9 Jan 2009 ~ Last visitors of the day

MaMa's VIP ~ (Auntie Esther's family and Auntie Shirley's family)

VIP always arrive at last.. ^^ These 2 families came to visit me after 9pm (visiting hours from 8am to 8pm. = =!). Lucky MaMa stayed in one-beded room so that they could come in and go anytime. Haha.. Alexis Jie Jie and Jireh Gor Gor were so excited to see me. They ran into me with a big smile and followed by a big hug. After some chit chatting, we began our photo session.

傳說中的VIP一定都姗姗来遲，因爲他們就最大牌啊。呵~不說也知道，她就是媽媽快16年的麻吉。我今天終於可以跟Esther阿姨和他的家人見面了。Esther阿姨迫不及待的想抱抱我，但是他實在是太久没有抱baby，所以一時之間忘了怎麽抱才剛出生2天的我。最後還是Shirley阿姨跟Kenneth叔叔輪流抱我比較舒服啦。哈哈~

Re-admission on 10 Jan 2009

MaMa and I were supposed to discharge from hospital on 10 Jan, but due to high level of jaundice (17.1), i was forced to stay in for treatment for additional 2 nights. BaBa was so sad to let me stay in alone. ~>_<~ Since MaMa was trying to breast feed me, they only allowed to see me during feeding time. On 12 Jan morning, BaBa received a call from hospital saying that i was able to discharge before noon (as my test report showed that my jaundice had reduced to mild level). ^^

原本今天我應該要和媽媽一起辦出院回家，但是早上的驗血報告証實我的黄疸指數高達17.1必需住院治療，爸爸只好很不捨的讓我多留2晚。因為媽媽希望我盡量可以喝母乳，所以只有在喂奶的時間，爸爸跟媽媽才有機會見我一面。連續2天2夜的照射治療，雖然不能馬上完全康复，但是情况也稍微好轉。第3天早上驗完血後，爸爸終於得到醫生的許可立刻辦出院回家。

Jaundice follow up on 15 Jan 2009
As per instruction from Doctor, I was required to go for another blood test to keep track the jaundice level. Although my jaundice went up slightly higher, Doctor concluded that it was a normal reaction. What i needed the most was sun bathing at home. I should be able to recover within 1 week.

今天爸爸媽媽帶我回去醫院复診。媽媽依照護士吩咐先帶我去抽血，等報告出來後再排隊給醫生檢查。這次要抽3小瓶的血，一開始爸爸還一度擔心我會和其他的小baby一樣嚎啕大哭，所以不打算進去陪我（因爲不捨得聽到我哭）。等媽媽抱我準備給護士抽腳底板的血時，爸爸還是决定進來了。當時我還是處於睡眠狀態，所以我完全没哭，真是超勇敢的。嘻嘻！

MaMa's follow up

MaMa's final checkup (pep-smear test) will be 1 month later. She was so happy that Dr. Wong managed to squeeze her appointment slot together with Auntie Esther. (so last minute) Hehee.. Why must having same appointment date (9 Feb 2009) ?! To be continued... ^^

照片上就是我跟媽媽的醫生。醫術很好，因爲媽媽的复原程度很快。雖然收費有點高，但是還是值得啦。

Happy birthday ~ 8 Jan 2009

Hi, let me officially introduce myself once again. My name is Claira Soo Xing Yu。I was born inThomson Medical Center on 8 Jan 2009 (Thursday). ^_^

On the 7 Jan night, MaMa finally got some feelings of contraction and as expected, the pain started to deveop about 10-15 minutes inteval around 1.30am. MaMa was so calmed to go for a hot bath before waking BaBa up to send her to hospital. Before Moving out from home, MaMa sent a SMS to Auntie Esther and up to her surprise, Auntie Esther still awake to reply her SMS. Haha.. so touching..

By the time we reached Thomson Medical Center was almost 3am. The Admin staff led BaBa to register for admission and the nurse sent MaMa to the observation room for checkup before heading to labour ward. While we were waiting for the nurses to prepare equipments for labour, MaMa decided to inject epidural to release the pain. MaMa did not expect the injection to be so tedious and painful. The doctor took about 30 minutes to complete the injection. =_=!

MaMa could not get into sleep in the labour ward when epidural started to take effect and BaBa drank about 2-3 cups of coffee just to stay awake to company MaMa. When we waited till about 8am, the nurses and Dr. Wong finally confirmed MaMa could prepare for labour in 2 hours time. During labouring, the nurses taught MaMa how to breathe and push me out. But after nearly 2 hours of pushing, the nurses could only see 50 cent size of my black and hairy head. As it might be too dangerous for me to stay in the womb for such long hours, Dr. Wong decided to use vacuum. With additional help of 2 nurses pressed and pushed MaMa's tummy and Dr. Wong's vacuum, MaMa was then managed to get me out to this world. @_@

The Chubby Me of 3.1kg at birth..

