19th month
Brought Karen to Dr Lee Khoi Foo. He said Karen has HFMD. She will need 6 days to recover. When go home Karen has to drink the liquid medicine he prescribed. 3 hours once. Even midnight she also need to take.
Feeding her the bitterish yucky medicine is a nightmare. First mouth she vomited a long time. Second and the rest of the feed was coax using marshmallows. Midnight feed she took one spoon. That's all.
Her ulsers is bleeding. I saw it when she cried. Oh dear, she must be in pain. I really need to bring her for 2nd opinion.
God, please heel Karen. She needs your blessing.
There's nothing more important than Karen in this world. I wish she has a speedy recovery.

Day 284: Separation
Carrying baby Karen in my stomach for 9 months. When she was about to be delivered, I was a bit sad because i know we are going to separate soon. I enjoy driving together with her, shopping together, do everything together.
Today, I finally took my first step to leave her. I couldn't sleep well the whole night. I hugged her so hard on the way to airport. Really miss Karen a lot.

Day 216: Jap Jap Jap!
My little lady had her Pneumococcal Jap this morning.
Everything went well. She made some sound when Dr Siew injected her. Not really cry la. But made a sad crying face for me to see (to let me know it's painful).
Funny girl.
Her measurement was as follows this morning:
Length: 66cm
Weight: 7.24kg
Dr Siew said she is a M-size baby. Not really S size. Dr Siew also asked me to feed her with everything, including eggs. As long as she doesn't develope allergy, it is ok to give eggs. Of course, make sure the egg is fully cooked. Half boiled eggs usually will give allergy.
This hyper lady over here is changing her pattern everyday. Last night she refused to sleep on her own bed. So I put her on our adult bed let her played with my sweater. I ignored her by playing my hp. After a while, she fell asleep on her own, with her hands hugging my sweater.
She's so sweet, isn't she? :D
(She's only sweet when she's in a good mood or sleeping soundly. Else, huhuhu, she will turned into a monster baby!)
7 months - Had a hard time during changing time especially putting on her diaper

