Little Bun #2 is 22 Months Old!!

Latest addition to his growing vocab - "Fight, fight!" not too sure where he picked it up from but I am guessing it'd be from his brother whom he so adoringly idolizes. Now it's 'monkey see, monkey do'.. Den-den is imitating whatever his big brother does and it is a joy watching the 2 boys play together (when they are not fighting, that is). 

Unfortunately though, my poor little sunshine seems to be a bit jealous of his little sister and his behaviour seems to be a little 'off'.. not like his usually easy-going self. Frankly I feel really bad that he has got to make adjustments now that the baby is here. The most major change for him is he no longer gets to sleep with me (as I am sleeping with the baby so I can feed her at night) and has to sleep with Daddy and big bro. With baby's arrival, everyone's routine has to be adjusted and I'd say Den-den is the most affected.. from his bed time routine to his 1-1 time with me.

Hopefully he will adjust quickly to the new routine and go back to his usual cheerful and easy-going self. And I am praying hard that the tummy upset which had been bothering him for the past one over week clears up soon. I hate to see any of my kids unwell and I'd rather I be the sick one than them.

Happy 22 months, Den-den.. You don't ever have to feel insecure about your little sister because each one of you have got your own personal spot safely secured in my heart which no one can ever replace. Ah-mi (mommi) loves you to the moon and back!

She is here!!

And here she is!! 

After a long (12 hour) and uneventful stay at the delivery ward, our little girl decided she wanted out. Things were going extremely slowly for the first 11 hours and I was getting rather impatient from lying there. Then all of a sudden, she decided it was time and things progressed REALLY fast. Dillation went from 6cm to 10cm within like 20min and my pain went from a score of 3 to like 9 in the same time span. Things were progressing so rapidly that the midwife wanted me to stop pushing or else the Dr Anu (who was on her way back to the hosiptal from home as it was around 10pm) may not make it in time. 

Fast forward the gory bits... Two mighty pushes later and she's out !! (Yup, I am getting better.. and IF I ever do get pregnant again, I think I can deliver the baby in just one single push BUT I don't think I will ever want to prove that theory.. Mark and I are perfectly contented where we are). And talk about making a grand entrance... our little girl gave Dr Anu and the 2 nurses a rather warm 'shower of blessing' immediately after she vacated that tiny space that was her home for the past 38 plus weeks. Oops...

Presenting to you the latest addition who joined our family just before 11pm on 08 Jan 2015. 

I don't believe my tummy has been stretched soooo much before and I don't know how it can possibly get any bigger beyond this. This is definitely the biggest I have ever stretched to in the 3 pregnancies although my total weight gain at 38 weeks (at the present moment) is around 7kg. Either this is a big baby or there is a lot of amniotic fluid. Walking/sitting/standing is causing discomfort and sometimes even pain. 

For the first time in all my pregnancies, I am waddling around and kind of looking forward to the time when this latest occupant residing inside my tummy will decide to evacuate the constraints of my tummy for more space outside. 

**counting the days till we meet our latest additon**.. Anytime now! (and still no name)

Counting down the days and Little Bun #3 still doesn't have a name.. We are totally clueless. Think it is about time Mark and I start to seriously think about it.
