I'm 23 years le... We went to Fish & co. for a little dinner celebration with Da & his friends... Thereafter, we went to Demsey Road for some chill out... It's the 1st time that I went there & know that there's actually such a place (so mountain tortoise!). A real peaceful place, where Da tried his 1st cigar (Cocoa flavor). Really funny to see him holding such a thick roll between his lips.

Had a busy day looking after my princesses while everyone is not around. They are also 5mths old now & Le'er is showing signs that she will start to crawl soon. Coping ok!!! So far so good but now there's a decision that I have to make soon... To stay? or to continue?

Drooling, drooling and drooling,,, Xi'er simply can't stop her drooling... and the big news came, Yup! she is teething already & two at a time. Wo!!! My Mei Mei is a big gal le... Just simply so happy when they told me that she has got 2 small cute teeth at the bottom of her jaws... Now Le'er is also starting to drool alot, we guess it is just matter of time b4 she start to have her 1st tooth a well. Waiting patiently.

Yup!!! According to lunar calendar, my prinesses are 4mths old today... And also the 1^st day of my exam papers... Gosh... haven really got time to study at home, especially when Jodie is crying alot and for no apparent reasons....

Tomorrow I’m on leave and I hope that I will be able to do some studyings when I’m at home... Hope all these isn’t too much to ask for...

They are now about 3.5 mths old... heard from my mum in-law that they are playing with the baby walker already... & they love it... Sometimes I just hope that time can fly to 2yrs later and stop there. I believe by then they will be much better, as in they will be able to tell you what they want & not cry their way tru. It can really get on yr nerves specially when u are already tired and still need to do some studying. I guess it will be better when my course end next December!!! (Still a little way to go). Exam is due next week ... 5 modules this time round, wish me luck & not laze around SO MUCH!!

It's yet another Saturday... At this point of time, I'm rocking Jodie to sleep. Was supposed to do some homework but ended up surfing net & updating blog & some photos. Another 4 more days & they will be 3mth old. How I hope they can grow old faster, @ least I know what they want and not hear them cry so often (it breaks my heart to see them cry).

Have been taking care of Jodie for some time now since the nanny left. So far so good but Jodie is definitely a late sleeper whereas Jonie sleep @ abt 9pm daily... Jodie like to go to bed @ 11pm. Too bad!! I guess just her routine to go to bed so late. They are only near 3mths old, but it interesting to see that they each have a very different character. Jodie is quiet and rarely laugh loudly. While Jonie is very active and cheerful (+ talkative). LOL. Well!! these are no big issues but sometimes they seems to know what you are telling them & they seems to be able to ans you (mayb dreaming). Counting down to their next achievement (i.e. siting, holding the bottle, crawling...).

Today is the lunar 7th mth also my princesses full mth. Due to this 7th mth, we will not be celebrating their full mth.

11am: Just up went down stairs o have my breakfast together with my textbook as I will be having an exam later @ 3pm.

12.30pm: The washing machine is at it's second cycle and the maid had not come down yet to pour in the softener. Hence I decided to pour it for her... BUT!!! I fell even before I reached the laundry area... IT'S FLOODING!!! The maid have forgotten to put the host into the drain and it has over flown the laundry area. Landed on my butt then my head, I cried uncontrollably trying to get up but simply can't. Tried calling for her but she didn't hear me, instead my dog came and sat by side for awhile before she went to the stairs. But she didn't go up to called the maid but sat there looking at me then t the stairs again. So I rolled to my side so that I will not get too wet. After resting for some time, I crawled to the dinning table and reach for my HP and called Da.

1pm: Da came home and took me to hospital

1.30pm: Reached the hospital and the doctor broke my water bag. I was then induced for labour but after 8hrs still no sign that the babies are coming, so the doctor suggested that I go for C-section. On hearing this I started to cry more, as I'm so afraid of being cut open and furthermore doc also suggested that I go to sleep instead of half body.

11pm: I woke up in the operating theater, shivering non-stop simply cant control myself to stop shivering. I was being pushed out and I saw Da. Cant remember what he told me or ask me le... In a blur and very dizzy.

The next day, Da told me that they were born at 2157 & 2158 1min apart and are doing well for twins. Weighing 2.99kg(Jie Jie) and 2.45kg(Mei Mei) resp. Till date they are 1 week old le and have just brought them for they 1st checkup today. Weighing about 2.6kg & 3.15kg resp. Finally all the anxiety is over and this is the date of a beginning of a new chapter.

Tired, stress and lazy! Still studying hard for my exams tomoro... don't think can make it... really cant recall what I have learned in ploy & for goodness sick, I dun know how to use the calculator... Somebody HELP!!! I hate statics that's it. Thursday there any paper, Information System in Management. Sigh!!! worst... dun even know what I'm reading. Hope I can pass, a pass will do and that my babies will not decide to arrive during my exams.

Just went for my check up last Saturday, all was well per the gynae. Now my babies are finally slightly above 2kg and my gynae is also not so worried about them coming too early. But I’m still worried for them & the pain & the method of birth & … …

Sometimes I want them to be out asap, so that I dun have to carry such a heavy load around and having to use so much strength to get out of bed in the middle of the night just to go to the loo or wake up in the morning. Now even turning & tossing in bed is a tough work, least to say experiencing numbness in the night after sleeping too long on my side. But I guess all will end soon, perhaps another 1-2 mths? Hope they will not come during my exam period (mid July), cos I dun wan to defer my exam to November (by then I will have 8 subjects in total). Nor do I wan to defer my course by half a year. Help me someone … … someone help me!

