We celebrated Grace’s Full Month on Sunday. It was a small affair with relatives and close friends.
There were quite a lot of kids especially with those from Olive Tree’s side. We catered the buffet from Mum’s Kitchen, not bad just a tad bit salty for some dishes.
here’s the photo taken from yesterday.
Have posted the video I’ve done for Grace’s Baby Shower here.

Birth Story
3rd Sept 2007
4.40pm – We went to Adrian’s Clinic, was an impromptu visit as I just wanna check if my water bag was leaking. We had a late lunch at Subway, United Square.
5.00pm – Adrian did a check on my cervix and it is 3cm dilated, Grace still looks so comfortable in my womb sleeping. So we deduced probably, she’s not going to come out that night. We were still jokingly saying that we’ll see how it goes for the next few days, so I scheduled 7th Sept 2007 for the next appointment.
5.30pm – Left Adrian’s clinic, felt a bit of cramps but since I was having periodic contractions, some cramps for the past few days, I felt it was dismissible. Edward said we probably go home that night after dinner at my mom’s. I was eager to go home too, as there was an ITQ (online quotation) to be submitted by 2359hrs that night. Have told boss that I will submit, though am already on leave. 
6.15pm – Thought cramps became intense coupled with backaches. I told Edward about it. He said, sure or not?? As I’ve given a few false alarm for the few nights already…hee… I said, “it’s pretty real!” I need to clear bowels as well…hahaha…. ate light dinner and then cleared my bowel. I’ve called Adrian and told him, “it’s time!!” So, he said he’ll wait for me at TMC…and said, “finally arh!”
7.00pm – Left for TMC, called my colleague to ask him to submit the ITQ for me. Thoughts running about how should I go about my birth process……etc…..
7.30pm – reached TMC, admitted to the Delivery Suite, put under observation. Midwife came and examined, said it was 4-5cm dilated, cervix felt very soft. So she will not administer enema for me. Worry that I would give birth while clearing bowel. Geez… I requested if I can don’t strap to CTG when I am in Delivery Suite, but midwife said need to monitor baby’s heartbeat. So I tried my 2nd trick, went to toilet, to clean up myself after being shaved, and stayed in toilet do my cha-cha! 15 mins later, midwife told me that Adrian has arrived, so no choice lor, got to get out of toilet. Head to DS. Edward wasn’t inside yet as he was doing admission for me.
8.08pm – Adrian came, as usual with his infectious laugh and jokes, lighten the mood of birthing. He burst my water bag, and we make a pact, to deliver in 1 hour!! Silly… Midwife Mary Ann, was scheduled to knock off at 9.30pm, so I said, I will birth before she leave and she must stay till I birth….hee…Pretty nice Philippino midwife. though we miss Pei Pei who previously was my midwife.
8.30pm – the contractions starts to get close and intense. I was massaging my back. I told Edward to tell me when is the peak then I prep to massage. Edward said a prayer while we were alone in the room. As usual, my album to play on my E61, Blessed from Hillsong. Oh, then a cuckoo nurse came in, said, “radio arh? of radio now…. distracting to your wife.” Edward told her,” it’s the way my wife wanna it to be, calm her mind and listen to the Praise and Worship!!” Then she kept quiet…..
8.45pm – Felt the 1st urge to push, so asked Edward to press for the nurse and alert her. Praying fervently, Edward comforting and guiding me to breathe in and out. This moment, thoughts not on the pain but need to focus on the Lord’s Strength! Nurse came in and check me, said need to wait for the next contraction, to measure the dilation. It was 7cm and she said she’ll call for Adrian. The contractions and urge to push becomes greater with each contraction. When I see Adrian, I said, “finally!!” Sense of relieve and joy that I’ll be seeing Grace soon. It’s always comforting to have a very supportive husband by the side and encouraging, helping and cheering you on. Ed did a great job. Ed was telling me I delivered Grace in 3-4 pushes/contractions. I was pushing with all my might and when the ending of the delivery comes, I almost have no more strength, Adrian said, “don’t give up!!” “Push, Boon Hwee!!” Aiyo, that’s really a difference and wonder how he knows that I almost no more strength liao… At the moment, all I can think of, “Jesus, please renew my strength to finish this delivery!!”
