Baby G has arrived!!!
Yes, my dear Baby G has finally arrived on the 7th Aug 2012. Remember Mommy wanted 6th, 8th or 9th? He decided that 7th is better for him...
My birth story for Baby G
I really thought I was going to see Dr G. Tan on the 8/8 and may have to be induced as Baby G would have gone passed 40th week by then. Hubby and I were still going around Ikea and Compass Point to shop. On the 6th, we did the usual super-marketing at Compass Point and Hub got me 3 boxes of Durian. Yum! :)
So we had dinner and I came home eating 1 box of durian by myself. We decided to sleep early that night as all of us were superbly tired and drained out. Lights out at 10pm.
All of us K.O. by 10pm and at around 11.30pm, I was awaken up by mild contractions. Thinking that it could be false contractions like those I had from 38th week onwards, I tried to go back to sleep. However, the contractions seemed quite frequent, like every 10 minutes. I decided to wake Hubby up. He told me to time my contraction for the next half an hour and since I cannot sleep, he woke up to accompany me. I was feeling unsure and I asked Hub if we should try to go back to sleep and wait til 7am, send Aden to school then make our way to the hospital. But as the contractions get more intense, I called up my mom to take care of Aden instead. About 1am, my mom arrived and by then the contractions were about once every 5 minutes!
We made our way to the delivery ward at the hospital, the nurse told me to change into the hospital robe. The nurse checked that I was already 6cm dilated and my first question was, "Can I still have the epidural?" She told me she would have to call Dr G. Tan for approval and very soon the anaesthesist came. He was the same anaesthesist 3 years ago!
Honestly, time passes so quickly and it felt like a dream. The epidural took effect slowly and very soon Hubb was telling me that he could see a little opening down there and baby G's head! :)
I was curious so Hubb took a picture of my down there. It's really amazing! :) *for safety purpose, picture was deleted immediately after viewing*
When I was all ready to push, the nurse called up Dr G Tan. She appeared shortly, looking as great as ever with her smiley face, I was reassured. After about 2 1/2 hours of labour (from the moment of admission til Baby G pops!) , Baby G has arrived!
I really want to thank God for all that has happened. The kind of family I have now is what I have always been yearning for. My hubb, my sons, they are my life. And I am very thankful of Hubb for going through all these with me. Its really very fortunate and blessed as I have 2 beautiful birth experiences so far. Thank God for my wonderful gynae Dr G Tan, who never fail to give me the assurance and support.
As for now, I have to get use to caring an infant all over again...

39 weeks and 6th day...
Hello Chewies, Mommy is still not popping! WHY?!?!
Baby G, are you playing hard to get? :p
If Baby G is going to be like Kor Kor, I should be popping today! :)
WHY?
Aden was born on 24th Oct 2009, 2 days before the EDD. We were actually planning for a caesarean as Aden was in the breech position prior to the check up. However, he decided to turn and choose his own birth date instead! Dr G Tan was commenting that Aden is a 'miracle' boy! :)
Hence, if base on my first pregnancy experience, Baby G should pop today as today is the 6th Aug 2012! Exactly 2 days before the EDD!!
So let's cross our fingers and wait...

It's a waiting game now...
Lying on the bed right now, feeling a little teeny weeny bit of super mild contraction. Baby G is 39 weeks and 1 day old in my "oven" now. I was joking around with friends telling them that it must be super comfy inside that both Aden and Baby G love staying til the very last minute.
Yesterday when we saw Dr G Tan, I was already 3cm dilated! She gave us 2 choices, either to induce as Baby G is already considered full term, or stay home and wait til something happens! We decided to wait as I want a really really natural birth process EXCEPT with the help of epidural!
However, I woke up this morning feeling a little uneasy as I was afraid that if I continue to dilate unknowingly without contraction, will I still be in time to take the epidural? And I've heard of birth stories where the water bag burst suddenly! I don't wanna be caught in that situation and be in a mess! And what if it happens in the middle of the night, I would have to wake everyone up and my poor little Aden would be so so tired. So many things to worry about and I don't know if I am making the right choice now - that is to waIt.
And as I am typing this, I hope Dr G Tan didn't go to the hospital just for me. We actually decided to induce this morning and called up the clinic to inform. And since Dr G Tan has already mentioned to us that she will not be free from 7pm to 11pm, she told me to go to the hospital after 11pm. Oh my, just hope she call up the hospital before heading there.
Alrighty, I better catch some sleep now. Will Baby G be out tomorrow?
Stay tune...

