Anyhow, having her shaving hair ceremony and our open house this Sunday. Anyone who's not yet invited, please give me a ring. I lost phone numbers when I changed my phone.. aiyah.. so give me a buzz k.
Met so many interesting cars today going to work. Saw Uncle Rahim Angullia and another car on the side before Fort Rd exit. His van kena whacked from the back by a bright lime green car (driven by a woman driver ugh.. gives woman-drivers a bad name). Anyway, he changed the color of his Merc van to dark green. Interesting..
Then, saw a grey Mitsubishi Lancer on my rear mirror - who tailgated me all the way to work. Who's the driver? Chris lor! LOLz..

Baby development:
She's now very fun to play with... my personal doll to doll up and to make faces with. Hehe.. She hates being carried; loves to just laze on her bouncer or gym or mattress. Expects people to be around her - maybe feeling bored haha..
Loves to 'jalan2' (walk2 lah) and hates to be at one spot all the time... so must walk2 always. hehe
Loves to take long bubble bath and splash about. Hates to be taken out of her tub before she's done playing with the water... and all at 2mths old! I wonder what else she's going to do. *grins*

Bubble

First time played bubble (yeah.. lousy huh?).. and didn't win.. so tried and tried until learnt the fundamentals.. hah.. final game.. me win over undisputed champion, Dunlin. Hahaha... I feel good..

Going own home today. So will pick up daughter and hubby later.

Friday and IQ test

Stayed at in-laws last nite coz too late and in-law worry abt me and baby. Anyway, did IQ test just now. The results...

Lindah, your Super IQ score is 113

Your overall intelligence quotient is the result of a scientifically-tested formula based on how many questions you answered correctly. But it's only part of what we learned about you from your answers on the test. We also determined the way you process information.

The way you think about things makes you a Visual Linguist. This means you are highly intelligent and have many diverse talents. You have especially strong linguistic talents and are very good at interpreting visual information. You've got your feet on the ground, but your mind is capable of very complex, abstract thought. Compared to others, you are easily able to see situations from many different angles. You also understand how things work in a very practical way.

So I think with my mouth ;-)

Krazy Thu

Did many crazy things during lunch time these past 2 days.

Tue: Had lunch with Yuling and TY @ BK Peninsula. TY is accepted to be with Silkair. Congrats! Rained after lunch.. so went over to Watson's to get umbrella. Umbrella's @ $9.90 .. too Ex.. so.. got a 2 for $1.95 poncho! LOL.. imagine 2 very nicely dressed married ladies wearing red and blue 'plasticbags' hahaha...

Thu: LOL! Company lunch with Jap pizzas.. not bad.. for Jon's leaving for UK and Charlene's Bday month. Anyhow.. the 2 ponchos came into picture again when it's time for performance. Go-Karting in office.. Sales vs Tech :) Tech won.. but it was fun seeing red and blue poncho wearing folks on 2 roller chairs as karts. lol.

Have Pilates later. See how that goes as well :)

Monday Blues!

Oh yeah.. it's a blue day alright! It's raining heavily now... and I've started work also! First day of work after so long MIA. Wish me luck!

Blogging from Home

Yes! Finally! I've moved! Did it on Tuesday. Yes.. how cool is that, eh??? Anyway, the house is still a big mess as I haven't the time to clean it yet. Hubby's working now.. he forgot his phone.. and he is having dinner with his friends tonight.. so I'm not cooking.

Baby's sleeping well now. She's still having that bad prickly heat rash.. but improving.. the redness on the body has also gone away.. now left with the one on her scalp. Her cough/ phlegm has gone away too so she can have her 2nd Hep jab tomorrow. Will discuss with the doctor on the 4-in-1 jab for her.. might as well get that over and done with.

Hmm

Nothing much to post today except a pic of Baby Lia here... This is taken at the hospital when she was 1 day old :-)

Anyway, moving house soon. Got everything including things for the kitchen, etc. Will update soon.

Baby's One Month!

Hey! Time flies fast.. It's 25 Jun 05 - Baby Lia's 1st Month! Yey! She's now sleeping.. hopefully she won't wake up tonite and stay awake - like last nite.

Anyway, Happy Belated Birthday to my Hubby... Sorry can't get you any pressie. Will make it up soon.. as soon as I finish my confinement. hehe.. Love you!

Baby Lia in Hospital

Yes. She went into hospital from 2nd to 5th June coz she vomitted badly till she was dehydrated. Yes, I cried the whole of the first night. Saw baby put on drip.. Really bad.

The docs did many tests - they probed and they scoped - did Baromine scan, xrays, urine tests; stayed in hospital for 3 days but found nothing to be wrong. The worst thing??? They put my poor 8-day old baby on NBM (Nil by Mouth), ie no food nor drink by mouth! Horrid! So poor baby was crying nite and day for a drop of milk or drink. :( This is really depressing me..

Hubby stayed the whole 1st nite by himself to take care of the baby. I accompanied him from 2nd nite onwards. Hubby went home to rest on the second day with me alone with baby. Boy! was it a trial.. they put a tube to her stomach (thru the nose) to remove everything in it - as they wanted to do more tests.

My temperaments then? I was a testy, demanding mother.. who blasted at one of the doctors there who wouldn't tell me what to do. Idiots! They need to take EQ.