9.21pm – Grace Charissa Goh was born! She’s so chubby and with so much hair. The kinda of joy with tears which is unexplainable till you got to experience it yourself. Adrian said, “here’s your baby gal!” The midwife passed Grace to me and let me cuddle her with her umbilical cord still attached, Ed was taking video. Then Adrian asked him to cut the umbilical cord asap as need to collect the cord blood. 
Adrian managed to collect 180ml of cord blood, which the midwife was telling me its a lot. I’ve got a minor tear but this time round, no need for episiotomy. I was more alert to know what Adrian was doing with my placenta, stitching me and all. I think I really looked very relieve and relax after the birthing process as what I reviewed from the video taken. =) I felt weak due to not taking much dinner. So, first thing is to have supper when I go to the ward!! Hee…
Grace’s weight : 3.480kg (7,108Ibs)
Grace’s height : 49cm
Grace’s head circumference: 33cm
We waited for almost an hour plus to be wheeled to the room. Apparently, there are shortage of single-bedded room in TMC that night, as there were quite a no. of delivery cases. Finally, the hospital gave us a two-bedded room and it was more spacious and Ed can get to sleep on proper bed instead of a sofa bed. Just like my first birthing of Seth, I feel all the hype and even though my body is tired but I can’t sleep at all and kept replaying the birthing experience of Grace. Our prayers and thanksgiving to God for giving us a supernatural childbirth and also no complications and all our hearts’ desired. Also, with a fabulous gynae like Adrian, we are in God’s hands! =)
Thanks to all the well wishes and concern from friends and relatives.
Here are some photos to share with you all.

Finally a photo of Seth and his God-sis. This was taken at family lunch gathering last Saturday. We went to Suki Sakura at TPY to celebrate dad’s birthday. Seth had fun with his cousins whom he sees only occasionally.
So lack of updates lately. Of course, reason being I am too lazy to blog and tell what’s happening as I am so sleep deprived, overwhelmed with work (trying to clear and clear), into my 40 weeks of pregnancy is very challenging as I am so heavy now. I can feel so breathless at times….. I want to do things, scrap, sew, what have you but the body is weak. God has been good. Comparing to last few weeks, this week I am more fruitful at work, I managed to list down the major outstanding tasks, follow-ups and logged in POs, cleared my tender submission. This list of o/s works will be sent to my boss, will be surrendering my laptop to my boss so he can access my work and emails. It’ll be good for me as well as I don’t have to burden with work when I am in my maternity. Great to hear from boss that I can go on leave starting monday!!! Better than nothing lor.
Went to visit Adrian today. As usual, my super duper joker gynae, makes my stressful mind relax. The good thing about Adrian is he will chat up with you, and offer his views on pregnancy, shares his knowledge and his read-ups. Also, he even can advice on my work matters…. Ultrasound scan today shown Grace is already 3.28kg! Amazing arh! Adrian is a bit concern as I am smaller in frame. He would hope that Grace will come and say hi to everyone this weekend….. as he said, bigger baby correlates to a harder birthing experience. So hor, asked me to talk to Grace lor. Roughly gauge, I think Grace would probably be born with 3.5kg birth weight. Grace is already engaged. She looks chubby and seems to have Seth’s nose by looking at the U/S scan. The cute thing is everytime we see her in the U/S Scan, she’s like suckling….
Oh, my neighbor who had EDD almost nearer to me have already given birth to her beautiful daughter on Wednesday. Gosh!!! So blessed. Baby weighs 3.2kg. Guess my neighbor would be home tomorrow already… while I am tapping my fingers awaiting for labour…..
