礼物

2012-01-30T21:53:00.000+08:00

璇璇，

爸爸已经确定不能和你一起庆祝你的两岁生日了。

你生日那天爸爸应该还在从美国奥兰多回来的路途中，在至少两完英尺的高空中，爸爸一定会祝福你生日快乐的。

日子过得这么快，爸爸忙到刚能坐下来帮你记录生活点滴的时候，你已经快两岁了。

记得你刚刚出世的那段日子，是爸爸妈妈俩最忙碌时刻；爸爸妈妈都要准备考试，尤其是妈妈，生下你不到两个月后就要靠两张相当难考的试卷。

那时候，爸爸妈妈轮流照顾你。白天爸爸上班的时候，由妈妈照顾你。

爸爸上班回来晚餐后就去睡觉，睡到九点多十点多起床后接班；妈妈呢会睡到凌晨三点起来接班和温习功课。

那时候你也是差不多三个钟头喝奶一次，睡醒肚子饿的时候哭声也是特别响亮的。（很难想象现在的你说话是那么地温柔）

晚上八点多喝完奶后，爸爸“值班”的时候会在晚上十一点和凌晨两点多喂你喝奶；记得你一个多月大的时候，喝完奶后你喜欢看着房间的那盏晕黄的灯，煞有其事地对着灯说话。

帮你换尿片涂爽身粉时你总是会怕痒到笑，爸爸那时候喜欢嘲笑你：怎么一个月大的孩子也会怕痒？

像大多数婴儿一样，喂你喝完奶后爸爸需要很有耐心地轻拍你的背部让你打呃，不然的话你的肚子就会胀风或者呕奶。

那段时候喂你喝六十毫升的奶水需要半个钟头，拍背加换尿片也要至少半个钟头。换完尿片哄你睡后再洗完奶瓶后已经一个钟头多过去了；而你下次喝奶的时间又是在一个多钟头之后。

家里没有请佣人，真的是要照顾过婴儿后才知道养儿育女的不简单。

但是每次抱你在手掌心时（呵你是那么地小），心里面满满的都是疼惜呵。

那段时候让爸爸妈妈伤脑筋的也是你排便的次数，你在三个月大之前（特别是头两个月），每个星期只是排便最多两次。

通常距离你上次拍便后的第三天，你的肚子就会开始肿胀，爸爸妈妈摸你的肚子时会觉得你的肚子硬硬的，像一粒石头。

到了第三天过后你就会不舒服到哭了，你一哭的话爸爸就慌了。驱风油、拍背、大便软化剂等就会派上用场；但是很多时候这只是短暂的舒解而已，需要等你排便后你才能舒服沉稳地入睡。

