Check out my new rocker...

Alright, I find that this photo of myself doesn't look like myself.

Well, but I think I still look good.

That is what Papa always say.

Papa was very hardworking in the wee hours.

Mummy told me that he actually fixed up my pink rocker once he unbox the delivery.

Thanks to all the Papa, Mummy, Uncles, Aunties and Godma Ni, 

I've duplicates of many items so that I can have them in our house, 

Yishun home and Bedok home.

I am so lucky.

Check out the pink version!

I'm so loving it!

Poor Mummy.

She is so bored at home.

I hope I am giving her enough rest!

She dressed up her TR35 and we took a selfie!

Till the next entry!

Bye all!

Wonderful Day with Olympia

The day started out with laogong telling me that Olympia gave him his first poo experience. He has been in charge of changing diapers and today Olympia poo landed on his him! Haha. What a lucky day! 

We got changed and I expressed bm (so I don't have to bring the pump and cooler box out). Olympia had to go to the PD for a review (for her jaundice)  and yeah! All is fine! We were so happy that all is fine. We headed to Takashimaya (for a mere 2 hours)  and it was great being out there! Confinement is really not for me. Took photo with Olympia where the Christmas tree was. Bought some stuff for her. And it was laogong's first time at the nursing room at Takashimaya. Hehe. He performed his diaper duties dutifully. 

Came home, had lunch and rested. Belle came to visit. Yeah. Haha. I love visitors! And Papa called with more good news. The day gets even better. Very happy to get the good news from Papa. And later, there will be a delivery for our massive online purchases from Taobao (haha 42kg or $1000+ worth of purchases). 

Thankful for all the good things happening in the family, really thankful. 

Olympia is 9 days old!

This is the 2nd Saturday with Olympia.

Last Saturday, we were still in Gleneagles.

Time flies.

Haha, I find that Olympia looks different everyday!

Throwback 1 (7 Dec, Sun)

Olympia's Godma Ni and family and some IJ Pals came to visit.

By last Saturday actually, I was already able to come down and walk around.

Olympia was also latching well (according to the lactation consultant).

Good progress!

Throwback 2 (11 Dec, Thu)

We took Olympia to her first PD visit (also at Gleneagles).

So sad!

Her jaundice was slightly high and she had to be check in to the 5 Star Beach Resort to suntan under the blue sun. 

Consolation at that point in time was that the PD did not suggest we rent the light home (which means she is almost definitely going home with us the next day).

I kind of teared knowing that she was not going home with us.

Since there was nothing we could do at the nursery, Laogong and I headed home.

Had a good day rest and prayed hard that Olympia is fine.

(60% of newborns will have jaundice of varying levels, I know it is common, but well, most of the mummies I spoke to understood why I teared! :) This is confirmed not hormonal!)

Throwback 3 (Just yesterday actually!)

The IJ Aunties (Daze said she is a Jie Jie) came to visit!

They trained Olympia so well!

She managed to sleep through with all the noise!

Jie Jie Daze carried Olympia for a long long while.

Must have been very comfortable and that was why she slept so long!

Thanks for the yummy cakes also!

Hehe, also, something small from the IJ Pals for Jan.

Congrats on your new home!

Back to today ... Or rather from last night ...

Olympia has been sleeping more than usual in between feeds.

She came home with 24 hours of formula milk from the hospital.

I chose to 'blame' it on the formula milk (I don't advocate anything) that she is sleeping more because the milk is more filling ... 

She also did not poop yesterday. Again I blame it on the milk (more heaty?!)

I asked the experts and they told me that jaundice babies sleep more. 

Instead of feeding on demand, today (and maybe tomorrow) I might have to feed her every 2-3 hours.

Hopefully back to latching and breastmilk, she will poop!

(MIL did say that she pooped one small tiny blop in the morning, like finally)

Hope to see more poo later! Haha.