Tomorrow would be the last day of work for me. Got to clear as much as possible. Nitty Gritty stuffs, I guess I have to let go. Boh Pian. Felt bad that I owe my contractors some outstanding POs. Anyway, boss has asked me to go back in Nov as he said he wanna take a break as well….. aiyo…. that’s my worse fear lor. But then again, I told him I would let him know after my 1 month maternity leave.

This boy….. started to give us this headache of controlling him in the public. He is flying all over the places and refuse to be carried. Exploring, demanding, what have you! Toddlerhood is definitely challenging. As we thought, he is pretty gentle at times, but when he is demanding, he can shout so loud, I can even hear him when I am in the public toilet! Aiyo! The frustrating thing about him these days, he loves to end his demands with “….. lar, ….. lar!!” We kept wondering who did he learn this from?? From us? couldn’t be, as we don’t end our sentences that often with “lar”. He can go on forever to get what he wants, repeating himself again and again. Very long-winded manz!
We went out for lunch with Jon and Marg at J8 this afternoon. After which, we visited my colleague’s wife who has given birth to a 9 pounder! Natural and without epidural! Baby Jared is so adorable! Here’s what I’ve made for Baby Jared’s parents. Simple card, with the baby blue. My colleague has recorded a video of his wife’s birth process, kinda inspiring me to do the same as well. Told Olive Tree about it and he said, “where got time?! Still have to let you hold, calm you and all, how to video?” (**-) We’ll see. Seeing the baby, caused me to reminisce the time I birthed Seth and all. It’s still so vivid in my mind.
Counting down to 23 days to delivering Grace. She’s now, 2.6kg, so very active in my womb. She starts to drill and drill downwards to my groin area, causing me aches and discomfort (esp. the need to go pee-ing regularly) In a night, I can go to the toilet for 4-5 times! Getting into bed, is tough. It’s tightening and positioning of her in my womb that gets me very uncomfortable. So drag…. but still have to sleep. This 2 nights, I wasn’t able to sleep too well. The feeling as if, I am going to birth her anytime. I do feel aches at the lower back, a bit of cramps. Told my gynae about it but he said it’s due to pressure. Asked me not to worry too much. Probably going to give birth earlier as compared to Seth who is 1 day overdue. With that, I will be more worried, as my work is still piling up, nothing handover to my boss. Why do I worry if my boss can cope or not? Hiaz…. Gynae said, leave it to the boss to do, I should just rest and await the delivery of my princess…. Wish I can be that worry free…. With the regular braxton hicks and work, I get so tired. Thousands of things in my mind. What should I do, what to pack, what to prep. URRRGH!
Ok, to relief a bit of my stress, I went shopping again.. this time round, bought the ever thought for so long gadget!
I’ve been contemplating between the above and
honestly, I love the 50mm lens better due to the great aperture, as you can see from the picture of Seth on the right and above, taken with it. However, a zoom lens wound be good for me as well, since I can have a wider range of coverage and not having to move so much to capture scenes of Seth or Grace. Thanks to Sam, who has advised me on the lens and also loan me one lens for the longest time! He would be loaning me the 50mm lens to use.

Have been busy for most of the weekends, shopping, spring cleaning around the house, resting, working…. Seems to have so much to do and so little time now. For I am such a last minute person, still not able to do proper time management. Sad.
About Seth
Toddlerhood has been challenging. He shows his temperament, he speaks his mind, learns really quick, be it bad or good habits. At a stage, he can be such a good boy a day, the next day, he wants to get what he wants and relentless till he gets them. We can pull all our hair out and he still insist to have it his way. Coaxing, scolding, all we’ve tried….. indeed challenging. We have to be really patience and stick to a routine for him. No matter how tired I may be, I would stick to the regular routine of getting him to brush his teeth, clean his face, morning, night, nap when we are at home. Cos if he didn’t get his deserving rest, we get our deserving tantrums from Seth. As usual, he will make us melt with his awesome silly smile and laughters, calling sweetly, “Daddy, Mommy”. Showing us his funny expressions. Singing to us, “I love you, you love me…….”. Lately, we have been coaxing him to let his mei mei sleep in his baby cot, and he to co-sleep with daddy on the floor mattress. He keeps refusing and end up, for two nights now, he wants to sleep in the baby cot and not move to our queen size bed (which he normally do) It’s amusing to see him getting so territorial. WE’ll try harder nonetheless.
