BIG day..6 Aug 2009

BB is set to arrive on 6 Aug 2009 (EDD 19 Aug 2009). Ask me why this date..hmmm..
1) Am planning for a csection since the previous 2 preggies did not result in natural birth. Thought it will be more 'cost saving' to plan for it rather to have an emergency csection later on
2) The fortune teller has helped to calculate this 吉日.
Asked dear dear whether he is excited or not, he said ok lar (as usual) *eyes rolling*. On the other hand, am feeling more excited as the BIG day draws closer.

Gynae reported that bb should be about 2.5kgs nw...hopefully she will continue to eat more grow and hit more than 3kgs mark. tsk tsk. ;)

Simple pleasures...

Brought both darling girls to the AMK swing on last saturday evening...can see that they really enjoyed it. Seeing their radiant smiles...Simple life simple pleasures...

goodbyes and kisses

This morning when we were saying and waving our goodbyes to my honey pie Melody, she waved and said goodbye too. Then she said go go go go and went on to pick up her shoes and started to put it on wanting to follow us out!

Finally, after much 'war', goodbyes and kisses, we managed to close the door and as we were walking to the lift, she was still calling out papa papa papa... ...

32 weeks preggie

Went for the 8th mth 'wellness' scan at 32 weeks. My gynae would prescribe this scan for all his patients, wonder if others practise it or not (hmm...?).

In comparison,
* Baby no.3 weighs 1874gms
* Tiffany weighed 1644gms
* Melody weighed 1604gms

Had been worried about bb's weight gain, eating well or not, etc as i hav been vomitting out watever all meals accompanied by ls for the past few days. After a jab and blood test, my appetite returned to normal and i could eat an elephant again! heehee

Mostaix Art Modified

One day, when i went back home after work, Tiffany has erm improved on the art work with the leftover beads which we had brought back!! haha

Mostaix Art Competition

It was a hot and sunny Sunday morning! But nevertheless, the whole family went and root for Tiffany as Auntie Rachel has suggested to let Tiffany take part in Mostaix art competition and mummy thought why not, for the fun of it.

yee yee busy busy busy...

yee yee and tiffy posing after finishing the art, erm wad is ah cher auntie doing pointing here and there in the background ah?

Yeah! it was yee yee who had lent a hand to Tiffy in the competition. And guess wad, we got the 4th position!! Thanks to everyone's hardwork and contribution for making it a fun day for Tiffy - to po po who helped to took apart and catergorising the small little beads, to gong gong who drove yee yee and po po to event venue and helped took care of Melody, to daddy who was the photographer, to mummy for (erm!) signing up the competition making everyone as sweaty as can be keke, and most credit should go to yee yee! She has helped Tiffy complete the art work as fast as she can despite the hot weather and long nails. ;p

2 sweaty girls

the prize presention

the fruit of labour

and the need for an icy cold drink to cool down?

Swing swing swing

Brought Tiffany to a swing at AMK park last Sunday, and she was squealing with delight and couldnt get enough of it!

For the fun of it..Audition for Singapore Calendar Baby

Gosh, what has happened to Melody? One of her double eyelids went missing since tis morning! Then she scratched herself on her arm and the mark was still there. And she has yet to recover from her running nose yet.

Yee yee has signed her up for Singapore Calendar Baby 2010, the audition was held over today and tmr. The theme for today's audition was polka dot (lucky Melody can wear Tiffany's polka dot dress, slightly long but nvm lar ;p) . Melody was supposed to register at 11.30am at Junction 8. By the Melody's turn (after queuing for almost 2 hours!), Melody was very grumpy and sleepy already. She didnt smile on stage despite mummy's cheering, and worse, she cried when it came to her turn for photgraphy shoot off stage. Hmmm.... tink her chances very very slim with more than 400 cute babies vying for the chance to appear on the calendar (based on my estimations).

My 16mths old

Wanted to cut her nails, but she also wanted to do it herself.

Sleeping Angel

We were outside having lunch, but Melody refused to wake up no matter how hard we shoke her. haahaa..find it very amusing..in the end i use a wet wipe to wipe her face then she woke up keke...

Visit to Dentist

This was not the first visit to dentist...Tiffany's first visit was probably a year ago but did not bring her back for follow up treatment as the dentist (The Kids Dentist) had recommended her to go under GA to do repairs or further treatment for her teeth, hw can i bring myself to make her go thru such ordeal right.... So today, brought to another dentist (GPA Dental) and viola! the dentist did wonders (drilled and restored the one front teeth which was chipped) and nw she can have a perfect smile! Tiffany was very brave and cooperative throughout the treatment!

The Little Big Club Musical Concert

Brought the girls to The Little Big Club concert at Singapore Expo. Today was the first day of the show. Heh was super happy to see that both of them had enjoyed the show cos they were already feeling very sleepy and it was suppose to be their nap time, but when the show started, they perked up. The atmosphere was being piped up with songs and dances! At one point, Melody was dancing with the crew and nearly 'ran away' with the crew! There were a few characters in the show but when Bob the Builder came up, was very surprised that Tiffany knew his songs and were singing away. The finale was of cos Barney and his gang, when they appeared, all the children went literally crazy!

Front row seats of Sector B2

Was initially undecided whether to go or not (as need to get 4 tickets and Cat 1 nw burnt big big hole in pocket already) till Tiffany reminded me repeatedly , by then can only get Sector B but still front row. Seating still consider quite good, we have a very good and clear view of the show.

Taking picture while waiting for the show to start...see Tiffy's happy face.

Melody dancing with handsome crew...in Angelina the Ballerina interactive dance segment...

Tiffany joined in...

Barney and the whole gang of The Little Big Club...

And not to forget, the souvenirs bought...

Oh ya, Zoe Tay and Vivian Lai (with their children) were spotted at the concert heehee

Fighting fighting

Whoever told me children would be 'partners' and play together..haiz..my 2 little angels hardly play together harmoniously wor. Po Po and Gong Gong always said 'Ur 2 girls r so difficult to take care, so nottie lei. Next time, no.3 comes along ah, more headache!'

There were many occasions of 'fighting' and just yesterday evening, when i had Tiffy sitting on one lap and Melody came up and also wanted to sit on my lap. So good lar, one on each lap...who knows, Melody slapped on her sister's head, next pinched her sister's shoulder so hard it turned red, next pinched her sister's arm and tried to push her sister away. Aiyo, while trying not to show favoritism, I still carried hugged both on my laps, erm scolded Melody (dunno whether she understands or not) and trying to soothe Tiffy cos she was crying away already. Ended up, Melody also trying to imidate her sister - also pretended to cry lor...

Hmm, was i being too lenient? Should i have punished Melody by not having her on my lap? Should i deploy the cane the next time the girls misbehaved?
