My little brave boy...

Kaeden developed a sudden high fever on Wednesday night and although we brought him to the GP downstair first thing in the morning, somehow my maternal instinct told me that we should consult Dr Terence Tan instead.

I brought Kaeden down to Kinderclinic and was disappointed to know that Dr Tan was not accepting any walk- in for the day as he was rushing off to catch a flight in the evening... we decided to see Dr Lim instead...

However, upon knowing that Kaeden was running a high fever, Dr Tan insisted on checking on us himself... for that, i am really thankful to him :)

It was really a shock for us as Kaeden turned purple suddenly and was shivering non-stop. He had to be warded immediately. Dr Tan suspected that it could be intestinal infection and as there were alot of hard stools in his tummy, first step was to completely clear all his bowels.

After that everything seemed to flash past quickly...

Dr Tan rushed down to adminstered the IV for Kaeden...

Medicine inserted to clear his bowel...

Poo-ed super stinko, slimey muddy looking stools for 30+ times since the insertion...

And then after what seemed like forever... we are finally given the all clear to go home!

Baby No 2: Week 11 Day 6

Our little baby Tiger is currently 48.2mm at 11 weeks 6 days.



Thankfully, baby is growing well and we will be going for the OSCAR scan on the 31st May 2010 at TMC.

Getting excited and worried at the same time as I hope baby is growing normally. It will be through this scan that any abnormalities will be detected. Praying hard there isn’t any! *Keeping my fingers and toes crossed*

Appreciating my Mum...

The topic of who to look after Baby No 2 came across some weeks back and seems like that someone is still bearing hope that she will be the chosen one... sadly, my answer is still NO... Her offer of only bringing baby home on weekend plus add-on extra service do not entice me at all!

Although my mum has her fair share of making my life difficult for the past 4 years with her set of 'cannot be broken rules', I still appreciate the hard work and love that she has showered on Kaeden.

Her Golden Rules set during Kaeden's time...

(1) Pick up your kid by 7pm on weekdays
(2) No babysitting service rendered on Public Holidays & Weekends
(3) Please bring your kid along for all family holidays
(4) All trips to the doctors are to be made by the parents. Accompanying service can be provided if needed.

Although we understand that her purpose is to have her own time after a long day with Kaeden, it also served to remind us that WE are the parents and hence should be responsible for all their well-beings.

At least she respected the decisions made by us. At times, she does have her own thinkings but will never force us to accept. Most importantly, she doesn't act on her own despite our disapproval.

I also like the way she believe in allowing Kaeden to play on his own and not staying with him every single minute of his waking hour...

That makes my mum the perfect caregiver of all time... not to mention, a super expensive one too!

Baby No 2: Week 9 Day 2

*WAVE*

That was what baby was doing when we saw him/her on the screen @ Dr Ho.

Its about 25.1mm long at 9 weeks and 2 days. Everything looked normal and baby is growing well :)


I took the opportunity to discuss with Dr Ho on the possibility of VBAC (Vaginal Birth after C-Section). Accordingly to him, its not totally impossible but as there is a certain percentage of risk involved and that parents should factor it into considerdation.

Looking at Walker's expression, I guess its fated that I cant't avoid going under the knife a 2nd time.... Well, anything for the well-being of our new family member.

(Been so long since we last saw Klaudia and she is getting so sweet everytime!)

After close to 2 hours of hobbling around with us, the Daddies complained of backache and fatigue! Haha, signs of aging! and so we decided to set off for lunch instead!

Let's go Klaudia!
