Baby Lucas

Baby Lucas...

Quick come out...

Faster come out....

I want to have a playmate!

I promise I will share my toys with you!

=D

I love weekends!

Papa and Mama brought me out on both Sat and Sun!

I'm so happy

On sat, we met up Auntie Sally, Auntie Sharyl,

Auntie Mimi, Uncle GBK, Godma and Godpa at Vivo!

I had a great time with them!

I charmed them with my million-watt smiles and funny sound

I can definitely sense that all of them love me!

=D

Auntie Sharyl even pushed me around in stroller like my mama

But tell you all a secret

I love Auntie Mimi to carry me the most

Cuz it's so comfortable to rest in her b**bs

Opps...

Saw godma with her lil baby growing in her tummy

So happy!

Going to have a baby for me to bully

Opps...

I mean to play with me

=D

Then on sun

Papa and Mama brought me to IKEA

WOW!!!

I LOVE IKEA!

It's so beautiful over there

with the bright bright lightings, colorful furnitures and stuff

I can't decide where to put my eyes on

I saw a couple of babies there too

I smiled and said hi to them in my baby language

But they simply ignored me! Hmpf!

I was just trying to be friendly mah!

I love going out!

Papa and Mama

Please bring me out more often!!

XD

Looking forward to it!

Papa and Mama has been real busy during weekends

Go here, go there to look at toilet fittings, lightings, cabinets and stuff for our new home

So, I spent my recent weekends at Popo's house

A bit sad

Not that I don't like Popo and Gong Gong

I love them!

But I want Papa and Mama to play with me, bring me out!

Things will get better in 2 weeks time

as we're going to move into our new house soon

So looking forward to it!

=)

Caleb's weight

Caleb's weight gain for the past 1 month and 18 days has been poor

He only gained 1 kg...

But he has grown so much taller..or rather...longer..

6 cm difference!

I'm sure he will be a very tall boy!

I hope that his not so impressing weight gain will improve next time we visit Dr Low

Btw, Caleb was very brave during his last vaccination.

He only made a cry when Dr Low injected his 6-in-1

Brave little Caleb!

=D

Mama is super flattered for her first week of work

Woo Hoo!!!
24th Aug was the first day of work for Mama.

Mama's first work week was full of compliments

Nah...Not about her work
But about her looks

"Wow! You look so pretty"
"Pretty Mummy!"
"How come you still so slim?"

Call me vain. I LOVE THOSE COMPLIMENTS!

Come on... Shower me more! Haha

It's Papa birthday tomorrow!

Papa's birthday is on tomorrow!

It would be my first time celebrating Papa's birthday with him!

=D

But I am feeling a bit sad...Papa and Mama is going to leave me at Popo's house so that they can enjoy their dinner at The Line

It's ok!

I still can sing birthday song in my baby-talk language for Papa when they come back

=DDD

Papa and Mama is back

YEAH!!!

Papa and Mama finally came to Popo's house to pick me home!

I love Papa and Mama!

I love Caleb!!!

I love him

I love him

I love him!!!

I'm so gonna to miss him!!!

Sob Sob Sob

Btw, he has learnt a new trick

He will make those soft sobbing sound and look at him with his teary eyes

Waiting for you to carry him

Once you carry him, the soft sobbing sound and teary eyes will disappear almost immediately

Don't know where he learn this from

But I am so enjoying this new trick of his =D

I love Caleb!

What are they whispering about?

Papa and Mama has been behaving weirdly recently

They have been whispering a lot in front of me

I think I heard

"...Bangkok..."

"...go on Sunday...return on Wednesday..."

"...put him at Popo's place..."

And their faces always beam when they whisper

Totally clueless

Any auntie or uncle want to help me to decipher?

Shrinking

My friend asked me on MSN:

"is it neh neh bigger than pre-pregnancy period?"

The answer is yes

However my neh neh are in the process of shrinking back to their original size

At a super fast rate

But how come my thighs and tummy don't seem to shrink at all?

Are they going to stick with me forever and ever?

I don't want to be with them happily ever after!

No!!!!!

I am really a mother now!

When I am alone at home with Caleb,

No matter how hungry I am,

I would rather starve myself to death than to get changed, get out of the house and buy my lunch

But on this morning

I bathed Caleb and found out the BCG on his buttock burst with yellow liquid oozing out, I just simply can't sit well

After calling his doctor and Papa, I still can't calm myself down

I changed immediately and bring him to see the GP nearby

Luckily, GP said it's expected for BCG to burst and have yellow discharge

Just as long as I keep the wound dry and clean, everything will be fine

No medication was given and no consultation fee was charged

It's really a huge difference when you are responsible for somebody else's life

Especially the somebody is your dearest baby

Photo Feast Part I

One fine day, Baby Caleb is lying on the bed after his morning bath

Lalala...I love playing with my own tongue

Aeii...Someone is standing in front of me with a camera!

