30Sep - 3Oct 4 days stay at KKH

This is week 33 of my pregnancy, as per my last gynae checkup on Tuesday everything have been good & smooth.
On this last day of Sep, as we were home before 7pm after work, we decided to head for a better dinner tonite. Hence went for Yishun Safra's Jack's Place, had yummy & fulfilling dinner, then head home to call it off a day.
As usual, I'm the last one to go shower, but as I went off to comb my tresses aft sating on the bed to dry my "pig trotters", Hubby yelled!
"Whose blood is that?!" There's a patch of blood on the bed, abt palm's size big, alas, it's mine!
We were freaked out, I felt nothing at all, no pain, nothing. I quickly went back to the bathroom to clean myself up at the same time asked Hubby to help to reach for gynae's contact.
Called Dr Adrian (ard 1045pm), he asked me a couple of questions, then advised me to go KKH.
Lil Rayden even asked if I need an ambulance upon knowing i bled.. haa he's so cute, he been such a good boy, didnt pester us at all when we were leaving for KKH.
Around 11pm+, reached KKH, I was wheeled to Delivery Ward at level 2. Strapped on with CTG, to monitor baby's heartbeat & contractions.
To my surprise, there's actually contractions.. OMG..The nurse checked my bleeding then she told me, I might go into delivery if my contractions
did not subsided. Baby will be born as a premie at wk33, which is not very good.
I was then sent to Delivery ward, to be on CTG scans, took medication every 4hrs to control my contractions, if it fail, I will be put on drip.
Beside that, just in case baby is coming out soon, I will be given 2 jabs on my thigh with 12 hrs difference, these are for baby's lung's maturity.
These Jabs hurt like hell.. ouch! but for the well being of my lil one, of coz, it's all worthwhile.
On my left hand, the nurse withdrawed some blood for testing, but inserted the thick long needle there, that's to standby in case I need to go on drip.
So there i was, poked onto that needle for as long as i stay in KKH :( .. OUCH! I hate needle!
Day 2, 1-Oct, Children's Day... I actually wanted to take leave to spend with Rayden, but was unable to, due to work load. But alas, I still didnt managed to go work in the end. Called boss to inform him of my situation & passdown some of the work to my backup, phew.. hope everytin is fine,
I feel so apologetic towards my colleagues :(
I am still in the delivery ward, under CTG scans & medications. Did my detailed scanning in the morning. As per the doc, no more bleedings, cervix is not open, baby is doing fine, placenta doesnt seem to be low, is normal. So with the scans results, doc allowed me to be transfer to the normal ward for observation, in short, I cant be discharged yet :(
Sigh, I was then wheeled to the normal ward ard 4pm, level 3 ward 34, bed 1 (doorguard of that ward..Haa)
MIL came around 3pm+ to keep me accompany as Hubby is preocuppied with work & need to go JB. But how i missed Rayden, din see him for 1 day.
Day 3, 2-Oct, when the senior doc checked on me, I asked if I could be discharged, coz no more bleedings, and the contractions seems to be under controlled.
But doc advised me to stay for another day for observation. Initially I thought of insisting to go home, but hubby persuaded me to stay for 1 more day,
as there are nurses to take care of me, it will be troublesome if I need to re-admit to KKH again if my bleedg occurs again. OKay!
Rayden came with Hubby, MIL & my parents after his Yamaha's class, tat's around 8pm. Though it's late but am so happy to see them esp my darling Rayden!
Day 4, 3-Oct, Senior Doc came during the morning check.. hee Finally I get to go home!! yeah!
Had my breakfast & slowly packed my stuffs to go home.. Hubby arrived with Rayden & FIL around 12nn, off I go.. yeah!
Oh ya the needle is finally out! hee... it's really fat & thick, left quite a hole on my hand.
I was given 2 weeks long of medications, to be taken every 6hourly and was given 2 weeks of Hospitalisation Leave to rest at home.
Home SWeet Home!

