Breastfeeding journey seems more difficult for me this time round when she doesn’t latches well and I need to keep pumping to supply for her. This is rather time consuming and sort of taken away the time I can spend with kor kor which makes me feel lousy. I guess i must keep trying if I wanna prolong the journey. On the side note, I am blessed with grandmaKWAN’s support as she reminded me that I have breastfed korkor for 2 years, I should also put in equal effort for mei mei this time round.
Dealing with #2 is a little easier in comparison to our firstborn period where everything seems so alien to us then. Now, we are more prepared and less paranoid at certain parenting acts. The challenge which we are still juggling is to provide equal attention to korkor and mei mei.

We are lucky that Mei mei do not have any severe Jaundice issue. She managed to get PD’s clearance for Jaundice on day 6. PD requested us to monitor at home in case it worsen. A short trip to the clinic that let me go out for a short breather, after which we need to be good and go home for confinement.

See how happy she smiles. On a side note, cordon Bleu for cooking is superb! The confinement food cook with it is soooooooo tasty. Yums! ✌🏻 P.S: no baby was harmed during this photo-taking session. LOL! #wearesurvivingwiththenewborn #princessTAN#talkaboutMayris #confinement #马爹利蓝带 We headed to TMC for our weekly Gynae Visit with UncleTHAM today at 39 weeks + 2 days. The clinic has also arranged CTG scan to see if there is any contraction and to monitor the baby movement. Sadly, no contraction and uncleTHAM told us to see us again after Christmas at 40 weeks. We then head out to distribute some of the Christmas cookies which I have baked for some of my friends before meeting our family for lunch and dinner since it is 冬至. Who knows that contraction starts to surface at around 8.40pm with an interval at around 7-10 minutes each time. The cramp, ache and pain came to me like a Déjà vu which I have previously experienced during the birth of Morris. While trying to be certain that I am in time for labour, we took readings for another 2 hours while putting Morris to sleep for the night and calling GrandparentsKWAN home. The pain was so intense as the hours goes by and I am very certain that the surprise is coming~ We say goodbye to loverboy before driving off to the hospital with immense pain at my lower back as we admitted to TMC at 12 midnight. Immediately we were guided to the Operating Theatre and was nagged by the nurse because I endured with the contraction pain for almost 3 hours. I was already 5 cm dilated during admission and I was lucky that I requested epidural immediately. Understood from the nurse that 6 cm dilation is the maximum possibility for epidural selection: p IWhile the daddy headed down to register for admission, I was alone facing the nurse for the various injection as well as the epidural insertion. This time round, the insertion causes severe shivers which is something that I dislike. No more than 10 minutes, the contraction pain became minimal but it also causes numbness to the legs which I am fortunate to have daddy to help me massage the legs to make them feel less numb. Then, i become happy girl since the contraction pain is away. We begin to wait patiently for the dilation to happen as we needed it to be 10 cm before we can start pushing. The wait was kinda boring as we were both tired since it is wee hours but good job to daddy as he managed to stay awake by playing his Nintendo switch. My water bag broke at about 2.30 am before the contraction becoming more and more intense. I think the nurse actually gave me mild dosage on the epidural medicine as I could feel the contraction and the pressure of the baby pushing down. Nurses then started to get prepared while wearing their OT gears and requested me to push 1 time to see how well I pushes before deciding if we needed to call UncleTHAM over. Guess what! 1 push and we can see the head trying to come out already hence UncleTHAM was called over at almost 3am lol. Thereafter, I took lesser than 10 pushes and our princess arrive~ We welcome you PrincessTAN - Myris Tan Xin Rui <3
