she's a little bit of me...

the thing kyria obviously got from me, is her huge appetite, and her impatience if made to wait for food... if only she likes to sleep as much too... =p

yup... she looks like daddy

nanny placed her on her tummy today, and kyky looks like she's pretty comfy =) and yup, she's daddy's girl...

excuse me waiter... can i make my order NOW?

^ first... the stare...

^ then... the tongue

^ followed by... the wail...

^ and finally, have milk, won't cry

someone to call my own...

kyria sleeps like me =) i like to lie with my hands stretched out behind my back too... papa calls it lazy sleeper... sometimes i sleep like a starfish too... arms and legs in all places possible... i think kyky's taken up this trait of mine...

hello... my name is mommy

i'm a 6-day old mommy now... it's been nerve wrecking, mind boggling and most of all, awesome...

kyria brings us lots of joy and unexplainable emotions... when i look at her, i am amazed at how someone like her, can bring me and papa speechless at times... and yet, at the same time, we have so much to tell...

her routine is more or less fixed now... when she screams her lungs for milk, everyone gets into a frenzy... but she's a contented little one when she suckles on her cow (aka...moi)

look at a few of her many faces... see which one she likes to make the most =p

kyria ang kai lin... 洪 恺 璘

here's my little bundle... we've named her kyria ang kai lin... kyria (proun. kee-ree-ear) is a greek name which means "noble lady"... kai (愷-traditional/恺-simplified) means "be joyful, contented" and lin (璘) means "lustre of jade"...

she has this little grin of satisfaction each time she drinks her milk, coz while she's taking in, she letting out on her bottom as well, very cheeky ... and while nanny is trying to burp her, she gives a huge yawn and falls to sleep... but she's all well and healthy, for which i am grateful and thankful for...

my beautiful miracle...

she's here... finally... and her journey hasn't been easy...

i went to see dr. chew this morning... and he found out that baby's position has shifted sideways, and my cervix hasn't opened yet... he was concerned, and called for a CTG check, which showed a rather eratic heartbeat that might be due to insufficiant oxygen coz she's pretty big and she's already fully matured... dr. chew advised a c-sec soonest possible...

i broke down... wondering how could this have happened... papa and i decided to do it this evening... dr. chew pulled her out with her cord round her neck... i thank God for dr. chew's expertise and judgement... and here she is... my beautiful miracle...

i'm waiting... and waiting... and waiting...

4 more days... or so it seems... baby doesn't seem in a hurry to come... she's still happily rumbling and tumbling about in mommy's fatty tummy...

i'm getting heavier and slower now... i spent the last 2 days at home 'bed-ridden'-like... it's tougher to get up these days... it's like, there's a thousand pound weight on my tummy and back...

i wonder how her entrance will be... she's been giving me false alarming pain the past few days... yeah.. sort of like 'cry wolf' pains... so when the time comes, i hope i know when it's the real one...

i can't wait to see her... i wonder how she'd look like... hmmm...

soon...

counting down... 15 days more... or even less... i'm scared... really scared... i mean, how am i gonna know when she's ready? will i bleed? burst my bag? or just grimace in pain? i hope the indication's the latter... at least, i'll have time to bathe or something... =p

she's kicking more actively now... it's like a sign that she can't wait to come out... somehow i can't wait, but i'll miss her kicky-kicky feeling, and the way she shapes... or rather, mishapens my tummy... hee

my hospy bag's almost ready... just gotta grab and go... papa's pretty excited too... i think we'll be google-eyed when she comes... how do you react to something... or someone who's gonna change your whole life, and at the same time, be responsible for hers as well? hmmm, i guess that's the wonder of being parents...

mommy and daddy loves you... *muaks*

p/s: mommy's little one is at a bouncing 3.335kg =) yup... she's gonna tear my chee bye big time... =p
