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

the final lap...

34 more days from today... and then i'll be seeing her finally... i hope she comes on schedule and not early or later... i'm so scared... i wonder if she'll like me... or even get used to me... or recognise me... i wonder how my labour will start and where i will be... *gulp*

gur gur's making herself felt more nowadays... she'd go and roll around, pushing my tummy as much as it can stretch... last night, she was awake at 0245hrs rolling around... i think i'm gonna have a hard time with this scruffy little mouse... she's a night rat! sigh... she's scrumbling and tumbling and rumbling and frumbling and bumbling around as i write now... *tsk tsk... naughty little girl...*

her stuffs are more or less prepared... but i haven't had time to do more... wash her clothes, prep her room nicely... i thought it's still early and i don't want her stuffs to turn dusty by the time she comes home... but i guess i'll settle her clothes first =)

the bags that bagged my big bag heart...

yes... i'm a sucker... but they're so pretty... and a great buy too!!! there is absolutely no limitations on how many baby bags should a new mommy have... don't listen to what people say... what do they know =p

it's suppose to be in bright lemon yellow but i can't find the pix anywhere =) itsn't it 'beachy'? a little heavy on it's own, but i don't care! =) it's waterproof and it gives a very sunshiney feel when carrying it... i even have an extra bounce when i walk *muahahahahahaha*

this is mommy's gift for myself... it's a diaper bag and comes with a pretty and useful changing mat... the color's even suitable for papa if he carries it for mommy... ;p

so... here you are... my deepest, darkest, most evil recent indulgance =) that wasn't so bad, right... hehe... and yes... definately much much more to come...