39 weeks...
Woke up in the morning with a little spotting.
Went to pee at around 12plus noon and the toilet bowl was bloody!
Would it be D-day?
Stay tune!
I'm on my way to see Dr G Tan now. :)

it's a home run now!
Yes! I'm in my final trimester of pregnancy and Baby G is 38 weeks old in my womb! I'm excited about giving birth once again yet at the same time I know I am so going to miss this fluffy feeling of having a little one kicking. The feeling is so surreal and amazing!
Now that I have to see Dr G. Tan every once a week, she told me last week that I was already 1cm dilated!! However, Baby G hasn't fully engage yet so I shouldn't be popping that soon! I WISH! I hope Baby G can let me have a little more "me-time" and "Daddy-Mommy time". I'm really hoping that he will only come out in August! :)
We were talking about it the other day with Dr Tan and she was saying 6th Aug is not bad as "6" in Teochew is pronounce as "Luck"! BTW, my EDD is 8/8/12. :) And 8/8 means "Huat Huat"!
So whether is it "Luck/Huat" or "Huat/Huat", Baby G, you decide!! :)

30 weeks
We're gonna see you in less than 10 weeks time, Baby G!
The feeling of becoming mommy again is overwhelming! It seems like yesterday when we just found out that I'm conceived with Aden korkor, and now I'm having Baby G didi!
How time flies!
This pregnancy is definitely much more challenging compared to the first. Not that I have bad morning sickness (thankfully!), my emotional health kind of suffered.
During the first pregnancy, everything seem to be going on so smoothly. It could be due to the "honeymoon" feeling we had as we just got together and got married, bought a house and arrival of Aden. Everything was good!
As for this pregnancy, not that Daddy and I are no longer in love (we are very much more loving actually!), things are more settled down and we have to manage a lot of things in every aspects of our lives. Hence, there are moments when my hormones decide to take charge and negatives thoughts began to fill my mind. But I know I have to overcome this and Daddy is in this with me. :)
One more thing to cheer about is my pregnancy weight! Yay! At 30 weeks, I've gained 10kg so far. I don't remember how much I put on by 30th week during the first pregnancy but by the time I gave birth to Aden at almost 40th week, I put on close to 20 kilos! So 10 more weeks to go and I hope I can maintain or maybe, just maybe, another 2 kilos more.
Another milestone in our lives. It will be challenging for sure but I know the Chewies can overcome this together. After all, haven't we been trying many new things together? :)

24th Week!
Hello Baby G!
Mommy is here again! :) You're officially 24 weeks old in mommy's tummy! And we're going to see you very soon my dear! You have been very active in mommy's tummy and I can't describe how I love having a little one kicking. Daddy can never understand. Mommy always feels that 38 to 40 weeks of pregnancy is way too short!
Well, our "expected" meet-up date is 8 Aug. Would you like to be a National Day baby? It's really up to you to decide. Mommy can only hope for it to happen... :p
Anyway, mommy would like to share an incident that happened yesterday.
Mommy was on the way to the office yesterday traveling by the MRT and I noticed a 8 yo little girl looking loss and helpless. She alighted at the same station as mommy. Seeing her alone and helpless, mommy approached this girl and got to know that she's a tourist from Thailand and got separated from her family. Mommy brought her to the station control and waited until her mother arrived. Upon seeing her daughter, the mother gave the little girl a big hug and I could see tears well up in their eyes. Before I realised, I had tears in my eyes too! The mother thank me and we went our separate ways.
Hence, mommy learnt a lesson.
Most parent's first reaction would probably be screaming at the top of her lungs upon seeing the child and start reprimanding the child and blah, blah, blah.
Yet this Thai mommy's reaction was giving assurance to her daughter that everything is alright.
Our actions and reactions toward things can be very different and they bring upon different outcomes.
As the saying goes, "Action speaks louder than words".
What else can be more assuring to a child other than receiving praise and hugs from parents?
That is why Korkor never fail to receive hugs and kisses from Daddy and Mommy daily.
Daddy, Mommy and Korkor are looking forward to see you soon! Be prepared to receive loads of big beary hugs and wet kisses from us! *Muackkkkkkkk!*
With love,
Mommy

Mommy is back!
Hello darlin' children,
Mommy is here again after MIA for so long. :)
Well, the inital set up of this space was to dedicate to Korkor Aden but now that Didi Gibson is kicking furiously in mommy's tummy, to be fair for us, let's make it a space for mommy to rant about you kiddos! HAHA!
Let's just hope mommy will bring this space back to life and by the time you little kiddos grow up to young gentlemen, and hopefully a demure lady (mommy's crossing fingers!), this space will be filled with sweet memories for all of us, the chewies IMAGE. Yes?
So to kick start this new journey once again, your kiasu mommy has once again set up a gmail account for Didi Gibson (gibsonchew@gmail.com), just like what I did for Korkor Aden.
p.s. In Singapore, we have to do a lot of "chopping" in advance. :)
'til the next post, much love from mommy.
