BB # 2 is now 29 weeks old. Another about 2 months more to go b4 she pops. Oh, I can't wait for this day to come... This pregnancy seems to go by faster than the 1st, perhaps I was just too busy and engaged with work to even think or pay attention to.. or perhaps this is 2nd so the excitement level is not as high as the 1st.
Keira now knows bb#2 in my tummy is a "妹妹". Sometimes, she'll offer her drink or food to her "妹妹" - directing it at my tummy ... hehe. Cute! Sometimes she'll kiss my tummy... at times, she'll simply ignore ... haha...
BB#2 seems to be alot more active than Keira when she was in my tummy. Her movements can be rather vigorous at times and it still wow me everytime I see my tummy being stretched to one corner with her movements. Interesting!
I have yet to think about my birth plan, simply because I don't think I have a choice except to have Dr Chan examine to see if I can proceed with natural birth later stage of pregnancy, since I've had c-sect before. At this point, I am sceptical about going natural and later end up with c-sect as it's an ultimate stressful and tiring process! Anyway.. shall wait and see...
Till then...

Keira contracted Bronchitis!
Keira has been coughing (with Phlegm) for the past 2 weeks, with no fever, still very active... basically nothing unusual except coughing couple of times each day. Over the last 2 nites while I was sleeping with her, I would notice her coughing (with phlegm) and crying a little and screaming "pain pain" and then back to her dreamland again. She didn't/couldn't tell me exactly where the "pain" came from and so I thought, perhaps a little sore throat or maybe teething? Get her to drink more water. We did not consider bringing her to Dr N since there wasn't any cause to worry.... or so I thought since Keira is supposed to have Dr N appt for 18 mths jap on Sat (5 April) and we can consult him then....
And so we thought!
Until Friday (4 April), my parents called me multiple times (coz I was on another line) to informed me that Keira was crying alot and kept pointing to inside her mouth.. crying "pain pain". Couldn't sleep during her nap and was starting to look listless. Mum thought I should bring her to doc. So i did, informed my boss about it.. and then left home early to bring her to Dr N.
She looked very listless when I got home, packed her stuff and then headed for Dr N. But she started getting all active again when we reached clinic, waiting for Dr N and her turn - she was back to her usual self! Smiling, walking, running... creating a little havoc....And I began to wonder if she needed to see Dr N!!!!!! gosh!!!
Until... and not until....
Dr N. examined her.... and told me "oh no... she has Bronchitis." Bronchitis??? Sounds very familiar... can you refresh my memory please....
"She has Bronchitis, having phlegm in her lungs now, causing her air passage way to be blocked. If not treated, can lead to Pnenomia. So need to treat her fast and basically oral medication is not very effective now, and she has to be adminstered via electric respirator" ... gosh... sounds complicating!!! How did she contracted this? Or was it a plain simple cough not treated and it got worst, into her lungs???
Anyway.. too late to ask all these.. just get her treated first. It was an expensive affair - >$200 for this! Keira needs to be on respirator 4 times a day, for 5 days. With oral medication too. Arrghhh.. poor Keira!
Here's a pic of the electric respirator, and will need to add some "medicine" to it before administering on Keira. I wouldn't want to take a pic of Keira screaming and rejecting this while I did it on her. Basically, she accepted this for the 1st 2 times, and then the rest of the weekends... K papa had to hold her down, lock her legs and arms, and me administer on her while she was crying, screaming and struggling. When it's time for this, I'll tell Keira... "Wanna hoo hoo?" ... she said "no" ... when she sees me preparing the medication on the respirator... she "shoo me away"!
I can't wait to get this over and done for her! Poor Keira!
