Keira's 2nd month story

Yeah ... Keira's hair is growing since her last "botak" shave...hmm..her front part is growing faster than the back.. strange coz before shaving, her front wasn't growing as fast as the back..haha.....hope she'll have a nice full set of hair before chinese new year..so that she can look cute and pretty when she meets daddy and mummy's frenz and relatives for the 1st time....

Ar Keira is also getting heavier ...hehe wonder what is her weight now..haha...how heavy she is growing everyday..haha
Hmm..lately she has alot of wind in her stomach.. and that makes me worry leh..how leh.. her poo poo also very watery..hmm...and I am also forcing her to drink gripe water (forcing because other than milk, she doesn't want anything clear") and apply ru yi oil.. hope she sleeps better now...

Here are some fotos of Keira at her 2nd month:

On her stroller at IMM Mall:

Keira looks very demure in these 2 pics. I love these pics... so sweet!

In her playpen, not wearing any head gear:

There is something she is looking at.. haha.. a mobile toy playing on the top of her playpen...

Video: Keira's massage...oooh...shiok!

Keira's 1st hair shave @ 1-month old

Gosh..OMG...I shan't be sacastic... but I just can't help laughing at Keira after her hair shave! She looks simply "botak"! Traditionally, the old folks believe that shaving baby's hair at 1st and/or 4th month will help in hair growth - thicker and faster... Well, this is probably the only "myths" that I follow and possible believe, not because I am superstitutious but I think from a logical point of view, it makes sense... coz hair will grow faster due to the stimulation of the shave! Anyway...check this out... izn't that funny?

Ok... I am really bad.. I asked my mum to hold Keira's head still and I took a picture of her head from top-down... so it gives a more defined perspective of how this round thing really looks like. Oh.. btw, this shave/cut costs SGD8/- and my mum brought me to this particular hair salon in Chu Chu Kang where my niece used to shave her's too... apparently this stylist has the experience with bb shave.. so I feel more at ease with that...

Keira says: My 1-month old PD check up and fotos

Oh.. my god! It hurts so much.. had my 2nd Hep B dose yesterday at PD...

My weight at one month old = 4.2kg, just the right weight gain...I am expected to gain one kg every month in 1st 2 mths.. and glad mummy managed my weight gain well haha... otherwise I will be overfed by daddy.. . My length = 54cm.. I grew only 3cm?? how can that be.. I actually look alot longer than when I was born.. the nurse at clinic must have made an error.. or she did not stretch my legs fully la.... haha

Here are some of my fotos:

Papa took these 3 "glamour-lookalike" shots of me after my bath... papa claimed his phototaking skills is beta than mama's... oh well... not bad for these shots I must agree!

And... here's one ugly shot of me in my "ah-mah" shorts... and put on by my grandma.. Hear me: mama was so shocked when she came home to find me sleeping in this big ah mah shorts... haha and mama woke me up from his "shock"....! I heard her asking grandma why such big shorts and making me look so ugly and "ah-mah".. :-p

Well... frankly, I love it! coz at least I do not need to show my nappy anymore!

So.. let me show you.... this is grandma carrying me...can't see her face clearly? haha.... coz I still want my face to be seen more... so either or.. ha.. ofcoz mine! anyway.. not my problem, really... it's mama's fault coz she took this shot!

Keira says: My 1st Month Celebration

yeah... my 1st month.. and that also means end of mummy's confinement..haha . I just love the heart-shape romper that mummy bought for me from Osh Gosh Baby in Seattle.. haha.. and I was still in mummy's tummy then at 4th month... I have to wear all these clothes before I outgrow them..


That's me with Hello Kitty cake.. hmm... why I am able to sleep with such delectable cake beside me? ... ZZzz...zzzz...zzzz.... and still zzzzz-ing.... what's wrong with me?

See the little cutie next to me? That's my cousin Karin! Is she eyeing my Hello Kitty cake??? OMG... I have to watch over it before it's gone!

2 weeks after...Little hands, little legs, everything about her is little!

Her little hands ... check out the dimensions of hers against mine!

Her little legs and oh-so-cute toes! I love them... and they are the only ones that I will smell and kiss... haha

Keira's cord finally dropped! y-e-a-h...!!!

Oh.. finally.. her cord has dropped today (28 Sept 2006), after 15days! We were so worried why it took so long as PD said it will drop 7-10 days...

See that little "thing" on my palm? that's the dried up cord!

1 week after...

It's been a week since Keira came into our lives. She is such a cutie we just couldn't get enough of her! Though she's been sleeping alot.. and also due to her mild jaundice... she still enjoy watching her. But her head is still a little out of shape, and hope she'll grow her head nicely over the next few mths :p

OMG.. I have to post this pic of Keira and papa... just look at their head dimensions! hmm... papa sure loves Keira...

Arrival of Miss "bb" Keira on 13 September 2006

I am back, with my story....
My baby gal was delivered 13 September 2006 @ 4:53pm through emergency c-section.

Here's my labor story:
12:15am - Admitted to GlenE Delivery Ward and inserted pill to induce cervix to soften coz cervix still 3cm thickness..oh my goodness what a "strong" cervix! (Actually I have been having contractions for 3 days already..tightening every 10 mins...)
3 plus am - Cannot tahan contractions, already peaking high. Asked for thigh jap.
5am - Useless thigh jap.. still feeling pain.. ask for another jap but nurse said thigh jap can only use once..ask whether want epidural or not. Said no. So use gas .. another useless thing!
5:40am - Gynae came in, check..bloody me not yet dilated and cervix still not effaced much. Cervix muscles still tight/strong. Gynae said, let's wait and try ..coz she hoped i can do natural birth and me too. I told her contraction cannot tahan, she said.. ya.. u r actually in real labor and ready to deliver but cervix just not cooperative. She said better to have epidural since I am having strong contractions. She did not want to put me on drip to induce coz it will only coz more contractions which will distress bb and me. So said to wait for few hours and see dilation progress.
10am- Gynae came to check again..oh my god, only 1cm dilated. Not much effaced and cervix muscles still feeling strong... this time, she put me on drip to induce liao.. and I asked for epidural. Epidural administered!
Almost 4pm - Gynae came in, oh my god! only 1.5cm dilated!!! She looked worried. This is too slow and muscles still strong!!!!!! arrhhgggg... Gynae suggested c-section while bb heartbeat is still looking well, even wait for another 6-9 hrs, it is not going to help much at the rate my cervix is.
4pm - Prepare for c-section and shaved, wheeled to ops room
4:53pm - BB is out! Onwards - Endless stitching, layers by layers of stitching....
6:40pm - Finally wheeled out of Ops room!! Damn Traumatized!
