JB Trip & Ashton's First Haircut

JB Trip & Ashton's First Haircut 
27/12/12 - 30/12/2012

since i was still on my Maternity Leave, i decided to have a short holiday at JB... invited my Godmother to join us... we went to visit YY at the Hospital before we departed to JB... she was about to be discharged and back to Kampar straight... 

we drove to JB and luckily my Godmother followed us, halfway thru, i was very sleepy and she took over to drive all the way till we reached JB... phew... thanks thanks... 

anyway, we didnt take much photos during this trip... the only photos that i took were Ashton's first hair cut at Salon...

he was carried by Ching Yee Poh...

the sleepy head...

 he was asleep during the whole hair cutting process... :)

The Arrival of the Christmas Boy

The Arrival of the Christmas Boy
26/12/2012

it was early Christmas Eve and my sis YY finally had her first contraction pain...i advised her to time it and it was like 10 mins apart during each contraction... so she quickly informed her hubby and he came over to accompany her... it was like 2am in the morning... soon after, she decided to "check-in" to the Hospital Selayang...

she waited and waited but still no big sign yet that she will deliver soon... that's when the baby decided to come out on Christmas Day itself... as informed by my bro-in-law, it was an emergency C-Sect in the morning... me and my mum prepared the Red Dates water and brought it over to the Hospital... we brought along the boys but too bad they were not allowed to enter the ward although its a single room... ended up, me and my mum takes turn to visit her...

in 2012 itself, we added 2 festive babies in our family... Ashton was born on Deepavali day and now YY's boy was born on Christmas... hahaa... :)

My Second Labour Experience

The Birth of Ashton Voo Wen Yao
13/11/2012

finally, i have the time to blog about my second labour experience...

EDD: 23/11/12 (according to my last menstrual)
Actual day: 13/11/12 (it's the Deepavali Day)

as i mentioned in my previous post... my Gynae did a VE and found that i'm 2cm dilated.. i actually worked till the day i delivered... hahaa... seriously, i did not expect that at all... unlike my first labour, i took my leave earlier to rest at home and wait for the D-Day... it was so different this time, maybe i work in a hospital... and it's very easy and convenient for me that i can actually walk into the labour room anytime... :P

this time round, it was quite similar to my first delivery... especially the timing... it's in the midnight... hahaa... 

around 1.50am, i detected something that looks like a "mucus plug" in the toilet bowl after i peed... so i was telling myself... so it was real and i'm going into labour very soon... and yes, soon enough i feel a mild contraction already around 2am...

when i said mild, it was already 7-8mins apart and i couldnt sleep... i was counting and counting while practising my breathing... i still remember clearly how i counted in my heart and from time to time, i look at the time at the astro decoder... one two three... hahahaa... i even walked down to the living hall and tried to distract myself by watching tv... it doesnt really work though... basically i was just closing my eyes and rest while in pain... 

soon enough, i already 'tahan' till almost 6am... i went upstairs and took my shower and washed my hair... i quickly blowed it dry and woke my Dear up... we quickly informed my MIL to look after Jordan in case he wake up...

6.30am - packed some dim sum and had it in the car before "checkin-in"... hahaa...i actually feel so weird, walking to the hospital, a place where i called my workplace... seeing the people i knew... hahaa... after registering at the front office, my staff nurse colleague wheeled me into the maternity ward at 1st floor... hahaaaa...i'm just too lazy to walk... :P

around 7am - changed into the hospital gown... and another colleague of mine did another VE... and i was 4cm dilated... strapped on the CTG to check the heartbeat of baby and time the contractions... i still managed to endure the contraction pain and did not ask for any painkiller...

8.45am - i was put on oxytocin drip... to induce the labour... my Gynae said it will speed up the delivery process... 

9.30am - it's time for painkiller... hahaaa... they gave me a jab of pethidine... another VE showed that i'm already 6cm dilated... oh my, 4cm more to go... thank God that this time round, i did a lot of research on the techniques of breathing... loooooong breath , short breath... and i can proudly say i managed it very well this time compared to my first time... oh ya, this time, i also experienced catheter for the first time as my bladder was quite full... >.<

11am - the final VE and i'm already 9cm dilated... finally... i was very much in pain... the contractions is killing me... i was so lucky to have a group of supportive "colleagues"... hahaa... especially "Mak Bidan", you know who you are... :) thank you for being there for me, motivating and guiding me... everything was in order... and i know it's time...

11.18am... after a few big pushes... i managed to delivered my lil Ashton... i remember seeing my Gynae holding Ashton in his hand and said "wow, heavy baby... must be 4kilo"... yes, he mentioned KILO... so cute.. another cute thing was, once he's out from my tummy, he actually peed in the air while my Gynae was holding him... hahaaa...he was 3.9kg and 100g heavier than Jordan... i almost fainted again... how i just did that again... another heavy weight baby... :P

as usual, i was kept in the labour room for quite some time as i was bleeding a lot...

 lil Ashton yawning...

 hi world !!

 sleeping soundly...