About Grace/RuiEn
This little princess, is getting so big! She is approximately 2.4kg now… 4 more weeks to go. Definitely, active in my womb, as she kicks and moves a lot in the day and nights. The good part of it, she doesn’t wake me up so often in the night, except for my peeing time, when I feel the pressure on my bladder. So I would visit the toilet, 2-3 times a night. Better than the days when I am carrying Seth in my womb, which I wake up so often. Grace is in this position now that I can feel she’s drilling into my pelvic area, moving, so it gets uncomfortable to sit for too long, esp. in the office. I can stand up and work, it looks weird but I’ve got no choice…. Else I would feel that I am restricting her movement, or I might have caused her discomfort if I sit for too long.
I’ve bought quite a few of her new clothings….shopping to my delight. Can’t imagine when she’s out of my womb, I would buy even more! We’ll be seeing our gyynae again this Friday. I always look forward to the U/S scan. seeing her, chubby. Lots of people I’ve met kept telling me I look really heavy, sad lor but no choice lar. My tummy is like a big big balloon. Even my boss said he worried I may pop anytime now, which of course, I do not wish too and my prayers is to deliver in 40 weeks gestation! So God’s timing it will be! I would miss being pregnant. I am not sure if we are going to go for no. 3 but it’s a mixed feeling at this stage, to be immersed in being pregnant, enjoy some special treatment at home and at work, or can’t wait to see Grace face to face, hold her tiny hands and caress her hair.
Things to do for the next 4 weeks,
1. Pack my hospital bag
2. Wash all the baby’s clothes
3. Clean the kitchen, sterilise the baby bottles, breast pumps what have we?
4. Last minute shopping, if I can manage……
On Work
Yes, 4 more weeks and loads of works to do! I can’t clear my paperwork, I get so panicky. I rely on God’s strength to go by everyday. If not for Him, i would have given up. But I know I have to face my giants and just do whatever I can. My colleague left last friday. So now I am on my own. My covering would be my boss, which I am worry as I hope he is not so badly overloaded as he has his fair share of work to cover as well. URRRGH!!! I do not want to be soaking in incompetency and Just hope that the day will be productive so I can clear as much as I can. Have been working till 7yish 8 on some days. On days that I need to go for meetings, I would work off-site, you would probably see me hang at Starbucks, vivo. What to do, cheapskate having free wireless and a cuppa. One -ve is no power point. So I would full charge my laptop and work till it drained, say 2 hours?? At days, when I feel unwell, giddy spells, I would still drag myself to work, cos I can’t afford a day not to step into office to clear stuffs. Lately, I’ve have so much requests for quotations and blah blah blah, quote till I almost faint! From yesterday onwards, I would keep my boss in the loop for all I’ve quoted so that if I really need to go on mc, which I don’t want to, he will know what to cover me. No choice, I guess.
Alrighty, preparing to go to office already. Start of a day, with God’s grace and favours!
This was taken last Sunday (8th July), when we went to @ central, besides Merchant Court Hotel. Seth’s 1st breakfast at Starbucks. For Daddy and Mummy just love the hot mocha at Starbucks. He had a great time, seating on the comfy chair, staring at the goings out side, telling me, “taxi, bus, cars, motobikes….” He almost ate 2/3 of the chocolate eclair I’ve bought him, with part of my cinamon raisin bagel. Nothing much to shop around at Central that morning, though 11am, shops were still closed. I feel that it’s more of a congregation of shops that you can find in Far East Plaza, more suited for teenagers. We were waiting for time to past before heading for my ex-colleague’s wedding lunch at Peninsular Hotel.