而你似乎总是特别地钟爱爸爸的服务，总是等到夜深人静时才静静地排便，爸爸记得有两三次你是在爸爸帮你换尿片换到一半时才“出恭”。

由于是累积了差不多一个星期的大便，“出恭”的分量可想而知；手忙脚乱的爸爸有一次还必须浪费了三片的尿片和几乎半盒的纸巾才能处理好你的排泄物。

但是看到你排完便后沉沉睡去的样子，爸爸内心却充满了满足感。

爸爸这阵子特别喜欢看那时候帮你拍的录影，爸爸的小宝贝现在也开始长高，开始可以跟爸爸进行简单的会话，开始不停地唱着一首又一首好听的歌给爸爸听了。

每次听着你用心唱出来的歌声，爸爸总是觉得妈妈、姐姐和你是上天赐给爸爸最好的礼物。

爸爸

生日小派对

2011-03-13T13:20:00.000+08:00

璇璇，

上个星期六爸爸妈妈帮你办了你的一岁小型生日派对。

我们邀请了祖父祖母外公外婆阿姨姨丈堂哥堂姐表哥表姐们来家里帮你庆祝。

对，你是家里中最小的小孩子；也是爸爸妈妈的小小公主。

爸爸那天医院比较忙碌，早上开会下午受邀在讲座中讲一个课题。

讲座完后匆匆忙忙地赶去拿妈妈帮你订好的蛋糕，然后回家载妈妈去拿前一天订好的食物，过后去载堂哥堂姐。

回到家不久，大家都来了。本来爸爸还担心你会怕生，但是看到你坐在婴儿椅上开心地把脚荡来荡去，爸爸就比较放心了。

那天傍晚你是非常开心的，看到家里很多比你大的哥哥姐姐们跑来跑去，你也兴奋到大声喊。

虽然你那拖了一个多月的病还没完全痊愈，但是已经没有发烧的你总算能尽兴开心地渡过你的生日。

后来大家帮你唱生日歌时，妈妈抱着你，你突然间静了下来，很专心地听着大家唱生日歌。

然后吹蜡烛吃蛋糕。

妈妈帮你特别定制的巧克力蛋糕特别美味可口，爸爸也喂了你吃了一些。

如果不是担心你病还没完全痊愈喉咙会痛的话，爸爸可能还会再喂你多吃一些的。

看到你出世到现在，一天天开开心心地长大，爸爸妈妈心里也觉得非常欣慰。

接下来的日子，爸爸妈妈会继续努力让你开心，还有健康少生病。

因为你的来临，爸爸妈妈生活里也多了更多欢乐和幸福。

谢谢你，小宝贝。

虽然已经过了一个星期，但是还是要再次跟小宝贝你说：生日快乐。=）

爸爸

简单的生日快乐

2011-03-10T01:34:00.001+08:00

璇璇，

过去的两个多月，你和姐姐轮流生病；本来爸爸妈妈还担心你会带病过生日，但是幸好在生日前几天你的烧慢慢退了，只剩下鼻子还流着鼻涕。

前天星期二离开医院后，爸爸妈妈就去外婆家接你，爸爸妈妈那天的晚上是完全留给你的。

我们带你到家附近的购物广场的餐厅内用餐。

由于你还完全痊愈，生日的整个下午几乎都在睡觉，但是晚上和爸爸妈妈一起用餐时，我们可以感觉到你的开心。

你笑了很多，开心到在餐厅内大喊了几次。

我们点了份简单的巧克力布朗尼蛋糕，用完餐后就在餐厅内唱生日歌给你听。

你静静地听爸爸妈妈唱生日歌，然后一起吹蜡烛，吃蛋糕。

显然地你非常喜欢加了冰淇淋的巧克力布朗尼，一口又一口地吃着。

但是爸爸妈妈不敢让你吃太多；我们吃了蛋糕后爸爸妈妈带你去Kiddy Palace看玩具。

爸爸上星期五帮你办生日派对前一天买了礼物给你了，生日当天妈妈要你自己选礼物，妈妈也要买份生日礼物给你。

我们在Kiddy Palace店里不同的角落停留，让你自己选玩具，结果你最喜欢的是木琴。

回到家后，爸爸妈妈在客厅内陪你看你开心地在木琴上敲敲打打。

晚上九点半，爸爸就带你回房陪你玩，如往常一样，你最后在爸爸唱“This Old Man”的歌声中慢慢睡着了。

爸爸妈妈的心肝宝贝，祝你生日快乐。

懒散的爸爸，这么久了才帮你记录了这短短的一篇文字。

爸爸

分开

2011-01-17T22:46:00.001+08:00

璇璇，

今天是姐姐第一天上课，昨天晚上是这几个星期以来你星期天晚上不在家。

平常星期天晚上爸爸妈妈会载姐姐去外婆家，然后整个晚上爸爸妈妈就会陪你玩。

不是陪你玩乐高模型玩具，就是看着你爬来爬去，然后不停地跟爸爸妈妈笑。

爸爸妈妈觉得你是非常享受这段时光的。

但是姐姐开课后，这段欢乐时光可能就此一去不复返了。

昨晚抱你到外婆家后，妈妈挥手跟你说“拜拜”时，你还展开双手要妈妈抱抱。

后来我们是抱着沉重的心情回家的。

爸爸回到家时，看着空荡荡的房间，心里面也是空荡荡的。

记得你一出世一回到家后，爸爸就晚上照顾你一直到凌晨三四点，有很多次甚至到早晨五六点，睡了一两个钟头就去工作。

可能因为这样，对于你的“感情”会比姐姐深，而你每次看到爸爸都是兴奋到爸爸不懂该如何形容。

爸爸妈妈的计划是姐姐上学后，只能周五晚才能带你回家。

后来晚上看到空荡荡的房间后，爸爸改变主意，等姐姐上课的事情尘埃落定后会想办法也带你回家。

也希望你这阵子没没有像平常能每天看爸爸妈妈的时候也能开心。

爸爸

2010年最后一日

2011-01-01T13:11:00.001+08:00

恩恩璇璇，

昨天是旧年的最后一天，爸爸妈妈只需要做半天工。

下班后妈妈建议说带你们到马城婴儿游乐场去玩。

爸爸妈妈回家后换了衣服，就过去外婆家带你们。

由于是第一次去那里，爸爸妈妈花了一些时间在宛如迷宫般的马城找了好一阵子才找到游乐场的位置。

岁末，多数小孩子的爸爸妈妈都没上班的关系吧，游乐场已经有很多小朋友在那里。

我们一踏进去游乐场就听到很多小孩子的欢笑声。

你们看到游乐场的设施，就兴奋了起来，尤其是姐姐你蹦蹦跳跳急不及待一副想玩的样子。

妈妈先带姐姐你去玩滑梯，但是姐姐你一看到这么高的滑梯，只滑了一下就不敢在上去玩了。

所以我们就陪妹妹看妹妹很兴奋地在游乐场上爬来爬去，有好几次妹妹你也兴奋到大声喊。

我们在游乐场玩了一个多钟头才去吃晚餐。

晚餐后妈妈在购物广场买了一些姐姐上学需要用的东西后我们才回家。

到家姐姐妹妹分别冲完凉和抹了身子后，就是你们另一段欢乐时光：先玩积木然后听爸爸讲故事。

你们2010年的最后一日就在欢笑声中度过了。

而爸爸妈妈却因为要替你们安排一系列的活动几乎心力交瘁。=）

老恩小璇，新年快乐！=）

爸爸

快乐周末

2010-12-22T09:58:00.000+08:00

恩恩璇璇，

姐姐你前个星期生病刚刚痊愈就吵着要出去“该该”，爸爸妈妈不准，并且答应你上个星期周末会带全家出去走走。

上个星期，刚好爸爸周六和周日没有上班，就有两天可以带你们出去走走的时间。

周六早，带姐姐你去幼儿园报名后，我们就去东海岸公园。

祖父祖母带妹妹你在公园的游乐场和商店逛，爸爸妈妈则和姐姐一起去骑脚车。

那是姐姐第一次来东海岸公园骑脚车；爸爸租了一辆有儿童座位在前面的脚车。

要骑上去之前，姐姐你还说怕怕；但是一坐上去后，就很兴高采烈了。

我们沿着公园海岸的脚车路骑，妈妈不时超越我们，然后我们就追赶她。

虽然只是骑了四十五分钟，由于相互追赶的关系，感觉用了很多力气。

爸爸妈妈流了很多汗；骑完脚车后我们去找在麦当劳快餐店吃早餐乘凉的祖父祖母和妹妹你。

妹妹你整个早上眼睛都是水汪汪的，爸爸看到你时还以为你哭了。

我们到公园的香港茶餐厅用早午餐；姐姐妹妹你们俩都特别兴奋。

尤其是妹妹你，一直在餐厅兴奋到大声喊；姐姐你则是手舞足蹈地跟妹妹配合。

午餐后我们去乌节路纪伊国书店帮姐姐你买书，你快要去上课了，爸爸决定在接下来的几天都陪你看书讲故事给你听。

买了几本儿童故事书给你们后，我们在乌节路闲走，然后买了一个书包给姐姐你。

然后整个下午就过去了。

隔天周日爸爸带你去寺庙还愿，姐姐你还是很怕看到寺庙的各种雕像，把祖父抱得紧紧的。

妈妈和祖母也在那里点香拜了拜天公和观音；只要你们快乐幸福爸爸妈妈也就非常开心了。

然后我们去了牛车水唐人街一带走走，妈妈喜欢吃那里的粥，但是那天必须照顾妹妹你吃粥，结果妈妈的粥变凉了。

爸爸发现原来祖父祖母挺喜欢牛车水这一带，所以接下来的日子我们应该会常去那里走走吧。=）

在那里也买了一些东西，祖母也买了几件衣服。

离开了牛车水，爸爸载你们去拉柏多国家公园（Labrador Park）；爸爸觉得那里应该是比较少人行走的，结果周日的公园果然少了。

我们在那里走了一阵子，吹了海风，看了海，也看到很多大叔在那里放风筝。

天气太炎热了，我们在那里呆了不久后就离开了。

结果回到家后，姐姐妹妹和爸爸倒头就睡；爸爸做大猪，姐姐妹妹你们俩做两只小猪。=）

爸爸

游戏

2010-12-13T22:38:00.000+08:00

璇璇，

你最近爱上了新游戏，那是一个多月之前先在外婆家学会的。

那游戏就是当你坐在学步车上时，外公就跑去躲起来，然后唤你。

你呢听到外公在唤“妹妹”“妹妹”的时候，就会循着声音的方向走去。

外公看到你时，就作出要抓你的样子。

那时候你就很快的跑掉，一边跑还一边咯咯咯咯地笑得非常开心。

而且你会不时转过头看外公有没有追过来。

如果有追过来的话，你就会兴奋到大声喊叫。

通常外公跑到一半，就会跑到另外一个地方又躲起来唤你。

你呢又会再去找外公躲藏的地方。

就这样地玩的不亦乐乎。

过去的周末，你在家就和妈妈玩得非常开心。

兴奋到晚上爸爸拍你如睡时，你还很精神弈弈地在床上翻滚，过了很久才肯入眠。

平时看起来很严肃认真的你，原来也是这么好玩的。=）

爸爸

出海

2010-12-07T22:58:00.001+08:00

璇璇，

刚过去的周末，爸爸妈妈带你乘船出海去吹吹风。

那是你第一次跟爸爸妈妈出去行走，没想到居然是在海上。

随行的还有外公外婆和两个阿姨及大姨丈，当然还有姐姐。

之前爸爸妈妈还担心你是否能适应海上的旅行，幸好在船上的那三天你每天都很开心地笑。

记得船离开港口启航时，我们全部人在甲板上吹风，你居然兴奋到手舞足蹈，不停地大声喊。

在船唯一让爸爸妈妈伤脑筋的事情就是你的胃口不怎么好，奶水最多只喝一半，连平常喜欢吃的谷类也不想吃。

如果我们强行逼你吃的话，你就会用声音和泪水来抗议。

看到你水汪汪的眼睛，我们都心软了。

八个多月大的你一兴奋就手舞足蹈和喊，很多时候在船上都听到你喊叫的声音。

让爸爸妈妈哭笑不得的另外一件事就是在船上三天，你完全没有大便。

结果到家后，爸爸喂你吃谷类时你马上送了爸爸一份非常非常大的礼物。

真是的。=)

虽然疲惫，不过这次的全家出游总是件让人愉快的事。

爸爸

周日滨海艺术中心（Esplanade）

2010-09-07T00:34:00.000+08:00

璇璇，

难得周日阴天多风，爸爸午后带全家人和你去了滨海艺术中心（Esplanade）散步。

上个星期日炎阳高照时，我们去了滨海湾金沙酒店（Marina Bay Sands Hotel），这次九在酒店对岸那边的河畔漫步。

这几次带你出门，你都是坐在手推车上很好奇地看着周围的风景与人，累了就静静地睡着。

如果爸爸弯下身子逗你，你就会非常开心地笑。

还有你就是喜欢把手放进嘴巴内吸吮；对于你来说，一边观看风景一边吃手是件非常开心悠闲的事情。

周日的滨海艺术中心有很多人，妈妈为了让爸爸专心拍照，所以就负责推你；我们全家人就慢慢地在河畔散步。

风轻轻地吹着，爸爸看着你，感觉你非常享受河畔的风和景。

本来还想带你走去鱼尾狮那里去的，后来看到那里比较多人群，而且如果要到那里的话，还需要下一道楼梯，所以爸爸就决定暂时不去了。

我们这样慢慢地散步，也不知不觉走了一个多钟头。

要离开之前，天空突然飘起很细的雨；幸亏这场雨没有来得早，所以我们才有一个开心悠闲的周日午后和傍晚。

爸爸

周一早上拍照

2010-09-04T14:27:00.000+08:00

璇璇

上个星期天晚上，爸爸陪你睡觉时，你晚上起来喝奶两次：凌晨两点半和早上五点三刻。

你早上喝完奶后也是六点多了，虽然爸爸还是觉得有点悃，但是也不想睡了。

就趴在床上陪你玩。

本来躺着的你，后来也趴着了；爸爸看着开始变胖嘟嘟的你，还有睡眼惺忪看起来特别可爱的你，就和你说话和逗你笑。

刚睡醒的你心情总是特别好，给了爸爸一朵又一朵的微笑。

妈妈看到星期一早晨不去忙着准备出门上班，反而忙着帮女儿拍照，就问爸爸是不是不想上班了。

班还是要上的，拍照还是要帮你拍的，谁叫你一直对着爸爸笑呢。=）

爸爸

吃手

2010-09-02T22:05:00.001+08:00

璇璇，

你应该是两个多月前开始把手放进嘴里的，那时爸爸妈妈只要稍微用力就可以把你的手拉开。

把你的手拉开后，你很少会继续再把手放进嘴里面的。

但是最近稍微长大的你比较有力了，爸爸需要用比较大的力气才能把你的手从嘴里拉出来。

最近你“吃手”的次数也变得比较频密，早上睡醒后吃，和你玩到开心时吃，一个人静静躺着时吃；晚上爸爸陪你睡觉时如果突然间听到身边出现吸吮手的声音时，就意味着你已经睡醒一阵子了。

