The husband and daddy..
Right after Jerry pops out, I can’t decide whether I still love my husband or am starting hate him. Never the bit that his attention was all on the tiny bud since the moment he pop out and forgot about the well-being of the mother (ello, its me!!). Haha. You know, he’s literally glued to his iPad/iPhone all the time.. So I asked.. Hey, now that Jerry is out, are you donna drop your iPad and attend to Jerry? He looked at me and went…can I have an iJerry please?! When he was going to attempt to carry Jerry.. I went, hey, remove your watch (it’s his rolex), wait you…

Jerry’s birth story
And so, after being in pain for almost 13hrs, I had my breakfast and was asked to head to the delivery floor where all the holding rooms were and waiting for gynae to come check on us. Us because my gynae was going to deliver 4 babies (one after another) and all the mummies were being placed together. He checked my dilation, 2cm and proceeded to break my water bag. Just like how many told me, it was a warm fuzzy feeling.. But moments later, I had some really bad news. The baby is in distress and has already passed faeces in the womb. If the baby swallowed the faeces…

Meet my baby Jerry
Born on 5 May, 2011 at 1459hrs, weighing 2.98kg, 49cm and 33cm head circumference. When the gynae threw him on me the moment he popped out, I got a real shock when he opened his eyes and stared at me. Of cos, he couldn’t really ‘see’ me. Havent really had the chance to interact much with Jerry yet, he spent most of his first day in the nursery under the warmer. heck.. I don’t even have pictures to show and tell. These are stolen from hubby’s phone, which has since changed his focus to the baby ever since he popped out! Case in point – was still in the delivery…

Reporting live from the hotel.. At Thomson.
Ok. So I survived through the night of contractions, turning/tossing on my bed. Found out the reason why I was in pain ever since I left the clinic. My gynae already induced me! He inserted a tablet and I tell you, my worse hr was spent at the lobby last night, alternating between pain and finding a comfy position. I was super unglam, but who cares?! The admission procedures took more than 30mins and I survived on my own for that long… And the boy almost had to head home and leave me here, cos there are no more single rooms. He upgraded my room to a premium single! Wah,…

The last gynae visit..
Before jerry pops! Just saw the gynae it’s not looking good! 1cm dilation, I’m just not ripe enough! Am currently being hooked to the ctg machine and I don’t know what he did earlier, but I’m like having bad menstrual cramps lying here. Argh. And being hooked to the ctg machine for the last 40 mins with minimal movement is causing me much distress. I need to move around! Doesn’t help that my throat is irritated and the pain is magnified with each cough. Okie. I have to be induced. Either that, c-sect to get the baby out. Jerry is 3kg and head circumference is 33cm. Am going to try…

Still wide awake.
2 hours after I said good night earlier, I am still wide awake. Heck, I even filed my nails and trimmed my brows in the process and also ate a bowl of kokocrunch cereals. Plus read a couple of blogs, and set up my google reader. I feel sleep deprived. Amidst random contractions that I am feeling. Yawns. I really want to sleep you know, have to wake at 8am tomorrow to vacate the bed (the new mattress is coming) and I need to pop out of the house while it’s being delivered. The mum’s orders. Oh wells. Put me in a slumber soon! Posted via LiveJournal app for iPhone.

Pregnancy update – 40 weeks & 2 days.
Ok. Turning 40 weeks and 3 days in a bit while I pen this down and get this post posted… I AM STILL PREGNANT!!! and hanging around waiting! And I wonder why my baby ain’t ready. I didn’t really expect myself to hit full term actually, not especially with all that pelvic pains/discomfort that’s restricting my movement and mobility. Maybe it’s jerry’s way of having me get some rest clocked in before he pops out and create havoc in my calm little world. The funny hubby was lying all the soft toys around and about the bed tonight, all staring into the ceiling, in one tight circle. what are they…

The labour day joke.
I played a cruel joke on my friends on twitterland. Those on my twitter would know! I tweeted some time in the afternoon.. Baby Jerry & me! Haha. That’s the baby Jerry I was referring to. =) I feel a little jealous of my baby, because the hubby readily buy ‘rubbish’ for his son-to-be and I somehow, I feel neglected! I want a present too and since mother’s day is coming, make it TWO! I’m day dreaming, I know. Please don’t slap me awake and maybe, my dream would come true?! (can someone PLEASE go hint my hubby?? Pretty please?!) haha. I wouldn’t mind a rolex, or a macbookpro, or…

Week 39 and 3 days – doc’s prescription = sex
Popped by the gynae again this morning and was a little disappointed. In the past, I look forward to the gynae visits so that I can see Jerry on the ultrasound machine. These days, I look forward to the visits hoping that the doc will say.. Oh, you should admit into hospital for delivery. Of cos, that didn’t happen which explains my disappointment. Haha. Baby’s weighing 2.9kg today, just 100grams heavier than last week..Seems a little small! Is it the fact that I stopped taking the multivits and fish oil? Somehow, they spoil my appetite and I usually end up vomiting on the days I do remember to take them…

Medela breast pump from the US
Just for the record.. If you are ever intending to buy a US model (please do, because the savings is very significant).. You don’t need to use a voltage transformer here in Singapore because it works.. Just like all my other US appliances (ASUS netbook, toshiba laptop) that I own. I just charged mine yesterday for 24hrs and it works perfectly fine, despite my aunt checking with the sales person in US and they confirming that it is not auto-voltage and cannot be used. Wth?! sometimes, I really do wonder if they really know what they are talking about (you’ll be surprised to know that many many US residents/citizens never…
