Megan Blood Test Result

Went for the 3rd blood test for Megan since she was discharged with Jaundice after her 4th day of birth. The reading today is 243, is even higher than last week which is 224. As per her PD, she is already 3weeks old and as long the reading don't go over 300 should be fine. The jaundice should be gone in 1-2months time. So meantime, still need blood test once a week to monitor the level. Feel very sad that Megan have to take blood test weekly, always heartache to see her cry while they poke her for blood. I always wait outside for her as i just cant bear to see them do that to her. GOD, please make her jaundice go away so she won't have to suffer like that :(

Look at my feet....

Look at my tiny feet compare to Mummy's hand...so small huh. Both my hand and toe nails look exactly like daddy's.. funny sharp!! Hehehe!!


Auntie Angeline always capture nice picture of my and Mummy can't wait to share with all of you. Maybe because of the close shot, i look chubbier.. kekeke!!

Enjoying my Mummy breastmilk when Daddy feed me

I am drinking Mummy breast milk from the bottle as i am premature so still hard for me to latch on to Mummy breast. I am drinking 40-60ml on depending on my mood and the interval between sleeping and feeding time. Daddy seem to feed me better as i always finishes my milk when daddy feed me... mummy is so jealous. Daddy want mummy to breastfeed me as long as she could as breast milk make me strong.. so mummy have to pump her milk for me every 2-3hours.. like a milking cow :p haha!!

More Picture

My Sister manage to capture some picture of Megan smiling yesterday while my mum suntanning her. She is such a joy to all of us.. Since she arrived, my house have be filled with visitors... Megan tends to sleep in the day and awake at night.. same when she was in my tummy. Can be quite tiring for me, but luckily i had mum to help and at time David.. Seeing her will forget all the tiredness.

Daddy and his little darling... He look HAPPY!!

Megan @ Birth

Today finally my sister is at my place and managed to help me uploaded some pictures. The above are Megan at birth take by David when I am still under going thru the c-sect. They bring Megan to him, weight her, check her in front of him. Look very difference from now as during then she is still not well clean.

Megan is 1 week old today

Megan is 1 week old today. I am still enjoying ever moments with her... sometimes i still shear tears when i see her as thinking back what i have being through, i cant help crying looking at her. She still so adorable, her little actions like stretching her arms, opening one eyes just bring so much joy to all of us. Like the picture taken above with daddy... :)

Went to see doctor yesterday with her and her jaundice level went up abit again, but as per doctor, she should be fine. Another blood test for her again next Tuesday.. poor baby! Yesterday while she was doing the test i dint went in with David and her as i really cant make myself to see her cry after they poke her for blood... so i waited outside. But next moment i heard her crying, i rush into the room immediately. Kan Cheong mummy!! Megan weight now is 2.3kg gained a little but hope she can gain more.

I went to the gynea this morning to cut away the 2 knots of my stitches.. Not too bad still bearable. But after the waterproof plaster being taken off, felt abit bare and due to the pressure not there anymore it a bit painful when i walk. Want to know how long is the stitches?? The length of it is the size of Megan's head.. heehee!! I never complaint much about the stitches as long as Megan is OK, i am willing to go through anything.

Will keep posting and keep you all posted. Till then stay tune.. :)

My Little Darling Megan - Borned 11/04/08 via C-sect

I had a c-sect on the 11/04/2008 @ 12noon as my blood pressure shoot up pretty high for 1 week. So the best way is to deliver the baby and c-sect is advisable too. In fact David really hope i can go thru normal birth, but after removing the cerclage, cervix still pretty hard so even induce, doesn't mean it will dilate, so better dun take the risk as per my gynea.

We checked into Mt Alvernia @ 7.30am and i was pushed to the OT around 11.20am.. Doctor injected me wz epidural @ 11.30am and the operation started at 12noon. I heard Megan first cried @ 12.23pm and i tell you, that the most wonderful thing that ever happen to me. I cried when i heard her first cried as most of you know i come a long way to have her.. after seeing her for a while, she was bought to her daddy as her daddy was too afraid to be with me during the c-sect. I was really jealous as when i first see her her eyes were closed but when daddy see her, she open her eyes... hehehe!!

I was discharged on 14/04/08 but Megan dint go home with me due to jaundice. Her reading was 11.7 so have to put her on radio therapy. I cried so much when she cant go back with me but luckily David was pretty supportive and drive me back twice that day just to see her and send my breast milk to her.. but still i miss her hips.... Megan was discharged the next day 15/04/08 when her blood test reading is 7.3 and she is ok to go home with us. We were so happy and current enjoying parenthood.

I have to say the path is not easy especially after what i had went thru... But after seeing my little princess now, all is worth it. I never regret anything, even never complaint my c-cect is painful cos no matter how much i went thru, the end result was super.. Many ask me to have No. 2, but i don't think i can as my heart can only love one and is only Megan.

** i will upload more picture when i figure out have to transfer the pictures out from my digital camera.

35 weeks into my pregnancy

35 weeks into my pregnancy and only these few days my gynea found up my blood pressure being going up. Is not a good sign and it effect me and just worry about more complication later. I was admitted to the hospital for 1 day to monitor, but when i am back home, BP went up again. So to be on the save side, is better to deliver the baby. My cerclage was removed on the 08April as it was very last minutes decision, I was at the clinic alone. Tell you honestly, is very very painful removing it as my face went white and i was sweating like dunno what... At that point, i was cursing David in my heart and tell you if he is there, i will give him a hard time. Why do woman have to go thru all these.. i know not every women is like me but honestly is just too painful. That's the reason why i only want to have 1 baby, i salute those that having cervical incompetent like me and want to go thru again and have another baby. Thumbs up mommies!!

My c-sect is booked and confirmed on the 11April, 12noon. I opt for half body epidural so i can see Megan first when she is out. David dint really dare to see the whole process so i will not force him as i know is not easy to see someone going thru c-sect. Dun want him to freak out and later nurse and doctor inside have to take care of him... instead of having 1 epidural for me, maybe have to prepare another one for him... kekeke!! My friend Jocelyne went thru c-sect for her 2 boys and she actually suggested i go thru full body GA since David not with me... so i am very confuse now and still thinking about it. Will decide tomorrow when i am there.

11/04/2008 will be a very special day. Finally will be seeing my precious little princess Megan.. Being looking forward for this day to come and finally i will be seeing her soon. A very special date for me and David too... 11 - David's birthday and 04 - mine birthday. If you look at it another way, is the opposite of my birthday too... as mine falls on the 04/11/1974. In fact David and me always in love wz numbers 11... any special meanings. Will update the post soon after delivery and hope to post Megan's picture in for all of you to see... meantime stay tune... ＭｅｇａｎＬｉｍＲａｅＸｉ 林睿希 will be her full name.
