Little Darling is out!

My dear little darling is out to see the world last friday! Labour was considered quite fast and hmm.. dramatic.. Mummie and ger ger are all well =)
Still cant believe that I am Ah bu now! Everything seems like a dream to me... still overwhelmed just like how Bear proposed to me 2 years ago!
It has been a busy but fulfilling first week as a Mummie! Very physically and mentally draining but 'its indeed one of the best moments in my life'. Tonnes of people to thank...
I thank my hubby for the unwavering support and love for the family and being such a loving husband and wonderful daddy. I have never been so dependable on him since our marriage. The priceless words of encouragement, the endurance of my temper, mood swings, bone-shattering grip and loving + tiredness + excited look of his eyes... Hand in hand, we explore parenthood together =)
I thank our little princess for being so sweet and innocent. Please stay healthy, you are heaven's gift to us, the Ang family.
I thank my mum and dad for their steadfast love and care as Mummie's parents and baby's grandparents. Cannot imagine how to cope without you both.
I thank my dearest frenz who came down hospital immediately to visit upon the news of delivery. Our lives are blessed with such sweet and great frenz. Muacks~ Words of support/smses, the snacks for mummie and daddy, maggie mee, gift basket, hand made presents, everything and everything...
I thank the nurses at Mt A for the emotional and physical support throughout the stay. Baby and Mummie are well taken care of. My utmost admiration for their dedication.
I thank my doctors for taking good care of us both. My gynae for making sure that baby and mummy is all well for the past 10 months, the paedatrician for looking after baby and the anesthetist for making the labour less painful.
I thank my relatives for their support and showering us with well wishes & lovely gifts.
Its time for a restful nite so that I have enough milk supply for baby! Yes, I will persevere! Once again, thank you peopz! =D

Home bound for a week!

My daily routine for the past one week when I am home alone! Can be very relaxing (yar I know everyone is very envious), can be also very boring, depending on which way the pendulum swings. But I am counting my blessing, resting as much as I can now (advice of all mummies)!

9.30-10: wakey wakey!
10-1030: wash up and prepare healthy bf (tomato, ham & cheese & lettuce wholemeal sandwich, , milk) very standard after the sugar scare... =P
1030-12: surf net/ watch hk drama/ check email
12-1: prepare and cook lunch (either yong tao hu or porridge)
1-2: yum yum and clean up. bathe.
2-4: clean house/ pack baby stuff/ do jigsaw puzzle/ read baby magazines
4-5: nap/ watch hk drama
5-7: watch hk drama/ do jigsaw puzzle
7-8: go out dinner
8-11: watch TV/ roam around the house/ disturb the Bear/ try to sleep

So fast! One week just zoomed past like that! And I feel as if I have started the waiting game ~ Just finished packing the hospital bag yesterday (minus away the baby stuff coz baby laundry not done yet opps...) and I feel as if I am preparing for holiday lor when I arranged the items into bear's travelling bag!

Baby! Baby! =D

Just called home to chat and found out that my dear mum is all hyped up. Yar I know its their first grandchild, but there is no need to be SOOOO excited! She goes around telling people its anytime from now and she wants to come over SBW to accompany me EVERYDAY next week. I dun like (or rather i HATE) this kind of unnecessary tension and hoo haa. I knew this was coming... Shut her up that EDD is end March and gynae has not said anything either.

I wonder how many conflicts and volcano erruptions there will be in time to come. Period~

Taking things even slower....

One week of resting at home. Must keep a cheerie mind and stay positive! Yeah, its quite a bit of catching up on afternoon nap coz night sleep is getting more and more difficult lately...

Less walking and less standing... So mummie is perpetually resting/nua-ing on sofa and bed surfing net, watching show, reading bb magazine and doing puzzle!
.
Finally put a finishing touch to my Chip and Dale puzzle! So proud that I finished it in 3 days and its so colourful and cheerie! So appropriate for Baby's room right! Alas.. to my utter disgust, I cant remember where I placed its frame! No where to be found in the house... Its fate was so easily condemned by Master Bear due to its homeless borders and lousy quality --> back to the box!!! T_T So now its time to glorify its moment before the Bear destroy it tonight... At least it kept me entertained for the past few days... =S

The Bear promised to get me another puzzle to keep myself rooted to the chair and not disturb him for the next few weeks (at least) and we found this sweet little Disney Princess puzzle which is even more appropriate for Baby's room! =D Will embark on the project very soon!
.
I need to keep myself occupied and cannot be paranoid!!! As much as I (we) are eager to meet Baby, I am equally freak out by the thought of pain... (My gynae already started asking me to imagine pain everyday since a month ago...Gulp~) Mummie's threshold is very low =S Inhale, exhale... Actually there are quite alot of things on my to-do-list... Hmm, just that I need to spread out the tasks till due date!
.
Drama queen has embarked on a new promising show by my favourite 'laughing kor' - Cupid Stupid! So far, not badz. Yang Yi is so pretty!!

Also just waddled over to Shiyi's place to learn how to bathe bb! Getting ready before I spider fingers! The confinement lady is so nice and makes it seem so easy to take care of the newborn.. Hmm, a fruitful one hr crash course on bathing, feeding and sun-tanning. Will hold a sharing session with bear tonight! And here's a glimpse of Baby Alester's day 1 on 18th Feb:
.
Hoho~ when will our turn come.... Baby, are you ready to see the world??? Everyone is telling me anytime... after week 37... Hmm... Okie, I am not there yet, not ready...

Counting My Blessings : )

Another year older, another year wiser?! Simple celebrations that make life simple and happie =D Lovely friends and sweet moments
Sweet hubby's sweet treat...