你吃手的样子弄到爸爸觉得非常好笑，因为大部分时候你都是直接把整个拳头塞进去嘴巴的，而且当你吃到第一口自己的手时，突然间会变得超兴奋，头会很起劲地摇动着。

一种急不及待的样子。

对于爸爸妈妈来说，我们最担心的还是你是否会把很多微生物细菌之类的东西往嘴里放。

这阵子手足口症似乎特别地猖獗，所以特别紧张的爸爸妈妈都会努力地帮你抹手。

你吃手吃得越兴奋，爸爸妈妈也变成越来越神经质了。=）

爸爸

剪指甲

2010-09-02T00:39:00.001+08:00

璇璇，

你的指甲似乎张得特别地快，每次刚刚帮你剪了后不到几天，指甲又变长了。

而且你最近喜欢把手伸进口里面，拼命地吃个不停；再加上睡觉时偶尔你的手会挣脱手套，所以为了怕弄伤你，妈妈几乎每个周末你在家时不我都会帮你剪指甲。

如果周末忘记剪的话，过了一俩天后指甲就会越来越长，长到那种爸爸看了也觉得恐怖的那种长度。

剪指甲这样需要细心和耐心的工作通常是由妈妈来进行的，爸爸很难想象如果由笨手笨脚的爸爸来剪的话，会出现什么样的恐怖后果。

爸爸考完试后周末在家变得无所事事，所以那天周末妈妈帮你剪指甲的时候，爸爸就帮你拍照。

像往常一样，妈妈帮你剪指甲时，你很静静地专心地看着妈妈的手和剪指甲刀。

但是爸爸拿着相机一出现后，你就分心了，本来专心看着妈妈和你的手的你，会不时抬头看爸爸到底在做什么。

坏坏的爸爸就帮你拍了几张照片作纪念。=）

爸爸

周末小聚

2010-08-30T00:37:00.001+08:00

璇璇，

周末是你第一次到伯伯家，爸爸带你去的主要目的是拜访禹昕堂姐，而且姐姐也一直吵着要爸爸带她去找禹恒堂哥玩。

禹昕堂姐一看到你，居然哭了，当时妈妈抱着你让你靠近她，没想到堂姐被吓哭了。

这也难怪，毕竟堂姐第一次和你见面，难免有点生疏；不过过了几分钟后，堂姐就很开心地和你眯眼笑了。

让我们手忙脚乱的是姐姐恩恩一听到禹昕堂姐哭，也跟着哭了起来，祖母必须安慰了她好一阵子后她才停止哭。

禹恒堂哥呢还是和平常一样活泼爱玩，和爸爸天南地北地聊个没完没了。

三岁多的堂哥主要是跟爸爸说他多凶，怎样地教训坏人。

堂哥的数学也是越来越棒了，爸爸问了他几道数学题，他想想了一下后回答，全都答对了。

在伯伯家的你也是兴奋到手舞足蹈，有几次还兴奋到忘我地大声好。

嗯，小女孩什么形象都没有了哦。

那是个快乐的周末小聚会，爸爸有时间的话再带你来拜访堂哥堂姐们吧。

爸爸

领了L牌驾照

2010-08-22T13:03:00.001+08:00

璇璇，

你在两个月内长高了15公分，妈妈昨天把家里的学步车调整到适合你的高度，然后抱了你坐上去。

平常在家时候的大部分时间我们都让你自己躺着，很少抱你；所以你坐上学步车后，可以感觉到你对于学步车感到很有兴趣。

你试图移动着你的脚，你每移动一次，学步车就往后移动一点点。

学步车一移动一点点，你就开心地笑。

虽然学步车已经调整到最低，但是由于你的体型还小，妈妈怕你会撞到学步车前的平台，就在你坐的座位前后都放了枕头。

被枕头包围着的你看起来非常可爱。

刚开始时你还把脸躲在枕头后面，看起来一副犹抱琵琶半遮脸的腼腆模样。

祖父看到你第一天坐学步车，说你刚领了L牌驾照，不久后就可以驾车了。

看着你坐在学步车开心的样子，全家人也都让你逗得非常开心。=）

爸爸

64.5公分，7.1公斤

2010-08-20T00:51:00.001+08:00

璇璇，

星期一时候是你看医生复诊的日子，妈妈请了一天假；那天外公负责载外婆、妈妈、姐姐和你来医院。

你在爸爸工作的医院出生，所以复诊也是在同样地方，爸爸也因此有机会过来看你。

目前你还是属于比较文静的小宝宝，但是每次看医生时你都会非常开心。

爸爸妈妈和姐姐陪你进去看医生何教授伯伯时，你还是像上次一样对着他笑。

何教授伯伯说你这次长得很快；他先让你躺下来，你一躺下就马上转过身趴着；接着何伯伯抱你让你坐着，虽然你可以坐，但是身体还是软绵绵地趴向前。

何伯伯帮你做检查时，你嘴巴尖尖的，一副非常好奇对于一切感到很新鲜的模样。

检查完后，就是打预防针；上一次差不多两个月前打针的时候，你只是在针刺进你大腿时喊喊一下就没事了。

这一次第一针打下去时，你喊了几声，爸爸想你现在比较大了，应该可以比较清楚痛的感觉了吧。

第二针打进大腿时，你也是喊了几声，爸爸很努力地和你玩试图转移你的注意力，幸好你只是发出抗议的声言几声后就没事了。

妈妈抱你起来时，你又开始手舞足蹈了。

对，你是个开心的宝宝。

那天你又长高和胖了:64.5公分，7.1公斤。

原来比上次高了差不多整整15公分，难怪爸爸最近抱你时总是觉得怎么感觉手中的女儿高了许多呢？

看到你这么开心健康地长大，爸爸妈妈当然是觉得开心，觉得一切的辛苦都是值得的。

尤其是妈妈，这阵子照顾你到几乎体力透支了。

下一次回来应该是九个月后了，到时候你已经是一岁多了。

当然爸爸到时候更老了。=）

爸爸

溶化的感觉

2010-08-14T19:15:00.000+08:00

璇璇，

你在家的时候，爸爸最喜欢你早上起身后走进房里面看你时的样子。

你醒来的时候，总是静静地自己玩，所谓“玩”就是紧握着拳头然后一直盯着拳头看。

最近你爱上了双手握着自己的脚，然后看着窗口或天花板。

今早爸爸醒来后走进房间时，你双手握着脚，正盯着妈妈看。

如往常一样，你一看到爸爸，就笑得非常灿烂。

爸爸像看到朵朵美丽的花在你脸上绽放一样。

每次一看到你灿烂的笑，爸爸总是有那种整颗心已经被溶化掉的感觉。

原来那种感觉是这样的。

所以每次你在家的时候，爸爸早上出门去工作时心情总是会特别地好。=）

爸爸

出游

2010-08-10T01:09:00.003+08:00

璇璇，

爸爸刚从房间走出来，从环球影城回来后的你累得睡到很沉很沉。

平常在家时，下午时你都会睡至少四五个钟头；昨天在外面玩得特别开心，连睡觉也几乎忘记了。

昨天是你五个月又一天大，也是爸爸妈妈第一次带你出门玩。

你出世后大部分时间不是在家里，就是在外婆家，爸爸妈妈很少带你出门走走的。

爸爸妈妈看到你今天玩得这么开心，就说你终于发现原来外面的世界是这么精彩的。=）

你在乐园里，到了睡觉时间时也是精神弈弈地看着身边的东西，爸爸妈妈跟你讲话时你就一直笑一直笑。

今天的天气非常炎热，爸爸妈妈必须努力确保你没有太热，再加上也要照顾姐姐，所以大部分时间我们都是处于手忙脚乱的状况中。

乐园里大部分景点都没有真正地去探索，很多主题景点只是蜻蜓点水似地走走看看。

但是看到你们俩个在乐园里这么开心，爸爸妈妈就算是多乱多累，就算是很多景点也没看到，也觉得没关系了。

热天气再加上户外，你整个脸看起来红彤彤的，特别地可爱。

妈妈跟你说话时，一摸你的鼻尖和嘴唇，你就咯咯咯咯地笑个不停。

妈妈躲在手推车遮蓬后来，然后突然伸出头来跟你打招呼时，你更是笑个不停。

妈妈说原来小宝贝这么爱玩。

爸爸现在只希望一下子玩得这么兴奋的你别像以前的姐姐这样当晚做恶梦就行了。

爸爸妈妈期待下次再带你出游的日子。=）

爸爸

哭哭

2010-08-08T13:02:00.001+08:00

璇璇，

星期五晚上妈妈带姐姐回房睡觉时，爸爸还在客厅喂你喝奶。

然后爸爸听到你放屁的声音，放屁后你收了几天的大便就出来了。

你大便后还剩差不多10cc的奶水也没有心情喝了。

爸爸看到你尿片里的大便很多，就抱了你去厕所，想帮你洗屁股。

你尿片里的大便果然非常多，爸爸扶好你后就打开花洒帮你洗。

那里知道花洒的温水一碰到你的屁股，你就扁起嘴，哭了起来。

但是你的屁股还有很多大便，爸爸就继续帮你洗；但是被吓到的你依然继续哭。

你的哭声越来越大，连在房间陪姐姐睡觉的妈妈也听到了。

结果妈妈出来，爸爸妈妈俩人合作才把你屁股洗干净。

帮你换好衣服和尿片后，受了惊吓的你还是继续扁嘴。

那时已经是到了睡觉时间的你，还是不时地哭。

爸爸看了非常心疼，就把你抱在怀里，轻轻拍你，一直到你睡着为止。

后来你终于在爸爸怀抱里睡着了，但是爸爸一放你在床上，你又哭了。

爸爸就把手轻放在你肩膀，然后一边哼歌一边轻轻拍你。

然后你才慢慢地睡着了。

那一晚你睡得很不安稳，不时会扭动着身子发出害怕的声言；平常的你总是会睡得很安稳很沉的。

每次帮你洗屁股都是需要俩人的，但是这次因为爸爸这次不想吵到妈妈才没有叫妈妈来帮忙，结果爸爸帮你洗屁股时抱你不好，让你受了惊吓。

爸爸一整晚想到这就非常内疚。

爸爸

My sweet girl :)

2010-08-01T13:42:00.000+08:00

Precious baby..