I'm getting the hang of latch-pump(drama)-eat-sleep cycle.

Not as tired as in the hospital.

The confinement food is good (for the price I pay, it better be).

MIL, FIL and laogong has been helping out a lot.

I miss home actually (literally JB and Bedok).

Hope all is fine, it must be fine.

Praying hard.

One more of our lucky star!

I'm home!

Yesterday,  I returned home and so happened to find Popo &  Gong gong downstairs with Ah Gong. What a crowd to welcome me home. So loved. So far, all is fine. I'm turning Mummy into an efficient milk machine. I latch every 3-4 hours, she pumps after every latch. Papa and Ah Mah change my diapers. Is that all to my life?

Mummy is still recovering from her cesarean wounds. During one of the feeds last night, she was too quick to get up to feed me and her wound hurt. So poor thing. 

Luckily she always feels better and happier to look at me and Papa. Papa is also so sweet. He baths Mummy gently with a sponge using the herbal bath and is there all the time for her. 

Alright, more updates tomorrow. 

I'm going home with Mummy and Papa!

Hello (Grand) Aunties, Uncles, Jie Jies, Kor Kors, Mei Meis & Di Dis, 

Thank you for your well wishes, prays, thoughts, ang baos and gifts. I'm going home today! I cleared all the tests and is now waiting in the room with Mummy while Papa went to settle the bills and arrange for the limousine service. 

Here are some photos of myself, hope all of you like them! 

Thank you from Olympia, Papa Toh and Mummy Toh

Dear friends and relatives, 

Thank you for all the well wishes,  ang paos and gifts. 

There are simply too many to name. (so we shall not name! :p) 

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

All of you are absolutely too kind and generous. 

Olympia is doing very well! 

Papa is very delighted and learning to well. 

Mummy is recovering great. 

Our family members are all happy. 

In short, we are all doing great! 

Thank you for sharing our joy. 

Checked into the 5 star hotel!

Two more days!!!

Hello my dear! 

See you in less than 48h time... 

And we'll start rocking! 

Woohoo... 

Let's be chill and happy okay... 

No need to worry about bm or fm... 

Of course Mummy already bought a good pump and supplements to try to get bm for you, but hey,  fm works fine too. 

So whatever it is, I'll definitely try for you,  wish Mummy luck. 

If insufficient, fm then. 

We're not going to be upset or anything. 

Have been hearing and reading a lot on fellow mummies sharing. 

I will not judge and must not be judged, so let's rock and roll! 

Kudos to all mummies who want the best for their babies. 

There is no fixed way or must be this way or that way because every mummy is different and every child is unique. 

Mummy's heading out for two more dates today before resting tomor ow. 

Can't wait to see you... 

Can't wait to recover totally... 

And we'll have lots fun. 

Yes, Mummy is always positive! 

Chill, baby, chill, 

3 Days to Olympia's Arrival

Hello Olympia, 

it's just another 3 days!

Mummy and Papa went on a date today.

It's like our last couple Mon-date?

We headed to Bt Indah's Daiso to stock up on the anti-fly/mozzie thingy.

Oppz, I think we swept every available piece off the shelves!

Had lunch at this yummy Thai restaurant.

The set meals were good and economical!

Drinks + Lunch + Dessert for 2 pax only cost us SGD10!

Mummy also sort of started some intensive indulge.

Yesterday had Teh-Ais and today had yoghurt.

If I don't have all these this week,

it will be another month's wait!

Papa just gave Mummy a yummy coconut!

I bet you are enjoying it also with all the kicking?

Hehe...

Nice and cooling!

Tomorrow we're taking your fur-bro, Charcoal, to the hotel for one week while we prepare for your arrival! We will miss him but I'm sure you will enjoy his company as you grow older also :)

When we adopted Charcoal, we only know his birth month to be December.

He shall have his own unique birthday, so, Dec 1 it shall be!

Happy birthday to you furry kor kor :)