Seth took his pneumoccocal jab at Kid’s Clinic that afternoon. After his immunisation jab, he has not had injection since 1.5 years old. We were a tad worry that he will cry out and of course, heart pain to see him go through jabs. He was in a happy mood that day, when Olive Tree alighted us at the junction, Seth walked by himself towards the clinic and wanted to open the door. He knows he is visiting Dr. Lilian, as I have prep him before the night before. The wait at the clinic wasn’t long this time round compared to the previous visits, probably we had the 1st appointment after lunch hours. Normally, the clinic is jammed packed and we have to wait for at least 2 hours (without appointment. We had his right eyelid checked by Dr. Lilian, and confirmed that he has a “bak-zharm” which is not too serious. We need to apply ointment on his eyelid so to bring down the swell. Time for jab, Olive Tree carried Seth on his right shoulder, while I took out the camera to distract him. Dr. Lilian, jabbed Seth at his buttocks, and Seth uttered” PAIN PAIN” and that was it??! (**,) We were glad it was swift and fast. He did not cry. Brave boy….hahaha…
Seth’s weight as of today: 10.5kg, height: 84cm
The aftermath of it, he will say his backside pain pain, and I told him, “no pain, Jesus took away the pain!”. He’s such a darling. We had our lunch at compasspoint and thereafter head home after buying some groceries to cook for dinner.
14.7.2007
A day that we had a purpose. To go and buy my sewing needs and head to Takashimaya and shop for the kids’ stuffs. End up, I’ve bought a few T-shirts from Benetton for Seth, and a bodysuit for RuiEn., some tops and bottoms from LifeBaby as well for both of them. Can imagine how much I’ve spent, though all of these are bought at sales price. We went to Vivocity in the late afternoon and had dinner at Dian-Xiao-Er. It’s always great to have good view seats where you overlook the sea and have dinner. That also kinda of distract Seth’s from wanting to romp about during dinner. He had a good appetite that night. He had a good POOP thereafter as well. Probably after the jab, the poop are a bit watery. EEEWWEE… Olive Tree clean him up in the men’s toilet when the nursery room is just 3m further down from the toilet. Aiyo, that’s a kancheong daddy who can’t wait to get his kid out of the poop. Even I can’t help in time…
Seth learnt a new word that day,
ADIDAS
His uncle, (gu-gu) was telling him, ” you go to ADIDAS boutique and say, “ADIDAS” and they will give you free gift! (**-)
Seth said it with such a funny tone it really made us laugh out loud.
15.7.2007
We went to Clara’s place today. Just a gathering with a hopeful crop. =) I manage only a small page of Seth’s mini album! hahahah… but the enjoyment was to spend time with fella scrappers friends. =p Seth had a good time playing and did not sleep throughout the day. So after we left for his grandparents’ place, he knocked out in his car seat. He was a bit grumpy when he reached the place. As usual.
At this stage of my pregnancy, my tummy looks like a big balloon! As if to pop anytime. With the regular BH and all, it gets a tad too uncomfortable to sit for long. When I go to bed at night, it’s so difficult to get to sleep in the beginning when it seems that RuiEn is stretching to the ultimate! Itch and all on my stretch skin makes my mood worse! No amount of cream helps to moisture…. So what I do, scratch a bit to ease the itch, and then try to find the right position (which is not easy to toss about) to sleep. If I can sleep, it’s Jesus’s blessings!) Now, tiredness encompasses me when I wakes up in wee hours, like now, feeling hungry. Having to work in the day, challenging… I wished I can go on leave soon but I can’t since my colleague has tendered his resignation and tonnes of things that need to be settled before I end up in the delivery suite. Each day, I count my blessings and also ask God for endurance, to make it through. Hope my EDD date comes soon…..

