Nursing career starts again...

nursing career starts again....

Vera's been a pretty good nurser so far.
Has engorgement last week for abt 3-4days.
Good thing Siti (the post natal masseur) managed to help to relief the engorgement a lil when she was here for to do the post natal massage for me.

Aft the 4th day, think my milk supply kinda regulate... so far so good.
Kady has also been asking for mummy's milk & I've been pumping for her...
so currently am nursing Baby Vera & jie jie Kady as well.
Wonder how long this 2nd nursing career will last... :)


Anyways - today is the last day of the massage.
So far quite ok for the amt that I've paid. ($250 for 7 massages + 3 baby massages).
Amt include a binder as well. Would say that for this price, it is very value for money compared to the rest of the quotes I received.
However, found out on the 3rd massage that I am allergic to the Jamu that Siti used.
So in the end, told her not to put. cos my tummy had red patches when I removed the cloth binder aft 2 hrs on the 3rd day.
removed aft only 2 hrs cos I really cldn't stand the itch.
When I washed my tummy - I had a burning sensation.... so rather not take the risk to use the jamu anymore.

Vera's Here!!!!

This is a faster birth compared to Kady. Had contractions on 11th Apr from 11pm to 5am with contractions at 5mins apart.

Sat - 12th Apr dh said maybe cos still got 1 more piece of bird's nest hv not eat... so he boiled for me. Said aft eating this last piece - baby will come out.

Sun - 13th Apr Contractions started ard midnight - 30mins apart. By 3am+ contractions was at 10mins apart.

3:45am - Had show... & slight pain at every contractions. Cant sleep. Wake up to reply some ofc emails...

4:15am - wake dh to get him to get ready to go TMC.

5am+ - reached TMC

6am - went into Delivery Ward

7am+ - had epidural, waterbag broke abt 9am - Baby made her entrance!

Overall - a quick birth... albeit a more painful one compared to Kady.

anytime now I hope....

am in my 38th week now...
getting contractions every night.
this is really affecting my sleep. So very very tired come morning!

Baby Vera - oh! Please do come out soon!!! Mummy's really really tired... :(
& I can't wait to carry you in my arms either!

when we do the scan at 36th weeks - Vera weigh in at 3.2kg.
but last week at 37th weeks - Vera weigh in at 2.9kg...hmmm... doc said its all estimates & not to worry too much...
Am wondering whether Vera will be heavier than Kady when she's born?

Last Friday - Brought Kady to Great World City to catch the movie Horton & bought some Mickey/ Minne Mouse pasta... & immed cook them for dinner. Here they are:



then over the weekend, Kady requested that I make some chocolate muffins for her to bring to school to share with her friends, so we made some. Added Bananas in some of them. Actually, these are made out of Betty Croaker's Brownie Pre-mix. Fast, easy & idiot proof! *lol*








& since the weather is so very very hot, I made Japanese Cold Noodles on Sunday night. Bought the ingredients from Liang Court Basement 1 - Meidi-ya Supermarket. & oh! for those who thought of going to Liang Court - dun bother. They are renovating now & only the basement has shops... which is really a pathetic selection. Better to wait for at least another 3-6mths before gg.
