Yongjie is 5 weeks old today. he is a strong and healthy boy. Thank God!
thinking back, 5 weeks ago i was anticipating the arrival of Yongjie... and i could still remember how hard i pushed this big fellow out of me.. kekeke...
thinking further back... ten yrs ago during this period, i was still wondering whether i will be married off.. kekeke... i was still single then, being left on the shelf, covered with spider web all over me...
i had never dare to dream of my wedding since i always thought i would never get married...to me, having the guy i love to love me as well was a fairy tale to me. and this fairy tale actually happened!and i could still remember how much tears i shed during our church ceremony.. tears of thankfulness and happiness...its was like at the end of all fairy tale, "the prince and the princess live happily everafter..."
well, not quite so, i would say... its just another phrase of life, another learning journey. Dating allows two persons to get to know more of each other's beauty... gotten married and spend lives together allow, i would say, teaches us how to accept each other's ugliness...
this is too realistic to be part of fairy tale thus the story always stop after it mentions the prince and princess got married... kekeke...
spending lives together, seeing and accepting each othet ugliness, learning to let each other's ugliness become part of each other's life... this is interestesting! dw and i are like two pcs puzzle that fit together to form picture. my strength covers up his weakness and his strength balance up my shortcoming points.. though we criticised each other at time (esp i would do that.. keke paiseh.. u know woman like to exercise their mouth alot), we know in out heart very well we are made to help each other. i thank God, for this relationship. and i thank God, i am no more on the shelf. kekeke...
now the most amazing and thankful thing is, dw and i are blessed with 3 children. gosh, not 1 or 2 but 3! what a good incredible number! most people will go wow when they hear the number '3' as nowadays young ppl like us will onli opt for 2... further more, 1st one is gal and 2nd one is boy, sooo perfect le, y go for third one, people we meet would ask us... kekeke... answer is, dw like to have 3 and i dun mind having more... cuz i enjoy childbirthing... kekeke yes, i am pervertish!
2 boys 1 girl is so perfect to us. this is exactly what we wanted. though my ideal position was let the last one be gal... but God is good. En, as the eldest gal help alot. she is a good helper, though at time she also problem creators... hahaha...
God is good to us. I pray that our family, our children will be faithful servants to God and let HIM use them almightily. i pray that my children will never stray away from God. Amen!
我的骄傲！

shoo shoo jaundice!!!
time flies... confinement over soon... nanny will be leaving tomorrow. thank God and thank for meizhen who recommended this nanny to me. she is different compare to my first two... my previous confinement were, i cant wait for nanny to go back so that i can handle the baby myself... for this time round, i feel bit sad that she leaving soon :(.... frankly, at first i did have some complain of her... hehe... i find her quite kaypo... but later then, i find that other than tt, she is ok... (oh... to yongen, nanny is too naggy... kekeke... can see that yongen and nanny do not like each other... once caught en whispered to nanny "you dun keep saying me hor (in chinese)" i find it so funny... but of course i did not laugh it out la)
yongqi's onli problem now is his jaundice... its still in an upward trend despite he is already 27 days old... doctor from polyclinic has done thyroid test, urine test, liver test on him le.. all tests are cleared (thx God)... so now dr suspect that its prolonged jaundice due to breastmilk.. but dr also commented that at this age, even it is bm jaundice, the index should be maintained at certain level, if not down trend... thus he is worry that it might be due to some other hidden reason...
dr advised me to introduce formula for at least 2 days before the next test so as to prove that it is indeed due to breastmilk... i was very reluctant to do that! my friend suggested that i could instead of doing what the dr advised, alternate feed the baby with bm and formula... hmm... i dun feel gd abt giving in to formula la...
yesterday we went for another check up... the jaundice was still going up.. dr asked us to check again coming friday. if it still uptrend, then they will refer us to kk for thorough check...
haiz... i was rather worried abt fri jaundice check... if we really need to go to kk, then it would be quite troublesome... what if yongjie need to be admitted to kk? noooo..... at that point of time, i was really "six gods no main" (in chinese, liu shen wu zhu)... i called kk lactation nurse, east shore lactation nurse and breastfeeding support group to leave messages. after then, i was too 'luan', i asked my nanny to go to super market to purchase a tin of formula powder. i decided to adopt the alternate feeding schedule.
later then all the parties returned me calls... all of them encouraged me to continue with breastfeeding. they assured me that even it is bm jaundice, the jaundice wont do any harm to the baby. if the jaundice is due to other reason, then bm is even more essential to curb the prob. they also said that i should encourage yongjie to drink even more so that he can pass out the bilirubin in his poo... the breastfeeding support person, after hearing that when i am feeding jie, he always squim and twist, keep popping the nipple in and out... the person said maybe yongjie wanted to pee or poo but he did not want to do it in the diaper... she forwarded some info on this to me...
in the evenning, we gave yongjie his first formula feed. after 3 hours, i latched him for bm. he didnt take much. he even puked on me! i was soooo frustrated!!!!
at night, i tossed and turned. i prayed in my heart, asked God for guidance and wisdom. should i continue with the formula? or press on to feed him my bm? the thought of next feeding would be formula again made me feel guilty and angry with myself!
thus at that moment, i decided to give up the formula, press on with my bm. and after reading the breastfeeding support person's email, i took out jie's diaper today and put him on potty after he squimed and twisted, popped my nipple during feeding. and woohoo.... he really pee and poo! i was so happy! kekeke... very the good leh!!!!
really need to pray for yongjie! Og God, pls heal yongjie his jaundice. let the index come down. thank you God! in Jesus name, Amen!

Many many thoughts...
Yongjie is 12 days old le... Everything is good and fine! I really thank God for all things. I never know how blessed I am till my confinement nanny keeps saying I very 'yong' (fit) and recover very fast.. She told me many of mummies she attended took abt two weeks to recover from wound, whereas I look so well since the day she saw me (which is day 2 after given birth).. She commented I dun look like like I just given birth at all! Praise God!
Really thank God for good milk flow and supply! Yongjie has been very well fed since day 4 and now he will always pay me with a big 'burp' after each meal! Kekeke....
The another thing to give thank is yongjie's jaundice. Though it's still under observation by Polyclinic, doc said he is mature enough so need not phototheraphy. Woohoo! So glad that he dun need to return to the hospital for light like his two elder siblings. (I was actually in stdndby mode that he would be the same as en and Qi lor)
yongjie really makes me proud of him.. He is so adorable and alert. He could trace noise and turn towards it.. He gives good eye contact. He is very mature.. He also establish good latch on skill since he was two days old. Very clever boy indeed.
Yesterday friends from mer visited me. Before they left, my lady friend hugged me. The hug sent me into thoughts again.. I remember end of 2008 the same friend hugged me to console me lost of yongle. Ya I suddenly thought of yongle... I never forget abt yongle. I will always remember to claim him from Jesus when I get to heaven. :))
yesterday dw brought Qi to the church. I was sort of quite worry abt him as he just recovered from viral fever. Thus I sent SMS to some of my trusted friends, asking them to monitor Qi and not let him take heaty or cold stuff.. Really thank God for these church sisters. Cuz of them, I can be very 'fang xin'! Ya, thanks alot sisters. Love u all so much! Thanks for taking care of my kids..
Really have many thoughts... Guess I have too much time... Kekeke... Really thank God for my hubby my children my parents my siblings my in laws my church sis n bros..... Thank you all! Muck!!