How frustrating? I did not sleep much yesterday with all the “you know what” tots. So when I came home, I am dead-beat. Went to bed at 10pm, with Seth being such a darling when I said I wanna sleep in the other room by myself, he actually said bye to me and followed his daddy back to the master-bedroom. I manage to drift off quite quickly. However, woke up at 2 plus, disturbed by the bad tummyaches! I think to myself “WHAT AGAIN!!” SICK AGAIN!” Then went to the toilet to do the biz, and somewhat rest is being disturbed.
Thereafter, went to the scraproom and surf online. Lately, have been having this annoying hearing issue on my left ear. Keep hearing my own heartbeat thumping thumping and kinda irritating. After the block nose block ear, this happened. Hope it goes away soon. 10 more weeks, 10 more weeks to go. I am really not intolerable of the pregnancy process but guess it’s towards the job I am doing. I just can’t wait to get out and go on to have my maternity leave. Sorry to be so selfish but I feel I need to break away from all this to rest my mind and re-focus.
About Seth,
and now that he turned 2 years old, he starts to display “toddlehood” which can be quite trying to us in terms of our patience. Just this evening, we got home, he was playing with his cars which are housed in the toolbox Olive Tree got for him. He takes everything out, then throw them back in and poured them out onto the coffee table (which is glass top) making loads of noise. repetitively, will you get annoyed!? So as usual, got reprimanded and sorry that I am a threatening mom, I sternly told him to stop otherwise the toys will be confiscated. *shake head* and thank God, he did stop.
I do give thanks as well for a disciplinary figure (my bro, Jon) whom Seth’s afraid of. Whenever Seth is up to some mischief and Jon is around to spot his mischief, immediately, Seth would be so tamed and not try anything funny. I should say that Seth is not a difficult child to handle and is more gentle compared to the peers I’ve seen. I would genuinely praise him for the good he does and he’s really happy about it.
About RuiEn,
Now that she’s 30 weeks, she kinda have limited movement in my womb. I must say she’s having loads of activities in my womb and some of them really startled me as I never experience the same when I am carrying Seth. The feeling is a mixture of happiness and apprehension as I am not sure how come she can kick so hard, or have such constant shudders in my womb. See, mommy me worry that I may have sat in a position which is uncomfortable for her.
Thinking to myself, I have not been fervently praying for the pregnancy and for RuiEn’s growth in me which I feel I’ve neglected her. Of course, I know God’s love and protection stretches out to RuiEn and the family but I need to also confess and come into agreement in prayers for the good things and grace God has given us. I feel ashamed. =(
I know it’s silly to be so but all I want is to have a smoother pregnancy and have the supernatural childbirth of RuiEn who is healthy and pretty. I do have great concern of the pregnancy period that I am in, I am not so cheerful and worry too much. So somehow, it affects RuiEn’s development. I don’t know how to shake away the bad thoughts but only through prayers which calms me down. I will tell myself, Jesus’s love all the little children and he’ll provide the best for them. So much more for RuiEn. With the comforting prayers, I will be at peace.
I should tell myself not to let the devil steal the good thoughts and be rooted to God’s words which doeth much more for us.

It is only now that I can totally empathized with the preggy ladies who suffer from constant legs cramps. Just this week, I’ve got 3 to 4 attacks and the pain is totally URRRGGH!!! Last night I’ve got the attack on my left leg, and this morning, I’ve got the attack on my right!!! It’s so irritable. Therefore, for the whole day, the muscles ache bad, suffering from giddy spell as well, so once again, I am on medical leave. HIAZ.
about seth
This little boy of mine, has becomes pretty quarrelsome lately. Whenever, you tell him off about an undesirable action that he does, he will use his finger and point at you, mumble and mumble away, imitating the one who is scolding him. *shake head* He learnt how to say, “oh my GOD!” when he “accidentally” drop things (ya, on purpose kind) The talkative him is fun, and the words he picks up and speaks right away fluently amaze me at times . But the more he learns, especially the not so nice words, always got us a bit worried. hee… little boy is cranky now, got to get him to sleep first.