大家好，讓我再次自我介紹, 我叫蘇星瑜，1月8日生。其實前天晚上10點多媽媽就已經感覺到稍微的陣痛。但是醫生說過從陣痛到生產需要好幾個小時，媽媽大可以等到陣痛間隔約15分鐘的時候在掛號入院。所以媽媽决定先不驚動阿媽，先小睡一下再看情况。大約凌晨1點半左右，媽媽感覺水袋破了就馬上先去洗澡，把爸爸叫醒後再打電話跟醫生報備。醫生吩咐媽媽一定要先吃點東西補充體力在出門。

等我們到醫院時也已3點了。護士先帶媽媽去觀察室做檢查，而爸爸則去幫媽媽辦理住院手續。當媽媽移到產房準備待產時再次跟爸爸討論是否要注射無痛分娩。爸爸說如果媽媽真的没辦法忍痛，打針的錢就不要省。既然爸爸都這麽說，他就代表媽媽簽下同意書，然後進行注射。媽媽完全没有料到注射的過程又痛又久，還有副作用。當藥效開始起作用後，媽媽就開始覺得想吐，全身也不停發抖。爸爸爲了全程陪伴媽媽到天亮，只好拼命喝咖啡提神。終於等到8點醫生來診斷後才確定2個小時後可以準備接生。媽媽用了7個多小時在產房等待，再花約2個小時的時間努力把我生出來。媽媽萬萬没想到需要那麽久，因為以我6天前的體重判斷，生我應該是輕而一舉。但是不管媽媽怎麽用力推，護士還是只能看到我一個硬幣大小濃濃烏黑的秀髮。最後爲了安全起見，醫生决定要媽媽在2位護士幫忙用力推擠肚子的情况下，利用真空吸盤把我吸出來。醫生還一直不解爲何我會這麽難生，最後才發現原來是我胖到3.1公斤讓媽媽活受罪。哈哈！

My belove MaMa and BaBa..

My checkup on 2nd Jan 2009

Yesterday was a shocking day for my parents and Ah Ma. During my ultra sound scan, Dr. Wong discovered that my head was engaging and decending at the pelvis. In order to double confirm her prediction of early labour, she did a internal check on my MaMa, and she was very firm that i was ready to come out anytime within this few days. It was because my current position was some kind of frog style, having my head down at the bottom and 2 legs widely open. Further, MaMa's opening was about 2 cm wide already. It was so surprised to know that i might be out to this world any moment (as MaMa really showed no sign of labouring =.=). So Dr. Wong reminded MaMa once again if she felt frequent contraction, water bag bursting or bleeding, she must admit to hospital to prepare for birth.

Since MaMa did not feel any adnormal and i was still actively moving inside her womb, she took a afternoon nap and had reqular routine to sleep early. However, BaBa did not take anything easy. He was so excited and tried to stay awake at night just in case MaMa need to rush to hospital any moment. But to disappoint BaBa, both MaMa and I were sleeping soundly at night. Although i had a few kicks on MaMa but we both knew that 2nd Jan was not the date. Hehe.. MaMa preferred to let me come out on 3 Jan 09 instead because she likes the number of 3. Haha~ just like Auntie Esther who likes the number of 7. ^^

This morning i'm still moving freely inside MaMa's womb, which makes MaMa to feel uncertain whether today is the day for me as so far everything seems so so so normal. lol~ Neverthelss, MaMa will take Dr. Wong's advice by having more walks to expedite the labouring today. So, the next blog you read will be the day i officially enter to this world - stay tune and see you soon.. ^0^

昨天我又回去診所做產檢了。當醫生在做例行掃描時發現我已經擺出蛙式，頭也已經順利朝下到媽媽的產道。爲了作更準確的推斷，醫生馬上再幫媽媽做内部檢查。出乎意料，醫生竟然說媽媽的產道已經開了2公分。聼到這個消息爸爸，媽媽跟阿媽都覺得非常意外。因爲到目前爲止，媽媽根本没有任何症状。因此醫生只好建議媽媽多走動好引導我出來。爸爸聼完醫生的建議後比媽媽還要緊張興奮。當晚更没有辦法入眠。但是我還是讓爸爸失望了，因爲我根本没有打算要那麽早出來跟大家見面。媽媽也說一切尊重我的意思，自己挑日子出來。哈哈！