Not sure how big is the hopsital bill size, but i guess should be fine, as I've staying in Class C ward. Will thru MediShield, as per Charlene (our
Prudential agent), we cant claim it using Prushield, as it doesnt cover pregnancy related issues.
Well, during the stay, I find KKH, of coz the facilities are great, the nursing care & doctors are wonderful too, but the meals served are not as superior comparing to other hospitals i guessed :P
Was a little bit dissappointed with Dr Adrian, coz many of my frens asked, did he follow up or visit him during my stay. NO leh.
As per the senior doc, my blood test results/scans were not faxed to KKH despite KKH calling them on Day 2 for reference.
Anyway, since i gg to deliver soon, think no more of negatives, juz pray all the best for my #2 :)
Brought my gynae visit forward to this coming Thurs, 7Oct.

Last but not least, thanks for everyone's well wishes, & of coz Hubby's great support & help during my bedrest period :)

My Bundle of Joy#2 (week28 ~ week33)

27-Aug-2010 (week28)
Nothing much going on, as usual waiting for the next gynae visit.
But my vaginal discharge didnt seem to be improving, wonder is this an infection or wat. I guess gg to highlight to Dr Adrian again, hope he can gv better advices this time,coz when baby go thru the birth canal, wonder will it affect my baby darling or not. :(
Just a simple update on myself, currently weighing 63kg (put on 9kg), my waistline measuring at 38" ... fatso fatso.. haa
Lil Rayden still the same, playful & cheeky, he is 13.9kg now. Whereas Daddy Chris.. haa he's just 1kg+ heavier than me, i gg to surpass him very very very soon :P
As for lil baby darling.. keep moving & vibrating frequently, wondering wat is he doing, and he's very active ard 1am+ .. Another
Owl!... haa

09-Sep-2010 (week30)
Took Half day leave today, my plan, meet Hubby to see my lil #2, go home & prepare to bring Rayden for the Barney's Show at 730pm at Expo Hall.
The plan went well for tat day, but phew, it was really time grabbing for me, taking public transport really eat up a lot of time.
Baby#2 doing well, placenta, umbilica cord, water bag level normal & fine, head is down now. He's weighing 1.6kg now at wk30.
Mummy is weighing 63.5kg, waist 38". Rayden kor kor is 13.5kg.
The nurse said she have booked TMC for my delivery & i shd be receiving the letter soon .. I need to book my TMC hospital tour soon lo.. Hee
Told Dr Adrian about my vaginal discharge again, I was given a pill to pop in this time, it seem to get better but it did not solve the issue :(
Sighz, continue to monitor then... My next gynea visit 27-Sep (Mon).


28-Sep-2010 (week33)
This week, been having stuffy nose, all thanks to the Mooncakes i've been having :P
Took halfday PM off, went for the TMC hospital tour at TMC, trying to decide what type of rooms I wanna stay in during my delivery and wat/where to do during delivery. Signing up with SBI programme is good, I get 3 booklet on the Childbirth, breastfeeding and baby care. I was still panicking where did i kept my old antenatal notes, thought they be handy during my labour, but the booklet on childbirth is adequate enough I supposed.
Met Hubby up at 1pm+, had our lunch at Delifrance then proceed for the hospital tour, roughly last 1hr.
End of verdict, TMC is good & new, but I find the space is small and cramped compared to Mt A. Overall, I'd think Mt A is better, but having with
the SBI programme, I have some discounts with TMC, hence will stick with TMC for the perks.. Hee..
TMC is not bad too, but I'd thought Mt A is more spacious and able to gv me a peaceful mind.
So now to decide which type of single bedded I want. gotta consider all factors ..hee...
The tour ended around 3pm, then off I head home while Hubby go back to his office.
Around 5pm, I popped out of the house again with lil Rayden for my gynae's visit.. off to see didi, took bus 965, Rayden is well-behaved, well,
thanks to the iphone eh!
waited for less than an hr, 15more pax to my turn.. Hubby is unable to join due to his late appointment in Temple St. So Rayden is the lil subsitute..
Haa... WEnt to the library then to see didi then to Ajisen for dinner. Lil Rayden didnt have a good appetite, I guess because of his persistent coughing :(
Ok ..Didi is doing fine & good & keep kungfu-ing in me.. haa
He's 2.2kg at week33.
Mummy's wt is 65kg (omg!)
Waistline 38" (:P)
MY gynae visit will be scheduled to every 2 weeks once. Next visit 12th Oct.

