Kai Ann's Birth Story

Kai Ann just turned 1, and I had realized that I didn't do her birth story! That is why people say you gave 100% to the first child, and the 2nd. one you just went along! Anyway, I better do her birth story before I forget the details!

Pregnant with KA was more complicated. I suffer from morning sickness for the first trimester, and during my 3rd trimester, I got Gestational Diabetes, and had to be on insulin. At 36th week, we followed had KA delivered by C-section.

We went to the UMSC early in the morning for admission, and paper works, the mid-wife monitor me with the CTG and everything was normal. We waited for the OT to be ready while Bro and hubby nodding away beside me bed. This time less chaotic, firstly because we were more "experienced" and secondly, this was not an emergency c-sect like KJ had, so everything were going according to plan.

Ronnie stayed with me at the waiting room at the OT while waiting for the Anesthetist to arrive because it was a Sunday, and I did not prebook her. Once in the OT, everything went smoothly, except my heart beat went up and felt the same suffocation when my right arm was not elevated slightly. It happened when I had KJ too. I requested to propped my arm up but they didn't allowed me at first, I did warn them, but not until I show sign of distressed and short of breath only they rolled up a cloth to elevate my right arm, and everything went back to normal again.

Prof. Eugene was very good with his work, getting KA out and stitching me up. This time I get to hold my baby and kiss her before she is wheeled out to meet her papa. Tears rolled down my eyes without me realizing it, till I felt the warmth of them.
Before me is the most beautiful baby girl in the world!
She was 3.4KG at birth, length was 48cm.

Welcome to the world little princess!It had been a wonderful 1 year, and we love you so much!

KJ is officially diaper-less - Mama's entry

KJ is going to be 3 years old soon, and his biggest achievement for this month is he is completely diaper-less! Not even night nappy! We are so proud of our boy! It was easy to toilet train him to begin with, and after the circumcision re have to re-train him. It didn't take long till be got off the nap time nappy, and he only had accident about 3 times during his afternoon nap.
I suspected that he can hold his pee in for the whole night, and decided to try out by not letting him wear diaper before he sleep (usually we changed him into pajamas and diaper after dinner brush up.) True enough he woke up in dry diaper for the whole week, he had an accident before sleep, thinking he is wearing his diaper when he is in his pajamas, and that shocked him when the pee soak through. Since than he will always ask to go to the toilet even when he is in his pajamas.
For insurance we put the diaper on before bed, and sometimes he will request to put the diaper over his underwear (he is still calling them training pants). We were using the diaper cover with no insert for insurance, but so far so good! Hubby does not like the idea of pee in the bed, so he wanted to be 100% sure before he is taking the diaper cover off. To me KJ now look like superman wearing his diaper outside! :)
My dear boy, papa and mama are so proud of you! We love you so much!

They are Growing too Fast! - Mama's entry

My babies are growing too fast, Kai Ann is turning 1 in 4 days time, and Kai-Jin will be 3 in 3 months time!
KJ is very independent in many ways, he can feed himself, and he can even use chopsticks!
He is still a story monster, and can now make his own stories. He can now watch a complete movie (cartoon), but when he likes the movie he will watch it over and over again. His all time favourite is "How to Train a Dragon". He is so into dragon that everything is about Dragons and Night Fury. He even got his grandpa to do a fusion story of 东海龙王(East Sea dragon King) and Night Fury!
Currently I am slowly starting to teach him how to read. We do not intend to rush him into it, but are starting the research on homeschooling, and preschool material.
He can count in 3 languages, speak fluent mandarin, and some English. He like doodling, and starting to draw circle and also starting to draw with theme.
Although he sometimes bully his sister, but this will be over soon, cause the sister is learning fast, and she has started bullying him already.


Our little princess is growing too fast! She is turning 1 soon!
This little chatter box is learning very fast, probably with a big brother around she can pick up things faster.
She can stand unsupported, and today she took 3 steps, but she is too scare to attempt.
We taught her sign language, but she decided to "speak". So far she will only sign "please" and other things she will just "ask" for it.
She call all female Mama, but with different tone. She called grandma popo, and PAPA to all male. Again with different tone. Her brother get a high pitch happy PA!! And when calling her papa she will just wail!
She can say
- Bye-Byeeeee
- 骂骂(scold-scold)
- 打打(hit-hit) (yes I know, a violent little girl, she says this to her brother a lot!)
- Nggg Nggg (sound we make to get her to pass motion in the potty, so she sees the potty she will make sound like this.)
- mei (pretty)
- turn turn turn (anything spinning)

Her allergy is getting better, break out of spots are getting lesser, we know for sure she can't take egg white, but sometimes she get reaction from cucumber, cooked carrot (only once), and kuay teow. But I no longer have to watch what I ate, I had tried eating all sorts of things and she does not have any reaction, so good news for me I get to eat food I like again!

Our dearest babies, papa mama love you very much, stay healthy and happy always!

KJ art

I love scissors, so my mama bought me 2 pairs of special scissors, and show me how to use them. I love it!
Mama show me what I can make from my crazy cutting, I made this chicken, and I gave it to people I love.

Here let me show you how to make pretty paper cutting craft, you cut, and you use glue stick, and stick the colour paper on a white paper.


Ta-Da!!! What do you think?

My number 1 art collector is my ah jiu! :)

Cheeky Kai Ann -Mama's Entry

My darling little girl is growing very fast, with number 2, we hardly notice how fast she grew and she is almost 1 year old!!!

Our cheeky little bee is a potential heart breaker. Her twinkling eyes, and cheeky smile get her away from murder!
We are glad that as she grew older, her rash problem is gone. I can now eat my favourite egg dish. I even tried shellfish, and she seems ok. Wohooo! I get to eat proper food again.
She is now releasing her grip and attempting to stand without support, but she is still learning, and very reluctantly. She is much more adventurous than her brother. And she is now learning to speak!!

She can call mama, papa, ge (brother), popo, fish, teng (lantern), and she mutter teng nai-nai (pretty lantern) yesterday! She did by chance mimic us some words before. And having a talkative brother around helps her pick up speech faster I suppose.

With her turning 1 in about a month and half time, we are expecting more surprise to come!

We love you our fierce little tigress!