I don't know if its a bit too early to say so... but to this point in time, mummy really feels that you are a fantastic lil' girl! =)

Since birth, darling has been a well behaved girl.. When you were younger, you'd sleep for hours right after a feed without stirring.. until it was time for the next feed. Day or night, it didn't matter..

And when you became a little older, your awake hours gradually increased.. But thank goodness, most of the time you will be satisfied lying in your rocking chair and playing with your hands.. Or looking at the animal prints on the side of the bedding..

But what really helped daddy, mummy, 外公&外婆the most was that darling has been able to sleep pretty much through the night these days! =) Darling would usually have your last feed at about 8 or 9 pm.. then you'll Zzzzz..... till about 5-6 am before you wake for another feed.. And to be able have 5-6 hours of uninterrupted sleep is definitely a big big bonus for us!=) Not to mention that you never fail to flash us a superrrr sweeeet smile whenever you wake up from your naps, making our day... Totally melts all our hearts.. :)

Not only that, right after your feed, all we need to do is to lie you down, wrap you up snugly and darling would doze off on your own... No need to hold you in our arms to pat or rock you to sleep.. Sounds simple enough yar?? But you have no idea how much mummy appreciates this!! Cos things were never so easy with your sister.. With her, mummy always run the risk of having her being wide awake after feeding her... in the middle of the night!! And your sister didn't quite sleep through the night till she was a bit older.. So that basically translates to feed her, play, rock her to sleep... and soon time to feed again! :S

(We always wonder if her being active at night has to do with her being born in the wee hours of 1+am! Hahaa... )

Of course, darling has your lil' tigress moments too!! Usually darling will doze off once your're tired.. But no thanks to your sister who's always so loud and trying to 'entertain' you when you don't need it, you always end up drifting in and out of sleep.. And after a while, darling will become angry and cranky and start 'roar-ing' away.. Daddy and mummy will then have to 'read' a bedtime story to you or sing to you to get you to calm down and drift off to lala land... Oh, i should mention that you are extremely PARTIAL to daddy's voice! Just yesterday, you were in 1 of your moods and the moment you heard daddy's voice, you stopped your roars and kept turning your head trying to search for your favourite man.. =)

"Time and tide waits for no man" - indeed that is true.. My precious baby is alreay 4 months old! Every now and then, mummy will still reminisce about those early days of your life.. our few months together.. Before I know it, my baby's gonna be all grown up..

Precious Chloe, thank you for being who you are.. thank you for being such a lovely girl... and thank you for being daddy and mummy's lil' gem.. =)

Love,
Mummy

翻身了

2010-07-28T01:31:00.001+08:00

璇璇，

星期一晚上，爸爸妈妈过去外婆家时，外公跟爸爸妈妈说你学会翻身了。

已经很多个星期了，在外婆家也好，在我们家也好，你躺着的时候如果听到背后有声音，就会转过头去看。

你转头时连带着你的身体也一起转到一边，爸爸妈妈那时候想你也差不多该翻身了吧。

爸爸妈妈有想过要让你趴在我们身上感觉趴着的滋味，但是上个月妈妈病倒后就轮到爸爸病倒，爸爸甚至到现在都还在咳嗽着。

由于担心还把病菌传给你，这几个星期爸爸妈妈和你接触时都是非常小心翼翼的。

上个星期，on-call的缘故，从医院回到家后，爸爸还要开始工作的下半场。

但是周末时候，爸爸觉得无论怎样都要让你趴在爸爸身上感受爸爸的体温了。

你趴着时，爸爸就看着你和你说话，你呢就把头抬起来，看着爸爸，然后对着爸爸笑。

后来爸爸抱你起来时，你居然发出抗议的声音；再放你趴着时，你趴在爸爸的身上，看着爸爸，又笑了。

爸爸当时想小宝贝已经开始喜欢上趴着看东西的姿势和感觉了。

外公说虽然你已经开始翻身了，但是还是不能把两只手都拿到胸口前垫着身体，你的一只手还是会被身体压着。

但是这些事情慢慢就会学会了，这属于你“历史性”的一刻，爸爸无论怎么忙都是要帮你给记录下来的。=）

爸爸

爸爸的情人

2010-07-24T22:55:00.000+08:00

璇璇，

无论是在外婆家或家里，你总喜欢盯着爸爸看，每次你一听到爸爸的声音或者是爸爸一出现在你的视线之内，你一定转过头来看爸爸。

而且你每次看着爸爸时，都是眼睛眨也不眨，属于很仔细的端详那种注视。

你看爸爸的时候，爸爸总是感觉自己是好像是给情人看着一样；每次你“深情”地看着爸爸时，爸爸似乎觉得心坎深处的秘密都给你看到完了。

怎么你看爸爸眼神这么深邃？

爸爸今天身子有点不适，所以睡得比较迟；醒来后走进房间，妈妈刚要让你睡觉，你一看到爸爸就笑得很甜，然后就像往常一样一直注视着爸爸。

爸爸给你看到有点不好意思起来，就开口和你说话，爸爸一出声，你又再很甜很甜地笑了起来。

妈妈看了就说你前世一定是爸爸的情人，不然不会看爸爸看到这样深情的。

晚餐后爸爸斜躺着抱着你，让你趴在爸爸身上，你这位爸爸的小情人就一直抬起头盯着爸爸看。

爸爸轻声和你说话或对你吹口哨，得到的是你很甜很甜的微笑。

看来真的像是妈妈所说的，你确实是爸爸前世的情人。=）

爸爸

肥了

2010-07-21T00:54:00.001+08:00

璇璇，

你两三个星期，爸爸妈妈突然间发现你开始肥了。

粗粗的大腿看起来很像螃蟹的脚，喂奶时让你躺在爸爸的臂弯时发现怎么突然间手臂感觉到的重量增加了。

虽然妈妈怀你的时候肚子看起来比怀姐姐时大，但是你出世时体重却比姐姐轻了许多。

而那时你刚出世的首两个月，要喂你喝奶是件非常充满挑战的事。

因为你的消化不好，常常奶喝到不到一半就放声大哭；爸爸妈妈必须减少你奶水的份量，一直到你不会胀风为止。

由于奶喝得少，你体型也是比较娇小，体重也比较轻。

一直到三个月大时，你的胃口才开始越来越好，我们也慢慢增加你奶水的份量。

上个月看了医生后就没有帮你量体重，看看这个周末帮你量体重时你会重了多少。

爸爸跟妈妈说开始变胖的你抱起来感觉真棒。＝）

看来爸爸的确有点不大对劲。＝）

爸爸

璇璇在家的时候

2010-07-18T13:26:00.001+08:00

璇璇，

多数时候，一个星期当中你只有周五到周日三个晚上会在家；周一到周四爸爸妈妈和你见面的时间只是过去外婆家带姐姐回来的那段时间。

这几天外公外婆有事情忙，所以周二到今天连续几个晚上爸爸妈妈都带你和姐姐回家。

你在家的时候，爸爸总是情不自禁地花比较多的时间陪你，陪你说话，喂你喝奶。

晚上时候妈妈陪姐姐睡，爸爸就陪你。

比起刚出世的你晚上必须每三个钟头就喝奶，现在晚上九点多喝完奶后你可以维持到清晨四五点了。

虽然如此，陪你睡觉时爸爸还是不敢像平时一样睡得太熟，你一稍微有动静，爸爸就会起来看你，照顾你时总是必须非常小心翼翼。

你在家时，爸爸陪姐姐的时间少了，姐姐偶尔会吃醋，爸爸拿平常姐姐不读的书给你看时，姐姐也突然间要读了。

爸爸帮你拍照时，姐姐总是要挤进镜头要爸爸也拍她。

虽然在家，但是家里很少听到你的声言，客厅里只有姐姐的声音，你喜欢静静地躺着一直看你的手，看着看着就把手放进嘴里。

爸爸跟你说话时，你总是笑得眼睛眯眯的，然后也开始跟爸爸ang gu gu。

有时爸爸跟你聊着聊着，躺到闷了的你会要爸爸抱，那时的你就会皱眉，声音也会开始出现一种类似抗议的音调。

爸爸喜欢看爸爸抱你起来的那一刻，你笑得非常开心的样子。

你总是弄得爸爸心里很甜很甜。

爸爸

妈妈回去工作了

2010-06-30T13:25:00.000+08:00

璇璇，

妈妈星期一已经渡完十六个星期的产假回去工作了，这意味着爸爸妈妈不能像过去的十六个星期一样有较长的时间陪你了。

妈妈生姐姐的时候，产假只有十二个星期，而且上次姐姐有祖母及外公外婆的照顾，所以相比之下这次和你相处的时间会比较长。

过去的四个月，爸爸一下班回来用完晚餐后不久，就要让准备考试的妈妈去休息，然后兼顾起做"奶爸"的责任。妈妈会睡到凌晨三点起床，然后爸爸会等妈妈准备好一切后，清晨四点多才睡觉（有几次甚至到五六点）。

那时候晚上九点多十点要喂你喝一次奶，然后凌晨一两点再喂你喝一次；喂完奶后就是帮你拍背换尿片清理大小便抹身体，爸爸每次那时候就会把你当成三四岁的小孩子一样和你说话聊天。

那时你刚一个月大的时候，只懂得两只眼睛睁大大地看着爸爸；一个多月大后，你开始对着爸爸微笑了。七个星期大时，你开始也跟爸爸说起话来了。

长夜漫漫，有你陪着爸爸说话的日子是不寂寞的。

两个多月大后，你越来越多话，睡醒的时候，不是对着天花板或窗帘说话；就是跟摆在你枕头左右两边的玩具熊说话。

爸爸常常跟妈妈讲璇璇是比较懂事和温柔的，睡醒后不会大声地哭或吵，只是会自言自语，一直到我们发现你原来已经起床了为止。

这几天回到家后看着空荡荡的房间，想你的感觉是特别地强烈。爸爸妈妈俩人隔天都要工作，所以晚上只能带你或姐姐回家，而且这几天爸爸都在病着发烧，只能选择带姐姐回家，你呢晚上必须让外公外婆帮忙照顾你。

妈妈回去工作了，不知道为什么爸爸特别想念你每次看到爸爸时绽露的微笑。

爸爸

Counting down..

