Ready for Number 2...

Clothes for Ryan has been sorted out, all from sis Karine, baby cot set-up & ready.  I'm not sure whether I've missed out anything important.

Labour bag - Err, James will know

Labour plan - Well, James definitely stay beside me, Ian will have po po to care for...

Stem Cell - I think we are not going to sign up for him as well

Baby bottles - I bought them, glass bottles with silicon sleeves, sterilised...

Diapers - bought

Confinement - Mummy will take care of me... Q-niong will help mom in the morning for a month.

Herbs - bought all, brought mom to wholesaler in Jln Ipoh

Ian - He has been waiting for brother, he always ask me why baby so long hasn't come out yet?  And how baby is going to come out & how about me?  I was born in Tawakal & how about baby, which hospital? 

There's one time, Ryan kicked me so hard, I shouted out loud, Ian being caring, instantly asked me "mommy, are you OK?" & when I told his it was just baby kicking me too hard, he started angrily at my tummy & shouted, "baby aarr, don't kick mommy!"  :)

Approching 34 Weeks...

Time flies, I'm going to be 34 weeks already...

All the while I want to take a photo, but for Ian I didn't, I just hope I would get around to take some pregnancy shots before I pop...

This pregnancy has proven to be harder than the 1st one, my nausea till now & I'll vomit the rest of the day.

He's so different compared to Ian, moving actively the whole day & I won't be worry to count the kicking.

Since my Obgyn did comment that the placenta is a bit lowish during my 4th to 5th months, but after that it's ok... but I still opt for caesarean.  Therefore, a pre-scheduled date & pre-registration was done in July, I choose 28 Sept 2009 to be the same birthday with Zyta & agreed by James.

I've prepared everything for his arrival due to Ian arrived premature (37 weeks).

Anyway, countdown the days, lets hope everything will be smooth sailing.  

Technical Scan-20 Weeks

Pregnancy, Ryan Woo16 May 2009 was scheduled for a Technical Scan on 20 weeks for Num2.

Number 2-HE or SHE

We went for a check-up on 16 May 2009, I was 19 weeks pregnant with Ryan. Daddy came along during Mommy’s appointment. We were both so anxious to see you, to learn that you are healthy and to find out if you were a boy or a girl. After all the routine measurements, we asked the doctor to see if he can tell us the baby’s sex. The doctor asked us to give him 3 reasons why we wanted to know your sex. After telling him that we are curious, excited and bro Ian would like to know. He happily told us that our baby is BOY. We asked the doctor how certain he was that our baby is a boy. He confidently said YES, I am 100% sure your baby is a boy. Daddy still couldn’t believe it. He has been telling himself all along that the baby would be a girl. Well, here is the picture to prove that little Ryan didn’t want you to doubt that he is definitely a boy. ( the kuku bird)

Expecting number 2

And the journey begins…

After our Bali trip Sept 08, we’ve been waiting for you for 4 months. At least that’s how long it’s been since your Daddy & I decided to add another child to our family. Thank you Lord for giving us such a decision, especially after attending the marriage course in Jul/Aug 08.

It was a Saturday, 7 Feb 09 & I was actually 1 week late, I decided to search in the cabinet & take a pregnancy test. I was shocked when the test came up positive. I was so happy but I was scared too with my last history I wondered if I’d able to carry on this pregnancy.

I just had to be sure… So I did a second test, a few days after…

Ob/Gynae Visit:

We are still in dilemma about the  doctor, Dr Kelvin Lim in Tawakal or Gleneagles, Dr Alex Mathew, recommended by Erisca.  Thinking of a hospital with good facilities… We'll be trying Dr Alex, after the visit, we've decided to choose him.  He is nice, patient, considerate...

On 16 Feb 2009, below is our first scan of Num2 at 6 weeks…

Second Scan on 2 Mar 2009, 8 weeks...

Body Reaction:

The feeling of Nausea non-stop for the whole day.  It's either I've forgotten the 1st trimester with Ian, I felt more terrible this time... Don't have appetite too.  I've been very tried and went to bed early.  Luckily, hubby gave full support of taking care of Ian and the house work.
