sisters with babies outing!

The long awaited outing with dajie and BL!

It wasn't a good idea to drive with 2 babies after all. Babies are too unpredictable and hard to understand. However, we still manage to survive and reach home safely. :) *pat on our shoulders

I suggested going to.Yunnan garden restaurant at NTU@ one north to have dim sum for lunch. Quiet, and value for money according to review.

We ordered 2 dim sum set and one E-fu noodles. Yummy! Waitress initially don't let us order the noodle, she suggested porridge instead. But we mothers have good appetite for good food!

喂着奶的情人节

我不应该打开Facebook 来读的。几乎所有人都在脸书上分享今天收到或送出什么离去，去哪庆祝。

我却在抱着格格喂奶，打嗝，又喂奶地过情人节的最后几个小时。

人奶是我给格格的情人节礼物,这是我能给她最实际的礼物。她也很贴心地努力让我减肥。她应该是知道我喂越多就可以消耗越多卡路里吧！所以一直哭着，不停地要求我给她更多礼物。

（P.S 附上格格近照，也是我希望她现在是的那个样子）

失眠的早上

从4点就翻来覆去无法入眠 。也许是因为肚子饿，也许是不习惯听到那么多打呼声，也许是这两个星期要和琬玲住在xl父母家有些不习惯。。。

躺在床上读了整个星期的新闻。

写了琬玲日常作息和习惯。

一转眼就快7点了。

顺便上传琬玲近照！

D Day

Before I forget most of the details of the delivery:

The bloody show

Went to check the night before as the mucus plug came off when I shower. Had irregular contraction. Did not felt any consistent pain, so went back home. Pain increased and more frequent in the morning so went KKH delivery suite again. By then, I became an "expert" in taking tocograph pictures. Only 1 cm dilated and irregular contraction. So went back home again. Decided to have a good lunch before the real show.

Morning: Irregular contraction

Take a break

We went to Novena square to have breakfast as it was too early for lunch. Had 'Beh Huey Ji" (Butterfly Bun) and Soy Milk, then Gong Cha. Roamed around at Novena Square as most restuarants are not opened, then we finally decide to go have Korean BBQ at East Coast!

Korean BBQ!

My favorite fruit in heart shape!

As I enjoy the bbq, I timed the contraction. It was getting more and more frequent and painful. By the end of lunch it is about once every 5 min. XL suggest walk around East Coast Park after lunch, walking is supposed to help in the delivery. But the regular painful contraction made it difficult for me to walk, so we went home to rest. 

Had a warm shower and checked some email. As this is the first time, I am not sure how painful is the real thing, I convinced XL to go to KKH delivery suite Again to check.

I am admitted

A helpful nurse helped me take this

 Contraction is very regular, but only 1.5cm dilated. I decide to get myself admitted anyway,as I don't want to guess how much more pain I have to bear before the real thing start.

Me enjoying the first meal at KKH. Soup is really quite nice

The real show

Ard 9pm contraction is about once every 2,3 min. When I think back, the pain wasn't actually too painful, it's the fear and uncertainty that escalate the pain. I was pushed to the delivery suite in wheelchair. (3rd time in 24 hours) 3 cm dilated, the real thing finally officially starts.

I asked for epidural immediately, and was administered ard 11pm, then i slept through the night. While sleeping, I exercised what i learnt from the book 'Supernatural Childbirth'. I asked the muscle to work hard to have a smooth and safe delivery. I practised relaxation methods I learnt at prenatal class, visualised baby through the birth canal. Through the night, the midwife, nurse and doctor on duty came in to check on me. They assured me that I have good contractions. "Very beautiful contractions!" they would praise me, although I don't quite understand what they mean by that.

 By about 9am, I am fully dilated. Midwife taught me how to push correctly, I am lucky to be able to feel enough to push (without feeling pain, and no need for forceps etc!) and by that time baby's hair can be seen already. When Dr Tan arrived, I pushed for a few minutes and she is out!

Side effects of epidural I had:
1) Itchiness - throughout whole night
2) Shivering - just before the pushing till about 15-20 min after delivery.

Overall, I think the delivery process is smooth and rather painless, thanks to epidural!