2010-06-25T15:00:00.003+08:00

Precious Chloe,

Very soon, mummy will have to return to work.. =( These 16 weeks seemed to have gone by faster than the 12 weeks I had with your sister.. How I wish we could have more time together.. Mummy is absolutely hating the counting down... 2 more days only =( To top it off, mummy had to fall sick this week.. Sigh..

The past 16 weeks had been so fulfilling with you by mummy's side.. This maternity leave is very much different from mummy's previous.. Even though this time round mummy was pretty much on my own most of the time, everything seemed so much more manageable than my 1st ML.. =) Maybe experience helped a little.. But to be fair to you, mummy really feels that darling's fantastic behavior deserves the most praise! :)

Mummy will miss our times together when I head back to the office.. Miss our mother-daughter 'chats'.. miss how you always look affectionately at mummy when feeding you.. miss playing with you.. miss your hugs.. miss everything about you..

Precious darling, mummy's so glad to have you in my life... Mummy loves you..

Love,
Mummy

Jabs.. again!

2010-06-25T14:00:00.002+08:00

Dearest Chloe,

On Monday, we brought you to the hospital for your check up and vaccination again.. At 16 weeks old, darling was 60cm tall and weighed 5.8kg.. Well, frankly, mummy felt you were pretty much on the lighter side.. Also, you didn't seem to have put on much weight since your last visit to the hospital at 6 weeks old..

When it was our turn to see Prof Ho, the moment daddy sat down with you in his arms facing Prof Ho, darling gave Prof Ho a super sweet smile.. =) Aww... Darling, if you had thought that the smile might have spared you the jabs, you thought wrongly then.. ;p

Anyway, after a series of physical examinations, measurement of head circumference, testing of motor skills, neck strength, Prof Ho seemed to think that you are progressing remarkably well.. Well, I guess if darling's healthy and happy, mummy shan't be too obsessed with making sure you become as chubby as your sister when she was your age.. =)

After the consultation, we headed to the treatment room for your 2 jabs.. Again, mummy must mention that we are so proud of you! *1st jab* Darling was pretty much oblivious to what the SN was doing to you.. And daddy proved to be a very good distraction! =) But 2nd jab.. We weren't so lucky.. Nope, darling didn't cry... But darling decided to give us all a lecture! If I could add words to your baby language, it'll probably be "Yes, I tolerated it the 1st time.. But it doesn't mean I'm giving you people permission to do this again to me a 2nd time!!@#$*&... *angry scowl*"... Hahaa.. But the moment daddy picked you up from the bed, you were all quiet again. :)

Thank goodness, your temperature didn't went up that high.. In fact, mummy's fever went higher and outlasted yours!

Precious lil' darling, continue to stay strong and healthy yar?? =)

Love,
Mummy

Check-up..

2010-04-19T21:32:00.006+08:00

Dearest Chloe,

Happy 6 weeks old! =)

Today is darling's first visit back to the hospital since your discharge.. It's just a routine check plus to get your vaccination.. :) But mummy, 外公,外婆 and your sister were all with you to give you moral support!!:) Daddy had to attend a course today and so couldn't make it down to be with you..

Okay, some updates on darling's progress... At 6 weeks old, darling 'stands' at 53.5cm and weights 4.58kg! Yes, finally some signs that the milk is doing its job! Though you still look so slim to mummy.. :)

During the check up, mummy took the chance to ask Prof Ho regarding your 1x/wk poo.. Mummy was expecting him to be appalled at that revelation and be shaking his head in disapproval.. But I almost fell off the chair when he said that's NORMAL!

Well, basically Prof Ho said every lil' angel is different.. Some poo after every feed (reminds mummy of Aunty Kat's description of Jude 弟弟.. hee..), while others will be like darling.. poo-ing so infrequently.. But, he said, as long as darling is eating well (which certainly is the case!) and the stools are not hard (..this too..), there's no real cause for concern.. He also advised us against giving you medication for that.. (Oops.. I didnt mention lactulose.. But he sure knows what goes on in the minds of paranoid parents!) Just so that your muscles don't become lazy... Yup, we are supposed to let 'nature take its course' and let your muscles build up and be strong enough to pass out what oughta come out.. So don't be lazy huh, lil' muscles! :)

After the check-up, mummy brought darling to the treatment room for your 6-in-1 jab.. Well, it wasn't nearly as traumatic (for mummy) as when mummy 1st brought your sister for the jab.. Cos darling seems to have a pretty high threshold for pain.. You merely cried a few seconds.. then pout your signature pout.. and went back to sleep.. =) [To justify my claims, mummy should mention that when daddy and mummy brought you for your jaundice check when you were merely about a week old, you didn't cry.. not even wince in your sleep when the lab technician poked your lil' foot to draw blood for the test!]

Right now, darling is sleeping peacefully... with a huge cool pad on your small forehead.. (I wonder if it's cos this brand's cool pad is bigger or darling is just so tiny..) A low-grade fever coming on...

Precious lil' one, sleep tight and stay cool yar.. Sweet dreams..

Love,
Mummy

Happy one-month old!

2010-04-08T23:58:00.002+08:00

Precious Chloe,

Happy one-month old!:)

Mummy can't quite believe it's been a month since your hatch day.. Or rather, it feels as if we've been together for much longer! Wonder why.. Because you and I go way back to the time when you were still growing within mummy?? Or because days have been much longer since your arrival (i.e. mummy's awake time)? :)

For the past one month, daddy and mummy have been diligently trying to catch all your habits.. learn your language (yes, that equates to deciphering the different types of cries) and make adjustments to our lives, just so that we can take better care of you..

Well, I must say that darling has been performing quite well so far.. The 1st hurdle to cross during your 1st week of life was jaundice.. That didn't give us much problem.. It took all but 2 visits to set our mind at ease that your levels were on a downward trend.. And even at your highest, it was nowhere near your sister's level at the beginning of her creep! Thank goodness for that! :)

Subsequently, darling didn't give us too much problem too.. Well, at least not yet! No problems with diaper rash, milk rash, heat rash so far.. Mummy and daddy would love to think that it was with experience from looking after your sister that helped us take better care of you this round.. (Yes, unfortunately, your sister had all those problems that mummy mentioned above..) Either that, or you are blessed with good skin.. :) It is actually quite a miracle that you don't have any outbreaks on your face yet.. Judging from the way and frequency that your sister plants kisses on you.. Or maybe you should thank her - think swallow's saliva vs jie jie's saliva - Who needs bird's nest these days?! Haa.. As for heat rash, or the lack of, mummy suspects that it's cos darling is on the slender side.. and so not so prone to sweating?? (Yes, again as opposed to your chubby sister who is perpetually feeling warm and sweaty...);) Daddy also noticed how mummy needed both the fan and aircon at full blast while expecting your sister but not for you.. Haa..

Whatever the reasons are, stay this way yar?? For both our good... =)

So far, the only problem we have with you is your bowel habit!! Darling poos only 1x/3-4 days!! Just imagine that.. 3-4 days worth passed out in one shot... Can you picture the 'mountain of gold'?? :p Granted, we get to save diapers, wipes.. But by day 2 of 'no-poo', darling would usually show some signs of crankiness.. fidgeting and squirming when drinking milk.. episodes of crying out of the blue.. And it usually gets worse with each no-poo day.. Sigh.. Darling just 'celebrated' your full month by breaking your record.. 4th day with no poo despite lactulose! Right, what next? Suppositories??

Another thing that puzzles mummy.. Darling is drinking 110ml every 3-4 hourly.. Everyone is telling us it's too much for your own good.. But when darling doesn't have enough, you'll get angry.. Suckling right up to the last drop.. And when mummy pulls out the bottle to avoid your sucking in air, your signature pitiful face will appear (mummy is really quite amazed at how you can curve your lips downwards so adorably!), followed by cries of displeasure.. Sigh.. We have no choice but to pacify you with what else but the pacifier! (Cos daddy and mummy have been seriously warned against feeding you too much!)

Mummy hates giving you pacifier cos your pacifier sucking skills ain't that good, really.. suckle suckle, drop out, cry... put back, suckle suckle, drop again, cry.. so basically mummy has to park myself next to you and hold it in place for you.. And that can sometimes go on till its time for the next feed!! Usually, mummy would be happy if you slept past your feeding time.. But on occasions like this, 'Thank god it's feeding time!!' Mummy can officially feed you without breaking 'rules' and darling would then drift off to sleep... Either from satisfaction or the lack of sleep for the past few hours.. Phew... Small but frequent meals aren't your style huh??