Bird's nest ... Modern science has ascertain that bird's nest contains different proteins, vitamins and various other minerals. Research has also found that it contains the epidermal growth factor which helps to strengthen the body; moisturize the skin; maintain beauty; provide energy and; enhance metabolism of fat.

During Pregnancy, consumption of bird's nest can increase nutrition & improve the health. After giving birth, consumption of bird's neat can lead to faster recovery & can help to regain slim figure.

As for newborns, their stomach & spleen are often weak. Resulting in diarrhea & loss of appetite. Feeding them with bird's nest that has been dissolved in milk can improve these deficiencies. When they are 6mths old, we can fed them with porridge containing bird's nest. As they mature into children, taking bird's nest can help strengthen the body & support the growth of the brain.

So people out there start to invest in some bird's nest... ...

It’s yet another Monday… Sitting in front of the computer just to kill some time before I go to prepare lunch. Hmmm… What should I cook for lunch? Boring… Can someone come & bring me out? Shopping & massage may be the only thing I’m looking forward to now. Saw an ad on pre-natal massage not sure if I should go try in out. Well, it’s on a discount @ $78 per trial. Is this very expensive or should I just save the $$ for the port-natal massage? Sigh… …

Blues … Must be the effect of staying @ home for too long with nothing much to do. Now that the maid has come, it has became my duty to tell her what to do everyday & make sure that she did it right. Lucky she understands English or else I will go mad. So far so good, she is fast in her work & able to take instructions. I hope she can still cope when the babies come & I have to go back to work. I’m already wondering if I would give up my job to take of my babies. I’m worried that Da would not be able to cope too. Having to support 2 babies, a wife & a family is no joke. Well! There’s nothing much we can do now but watch each step we take.

Went to see my gynae today, all was well. My babies each weight about 1.1kg now, while I weighted a whoopi 55.5kg… Where did the other 10kg goes to? I definitely don’t look fat but only slight water retention at my legs. According to an article that I have read, the additional weight gain during pregnancy goes to areas like: Placenta (0.45kg – 1kg), Amniotic Fluid (1kg), Uterus (1kg), Maternal breast tissue (1kg), Maternal blood (2kg), Fluids in maternal tissue (2kg), Maternal fat & nutrient stores (3kg) and; Baby (3kg – 4kg). Also from the article, if you were a healthy weight before pregnancy, you should gain about 11kg – 16kg.

Next time round when you or your wife gets pregnant, you will have to understand the slowness in action. It’s not something that we make an excuse out from it but it is really heavy! Even now if I am to walk for too long, you will see me carrying my tummy. But still there are pregnant ladies who do not feel a bit of different. Well! It comes down to different people experience different pregnancy.

Finally I can enter the blog … Well just to update on my progress of my pregnancy, have admitted myself into hospital on

25 April 2007

due to tightness of the tummy. At that point of time really got no idea that was contraction until I reach the hospital and they put me on an equipment to monitor my babies’ heart beat. I really thought that the tightness was due to the bad cough I was having at that point of time. Really gave both of us such a shock cos we haven really bought all the things that the babies will need when they arrive. Lucky all went well after 6 days of stay and I checked out on 1^st of May 2007. Doctor told me that I have to rest well at home, like how I’m resting in the hospital eat, sleep, TV and; wash up. Now I’m back home and my mother-in-law is taking care of me… So pie say, yesterday still vomited on the floor and she have to clean up for me. Hopefully the maid can come sooner so that she can go back to office to help them. Everyone is so busy doing something but me.

Doctor has also stopped me from going to work and school. She commented that I can study but don’t stress myself too much. How can study not be stressful? So far I have missed so much lessons that I’m worried I will not be able to cope. Going to see her again this Saturday, Erm! Think she will extend my MC further till maybe another month? Cos she did say that if I’m to give birth now it will be too risky for my babies, have to drag till at least July where they will only be 1 month premature. And for goodness sick if they are to need the incubator, which would cost us a huge bomb cos 1 day of usage would be S$1,000 (1 Baby) excluding all other special care they may need. Hahaha!!! Let us just hope they will be good and stay in there longer. Ok Babies?

It has been confirmed ... I'm having princesses. So happy... but during Monday's checkup (19/03/2007) doctor also advised that I do not stressed myself too much as my placenta is slightly low & there are chances of miscarriage or premature birth. She say that I may have to stop working in June !!! Meaning I have to stay in bed till I'm due to give birth... Gosh!! Is this a good or bad news? (Rest or Rot?) Anyway no worries... will still have to find time to do shopping for my 2 girls. So many things to buy but yet not sure where to start buying.... Aiyo !!! But I'm still happy.

Finally all is over, really tired out but all went well. Many thanks to Da's & my group of bros & sisters.

Have been resting @ home for three days now, will be back to work tomorrow... How I dun wish to ...

Many thanks to those who went to the dinner. Once again thank you!
