in their kids' photo albums.
The decor that Mummy had spent time & effort to source, buy & put up. And not forgetting the goodies bags for all the small children.
The bouquet of balloons with our names on each star.
Our birthday cake!! with compliments from wai gong & wai po.
Mummy's birthday cake 27 yrs ago. Hmmm ... we still prefer ours. hehe.

Happy CNY to everybody!!
Reyden & Reyes' post:
1st Day
We went to ah ma & ah gong's house early in the morning followed by Daddy's grandaunt's place. There was a black & white dog that looks like Kiki there too. Too bad Kiki couldn't join us. Daddy told us that Kiki used to join us for reunion dinner for last 2 years & there was Boy Boy too. Let's hope we'll be good gal & boy next year so that Daddy & Mummy can bring Kiki along with us.
After great-grandaunt's place, we went to Mummy's grandma's place. This is the 1st time all the relatives see us & they find the 2 of us so amusing. Perhaps cos we are twins so people tend to find us interesting.
We had had alot of junk food like love letters, pineapple tarts, kueh bangkit, fishballs, steamboat soup with rice for dinner today. At least it's much easier to bring us out now that we can take adult food. Mummy praised us for being cooperative & good boy/gal today.
2nd Day
We went to Wai gong & Wai po's house today. We were both abit cranky today due to tiredness. Reyes kept clinging on to Mummy while I was better - just didn't want to let anybody carry me.
3rd Day
We went to Hougang Point for breakfast without Aida today. Mummy said that she had got alot of clothings to wash & clearing up to do so we left her alone to do those things. This is the 1st time both of us took a ride together. :)

Truly twins ...
They've been either doing the same action, sleeping in the same position or striking the same pose for photos since infant time. Recently I've also caught them standing in the same way with 1 leg sticking out of the play yard but didn't manage to catch it in time. And today they willingly 'allowed' me to take this pix of them in their high chairs. Monkeys see, monkeys do ...