Okay, realized I've drifted off topic.. What puzzles mummy is that despite drinking 'too much' for your size and age.. darling still seem to be so puny?! Where has all the milk gone to?? Or are you one of those blessed with 'never-grow-fat' genes?? Well, whatever the case is, continue to stay healthy yar? =)

Lil' sweetheart, hope you are loving life as a lil' earthling.. and more so because you are Our lil' earthling :)

Lots of love,
mummy

两个星期

2010-03-25T13:00:00.001+08:00

璇璇，

不知不觉中你已经两个星期大了，虽然爸爸妈妈每天非常努力地服饰你，定时让你喝奶，但是你看起来还是很小。

爸爸妈妈一直把你和当时的姐姐比较，现在的你身材看起来是那么地“娇小”，身体也是瘦瘦的。

这两个星期除了这两天还没有大便之外，你的状况还是让爸爸妈妈满意的；爸爸妈妈不必像当初一样带姐姐去看医生以及担心。

为了照顾你，爸爸妈妈也睡得少了，一天很少超过五个钟头；爸爸星期一晚上甚至将近早上六点才睡觉，睡了一个钟头多后又从床上爬起来去医院了。

对了，你有一个非常疼你的姐姐，姐姐周五到礼拜天在家时，总是不停地走进房间要吻你疼你抱你。

反而是爸爸妈妈过度担心，怕姐姐的过度热情会弄伤了你，所以不停地阻止她。

姐姐跟爸爸妈妈说，她的玩具要和你share share喔。

这几天你对周围的环境越来越好奇，妈妈喂你喝奶时，爸爸站在旁边和你说话，你总是会盯着爸爸看，然后爸爸走到那里你的眼神就会跟到那里。

喝完奶后爸爸妈妈跟你说话时，你偶尔还会对我们微笑，然后嘴巴尖尖的，似乎有很多话要跟爸爸妈妈说。

接下来的日子，爸爸妈妈唯一的希望就是你能健康健康和快快乐乐地长大。

噢，下个星期一你就三个星期大了。

爸爸

Lovely sister :)

2010-03-15T22:21:00.004+08:00

Dearest Chloe,

Below is a blog post which mummy had written for your sister, Raeanne.. Mummy has decided to post it on your blog too cos mummy wants you to know how much your sister loves you, even though she's just a 20 months old lil' girl.. :)

Precious sweetheart,

It's been exactly a week since the birth of your lil' sister, Chloe.. And I must say, you have been a very sweet sister! :)

Darling's 1st encounter with Chloe was through Skype.. Mummy was still in hospital then.. and your sister was just a day old when you 2 met.. That wasn't how we planned to let you 2 meet for the 1st time though.. But daddy and mummy missed you.. and we thought we could also let your 外公,外婆 and 阿姨s meet lil' Chloe since they couldn't come to the hospital to visit mummy cos they had to take care of you..

But things didn't go too well that day.. Darling was not your usual self that evening.. You were exceptionally quiet when we introduced lil' Chloe to you.. Normally when we talked to you about your lil' sister, you'd either display affection by kissing mummy's tummy or you'd raise your hand as though you want to hit her when you are in a bad mood..

You were neither that evening.. Darling was so listless and just stared at the computer quietly.. Daddy and mummy got so worried after that.. We were worried that darling was feeling hurt and sad.. Mummy's heart ached to see darling like that..

So mummy was really looking forward to seeing you the next day when mummy and Chloe could be discharged.. 外公 and 外婆 brought you back home.. Thank goodness, darling was back to your usual cheerful self and even requested repeatedly that you want to see your lil' sister.. And not just that, darling would always stretch out your hands and attempt to hug and kiss your sister.. :)

That was such a moving and beautiful sight.. :)

Daddy and mummy also finally presented you with the big carebear that we've been saving for this day! (Took mummy lots of effort to refrain from giving it to you before your sister was born!) And its meant to be a gift from your sister to you.. Well, this was supposed to reduce jealousy, if any was actually brewing within you..

But by the looks of it, we had worried needlessly.. On friday, after daddy and mummy brought lil' Chloe for jaundice check, we dropped by to see darling.. And darling was so happy to see us too.. Especially your lil' sister.. Darling's love for your sister was so overwhelming that we had to try and restrain you! Cos you kept attempting to hug your sister and carry her away from mummy.. Pat her all over and kissing her.. Offering her your fav yakult... and placing your fav handphone to her face asking lil' Chloe to 'Hello'! :) That really amused all of us.. Cos darling used to place your handphone to mummy's tummy asking your sister to say 'Hello'..

Precious lil' sweetheart, you've been an exceptionally big-hearted and loving sister.. and daddy and mummy are so touched by your love for your sister.. :) Sweetheart, daddy and mummy are really proud of you!:)
Love,
Mummy

第三天

2010-03-11T22:28:00.001+08:00

璇璇，

下午爸爸在医院工作时，妈妈发了一则短讯给爸爸，说你喝了奶后静静地看着墙上的动物壁纸，那种表情非常可爱。

爸爸可以想象到你看壁纸的那种表情，因为这三天你睡醒喝完奶后总是东看看西看看，看到令你好奇的东西时，你就盯着那东西一直看。

有时会盯着爸爸看，有时盯着妈妈；爸爸猜想你心里面一定在想着：哎，这是什么东西啊，怎么一直对着我发出声音？

昨天出院之前护士阿姨帮你量了体重，你轻了一百克；回到家妈妈帮你码身子时，爸爸发觉你好小好小哦，小到令人感觉要好好地保护你照顾你的那种。

回到家后，爸爸对着你说了算许多莫名其妙的话，弄到妈妈在一旁笑，其中一个莫名其妙的问题就是爸爸问你，你几时要叫我爸爸啊。

家里有了你和姐姐两位两个小宝贝后，爸爸无论是去到那里，心里都是觉得甜丝丝的。=）

爸爸

回家咯

2010-03-11T00:28:00.001+08:00

璇璇，

今天最高兴的事情就是妈妈和你都可以出院了！

以前你姐姐恩恩刚出世的时候，健康状况不佳，结果妈妈也决定不出院，陪着姐姐在医院度过了接近一个星期。

这次从妈妈怀你到生下你为止，爸爸一直都在担心你身体的状况，幸好今早医生帮你做了全身检验后，说除了盘骨与大腿之间的关节连接有点松之外，其他都是正常。

这意味着你今天可以和妈妈一起出院了！

能回家毕竟是件让人非常开心和兴奋的事情，尤其是折腾了一段日子后。

今早下了一阵雨，耽误了一点回家的时间，不过总算在下午一点我们到家了。

我们到家后不到十分钟，祖父刚好过来了；大约十五分钟后，外公外婆带姐姐恩恩过来了。

姐姐恩恩一直要爸爸抱着你看正在熟睡的你，她还一直不停地俯下身子来吻你，还跟爸爸说她要抱你。爸爸看了后心里甜甜的。

后来祖父外公外婆姐姐，家里只剩下我们三个人，爸爸妈妈努力地观察你的生活习惯，希望在接下来的日子也能让你健康开心地过日子。

晚上爸爸接了祖母以及你的表哥弈泽过来，接下来的日子就由祖母和妈妈来轮流照顾你了，当然爸爸也会努力地照顾你的。

家里多了你后，可以预期到以后家里会越来越热闹了。

好开心哦。=）

爸爸

Precious Chloe's Birth-Day! =)

2010-03-10T10:04:00.008+08:00

Precious Chloe,

Finally we meet.. :)

Ultimately, you still chose your own birthday.. 8th Mar 2010 :)

Mummy was supposed to admit into hospital to induce your birth on your EDD, which happened to be 8th Mar.. However, when Dr Tan did a check for mummy that morning at 10am, mummy was already 3cm dilated.. Dr Tan said mummy was already in early labor and so there's no need to induce birth! :)

Excellent! Just what I wanted to hear! Though I didn't really expect to have such luck since mummy was still pukey as usual that morning and did not have the slightest bit of contraction pain nor any signs of going into labor like leaking of amniotic fluid or bleeding..

Anyway, we then proceeded to the labor ward. Once in the room, about 4 nurses started fussing over mummy.. getting mummy changed.. settling mummy comfortably.. asking mummy lots of questions... signing lots of documents..

In retrospect, mummy really wondered how did I manage all these the last time mummy was in labor.. All I can remember of that 1st labor experience was pain, pain and more pain.. Of cos, there were lots signing too.. But mummy was in so much pain then that mummy's ears could no longer register what everyone was mumbling around me.. so mummy just signed blindly.. Anyway, that's what happened when mummy was about to deliver your sister.. :)

Once settled down, at about 1130am, a lady MO came to break mummy's water bag.. That was to expedite your arrival.. But by 230pm, Dr Tan felt that our progress was still a bit slow.. So he started mummy on oxytocin.. (Dr Tan promised mummy that I'll be able to have dinner :) )

That was when mummy started to feel a bit of contraction pain.. Still bearable though.. Mummy could still watch the oscars live! Haha.. By about 3 plus, the pain intensity had increased and mummy had to use the gas mask.. and once mummy started on that, things started to become hazy.. cos it makes mummy drowsy..