Karen's Mildstone from 0 - 6 months
See how time flies. In another 4 days,
Baby Karen will be 6 months old. Giving birth to Baby Karen was like
yesterday kind of thing. Tada! She's now a big baby, who knows how to
crawl fast, sits steadily and playing tricks with adults @_@"
When I was pregnant with Karen, everything was good. My blood sugar, iron, calsium, everything was excellent. I did not suffer from nausea at all. Therefore no vomiting, giddy and all sort of sickness a pregnant woman will go through. I am so lucky. Besides that, I still have my nice skin complexion. My skin is glowing despite develop some freckles on my right cheek.
In order to ease my delivery, I did what the professionals urged. I went for breeze walking with Sasa almost every evening. I went for yoga at least once a week until my 6th month when my stomach was too big to join the class. I went for swimming.
But still, I have a hard delivery.
Dr Lee told me I will have an early delivery as my baby's head has already engage to my pelvic bone. Therefore day and night I prayed my baby will not come out too early. During the final week of pregnancy, I was a bit worried because my baby is not "ripe" yet. Ended up I kept praying her to come out. How ironic!
Two weeks before the EDD, I had a false alarm. After that incident, my hospital bag was ever ready in case of any emergency.
On the 22/8 early morning around 3pm, there was blood sign on my panty liners. It was brownish. I think that was my plug. Hubby brought me to the hospital around 7am. Doctor inspected me and asked me to go home. Feeling a bit disappointed, I went home and prayed :(
On the 23/8 early morning around 1am, I felt a gush under my vagina! Oppss... my water bag burst! (Should be leaking, not burst). Quickly bath, washed my hair and went to the hospital again. When I reached the hospital, it was around 4am. After the junior doctor checked me, she and nurse say they need senior Dr to make another round of inspection before accepting me. Waited until 10am, finally Dr checked me. My cervix only dilate around 1cm. After ding ding dong dong, I finally got the approval to be admitted. But there was a problem, there's no bed for me at the Maternity Ward. With the mild contraction pain and waiting there like idiot, finally someone checked out around 12noon. I was parked under a 3-patient room with a private washroom. The room has aircon somemore. Lucky me. Hubby is not allowed to stay there with me. I can met him 3 times a day. Around 1 hour each visit. He came to visit me that evening. I was so happy to see him. Every visits, he bought me lots of nice food. But I do not have any appetite. So sorry about it.
I slept well that night. Nothing happened. I'm still disappointed.
On the 24/8 morning, Dr said my cervix only dilate around 2cm and asked me to go for VE. After I done my VE, my contraction interval kicks in after 1 hour. The interval was like 3-5 mins once. After 6 hours, Dr checked and told me it has dilated to 4cm. But the labour ward was full. I need to wait :(
And this young doctor, Dr Ting, ahh... don't know how to say her lah! She should have booked a bed for me that evening. But she didn't! She didn't! She didn't! If not because of her mistake, I've already in the labour ward! So I waited and waited like an idiot until my water bag really burst! Blast!! A lot of water coming out. I wet myself and my bed. Oh no, I was in despair! It happened around 1am. I went to the counter there telling them I wanted to go to the labour ward. They told me still full, no bed for me. I was so lost. I didn't know what to do. I felt so sorry for myself. I nearly cried. Plus I really hate that indian doctor. She is so lazy. She's the only Dr around that time. I really feel like strangling her!
I waited until next morning 6am (25/8). A junior male Dr came. I told him my happening last night. He quickly booked a bed for me at the labour ward. Senior Dr was surprise to find me still in the Maternity Ward. Then start scolding the Dr Ting for not booking a bed for me. Omg.
What I had that morning was a half cup of Milo. They urgently send me to the Labour Ward. By then, my contraction falls back to mild. Once in every 10-20 mins. I waited on the labour bed there watching TV. The atmosphere was cold. I can hear people screaming. Ewww...
It was boring at the Labour Ward. Dr came, do this do that, check this check that. I don't feel comfortable at all, but there's nothing I could do. I skipped lunch and waited there. Around 6pm, they increased the medicine, omg, pain like hell! Not going further details on what happen. I was in pain. I cried when the Dr told me baby heart beat is not stable during contraction. They will give operation if baby is too stress inside. I cried and cried and cried. Doctor then only found out I still have urine inside me. How lame. By then I couldn't take the pain anymore. I asked the doctor whether I can have an operation. I did not want to wait until 7.20 to decide whether to operate or natural birth. My cervix was 6cm that time. Percentage of women having 6cm dilated to 10cm is like 33% only. I told the Dr even if I can go to 10cm, I will not have the energy to push anymore. Luckily the Dr agreed and sent me for operation around 7pm. Operation went off smoothly. Baby Karen came out 7.45pm. She's so sweet! I actually smell and kissed her. I will remember that moment for the rest of my life. I was so glad to see her. She's amazingly pretty!
I spent the night sleeping like a dead body. I couldn't move my legs. They were paralyzed. Nurse helped me to take care of bb. I had gastric result from no food whole day. It was more terrible next morning. I felt pain at my abdomen when I moved. Somemore nurse forced me to walk around with my abdomen pain. Slowly I lifted up myself from the bed and started working. The pain killer they gave really strong. I was no more in pain during evening. I can take care of bb all by myself that night. Many people do not believe I had a caesarean section when they see how I moved around.
I would like to thank God for sending many angels to protect me. My appreciation here will never ever pay back what God has done for me. I would like to thank my Hubby for being so supportive and helpful. He even slept in the car at the hospital carpark on 24/8 night. I would like to thank my parents for being so caring, visited me every meal time and making ginger pork for me to eat. I would like to thank my FIL and aunty for visiting and preparing kachangma for me. I'm glad I have so many nice people around me.
Thank you so much!

Day 135 (6/1): Mummum??
Karen has been a very good girl today. Daddy had to go company trip, therefore ah kong & ah mah came to pick up Mummy and Karen for our usual Sunday breakfast.
Since Karen loves milk strike, so Mummy now feeding Karen on 2 - 2.5oz every feeding in between 1.5 - 2 hours time frame. So far so good! She's not wasting much milk despite I have more bottles to wash.
As usual, she will turn a bit cranking during the late evening. So I placed her on my chest while i was sitting on a chair. She looked at me, start drooling over my chest. Looked at me again and said "Mummum!"
It was loud and clear!
When did I taught her to say "Mummum"? I always told her it is "Nen Nen".
Awww... this baby is so cute. Well, I'm going to monitor her to see whether she said that again or not.
Karen went for her Pneumoccocal Vaccination 28th last month. Her measurement was 6kg, 64cm. During her last visit to Dr Siew for Rota Virus Vaccination, she was 5.6kg. So she increased by 400g but her length is long. Dr Siew said her weight is M size while her length is more to L size.
Mummy going to start cereal or puree for Karen next weeked. I'm sure she will enjoy it very much.

Day 123 (25/12): Merry Christmas
Today is a very special date. Karen is Day 123, embarking into her 4th month. I still remember last year, I caught a flu and went to see doctor half suspecting I'm pregnant. It was the most meaningful xmas gift i ever had. During that time, tiny Karen was 5 weeks old.
I still can't get the falling scene from my head. The moment I saw her crying on the floor with legs and hands squeezing together. My heart really pain. I'm so regret for what had happened. I promised I will never let it happen again.