26-Sep-2010 FOC show: Voyage De LaVie

Another simple Sunday, finally JY is cleared of his fever for quite a while already, so I supposed he's safe to go for a dip.
Brought him to Yishun Safra, where my 2 lovely boys played.. haa I'm as usual the bag keeper.. Enjoyed the water fun for about an hour more, time to head to my parents' place. Had our lunch there and nap for lil Darling, while my active Big Darling go on for his routine basketball game in the east.
Yeah, tonite I got something to look forward to, watching Voyage de LaVie at RWS! FOC tickets from Hubby's fren, how nice?!
Wanted to bring Rayden along, but afraid the loud noise etc might frighten him, so didnt bring him in the end. While travelling to RWS, we passed by the Grand Pix F1.. Wow, the sound at the exact place sound shiok! really make a lot of difference than
watching it at home. Cool!
Around 820pm, we finally reached RWS, just in time for the show. The show last about 1.5hrs, well, not bad, but actually we kinda expected more, I just grade 7.5/10, whereas Hubby gv a even lower grade. Hee.. maybe we are just being too difficult :P
Overall, not bad, worthwhile since it's FOC :P, should have brought Rayden along, it wasnt exactly so deafening nor scary.
We ended our Sun nite for Supper at ChongPang's tou hua.. yummy! I finished the whole bowl of touhua + "butterfly" hehee.. :P

22-Sep-2010 Mid-Autumn Festival

Well, after the long weekend, Darling Rayden suddenly developed high fever (~39C) on Wednesday, took Childcare leave to look after
him fulltime on Thurs, and brought him to Dr Yong. After 1 full day of tender loving care, hee by nite time, his temperature have
dropped below 38c. phew.. he's seem activer than the nite b4... great.. tat's wat a mummy want to see in a unwell child.
Hence that weekend, not much activities except attending classes.
18th (sat), there was a event at Lower Seletar Reservoir, Romance by the Park, in celebraton for the Mid-Autumn Festival. After dinner at MIL's place, we went over to the reservoir around 8pm+. The whole place is full of people... This is the first time we popped over after the renovation, the place is still pretty smaller..
Seeing Rayden alone, running away to join our stranger kids.. I felt kinda sad.. he have no close frens nor siblings to play with, he very much wanted to have fun with kids of same age, but thankfully, Rayden have quite a "open" nature.. haa aka thick skinned,he will run to those big group of kids, tag along and followed them, trying to be part of them. Some of the kids are fine with his prescence but not all .. I hope his little feelings wasnt dejected when he was rejected. Next time gotta invite kids of his age to join, i'd love to see Rayden having fun... :)
Having nearly "losing" Rayden at Jurong Pt b4, I kept a close eyes on him, u know the kids are running around in tat crowded place,i afraid, he might juz follow the group and ran off without me knowing. I glued my eyes almost 100% to him, but that brought a bit of unhappiness to Hubby, coz he brought along his N90, but no chance to take pics, as Rayden is running around w other kids, and I was paying full attention on Rayden with my eyes.. haaa no mood for phototakings at all. Hubby "accussed" me of being paranoid, he wont get lost. But I explained to him, having the last incident, I will not take any chance. :P
The nite ended fine, we left around 9pm+....
On the actual day itself, Wednesday, Zhong Qiu Jie.. Ironically, the whole neighbourhood seems rather quiet. We did not plan for anything as well, it's just another usual working day, as it was pouring in the afternoon, the grounds are wet, the more reasons I have to stay at home.. haaa
So, tat goes our Mid-Autumn Festival.

10-Sep-2010 HariRaya@ExplorerKid

It's a Friday & it's a Public Holiday, Yeah!
In the morning, our part-time Domestic Helper was here, so juz another lazy morning, then around 1230pm, OFF we go to E!hub.
Meant to have chalet stay for this weekend, but due to the wedding invitation of Hubby's colic, we gotta call the event off.
Luckily Mummy Jazz is keen, else me & Rayden would have to rot in the chalet.Haaa..
Had our lunch at E!Hub, a healthy noodle bar we went, Hubby is full of praises for it, yup, agree it's quite good, esp the side dishes.
Met up with Mummy Jazz to pass her my Union Card for her chalet check-in. After our meal, we proceed to Explorer Kid as planned.
Rayden is thrilled to go, I think this is the only 2nd or 3rd time we went since we became member there. Too lazy to go, so far away.
Haaa... Anyway, phew the queue was long manz! Blame it on the PH lo, every parents were free.. haa.
We spent abt 2hrs there, with Rayden running around and having fun, then off we proceed to MIL's place for Rayden's nap & dinner.
After tat, Home Sweet Home for us... ZzZzzZzz..