By about 430pm, mummy had fully dilated and the pain was now unbearable.. the gas mask was no longer working its magic.. mummy got anxious and breathed in so fast that mummy hyperventilated and muscles went all stiff.. SN Kamsiah had to hold a paperbag for mummy to breathe into.. Daddy helped mummy massage my stiff fingers.. and Dr Tan was telling mummy to "Breathe in.. breathe out.. slowly.. relax"...

And then it was time to push.. i.e. time to let go of the gas mask.. well, doesn't really matter anyway cos it wasn't really helping already.. so daddy offered his hands.. Mummy squeeeeezzzeeddd daddy's poor hand when the pain came on.. But it probably wasn't so bad this time.. cos mummy didn't have anything to eat all day and was beginning to feel weak.. At one point in time, mummy really felt like biting daddy's arms! Haa.. cos mummy didn't have the energy to squeeze daddy's hands.. But daddy's lucky.. mummy still had that bit of sanity left.. so mummy only pressed my forehead against daddy's arms..

Push once... not out..

Push twice... and... :)

8th Mar 2010, 1656h, mummy and daddy's precious lil' gem was born :)

First thing mummy said to daddy was, "Pass me my glasses!" :) Hee.. Cos mummy couldn't wait to see darling... :)

Precious lil' Chloe, welcome to this world...

Welcome to our family.. :)

Daddy, mummy and jie jie love you lots... =)

璇璇，生日快乐

2010-03-08T23:45:00.000+08:00

璇璇，

你毕竟还是足足等到了四十个星期，然后在妈妈怀孕后不久陈叔叔医生计算好的三月八日才跟爸爸妈妈报到。

好准时哦。

两个星期前的星期四妈妈回去复诊时，下体已经开了一公分，上个星期四再回去时也没有什么进展；那时陈叔叔医生问爸爸妈妈要周末还是今天，我们选择了今天。

今早十点检验后，医生说开了三公分，应该今天你就会出来了；看完医生后爸爸陪妈妈进去产房，然后就开始了差不多六个钟头的等待。

护士阿姨先弄破了妈妈的羊水袋，羊水袋被弄破后妈妈开始觉得肚子里开始一阵又一阵的痛。

爸爸非常担心妈妈会像上次生姐姐时经历的惨痛，就一直问妈妈要不要打epidural，妈妈每次的回答总是皱着眉头摇头说不要。

下午两点半，护士开始注射Oxytocin，先是每小时一mL，三点十五分时增加到三mL，然后是六，十二，到最后十五分钟时增加到廿四。

妈妈脸上的表情随着疼痛的程度而越来越扭曲，最后捏着爸爸的手也越来越紧，到了最后廿分钟时痛到呼吸已经非常急促了，吸入过多氧气的结果让妈妈手脚开始抽筋，陈医生叔叔及护士必须拿纸带给妈妈，让妈妈吸近二氧化碳来中和。

而爸爸妈妈的心肝宝贝你也是非常合作，头部也越来越低，医生每次检验妈妈的下体，你的“出口”总是越来越大。从刚进产房的三公分到五公分，然后差不多四点时的七公分，四点廿分的九公分，四点半时完整的十公分。

说到这里，爸爸想到之前三点多时妈妈肚子开始收紧时，你和妈妈一起努力到一半时居然睡着了，弄到护士阿姨必须拿出一种特别的震动器来把你唤醒！后来妈妈住进病房时，爸爸和妈妈说起时，我们都笑了。

最后二十分钟是妈妈最痛的时候了，爸爸非常担心妈妈会捱不过来。

不过勇敢的妈妈还是努力地把你给“挤“出来了，你“冲”出来的时候血溅了满床，爸爸也看到相当分量的血溅到地上。

事前妈妈已经交待好爸爸，你一出来就要帮你进行录影，所以护士阿姨一把你抱起来后爸爸就开始帮你录影，然后拍照。这样很多很多年后，这一刻属于你生命中刚开始的前几分钟就有很美很美的纪录了。

妈妈生下你后，后来吃了几口饭和Milo不久后又吐了出来，这次妈妈怀你四十个星期，可以说除了刚开始的四个星期没吐之外，其余的日子都是在呕吐，连你出来后不久也在吐；不过庆幸的是这一切已经过去了。

刚刚爸爸妈妈带了你进来病房，你和爸爸妈妈度过了快乐的一个多钟头。

而现在爸爸妈妈要等明天医生阿姨帮你进行检验确定一切正常后才能完完全全地放心。

等了这么久，爸爸妈妈总算见到我们的宝贝璇璇了。=）

璇璇，生日快乐。

噢，还有妇女节快乐。=P

爸爸

Finale..

2010-03-06T22:12:00.004+08:00

Hello precious lil' princess,

This is certainly going to be mummy's last entry before we meet... Officially! =)

As usual, mummy's entry is going to go back a few weeks.. Right, let's start from 25th Feb.. We went to see Dr Tan that afternoon.. Darling was then 38 weeks and 4 days old.. And Dr Tan's first question to mummy was, "So when do you want to deliver?" =) Looks like Dr Tan's more anxious than mummy to bring you into this world..

But after a check, we knew that darling wasn't ready to meet us yet.. Cos mummy had all but dilated 1 cm.. and according to Dr Tan, mummy still had lots of 'water'! Darling must be happily enjoying your spa huh?

Well, in order to wait, Dr Tan said we had to ensure that darling was still doing well inside.. So he sent mummy to the labor ward to have a CTG done.. Hmm.. within 30 mins, mummy apparently had 2 contractions.. but mummy totally did not feel it until the nurse told mummy about it.. And darling also decided to 'communicate' with everyone by being super active.. When the nurse saw the chart documenting darling's progress, she went 'Wow, very active baby huh.. Boy or girl?' :)

Anyway, Dr Tan was satisfied that darling was doing well inside mummy and so allowed mummy to go home and 'wait' for darling to be ready to meet us..

Another week passed... 4th Mar, we went to see Dr Tan again.. And this time, Dr Tan asked mummy,'So, fri or sat?' :) Mummy and daddy didn't want to choose your birth day.. We'd rather darling choose your own special day.. Eventually, Dr Tan relented.. because mummy still had a lot of 'water' and that darling seemed to be pretty happy inside still.. But he's giving mummy only up till either 8th or 9th Mar before he's going to induce your birth.. So daddy and mummy chose 8th Mar.. since that's your original EDD...

Daddy says darling is a very good gal... cos darling heard what mummy has been telling you.. 1st, mummy told you not to arrive too early so that mummy will have more time after my exams (due early june) to spend with you before mummy has to head back to work.. Then mummy told you not to arrive before 25th Feb.. cos that's the earliest mummy can go sign up an iphone for daddy... And after that, mummy further requested that you arrive only after 1st mar.. so that mummy will be able to celebrate your sister's birthday with her before mummy goes back to work...

Looks like darling heard mummy's every request and has accomodated every single one of them yar? :) Thank you darling.. You've been a very sweet and understanding lil' girl... But its really time for you to step out of your comfy lil' spa to meet daddy, mummy and your sister.. :)

Well, you've just 1 more chance to choose your birthday... If not, we'll most likely be meeting on the 8th yar?? :)

Looking forward to meet you, precious lil' one.. Seeya!

Love,
mummy

Hello lil' Chloe...

Mummy's finally back to update on your progress... Since the last entry, we've been to see Dr Tan on another 2 occasions. Once on 6th Feb, when you were 35 weeks old... And another time on 20th Feb, when you were 37 weeks old..

Let's start with the 6th Feb visit.. First and foremost, mummy must mention that darling has been such a dear.. Cos you had fully cooperated and turned head down by then! Or was it my threat that worked? :p Anyway, it was a such a total relief for mummy!:) Thanks dearie!

Besides that good news, we were also comforted by the fact that darling seems to be growing well.. Your head was 8.4cm.. Your weight was approximately 2.6kg already.. All sounded pretty good to me.. And of cos, Dr Tan was extremely satisfied with your progress too..

But mummy's relief was pretty short-lived.. Cos after we left the clinic, daddy starting commenting... 3 weeks ago, you were 1.7kg.. That means darling has been gaining like 300g/week.. So assuming darling were to put on weight at the same rate, you'll be like.... 3.5kg by week 38??!! *Faintz*

That kinda wiped the smile off mummy's face for a while.. Cos at 3.16kg, mummy had to try 3x before your sister decided to leave the comfort of mummy's womb.. So I really couldn't imagine you being even bigger than your sister.. Rather, I refuse to imagine that... *Shudders*

But then again, that's all postulation yar?? Maybe that was a mini growth spurt... In any case, better overweight than underweight, i guess.. As long as darling's healthy, that's the most important. :)

Okie, then the most recent visit.. 20th Feb.. This time round, Dr Tan didn't mention your weight.. He only showed us all your various organs.. which mummy couldn't quite see cos the monitor was quite dark that day.. Well, I must admit, I'm rather curious as to how heavy darling is already.. But then again, maybe I'm better off not knowing too. =)(Don't want to freak myself out and end up inducing labor there and then!)

Come to think of it, maybe that's why mummy's been puking AGAIN! Dr Tan says it's probably cos of the pressure... Hmm.. darling, please cooperate and stop giving stress to mummy's poor stomach and intestines yar?? I know you are growing FAST and BIG and you are running out of space.. But just bear with it for another week/few days?? If mummy gets to feast, so do you! So pretty please, do cooperate and let mummy eat yar??