This person must be wanting to take handsome photos of me.

Let me impress him with some of my charming smiles

Charming smile I

Charming smile II

Hmmm... Is he done? I am a bit tired le....

Har! Not done yet... Sian... Sibei sian....

Let me show him my power!

Wooooooooooooahh!!!

End of post

Mama and Caleb little conversation

Mama picked up Caleb from cot

Mama : Hello Caleb! How's your day?

Caleb : Woooh

Mama : Must be a good day

Caleb : Ahhh woooh

Mama : I love you, Caleb

Caleb : Ooooooooh

Caleb smiled at Mama

AWWWWWWWWW!!!!

Mama ran to Papa with Caleb in her arms

Mama : Papa! Caleb just talked to me!!!

Silly Mama

=D

Mama has good complexion for now!

Woo hoo!

Mama has REAL GOOD complexion now!

Pores are smaller

Skin tone is fairer and more even

Mama's skin GLOWS!!!

This is the ONLY advantage of giving birth

(But there are tons of disadvantages:

(1) FLABBY tummy

(2) HUMONGOUS thighs

(3) Lack of sleep

(4) Boring days and nights at home

And more

.

.

.)

But poor little Caleb is having baby acne now

Don't know when he will have his baby soft and smooth skin back

I'm preparing for overnight stay at chalet when I turn 16 years old!

I'm sure a lot of aunties and uncles have been through the overnight stays at chalet during Secondary School days

Those stays that you will stay awake and chat with your friends throughout the night

Well...I might sound kiasu

but I'm already training for it now!

I simply refuse to sleep at night

My eyes will remain open, WIDE OPEN, throughout the night

I'm so proud of myself! =D

But babies still need their beauty sleeps mah

So I will sleep during daytime and no matter how Mama tried to wake me up

I just don't want to open my eyes!

Even she put me on my tummy time mat, I remain asleep on the mat

Even she put me in upright position, my eyes remain closed

Even she tickles my feet, I remain calm

Even she talks and talks and talks (very close to nagging) at me, I still ignore her

Papa has been forcing me to sleep at night

and Mama has been forcing me to stay awake during the day

Why aren't they supportive towards my training!?

Sob Sob Sob

New photos!!!

Yo Yo Yo

Mama has recovered from her came-from-nowhere fever

Some aunties have been asking for my new photos so here you go!

=D

Me lying on The Orange

It's a beanbag Papa got for Mama

Now it's mine!

Me wearing the pyjamas Uncle Andy Ta got for me

Uncle Andy Ta's daughter, Mimi Ta, just arrived too

I wonder how's she doing

Me wearing the sneakers Mama got for me before I was even born

Nice?

My nude photo taken after my bath time

Initially Mama has posted the raw, unedited photo

But Papa said I will feel embarrassed

So he added some effects to the photo

Hee Hee Hee

Mama is down

Mama has been having fever on and off since last Thursday

First 2 days were quite serious as the fever was ard 39.5 degree

Then fever subsided on Saturday and came back on Sunday, along with stomache

Mama felt that she couldn't take care of Caleb alone on Monday as Papa had to return to work so she went back to Popo's house

Luckily Popo is always there to help Mama to take care of Caleb

But now, not sure if it is due to allergy reaction of the medicine or something else, Mama has developed some redness on her hands, arms and thighs

Hope Mama will recover soon otherwise it's quite difficult to take care bad-tempered Caleb when she isn't feeling well

And Mama really really really hope to go out very soon

She really needs to breathe in some fresh air

She really needs some leisure time to feel sane again

OMG! It really happened!

Someone was asking me over msn yesterday

"So did you find your tears rolling down your cheeks uncontrollably when you see your baby sleeping?"

I replied him

"Siao ah! You think it's commerical ad or Channel 8 drama ah?!"

Who knows

It really happened! 5 min ago

Caleb cried and I went over to hold him up and pat him to sleep again

His face was resting on my chest

And I looked at him

Suddenly, I realised this is my baby(hmm...I am abit slow right?) and I started to think about the life he is going to have ahead of him. The people he is going to meet. The places he is going to visit. The decisions he is going to make.

Tears welled up in my eyes

And before I knew it, my cheeks were wet

I know it sounds v drama but it's really true

I hope Caleb will be a happy and healthy person

I am an infant now!!!

