Post Delivery Day 3

Oooook it’s the end of Day 3 at the hospital....

The letter that I hoped to have typed out and posted is still not even drafted out yet..

Honestly time really just flew by this time...

1st day was mostly in and out... was feeling very sleepy and even though I didn’t feel super weak physically like post surgery of the 2nd pregnancy, but this time round it was more general tiredness....

2nd day had some admin stuff to clear.. had a couple of visitors.. Nurses in and out.. LC visits.. a little cat nap here n there..

Trying to finalise baby’s name.....

3rd day started with me thinking that I can finally get some proper rest today since no visitors planned... but I barely squeezed in 1hr of rest before Don n wp came 😅

So ya, somehow did waaaaay lesser than I hoped for..

Pain wise, the 1st time of standing up post surgery is not as traumatic as #2... but still painful as shit!

It still hurts like crazy to stand every single time right now... In fact I think the muscles in tt area all like crap now alrdy.. so it’s been quite torturous moving around the whole of today.

Maybe tts why my blood pressure has been abit high the whole of today... let’s see how it goes...

Baby also has jaundice... so hopefully that goes away during the blood test tmr morning... if not our staycation will get extended by 1 more day...

It’s really a whole new ball game.......

Between having  2 and 3....

The extra planning that goes behind every move..

Like when #2 came, we just needed to make sure #1 is taken care of...

But now u have to make sure the ppl u leave #1 AND #2 can manage those 2! Plus #2 is quite a challenging one to watch just on her own...

Throw in a fussy 5yrs old! Oh man..... if both act up, it can really drive an adult mad!

So ya, I salute the hubs who has been holding fort on that end of things...

Wayne casually said that having 3 kids without a helper is respect.....

Hahah but I guess we’re blessed to have the help of family so far!

I’m definitely on the “divide and conquer” mode now!

WE CAN DO THIS!

Let’s hope that in the weeks to come, we all settle into a new lifestyle with the addition of Baby A 

Thank you God for the smooth and successful delivery process... I’m thankful that all the pain has been bearable so far..

Thank you for blessing baby with good health and making him so cute in his own little way.

Also thankful for a very understanding Don.. not easy being the eldest and actually understand that some of the attention that you used to be getting is now split to someone else.

I sincerely hope that as much as I can, he won’t feel that way..

Ok cutting this short... 7more mins before start of day 4 of this new life!

Time to sleep!

20th January 2020

Less than 17hrs to go before the arrival of baby A!!

Experiencing a whole roller coaster of emotions..

Thank Goodness that most of the things are finally in place! I just need to tidy up the hospital bag...

Biggest worry is now towards Don n Rou! Last min mil has to go for a checkup so both kids are left with their Gugu for a good 2hrs... and not in Hougang but at mil’s sis place which the kids are unfamiliar with.

Haizz not something that I can control... so can just pray for the best! 🤞🏼

Hope rou wakes up from the right side of bed tmr then it’s half the battle won! 😂

But of cos there’s the whole other spectrum of anxiety when it comes to the thought of the surgery and post surgery!

Right from the part of the epidural which sucks like mad! Then the torture of post surgery pain + the first few times of standing up! 😣

Haizz of cos the bleeding and overall discomfort for the weeks that follow...

Baby in the womb also suffering, come out also just another type of suffering...

Anyway the 重点 of this post is not for this... I had the intention to write a note for everyone but didn’t have the chance till now....

So here goes!

Due to a whole lot of issues (ie Rou being an ass and crying so much when it was time to sleep, I was couldn’t type finish the note)

Will continue once baby is here...

Baby update (week 36)

My ‘ol my! Where did time go?

It almost feels like only last month that we found out that we were having you!

And look who’s scheduled to arrive in about 8days time! Please don’t come out before 21st Jan ok!

We chose swee swee 21/1/21 for you already... and Thank God that the OT is available at 7.30am and that Dr Choo is free to operate too!

So pls pls pls don’t Chu any pattern and decide to come earlier!

Anyway health wise, everything has been mostly pretty alright so far. Sugar level under control. Blood pressure ok..

That is until today... blood pressure is not the usual 120+... going into the mid 130..

And I’m feeling the extreme tiredness and difficulty in walking much..

It’s almost like my body showing signs of reaching its max already...then again maybe it’s jus my weak mind!

Not even anywhere close to wk40 lor! Wonder how all those women can carry on the extra 4 weeks!!! Some even go into wk41/42!!

Here I am struggling at 36 🤦🏼‍♀️🙄

Anyway all I’m praying for is baby’s good health and a smooth safe delivery!

A little extra prayer for a painless recovery period plus also a cute baby with double eyelids, deep set dimples and a decent head of head too 😝

On a more serious note, really hope that my mental and hormones will not screw me up after giving birth...

waaaaaay too many changes will be happening soon... I really can only pray that everything will fall into place and that God is all-knowing and all-loving..

Please give us parents the patience & energy level to manage the 2 kids plus upcoming newborn.

Please let no one in the family get sick in the next few weeks..

Please most importantly let our finances be in abundance so that I don’t have to worry about it as well...

Dear God, I pray that you will look out for my family and keep all of us safe & well especially during this period.

Ameen...

We’ll see you soon baby A! 😘
