《 2nd Vaccination... 》

Baobei went for her 2nd vaccination yesterday.
And she's a brave little kid (or shld I say
she just likes distraction haha)

her appointment was @ 2pm.

we went early to register -

as usual, had to wait... almost 30mins,

so Daddy and Mummy brought her to walk walk

*ohh her weight was 5.6kg
and her height 60cm

We settled for Long John, where

LG and I had a quick lunch

Finally coaxed Baobei to sleep when
the nurses called to say it's her turn...

went to Kids Clinic... waited for ard 10mins

(was trying to bottle feed BB in vain, sigh)

when we went in, Baobei was sleeping away,

chin on my shoulder (she likes to slp like this :)

a series of general questions and I'd to put BB

down for PD's examination...

She's still sound asleep on the examination table,

but woke up shortly (her Kpo-ness) to look around...

luckily she didn't cry when she woke up hehe

her assessment as follows:

1. She's drinking too little (I complained this to PD)
   >> only a mere 110ml as compared to other BBs, sigh
   >> she can't drink all @ 1 shot... had to wait for her to slp
   then quickly feed her, else feeding her will take us 1 hr!
   >> she's very distracted when she's awake and after drinking
   half, she wana play~ wat to do?~ sigh~
   
2. Her weight is STILL normal - average (but shld be gaining
   ard 4th to 5th mth where it'll double)
   
3. Her height - taller than average haha (as expected)
   
4. Able to support her head when turned on her tummy
   
5. Able to pull herself up when PD pulled her fingers
   
6. Eye reflex all good
   
7. Able to grab
   
8. Eats her hand
   
9. Talks alot
   
   
   After which, came the needle haha
   this time, buttok again...

Mummy carried you again,
chin on my shoulder...

I'd wana video all the process,
but can't bear to :p

I didn't know PD had the needle in your butt
until you were "struggling" - kicking and mugging your face
on my chest haha... then you let out a cry~

Daddy distracted you and I lay you on the bed,
where you start to LAUGH~ (you little joker haha)
and talk to yourself.. maybe complaining to us or
to yourself "what's that sudden pain?!" hahaahaa

went home, gave you medicine, you cry like nobody's
business~ injection, you can laugh, drink medi, you cry
Baobei ah Baobei, what to do with you??

today granny called to say you had slight fever
(this morning when I went over to see you, you were
sleeping soundly, maybe coz of the medicine)

Granny gave you a doze of medicine and
stuck the "tui re tie" on your forehead :)

When I knock off from work,
Granny say you had been sleeping 2 hrs straight
and don't wana drink... she'd to feed you with spoon
and you only drank little... then the "tui re tie" came off
and stuck on her hands where you almost put in your mouth
when Granny turned away~ *little rascal* haa...

you turned and opened your eyes when I called you,
but was in a state of blur~ then went bck to slp
poor Baobei, you must be slpy and hungry
(but why don't you wana drink?)

Mummy have to BF you...
you only latched on for 5mins then
you're wide awake liao... refuse to latch on anymore.
only wana TALK... ya ya ya gogo gaga away~

Mummy knows you've no appetite to drink...
but if you don't drink and slp alot, how will you
grow up?

Baobei, pls be good and drink more milk milk k?

Daddy and Mummy love you~

《 Let you decide... 》

wooooohhhh... just went gyne checkup
done an examine and.... cervix has dilated 1.5cm!~
so excited :)

Gyne has given an option -
(1) if BB heartbeat all ok,
(a) I might wana wait till cervix slowly dilate
(b) Insert pill to induce the dilation

(2) if BB heartbeat not ok,
have to induce

after 20mins check on heartbeat,
(on the noisy "racing horse" machine)
all seems normal :)

then have to decide if I want an induce...
was rather tempted though... coz tomorrow will be 6th!~
LG and I were contemplating what to choose...

Consulted gyne and he indicated the fastest for contraction to
start upon induction ranges from 4hrs to latest 3 days!~
It all depends on my own body...

hmmm so... if it really takes more than 1 day before
the pill has effect, then I don't see any need to induce...
Furthermore, my EDD is 10th... so, I shall let my dearie
Baobei "decide" for herself :) let her "choose" her own birthday :)

If she wishes to make her way out by tonight/ tomorrow,
then good lah... if not, then let her decide on her own loh keke

another appointment set on 10th July itself...
so these few days have to get really prepared :)

Can't imagine if I really chose to induce...
I will be more nervous now, just sitting here to wait for the
time to set in~ sooo no induction... (also have to wait lah...)

LG had a long day (his uncle passed away and he'd been
helping out for the pass 2 days, plus today...) so now he can
sort of sleep peacefully (he's sleeping soundly now)

Baobei Baobei~ jia you loh...
we'll be seeing you very very soon!~

ohhh when will the contraction start?
nervous nervous~~~

Jiayou~


p/s ohhh btw, my weight now is 69.3 kg
I think it'll juz hit 70kg lah haaaa...
then BB weighs 3.2 kg :)

《 Count down... 》

Baobei to come out on 6th July 08 hahaha



Yesterday night (3plus am) got super tummy ache!~
thought - "this is it?!~"

was actually tossing and turning coz of the gastric reflex thingy.
the gastric acid kept wanting to flow up, yike...
then 3plus I sort of "choked" on it and quickly sat up
coughing... argh...

then the tummy ache... went toilet, still pain...
sat on the bed to "time the pain" haha in case it's contraction? haha
find it funny now... I counted until I slept - sitting up =.=

Baobei was "happily" kicking away while I kept telling her
"not now hor~ still ard 1 week plus to go ok?"

didn't wana wake Lau Gong up as he'd gotta wake up early
and can see he didn't slp well too - tossing and turning...
blame it on the weather~
