Happy birthday, my little baby

After 4 years, we are blessed to have our 2nd little princess, Janelle.

Throughout the 10 mths of pregnancy, daddy has been extremely hardworking to take on all the hsework at home.. This little one has always been small no matter how much durian I tried to eat. And she chose to be straight up from the beginning till the end and therefore, we gotta sch for caserean on 8 Oct. That was the last day that gynae proposed to us.. we tried to give her more time to change her mind and head down..

But this little one has her own plan to see the world.. After our dinner and settling all the things for the big day, I went to bed as usual.. But suddenly, I felt a kick and then noticed that the waterbag has burst.. Calmly, I checked to confirm and called out for J. He's excited and quickly said, Ok let's go to the hospital now.

When my waterbag breaks when I had Ezanne, he was calmer then.. He could get dinner while I bath before we head for the hospital and even climbed up the overhead bridge at the hospital.. He's definitely more anxious this time.. Well, I was too cos it's a full burst rather than jus bag break..

In 15mins, we reached the hospital.. It's 11.20pm. I have called the hospital to get them ready and to inform my gynae.. To know that I'm 4cm dilated and starting to feel some contraction.. It's probably is the walking and chasing at cold storage after dinner that hastened the labour.

Gynae did a last check that the bb still hasn't turn and confirmed a c-section immediately.. Was pushed to the operating threatre and that was when I started to shiver and fear.. it's scary there.. I then had m dose of epidural and I started to shiver even more.. later did I know that it's a side effect of epidural..

When finally came in with my gynae, he assured me that it's ok.. but i whispered to him that I'm really scared.. At that moment, I so wanted to back out.. Gynae was assuring.. Within minutes, she said she's gonna pull the bb out.. Oh my, I was totally lost for words..

J looked over and he saw the bb. Hmm, his 2nd time seeing the purplish bb and I guessed he's braver than many daddy.. then the photo taking.. haa.. I'm jus thinking.. is this over.. I wanna get out of here..

The nurse carried the bb to me.. the first time I held her.. I din have the urge to carry her longer at that moment though.. I believe it has something to do with mother instinct.. at least that what I see in animal planet. haa.... that is why mother rabbits bite their bb, some animals even trampled their bb.. that short while of 'unexplained rejection'.. although the feeling was jus moments.. I longed to see my bb after that..

That was how our bb Janelle chose to see the world.. hours ahead than our scheduled c-section. Well, I sort of expected and am happy that we eventually dun have to choose her birthday for her. But she decided to say hello on the same day by her own choice =)

Happy Birthday, Janelle Yun Xin =)

Ezanne is 4!

Oct 17, 2012

The day that we have been waiting for.. and we definitely celebrated it the 'bigger' way.. =)

Finally decided on the strawberry shortcake cake for the little ger cos no one wants to stick the peppa pig picture for us.. a little disappointed but the birthday ger is jus as happy..

We brought her to sch that morning with her big cake and bag full of goody bags.. But as we reached sch, she started to feel uneasy and afraid that i will leave.. Standing in front of the kids and trying to assure her at the same time.. then the finale of the assembly, Ezanne was up at the front and all the children at the morning session sang Happy Birthday song for her.. She was caught by the much attention and was 'blur'.. Can't even blow her own candles.. but was so quick in cutting her cake.. haa

At breaktime, the little girl couldn't hold her emotions anymore and cried when she saw me.. we joined the class and here's the class photo

Those little ones enjoyed the cake!

After sch, she showed me the present from her English teacher.. She later used it like a clutch bag. haa..
Daddy brought us to downtown east for lunch and she enjoyed her fish at fish and Co.

Jumping around at downtown east..

Proceeded to the indoor playground at Kidz explorer and wow! we had so much fun there.. too bad mummy's phone went flat and only had the camera to take pictures..

Here's a beautiful photo before the phone went out..

She loves the pool of balls and the big playground.. Ezanne and daddy went up and down countless times and that big kid slide down with her.. haa.. and she will shout.. 'go daddy go!' haa.. i think he definitely prefer to play with her this way.. leave the dolls and books to mummy..

After 2 hrs of play.. we went home for our naps.. mummy was so tired too.. looking at them play..
Daddy gave her a treehouse as birthday present.. she loves it.. her fairies went to nap with her..

After nap, mummy's turn.. a meaningful gift for the 4 yr old..

At 4 years old, mummy gave her little girl her first ezlink card, card holder and a minnie book.. was surprised when she read the colours of the rainbow effortlessly thru a song she learnt in sch.. mummy gotta learn it over again.. haa.. and i bet daddy dun know the colours cos his eyes opened real big when she read it.. haaa...

We joined her grandparents and aunt for dinner at a restaurant at punggol promenade.. The Jap restaurant that we planned to go had closed down.. hmm.. so it's chinese food for the nite..

After dinner, headed back to grandparents place to cut her birthday cake..

Ezanne had a blessed 4th birthday =)

Ezanne is 4! ~ the day before

Oct 1, 2012

The long awaited day is tmr!

She's really excited abt it n so m I :) got ready her goodie bags, cake n birthday dress.. Jus for her special day of the yr..

Kids nowadays are so fortunate.. N today, jus before she sleeps, I taught her to b thankful n nt waste food cos some children have no food to eat. Aso that presents r gifts n not a must..

My little bb will b 4 yrs old in awhile..

I love to pamper her but remained mindful that she dun take things for granted or expect things to come easy.. Some values that as parents we gotta remind ourselves too as we always want to give them the best that we can provide..

My wish for her to b ever so sweet n healthy.. Be happy n enjoy learning.. Be thankful for what she has..

Happy birthday, Ezanne!

Mummy n daddy love u.. U r always our baby..