Finally, after I told them that the breastmilk that I've been feeding her was ok and that her formula (S26 Gold) make her puke again, they diagnosed that Baby Lia's intolerance to the formula. Argh! Even I could have told them that. So next time people... if your baby's having projectile vomitting - check your formula.

Labor experience

Well.. I had contractions... steady mild ones the whole day of 24th May, but didn't tell hubby until very much later.. like @ 9pm.. hahaha.. and he decided based on in-laws' advice that we should go to the hospital.

@ KKH - (I was still smiling and enjoying myself) hey.. it's still very mild.. so had to go to the obs room.. where.. I got the shock of my life when the woman doc just probed my cervix! No warning except "don't tense up or it'll be painful" - what am a first time mother to know what that means! And it hurt.. traumatic! Cervix dilated 1.5cm so.. I can either go home or stay warded. I opted to go home - hey it's already 11+pm; I might as well rest at home in the comfort of my own bed! Anyway, woke up at 4.30am to bad backache, but still can tahan so waited for 6am before I started to tear in pain to go to KKH. But it's not as bad as the labor itself!

@KKH2 - Taxi uncle can ask if we are in emergency.. obviously from my cringing expression! Oh btw, it was raining badly. Ayway, @ 24hr clinic, I was wheeled to the delivery suite immediately while hubby registered for me. Midwife told about the various pain reducing methods: Gas, jab or epidural. I thought I could handle the pain.. so opted for natural birth and gas. Didn't know that I can't take the jab when I'm dilated more than 3cm. So when the pain got really bad, I asked .. no, screamed for epidural while hubby was forcing the gas on me. Btw, I vomited violently after taking the gas - emptied my tummy of everything! Anyhow, to have the epidural, my waterbag had to be broken and when it did, the contractions came in torrents in 1 min interval. I couldn't stand the urge to push.. and when the anaesthetist finally came (was VERY SLOW!) and after she explained the consequences, etc. , she found out that I don't need it coz the baby's head is already there! Urgh... so I pushed @ 5-6cm dilated and the baby came wailing out @ 11.33am!

The patch up job was BAD - I had a 3rd degree job for 1.5hrs. Had their snr consultant to do it also coz there was a hidden vessel that burst in my rectum. In fact, it was bad enough that if they don't find this vessel, I would have to go into Op Theatre. But they did, so it was done! Trauma... Ended.

Finally Online!

Baby Lia starting fidgeting so have to hurry.. since I've lots of news to share, I'll do this is phases:
- Labor Experience
- Baby's Check up @ Poly and Hospitalization
- Baby's Health

So check out the next few blogs... Now I've to attend to my baby :)

I'm a Mommy!

Yey! I'm a mommy now... Gave birth to a baby girl on 25th May 05. The experience? I'll spare the details to another day... hehe.. Just good to say that I've survived.

Baby's name: Siti Nur Amelia
Meaning: The Light of the Believer, Protected by Allah
Weight at birth: 2.595kg
Head circumference: 33cm
Length: 46cm (hah! will be a tall baby)

Looks: Cheena... hahahaha...

Now will try to download emails again... somehow me can't download office mails. Sickening!

Still driving..

Yeah.. me drove today.. Hubby allowed me coz.. taking MRT doesn't guarantee me a seat.. thanks to our very 'gracious' Singaporeans. Trust me! I once gave up a seat to another 'more' pregnant lady in my early pregnancy stage.. while on other times, I've encountered guys staring at me while playing with their phones or handheld games :-P Lousy Singaporeans! Usually older men and women (like in the 50s and above) would give up seats to pregnant ladies. Well, I could scream out that I need a seat.. but society frowns on me having the cheek to even ask for one. Hmm.. maybe I'll ask for a seat when I really need it. Hahaha.. Let's splash some cold water on these people.

Still haven't started on my writings yet. So my other blog is still not up. Maybe I'll start during my maternity leave.. since I've nothing to do but be a mother :-)

Final Inspection

Sounds like some sort of investigative work eh? Haha.. Well, sort of, but not real near enough :)

Hubby n I went to our soon-to-be-our house to do inspection. Made our list of things to check. Found some things missing or faulty... well.. and the previous owner took ALL of the appliances and useful stuff except for the ... rubbish! Argh! They should clear those as well.. My poor hubby will have a big time to clear, clean, paint, etc. basically to do magic wonders to the place... on his own.. poor thing...

BTW, dad-in-law came to inspect the house also... :-D

Stress Tummy..

Woke up late :( Drove slowly, but got a parking slot without waiting at all. Nice!

Had p-nut butter sandwich just now for break, but still hungry. Mousie wants something warm. Dunno what to get leh.. Me want Tom Yum! hehe..

Aiyah.. baby stretching me to the max.. Maybe she wants to make her appearance soon... oh-oh..

Wet Weddie

Oh yeah.. it rained since last night and was still drizzling when I drove to work. Amazingly, traffic was great! Smooth! But Dad-in-law was still worried with me driving. hehe.. a 37+3 wks PREGNANT lady driving. Watch out roads! Sadly, had to wait some time for a parking slot - managed to finish 2 cheese toasts. Yummy!

See what boss sent out for updates: "Quite an action-packed month ahead, so hold on tight for the exciting ride!

Oh yes, Lindah will have her own exciting journey too as Lindah Junior Edition is scheduled for June "release" :-) "

Kekekeke...