***
For the past week or so, I’ve been spending time scrapbooking or if not, with Seth. To me, it’s precious time to capture his everyday’s life and speech which always brings smiles and surprises. He has grown so much! Especially when I see his younger days photos. These days, he speaks so much more and learn to pretend play a lot. He is able to think and construct simple sentences. eg. “mommy, take horse horse.” (his rocking horse from the room), “daddy, buy bread.”
Just yesterday, he starts to tell me, “I love love mommy.” AWE!! That truly touches me! It is tough to leave him to even go back to work. Oh btw, I am on leave again. I guess I needed the rest and also have been feeling quite a fair bit of tightening in tummy area. This pregnancy, I become so much sensitive compared to preggy with Seth. Hope I do get much better physically and mentally soon. I have to say that Seth’s really a darling when it comes to loving us, he is not afraid to show his simple affection, I always like the way he cuddle my hands, in car, on bed, as he is about to sleep. In a lot of ways, we kinda of put him to such a position that it means, “we are spoiling him!!” Nonetheless, we will also discipline him at the moment he commit his mischief.
Somehow, I kinda of worry that we could have neglected baby Rui En. Comparing to my 1st pregnancy, Olive Tree was much more caring and proactive in the preggy process. But for this pregnancy, he seems to be totally oblivious. I was thinking back, how he has behaved when it was our firstborn. Sorry for comparing, but I think I felt neglected for this pregnancy. I neglect, and likewise, the daddy as well. So in a way, it’s kinda of unfair for baby Rui En. She’s actually very sweet and active in my womb. I enjoy the kicks she does inside. Whenever, I see the U/S scan, seeing her face always bring bright smiles to me, as to me, she’s such a dearie beauty. I wish that I have all the time to nurture the little one and be rid of any stress that I am currently going through, be it at work, at home. I felt the worry freak in me being so hard to tame. Sometimes, so sick that I think to much, but is that the preggy hormones at work? My prayers always goes to having a happy baby, always smily and enjoying the life’s moments. Intelligent and healthy. I prayed the same for both of our kids and God’s grace and faithfulness always prevails. Yes, maybe now I am so sensitive and touchy but I hope the wild imagination of mine about how Olive Tree is treating me will not be blurring my mind too much so that I continue to feel loved. Insecurity??
Oh, and the nonsense I am spouting here, do bear with me, cause I have no avenue to vent them out except on my own blog. hee…. have a great week ahead. Be blessed with little things in life.

20th April, Friday, was our appointment for detailed scan at TMC. We were expecting a longer than usual U/S Scan to get measurements of our baby.
When we were inside the room, the radiologist get set to take all measurements and then she said, “Hmmm, it’s a female”. Both Olive Tree and I thought we heard wrongly, maybe she had uttered, “do you prefer a female?” or something like that. I told the radiologist that previous U/S by our gynae, I saw there was a Penis and maybe a scrotum. She said she will do the scan to confirm again after all the measurements are done.
Ok, so the conclusion came after 20 minutes, and she explained to us how come the genitalia was determined as female. She had seen 3 lines (depicts_ labia) So can’t be wrong. If it’s wrong, then must tell Gynae to let her know.hahaha… Can you imagine how I felt!? Especially when I got the confirmation? Olive Tree were smiling and trying to contain…the joy. Me? I was thinkg, “Oh manz! I’ve bought some baby clothes which are pretty boyish.” Next I was thinking, “Oh No! I got to spend more as baby’s a Princess!!!” (“o)
Indeed overjoy on the news we received. More importantly to us, all measurements taken and shows our baby is healthy and fine. Olive Tree has already got a name for her. She’ll be called Wu Rui4 En1, ???.
