Gor Gor Reuben is the sweetest

I remember when I was first introduced to everyone about 3 weeks ago, Gor Gor Reuben wasn't very thrilled with my presence as he probably feared that Mummy and Daddy will have less time for him. Mummy and Daddy would tell everyone that he is still in denial of my presence, so much so he wouldn't even go near me. Well, things have really changed over the last 3 weeks and I must say Gor Gor Reuben has fully embraced me, much to the delight of Mummy and Daddy. He is very sweet and caring and every time I cried, he would run to my bassinet, put one hand over me, and he would say, "It's ok Mei Mei Andrea, I am here, I am here" I know he loves me very much and he will always tell me, "I love you Mei Mei Andrea" Isn't he the sweetest guy!

Thank you Uncle Fandi

 

I am so happy with the photos that Uncle Fandi took of us at the hospital. He even framed 2 photos up for us and I must say it was very well done. Thank you Uncle Fandi. According to Gor Gor Reuben, he is very cool and even goes by the name of Uncle Rock Star cos he has a band too. When I grow up, maybe I can go jamming with him and his band.

Getting a tan..

I have a little jaundice and Lan Po Po decided that I should get some sun. It must be in the morning at 8am and for not more than 15 mins. I have to do this for a couple of days to get rid of the jaundice. Daddy saw me and was kinda jealous that I get to have a tan. He cannot remember the last time he enjoyed a sun tan.

First Bath..

Today I had my first bath at home. Mummy was suppose to use some herbs from Eu Yan Sang but they don't have it here in Singapore so Mummy got Aunty Mei to get it from Eu Yan Sang in KL. Meanwhile, I am bathing in some chinese tea leaves from China which Nai Nai bought during her last trip. Daddy is having second thoughts about drinking Nai Nai's tea now.


And check out how I cannot wait to stand up! Am I strong or what? what....

First Day Home

I was discharged from the hospital today after all the checks were completed and except for a little jaundice, I am perfectly good. Nai Nai was waiting for me at home and had lunch ready for Mummy and Daddy. I saw my new bed and was excited to sleep in it as it looks very pretty and dainty. Apparently Mummy and Daddy decided I will sleep in here for about 3 months before shifting me to the bigger cot bed.


I slept most of the day after I got home and only got up twice to feed. 


Daddy went to pick the confinement lady who took a bus into Singapore from Ipoh. She was recommended by Aunty Mei Mei who was impressed with her cooking. Mummy and Daddy is looking forward to some yummy food from Lan Po Po.


I was quite different in the evening as I got up almost every other hour to feed. Apparently I would ask for milk but when Mummy got me ready to feed, I would fall asleep and would not wake up. As such, I would get hungry very quickly and demanded for milk again. And for some reason, I had lots of crap and had to change my diapers 6 times last night! Mummy and Daddy was almost going crazy. 

Thank you...

Thank you all Aunties and Uncles, Gor Gors and Jie Jies for coming to see me and for the gifts. Hope you like my first slide show. 

I am finally here!

Time of arrival: 3.58pm on 3rd September 2011. I weigh 3.005kg and measure 51cm with head circumference of 34cm.


Mummy was admitted to Mount Alvernia at about 1pm today after settling my Stemcord application at Gleneagles Hospital. Unfortunately Mummy didn't really get the room she wanted but at least this one isn't as bad as the one they placed her in before delivering Gor Gor Reuben at Gleneagles.

Mummy was wheeled into the operating theatre at about 3pm and by the time the preparation was completed and Daddy was asked into the room, it was about 3.45pm. At 3.58pm, Daddy saw Dr Cheng pull me out of Mummy and everyone was very happy the operation went very smoothly.


I was then cleaned up and brought to the nursery to be weighed and measured. After which, I was placed under a warmer to keep warm and adjust to the surrounding while Daddy went to make sure Mummy was alright.

It was about 5.30pm when I was reunited with Mummy and Daddy in the room. That was when I had my first dose of fresh milk. As it tasted new to me, I didn't have much of it. I seem to prefer sleep over milk and slept most of the time after that. I spent a little time with Mummy and Daddy in the room before I was sent back to the nursery while Mummy got her much needed rest.


In the evening, I finally got to meet Gor Gor Reuben together with Nai Nai and Ye Ye. Gor Gor wasn't very excited about meeting me but I guess he was just not sure how to react to me. Even the Dora present I got for him didn't really help warm him up. However, I am sure he will soon realise I am the best sister in the world!


Ma Ma and Gong Gong also came to see me with Cindy Yee Yee, Jie Jie Faith, Gor Gor Asher and Uncle Ivan. Justine Kim Kim also brought Gor Gor Elijah and Jie Jie Esther to visit me. I had lots of attention!
