Day 7 of Confinement
Today is my day 7 of confinement and I still not yet feel the breast engorgement.. I wonder why.. I really hope that I can breastfeed till as long as possible.. I just pray that the breast milk will come in tomorrow.
Yesterday managed to take some family pics.. My little princess is so adorable.. Very smart.. know how to choose.. Mummy gave her water.. she pretend to suckle and then spit out all.. haha.. My sweet bao bei..
The malay massage therapist helped me shed off 12kg of my weight.. still another 10kg to go.. The pressing and rubbing really perked me up but painful.. Overall.. I am still satisfied with her service.. I might want to add some more sessions... heehee.. Shall see my budget..
I am glad that my precious angel is healthy and feeding well... Now then I know parenting is really not easy.. We must treat our parents well because they been taking care of us well for the past 20 odd years...
Shall update again..
P/S: Hair super smelly and greasy.. Cannot tahan already

Arrival of Baby Candice
Finally I got time to sit down and start typing my labour process and also the few days of me and Hus parenthood.. This free time given is all thanks to TMC parentcraft.. Stupid nurses giving us wrong information which caused me and hus into anxiety.. My baby got underfed because of not enough milk supply given and her juandice.... haiz....
Anyway... I went into induction of labour on 3-Nov... Inserted one pill to start contractions on 2nd Nov by Dr Khi around 2pm.. No contractions feeling till the drip is given on 3-Nov..
12pm - Admitted into hospital.. Got shaved and lie on bed of delivery ward to monitor contractions.. No pain and Hus accompanied me throughout... Checked by nurse that I only 2cm dilated..
1am - Given another pill to start contractions.. The midwife that insert the pill is an idiot.. never put jelly.. I pain like hell..
2am - Given a ward.. Super delux because they dont have single bedded.. Hus and I enjoyed the room.. And I got not much pain still..
9am - Went to Dr Khi's clinic for another contractions monitoring again..
10am - Sent down to delivery ward.. Given enezma to clear bowels.. Checked that I only 3cm dilated
1pm - Given drip to strengthen the contractions after water bag burst by Dr Khi.. The leaking of warm fluids made me feel like I am peeing non-stop..
3pm - Contractions coming like every 2 mins.. Super pain.. Like menses pain x100 times... Cannot take it... Nurse asked whether want pain relief.. I faster tell her I want epidural..
5pm - After the epidural.. Pain free but just feel like wanting to clear bowels... The pressure down there is strong... I called the nurse and she checked that I already 9cm dilated.. Woohoo.. I super happy.. Finally...
5 - 7 pm - Was pushed into birth ward for delivery.. I pushed like several reps but no use.. I feel cold due to the epidural side effects and hunger... No strength at all... I cannot take it anymore and asked to call gynae... Baby arrived by vaccum.. I started shivering the moment baby is out due to the epidural..and announce her arrival at 7.06pm..
What a relief that my labour is not that painful.. I only go through like pain when checking dilation and some contractions.. Still bearable.. stitches is totally pain free.. And I am glad I chose Dr Caroline Khi as my gynae.... bit expensive though.. haha...
I named my little princess in the labour ward when everyone was commenting that she looked so sweet.. Her name is Candice.....
Some photos taken:
Because I am on total breast feeding.. I started feeding Candice every 3 hours in the hospital... Pain on my nipples started coming in on the last hospital stay.. Candice suckling became stronger and vigorous.. I was at a loss.. wondering what happened... My nipples became sore.. Went to ask the parentcraft of TMC.. they told me because my milk not enough.. I broke down... Was so sad when they gave and told us to give 20ml of infant formula to supplement her... Now I think back.. is kinda of stupid.. They should tell me that the mature milk will only come in with adequate rest and calm feeling.. But.. they did not mention any about this..
Then we went back home and started taking care of my little princess.... Her jaundice became worse and mum asked Hus to carry her do sun tanning...
Anyway... Candice is in the hospital because of her juandice... Because of me and Hus.. She got level 20 for her juandice... She got no choice but to shower under photo light... See that her cot got nothing but a plastic base... So pitiful man... I hope she can come back to her warm and comfortable cot by tomorrow... Miss her so much......
Anyway.. at the relax side.. I finally started the massage.. The malay lady who massaged me is great... But super painful... Cos I got serious water retention... I am doing the massage everyday... and feeling so shiok aftermath... I hope to keep my relax feeling till Candice is back....
How I wish I can wash my hair.... very dirty.... hahaha... I shall end here and update again when Candice is back....

Upcoming big thing in my life
Finally after 38 weeks & 3 days, baby princess coming into my life to meet me the first time... She is weighing approximately 3.5kg and Dr Khi said she is too big.. Need to induce labour.. I will be going to her clinic on coming Monday.. Scary.. I am so "gan chiong" now...
Hus & I were both stunned when Dr Khi suggested inducing birth.. Both of us had lots of mixed feeling.. Suddenly I asked myself if I will be a good mummy or am I prepared.. Across this full term pregnancy.. I kept on asking myself but with no answer.. I just kept on hoping that my labour will be a smooth one thats all...
Wait for my good news.. I think my next update will be on baby's pics.. hahaha...

On Leave Officially
Did I mentioned that I am already on leave?
The reason why I chose to rest at home early?? Cos' work is too tiring.. No choice la.. Staying at home as I got some inconsiderate colleagues..
Been at home for the third day and I am already feeling bored.... And life is so bluey and aimless.. Hahaa.. Lucky yesterday I went Ikea to get stuffs like the baby changing table.. At least leaving my house for a while to receive some fresh air.. But.. Weather is lousy.. Been so humid and warm and I am still sweating like hell.. Carrying a 3kg baby + the aminoic fluid.. The feeling of hotness is even worse than normal human....
Days at home alone is like the time slowly crawling by.. Nothing much I can do except cleaning here and there... Absolutely nothing I can do but just wiping the windows, mopping the floor.. I am already living the housewife life.. Waiting time to crept by and Hus will be back from work..
I realised I cant be a housewife.. Hahaha.. The house is so quiet.. Living in a 110sqm already feel so quiet.. I hate the alone at home feeling... I cannot imagine how people staying terrace houses can "tahan" being at home alone..
Time is slowly approaching to the day I am going into labour.. To countdown, is about 20 days to full term.. I think no need to wait till 20 days I will have to start pushing the baby out, screaming and crying over the pain..Anxiety overwhelmed me to see my little girl.. So, I think all the screaming and crying will be worthwhile...
All right.. Nothing much to write.. I am going to have a nap and decide whether to go Suntec later.. Ciao..
