Baby C Wants To Swim Too

Alycia and Sherilyn had their first swimming lesson on Tuesday. Just before they took their nap, I dug out their swimming suits, caps and goggles and laid them on Aly’s bed so that when they got up from their nap, they can hop right into their swimming suits.  Baby who was gallivanting from room to…

Dinosaur Aged Shape Sorter

My mum gets very sentimental with the toys that her kids once played with and clothes that we once wore. She keeps everything from our first blanky to our first Peter & Jane book to just about everything. Oh, she even keeps her maternity clothes which she wore 38+ years ago… which I wore when I…

Baby C’s Shopping Trip Wearing Her First Pair Of Shoes

We brought baby to Jaya Jusco @ Kinta City yesterday morning to get koong koong a Father’s Day gift. It was her first time wearing her new shoes at a shopping center. Baby still doesn’t have the guts to walk on her own yet at a public place. However, over the past few days, we caught…

What The Gals Have Been Up To In Ipoh

We’re still in Ipoh, enjoying the pampering by koong koong and granny… and of course enjoying the glorious Ipoh food. In a few days’ time, daddy will drive back to Ipoh from KL and bring us all back… which will be Baby C and my return back to our home sweet home after being away…

Baby C’s Up And About Again

Exactly a month ago, it was Baby C’s first day post op. She was puking and retching the whole day and had bunches of tubes all over her body. I was waiting anxiously in the hospital for her to get well, with a heart crushed into a zillion pieces and praying for our nightmare to…

When I Could Not Bathe Baby C For 5 Days

Apart from being a health freak, I am a clean freak too.  I can’t stand dirt, dust, stench and absolutely cannot stand not washing my hair or my daughters’ hair, not even for 1 day.  After baby’s first surgery, I could not bathe her or wash her hair for 3 days.  That was still ok as…

Updates On Baby C

Ever since Baby C’s first surgery a month ago, she has been super duper, extremely clingy to me.  She wants to latch on to my boops 24/7 and has been sucking me dry like a leech.  I even have to nap with her for 1-2 hours everyday while she latches on.  The second I pull myself away from…

Pix During Our 4-Day Stay In Hotel, After Baby C’s Discharge

Baby C’s sweet smile of freedom…. finally discharged from the hospital, no more pain, pokes, pricks, prods, insertions, bunches of tubes and cuts.  Notice baby leaning towards one side?  I guess her wounds were still causing her a tad discomfort and she couldn’t sit up straight. Moreover, she had been lying on her back for almost…

My Days In The Hospital

Counting back today, I realized that Baby C, my maid and I had stayed in the hospital for 25 days, which is almost one whole freaking long month of being cooped up in a cold air-conditioned room of the pediatric ward…. 25 freaking long days of not being able to feel the sun or breathe…

Thank You

I would like to say thank you to everyone who has been praying for baby Cassandra throughout our 3-week ordeal here in Penang.  I especially want to thank Paik Ling for going all out to help me organize a fund-raising drive to help ease our financial burden arising from the ginormous medical bill.  You’re really a God-sent…

Baby C’s Happy Again!

For 3 weeks since 5 May 09 (her first surgery), I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for my sweetie-pie to give me a smile…. and she finally gave me her sweet, angelic smile 2 days ago. Since yesterday, there has been more smiles and antics from my sweetie-pie. My doctor gave me the green light…

Baby C ‘s Second Surgery!

By now, most bloggers already know that my sweetie-pie went through another major surgery yesterday evening. My joy of being able to breastfeed baby was shortlived when her tummy looked more and more distended by the hour yesterday. Baby was in total discomfort and she kept fretting and wanted to be carried the whole day. My…

Baby C’s Finally Got Her Mek Mek

Last night, baby’s hand looked puffy and swollen again. Our doctor had to come to the hospital at 10:30pm to re-insert the IV line AGAIN. Poor baby has a dozen holes in her hands now. She’s just one of those babies whose skin is very sensitive to needles. It could also be the plaster and…
