A YEAR already...

Big one is out with daddy.......birthday boy is already asleep...
So mommy is left with some peace to finally....yeah......a very very extremely late update on this blog.....

Well.......as of tomorrow (23rd April 2009) Precious #2 aka Roy turns 1~

A year has past by since we last greeted you into the world

You have changed our lives - daddy's, mommy, & koh koh's

Bringing much merriment, joy and laughter to the family

Not to mention your ever impatient noises when you want things done your way

With all your cries, laughters, smiles, giggles and gurgles

You definitely make your presence felt the day you join us as a family member

You used to be a cranky baby

A well known cry baby

You make your presence felt wherever you are

Crying and wailing just as loud as you want

Daddy and mommy almost lost their minds

Whenever you start your tantrums

You would just cry and cry and cry

For no reason whatsoever

It was one fine night that mommy just stared at you

While you were in the midst of your action

You were already fed, cleaned and had your sleep

But you just continued your drama

Daddy took over, not knowing the solution

Seeing mommy being so helpless

A challenge was on between daddy and you

A total of 2 hours of continuous cry

And needless to say, you won the challenge

The sleepless nights went on for almost 5 months

Nightmarish for mommy and daddy every night

You finally came to your senses after 5 months

And settled to normal bedtime like everyone else

And now a year has gone

And you have finally grown

Much alike your koh koh

Naughty and mischievious

Happy and cranky

But by being just the way you are

Makes you lovable and cuddly

We all wish you the best

In your future's test

May God Bless you my darling

And may you grow up to be a fine young man!

~HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAREST ROY!

MAY YOU BE BLESSED WITH GOOD HEALTH AND ALL THE FINE THINGS IN LIFE~

LOVE YOU ALWAYS;

- MOMMY, DADDY & KOH KOH -

Arrived!

Precious #2 has finally arrived on 23rd Apr 2008.
Yeah.....it's a bit too late for such announcement..w.ell...I just feel the need to at least officially announce his birth...afterall this blog is created for him and about him.....

Precious #2 is officially named Roy Ethan Goh and his birth details are as follows:

Birth weight : 3.27kg

Birth height : 49cm

Birth time : 11.36pm

Birth place : SJMC


Well, there wont be any regular posts here from now.....as mommy is busy juggling her time for her 2 boys! Adios!

A freaking 0.99mm!

As the saying goes "Never take things for granted..."
We always take it granted whenever we come across such statement....dont know abt the rest but for me...it is! and it's a freaking less than 1mm of measurement that is making my life filled with 1001 questions and worries.....

What am I talking about?
well......as from the previous post...u all should know by now that I've been worried about the condition of my unborn child's kidney which is detected to be slightly larger than the other....

So I had my scheduled check-up on Wed night to see the further development of his condition....
Well...not so good apparently....cos we've been hoping that the water in thes kidney should be reduced b ythen but it d idnt. But the good thing is....according to my doc is that it didnt get any larger too....as she was worried before that. And all is a difference of 0.99mm from the other normal kidney! A freaking 0.99mm which makes all the differences and creates the alarming panic in us! Well, as usual I asked the same few questions again...

"What could be the worst, should the kidney stays that way till my baby is born?"

"Well, we'll have to send your baby to the paediatrician to have a more thorough scan on his kidneys and we shall see from there."

"Any other possibilities?"

"Yes! Let's hope that the water in that particular kidney will be passed out through his urine once he's out on his own. And then your baby will be fine." - which is what we are hoping for right now should the condition remains til his birth.

"Any other possible complications?"

"We'll have to monitor your baby for at least a year after his birth for any further complications."

Well, nothing much can be done except for my fortnightly check up to monitor Precious #2's slightly-larger-than-the-other kidney condition. And of cos to play the wait-and-see game until Precious #2 is out on his own!

I NEED THE STRENGTH TO PULL THROUGH THIS.........am telling myself to think positive positive positive!

Different every pregnancy

Had my fortnightly checkup with my gynae last monday (16th March) and was eager to see the growth of my baby...
when suddenly Delaila said "Hmmm...I see a slightly bigger kidney on ur baby!"
That really sent us pressing the panic button.....
"Can u explain further, doc?"
Apparently Precious#2 has a slightly larger kidney than the other and Delaila told us that it's quite normal at this stage of my pregnancy and the baby tends to pass urine in my womb now. So at times he might not urinate it all and save some in his kidney, hence, having extra water in his kidney. Well, even if doc told us not to worry first..naturally as a mother, esp, i got all stressed up and came up with 1001 questions......
my subsequent question was "what's the worst tht could happen if the water didnt reduce as we hope it would?"

doc: " well..the water usually reduces after a while but in the worst case scenario......ur baby might hav damaged kidneys! but i shall not make u panic...we shall see again 2 weeks from now......the consoling part here is that if ur baby were to have some kinda kidney disease, we can usually see both kidneys' size being enlarged...but in ur case, it's only one kidney which is larger than the other....so lets hope it's only extra urine tht he will pass it out soon"

so....i've been praying real hard that it's not gonna give us any worry and i just cant wait to see the doc next week for more confirmation!

see.....it's always a risk in every pregnancy and it's different cases in every pregnancy.....first it was Zach's case in his 4th month of life inside me....now Precious #2 just doesnt wanna lose out on his share of giving mommy and daddy the scare of their lives!......

Drama after drama....

it's been sooooooooooooooooo long since i last made a post here.....
well.......loads and loads of events took palce for the past 2 months tht coming online here and posting new blogs was somehow not in the list of my things-to-do list.......

it was madness after the CNY celebration and our fabulous Bali trip.... just when i thought i could finally settle down and enjoy the final stage of my pregnancy with much anticipation for the baby's arrival................the show begun.........

FIRST, it was the sudden bleeding tht i had tht i had to be hospitalised and be on total bed rest......and given some injections....mind u....they were excruciatingly painful jabs! i'm not kidding cos i know i hav kinda high pain endurance but those jabs were simply much more painful than normal jabs...even the doc and nurses warned me tht before the injected me........hmmm.....pain and suffering a mother needs to go thru......
it was indeed a roller coaster ride for me n hubby.....not to mention the baby inside me which gave us all the biggest scare in my pregnancy.........to cut a long story short...everything went back to normal after abt a week but i was warned by the doc to never...NEVER carry anything heavier than 1kg!!!!

SECOND, Zach was down with high fever, bad cough and flu....argh..................... it was one drama after another..... i was totally drained out....emotionally and physically......couldnt sleep peacefully for many nights cos i needed to monitor his temperature and all........then his vomitting and all.......a total of 3 freaking weeks!!! he just got better last week

THIRD, i caught the flu bug myself after tht! needed a week to recover......

so tht's abt it.......the roller coaster of my life for the past one month!