09-Sep-2010 Barney's Space Adventure

It's Thurs, the last working day for the week. Hee... Took half day afternoon off. I have a few events planned for today.
heee.... Lunchtime, time to go to see #2 at Dr Adrian's clinic, meet up with Hubby at SengKang, had lunch together, sighz, as usual waited from 1pm+ until 3pm+ then managed to see Dr Adrian, for like less than 10mins.
Baby is doing fine, like I have mentioned in my Baby2 posts.. Hee... read from there..
Before 4pm, Hubby sent me home, Rayden was napping ... good good..everything went as planned.
Around 530pm, woke Rayden up, coz need to head for the Barney's show at Expo, I have planned my route. Take bus 858 to Airport, have our dinner there then MRT to Expo for the show.
Reached T3 around 6pm+, let lil Rayden had some fun at the playground until 630pm, then rushed to foodcourt for his dinner, phew,the time wasnt as ample as I thought,around 7pm, we moved off from Changi Airport Terminal to Expo.. OMG, the show is at Hall2, the other end of the hall..phew... As we are already late, walk & drag Rayden to Hall 2, it's such a long tiring walk from Expo MRT to Hall 2.
Phew, finally reached Hall 2 at 740pm, as we sat down, the show started.
We got a Cat2 ticket, cost me $60.50 each.. Well, worthwhile, the view is not bad, right in the middle. Well, was the fun nice?
Hmm... average I'd think, telling from Rayden's lukewarm reaction, I guessed it's soso only, I think those FOC show at shopping malls was more fun.. haaa.... Anyway, nevermind, there's always the first trial. I'm very proud of myself to come this way for Rayden, having to move around with big ball #2. heee .. The show ended around 9pm, Hubby came to pick us home, how nice! :) tat marked the end of my day, phew!
I'm dead tired!

02-Sep-2010 My Day!

Heee... always on this day I feel so bad, coz my dear hubby will be planning something special for me, then looking back, on his bday I din do much :P ..feel abit bad ..
Meant to apply leave next Tues (7Sep), to bring Rayden to a FOC movie treat from SWensen's, Cats & Dogs: Revenge of the kitty Galore.
But too bad, my leave wasnt approved by my boss, coz of QBR day1, hence no choice but to cancel it. Well, was kinda disappointed.
Then Hubby suggested why not take halfday leave on 1-sep (i am supposed to clear AL by Sep), Rayden don hv class on Teacher's Day,so I could bring Rayden to town to meet Hubby after work and then shop for my bday gift & our Dinner.
Everytin went on plan, haa but except some blurness from me again, hold up our timing. By the time we reached the shop around 705pm, the shop is already closed. Hubby is so disappointed. Well, I am not so, but I was very touched by Hubby's sincerity .. hee I told him even if he don buy the gift, I am happy enough to see tat he cares so much.. haa I told him, I am very easy to "hong" haa just show me
your sincerity, material stuffs doesnt mind so much..Hee..
So around 8pm, we reached The JeWel, Black Opal..for our dinner. Very nicely decorated posh restuarant, with a terrific scenic. But the food is soso ... Ok but not fantastic. The set dinner cost abt $100++ , which is ok, quite reasonable for such ambience.
As it's a weekday, there isnt alot of pple, eventually by 9pm+ we are the only diners there..haa.. Hubby said he booked the entire restuarant for me.. haaa yeah yeah.. kekekeke... Rayden enjoyed himself too, he's always happy with both of us around him.. haa
We ended our dinner around 1030pm, we are all so tired.. haa Hubby still gotta drive us all the way back home.. Poor Big Darling..hee :P
Thanks for everything Dear, life have been great for me, doting hubby & cute lil cheekyboy and another one on the way.. haa
Oh ya, Hubby made plan, we gg to get my bday gift on Sat, well he's getting one for himself too .. :D