Yeah!!!

I turned 1 month old yesterday!

So now, I am officially called an infant! No longer a newborn le!

Hee Hee

As an infant, I must do something to impress Mama mah else she will still think that I am a small baby..Hmpf!

So I decided to do some gymnastic in my cot

After my afternoon feed, I appeared to be sleepy so that Mama will place me in my cot and have her own lunch

This is how Mama place me in my cot

Once I sensed Mama left the room, I started to kick the side of my cot with my SUPER-MODEL long legs and use my POWERFUL core muscles to rotate myself

This is my ending position

Then I purposely made a sound so that Mama will rush into the room

And as I expected, she had the shock of her life to see me lying in that position

Stupid Mama

MUAHAHAHA!!!

我出关了！

我出关了！

Finally!!!

My confinement ended yesterday!!!

This is the first time I greatly appreciate that my mama is a traditional woman

Luckily she goes by the Chinese Calendar to determine my confinement period

Caleb was born on 8th Apr (Chinese Calendar)

Then yesterday was 8th May and so it was the last day of my TERRIBLE confinement!

Woah...

HOT, SMELLY and FRUSTRATING are the three words that I will pick to describe the past month....

I am having some giving-birth-phobia now...I don't think I would want to give birth anymore...

Nah Nah..Not because of the labour pain...Labour was ok..All thanks to Epidural (I HEART Epidural!)

But confinement was *shake head shake head* something I don't want to go through again!!!

My best advice for you all would be

Next time pick a better date to get conceived so that you will deliver during Nov-Feb period when the weather is cooler

Mid-year period is simply crazy!!!

I must thank my mama...

For cooking my confinement food ( though I only eat fish for Lunch and bigger slice of fish for Dinner...bcuz I don't like to eat meat...she has no choice but to cook FISH for every meal...)

For tahan-ing my terrible tempers (I have been throwing tempers at her whenever little Caleb throws temper at me...Poor mama)

For loving and taking care of little Caleb when I get so stressful (There are times when I get so frustrated with little Caleb that I just handed him over to my mama...So guilty)

Mother is a lifelong job that you have to work 24 hours everyday and don't get to retire unless you die...

Your kids are your boss and not all bosses will appreicate their "employees" (mother).

But you will still do your best...

Just like my mama...

She still has to take care of her married and bad-tempered daughter who is already 27 years old.

Anyway, I am back at Woodlands now

Finally, I am connected back to the world with Internet access

Woo Hoo!!!

HELP!!!

Mama is stressed

Mama is upset

Mama is unhappy

Little Caleb always fall asleep during breastfeeding at night

Then Mama has to breastfeed him for every 15-20 min over a few hours

It's exhausting

It's stressful

It's driving Mama crazy

Yet Mama can say nothing because she is supposed to be a matured and sensible mother

Hello! Planet Earth (Beware: Long Long Long Entry)

Hello Everyone!

After Mama has rotted at home for 2 weeks, I have finally decided not to waste her maternity leave and decided to arrive on 2nd May 2009, 15:12 at Mount Elizabeth Hospital

Mama started her contractions on 1st May 2009 around 11+ p.m.

At first, she thought it was Braxton Hicks since those contractions were painless

Then at 12+ a.m, the contractions started to get regular. Once every 15 min.

Then she told Papa that I might be coming out soon.

At around 1+ a.m, Mama saw red patch on her panty when she went washroom.

She knew that it's time to go to the hospital le.

After showering and some little packing, we arrived at Mount Elizabeth at around 3a.m.

Nurse at the delivery suite checked on Mama. Mama was dilated at 1cm.

Then as every hour passed, contractions were getting more and more painful.

Finally, at around 6:30a.m, Mama could not take it anymore and asked for epidural.

But poor Mama still have to withstand 1 hour of contraction pain as the doctor only arrived to give her epidural at 7:30a.m. =(

But But But

Mama was all smiles again 15 min after epidural was given to her. She could even enjoy the cable TV at the delivery suite =D

Doctor Kowa arrived and checked out Mama at around 8a.m.

He told Mama that dilation was only 2cm and it takes 10cm for normal delivery labour

He estimated the earliest time for labour would be around 4-5p.m.

And so, Papa and Mama continued to "enjoy" the TV shows.

At around 10:30a.m, nurse checked on Mama's dilation again.

OMG! It was still 2cm!

Nurse said I was too high up, refusing to move down.

Nurse also told Mama that I might come out at night-time as the dilation was slow.

And if the dilation still doesn't reach 10cm at night-time, Mama might have to do C-section cause long labour is not good for the baby.

