Archie has joined our family this morning, 6th March 2010, at 0807 hours.  He is three weeks early, coming into this world at his 37th week, he weighs 2.5kg.

Sarah's birthday falls on 3rd June, hence their birth dates are the opposite of each other, 6-3 & 3-6.

This is likely to be the final post on this blog, as we are moving to a blog that is dedicated to the both of them instead of just Sarah.

Thanks for reading!

The url of the new blog will be posted once the empress dowager gives the green light.

The 'Hokkien Pai' terrible two

Sarah has been putting us through her terrible two antics for quite a while, ever since she discovered the power of 'NO'. She has blatanly defied her parents in public by refusing to walk, to come down the stairs, to hold hand while crossing the road, to leave the supermarket........ Every visit to the supermarket is traumatic for us, it almost always end with a wrestling match, force has to be used to evacuate her out of the supermarket. The most tricky sections are the fruits section, where she must grab the apples; and the cashier counter, as they have colourful wide variety of candies on display besides the cashier.

Even though saying 'NO' is a norm attribute of the terrible two, she has left us scratching our heads as she uses 'MAI' instead of no'. Mai is the hokkien for no, no one in our family, extended family or school speaks any dialect to her. She will 'MAI' at us loudly and swings her arm wildly and furiously like a drama queen.

Dilation

The dilation has began, which means Bei should be borned within the few days or by the end of the week.

We went for our scheduled consultation with Dr Fong today, it was brought forward from the end of the week as Flo has been experiencing contractual + lower abdominal pains since the latter part of last week. Upon hearing the symptoms, Dr Fong said there was a lot of downward pressure and wanted to check on the cervix. From the examination, he discovered that the cervix has already dilated to a width of about 2cm. Next he proceeded to the ultrascan, due to some unknown reasons, the attempts to gauge bei's weight were in-conclusive, the first take was 3kg, the second 2.1kg and the third at 2.3kg -_-" . After doing an ECG test, bei's heart rate was normal but contraction movements was charted as well. Dr Fong decided to send us to TMC for a more thorough scan to ascertain his weight as well as the blood pressure.

The test results at TMC were good, bei has grown to 2.5kg, his blood pressure is normal and the best news was the placenta has fully moved up, as such c-section is not necessary for delivery! However, as the cervix has dilated, we are told to monitor bei closely and be prepared for delivery any time this week.

We are very excited and looking forward to seeing him.