Papa and Mama fret out as the cost of C-section is double of normal delivery.

So they started to talk to me. Hee Hee..

Papa said he would get me a pair of shoes and Mama promised to get me a Fisher-Price seat.

Ho Ho Ho... So, I started to do some work by moving down.

Then at 1p.m, Doctor Kowa checked Mama's dilation again. It was 5cm!

Papa and Mama was thrilled!

Mama's dilation finally reached 10cm at around 2:30p.m. and real labour started at 3p.m.

Mama spent around 15min pushing me out. Dr Kowa and nurse praised Mama for being a good pusher. Hee Hee

Ok la...Enough of the long long story...

Let's enjoy my pictures...

Ho Ho Ho

Zzz-ing...

I just had a sour plum...No la...Duno why I like to make this facial expression...

Po Po said Mama used to make this expression too when she was a baby...

My charming smile =D

No No No!!!

No No No~~~

I'm too comfortable inside Mama le

I refuse to come out

I refuse to come out

I refuse to come out!!!

But that stupid Mama keeps threatening me that my clothes will turn mouldy if I still don't want to come out...

Hmpf!

My wardrobe

Hee Hee Hee...

I might not have come out yet

but Mama has been working very hard to build up my wardrobe

Let's take a look at my growing wardrobe!

Three-piece of Always IN white bodysuits

To be wore at home =)

Comfy elephant pyjamas

Simple yellow three-in-a-set bodysuits

Papa said can pass on to Charlotte next time...

Poor Charlotte...I'm sure she wants pinky pinky clothes.

Mama got bored with those blue, white, yellow collection..

So, she decided to buy this red bodysuit to add some spice to my wardrobe..

=D

My first polo tee!!!

From Auntie Queen!!!

Another handsome outfit from Auntie Queen!

So stylo!

I'm so going to be a handsome baby

XD

Tops from my mother-in-law!

I'm Mama's and Papa's little hero!

Shall I wear this when I have my first date with Ariel?

Hee Hee Hee

Colorful tops with cute wordings from stupid godmother!

She got these from London!

=D

The very first set of clothes Mama bought me

when she first known she is pregnant with me

Mama likes the short-sleeve starry bodysuit while

Papa thinks the long sleeve sleepsuit is cute

Btw, they came in a set =D

Another set of pyjamas

Mickey mouse bodysuit

Mama likes it very much!

=D

Mama bought this sweater cuz there is lion and giraffe at the back

Front view of my first sweater..

Honestly speaking, this sweater is abit too girly for me

Shh...Don't tell Mama I say that...

Haha...Mama saw this when she was shopping around during lunchtime

Then she brought Papa back to the shop when Papa came to pick her after office and convinced (forced!?) poor Papa to buy this for me...

The reason why she wants this bodysuit so much :

The baseball at the buttock

=.=!!!

Mama is nervous

Just saw the number of days left before Caleb is out and realised

It's only 49 days away!

49 more days before Mama loses her freedom

49 more days before Mama has to become matured overnight (Is it possible in the first place?)

Mama still has a lot of things she wants to do alone...

Mama still has a lot of countries she wants to visit...

:(

My new car!!!

Papa and Mama finally got me a car!!!

Ok...It should be called a stroller

Bleah

Nice Nice

My car seat is also red color.

Have to wait till end March for the next shipment.

=D

Aunties & Uncles! Come and enjoy my photos!

Lazy Papa and Mama finally scanned my ultrasound photos!

Here are some from my latest visit to Dr Kowa's clinic

Enjoy!!! (^_^)

It's my heart!

Me practicing Yoga in Mama's tummy.

See! I can touch my head with my feet!

I like my last photo the most!

Look at my round round nose. 

Auntie Weiying said I look like Mama because her nose

 is also round round one. What do you all think?

My chinese name

Oh...I keep forgetting to tell you guys my chinese name...

It's 许恺kai(3)乐!!!

Stupid godma once thought that my chinese name is 许开乐

OMG...Mama won't give me such a name one loh...

Btw, 恺 means

快乐，和乐：～悌（和颜悦色，易于接近）。

(^_^)

Mama is worried

There have been too many people showing Mama

the I-can't-believe-you're-pregnant face when Mama told them she is pregnant.

It's not a compliment to Mama esp when Mama is already 23 weeks pregnant.

Mama should have big, round tummy by now.

Mama is worried that little Caleb is not having enough nutrients.

But she feels slightly relieved whenever little Caleb plays actively with her.

Let's hope Dr Kowa will tell Mama

"You're doing very well" on this Thursday when Mama and little Caleb pays a visit to his clinic.