Alrighty, that's about it for now. We shall be meeting again tomorrow at Dr Tan's office.. =)

Will this be mummy's last entry before darling makes your 1st appearance?? We shall see.... :)

Love,
Mummy

Heads-up!

2010-01-17T18:31:00.006+08:00

Precious Chloe,

Mummy went for our regular pre-natal check yesterday... At 32 weeks, darling's weight almost doubled that when you were 28 weeks old.. Darling was already 1.7kg.. Frankly,that wasn't quite what mummy expected.. Mummy expected you to put on more weight!! Like maybe at least 2 kg by now?? (So that more of mummy's weight gain can be attributed to you darling!):)

Judging by your threatening kicks & punches, mummy was half-expecting Dr Tan to exclaim that you are too big for your own good.. Or for mummy's own good.. But oh well, Dr Tan seemed perfectly satisfied with your progress.. And on account that mummy's overall weight gain has slowed down somewhat, I shall let it pass... =)

But one thing though, darling has decided to give us the heads-up, again! Usually, heads-up are good.. But not when lil' one is literally head-up! 2 visits ago, darling was heads-up.. Then at 28 weeks, darling decided to cooperate & turn back down.. But your recent 'adventures' in the womb are going a lil' too far, lil' lady... And I thought you had stopped your 'washing machine - tumble dry' mode already?? So do cooperate and turn back down k?? Most importantly, STAY DOWN! Cos Dr Tan said something about having to decide the delivery method by next visit if lil' missy still isn't going to cooperate..

Mummy's mind was in too much of a frenzy to listen carefully then.. All that came to my head was caesarean... *Shudders*... And nope, lil' missy, you are not going to do that to mummy k? So mummy's giving you a deadline.. You can have all the fun that you want.. tumble dry, belly dance, karate chops, hip-hop dance... whatever... BUT! By 5th Feb, you better get into position & stay that way, do you hear me, lil' lady??

Love,
Mummy

~ Chloe ~

2009-12-31T16:56:00.004+08:00

Yes lil' one... After much deliberation, mummy has decided on Chloe. :)

Actually, this name has been on my mind for ages.. But when mummy first mentioned it to daddy, well, his response wasn't exactly that enthusiastic.. Not like when mummy told daddy your sister's name, Raeanne. Daddy didn't actually say so, but mummy thought maybe daddy prefers a name that's closer to your sister's.. Like a name starting with 'Rae' or at least 'R'.. So mummy continued to ponder and ponder...

Well, I really couldn't think of any name starting with 'Rae' or 'R' that was to my satisfaction... So mummy changed tactic.. Maybe something with 'anne'?? And so came the name 'Leanne'... Daddy was ok with this name. But after mentioning this name a few times to a few of mummy's friends, it kinda turned out quite disastrous.. Aunty Wendy heard mummy wrongly and thought we had named you 'Lian'...

To be on the safe side, mummy decided to put 'Leanne' on hold.. I really didn't want to risk darling being teasingly called 'Ah Lian' in future..

No matter how many baby names i go through each day, mummy found that 'Chloe' was never far from my mind.. And so, a decision was finally made (of cos with approval from daddy)! =)

So precious lil' Chloe, hope you'll like this name that daddy and mummy have given you..

See you in 2 months time!

Love,
mummy

禹昕堂姐

2009-12-21T16:23:00.000+08:00

璇璇，

大伯的女儿禹昕，也是你的堂姐，在十四号，比你早两个多月出生。

体重2.93公斤，下午四点十五分出生；爸爸去看她时差不多是傍晚七点十分。

那时她还躺在婴儿室休息，那间婴儿室也是到时你会暂住的地方。

大伯跟护士阿姨说要看禹昕堂姐，护士最把堂姐推到靠窗处让我们看，护士阿姨说要喂完奶后才推去大伯母的房间。

本来在睡觉的堂姐可能知道我们要看她，就睁开眼睛来了，非常可爱。

隔天爸爸和妈妈又去看了禹昕堂姐，妈妈说看了可爱的禹昕堂姐，她非常想抱她。

想到还有两个多月我们就可以看到你，爸爸妈妈就非常开心，尤其是妈妈，简直是等不及了。=）

璇璇的肚皮舞

2009-12-21T15:39:00.000+08:00

璇璇，

虽然还有两个多月，爸爸妈妈才能见到你，不过爸爸妈妈已经开始猜测你喜欢什么样的活动了。

爸爸觉得你喜欢运动，因为在几个月前你已经不停地在妈妈肚子里翻滚和运动了。

但是最近妈妈说你除了在她肚子里面跑步和打鼓之外，也喜欢跳舞。

晚上妈妈临睡前就是你活跃的时刻，每晚爸爸妈妈要做的只是静静地躺着看你跳舞。

不懂你是跟着什么音乐起舞的，爸爸妈妈只是不停地看到妈妈肚皮上一波又一波的震动，像海浪一样。

有时候却是左边敲敲，右边踢踢，有时候是上边顶顶，下边抓抓，你的舞可是在妈妈肚子里各个角落进行的。

虽然还有两个多月，妈妈却感觉肚子里的你开始觉得位子和空间不够你使用了。=）

小宝贝，你要耐心点，毕竟只有两个多月爸爸妈妈就可以看到我们的宝贝璇璇了。=）

2009-12-19T20:59:00.001+08:00

Precious darling,

Mummy can't quite believe that in less than 3 months, we're going to meet. And.. *guiltily*... this is only mummy's 2nd entry for you..

Somehow, this pregnancy seems to pass by so much faster than when mummy was expecting your sister. Before daddy and mummy knew, darling's already wat.. like 28wks old??!! And we haven't bought a single thing for you.. haven't started preparing anything for you... worse of all, mummy still can't decide on your christian name..

Sigh...

Sorry darling.. It's almost as if you really do know that daddy and mummy haven't been as attentive towards preparing for your arrival than when mummy was expecting your sister.. So day in day out, you've been serving up all your punches and kicks.. without any reservations, if I may say so.. These days, daddy doesn't even have to place his palms on mummy's tummy to feel your kicks.. All he needs is eyepower! Daddy can actually see the 'tsunami tummy waves' created by you! Just imagine that..

Well, I guess darling's running out of space ya? But then again, by the end of 2nd trimester, mummy has already been mistaken twice to be about to deliver.. -_-" Just imagine how big mummy's tummy is.. But apparently that still isn't enough space for you huh?

Just this thur, daddy and mummy went to see Dr Tan again.. When Dr Tan took a snapshot of darling's head and did some measurements, he went like "Wow, not bad huh! 你很厉害啊!" Erm.. it's probably a good thing thar darling is developing well or a bit ahead of well.. But after going through one delivery, mummy knows better than to be ignorantly happy.. Cos darling's big head means mummy's gonna need more energy to push you out (alternatively get cut a bit more).. *shudders*

But there's something else which mummy's definitely happy about.. Darling is 1kg now! Barely 2 weeks ago, darling was only 600g.. Mummy's glad you're gaining weight so fast now.. for 2 reasons.. The first obvious one is definitely cos darling is growing healthily and hopefully as chubby as your sister was when she was born.. The 2nd reason.. ahem.. is cos, mummy's glad I can attribute that 1kg of weight gain to you! Looking at my kilos pile on is getting quite scary... I wonder how some other mummies can put on only half as much weight as mummy at the time of delivery!

Anyway, just keep on gaining weight, won't you darling? :)

Love,
mummy

璇璇的名字

2009-11-15T19:33:00.001+08:00

小宝贝，

今天和妈妈商量后，我们终于决定了你的名字：林睿璇。

其实这个名字在两年多前爸爸妈妈帮姐姐想名字时，已经顺便想好了。当时想了名字后，我们也顺便想了下一个孩子的名字。

当时我们想了一个男孩子和女孩子的名字。

对了，那时候爸爸妈妈晚上正坐在滨海湾那边看海，夜晚的海风凉凉的，凉爽的空气也让爸爸妈妈心情比较舒坦，想名字时也比较有灵感。

只是这阵子，妈妈说她朋友说“璇璇”叫起来不大顺口，似乎是“萱萱”比较顺口。

前几天爸爸妈妈又问了外公和阿姨，他们觉得“璇璇”的名字比较优雅。

早上爸爸又搬出了书房的几本取名秘笈，比较了“璇”和“萱”的含义。

根据爸爸的秘笈，“璇”带有高贵、自尊的意思，执着于自己的个性、风格、信仰和观念；有才华、能力、魄力、好动、勤快、善良、温情、念旧、擅长思考和逻辑推演、有自己的原则与规矩、临危不乱、学习力强等等。

那些都是爸爸妈妈都希望你以后会拥有的个性；虽然有了名字并不意味着你会拥有，但是至少会一直提醒爸爸妈妈要如何努力帮你成为那样子的人。

决定了中文名后，接下来就轮到妈妈要伤脑筋了；妈妈现在还在努力地帮你想英文名。

这几个星期你越来越好动，每天不是在妈妈肚子里表演马戏团就是努力在洗衣，难道这就是所谓的“魄力”和“好动”？=）

爸爸

小宝贝，

那是你第一次陪爸爸妈妈一起出游，虽然只是几天的海上游，但是对于我们来说这也是一种纪念。

这阵子你不是在妈妈肚子里做马戏团表演，就是模仿洗衣机在妈妈肚子里洗衣，爸爸陪着妈妈时如果手靠近妈妈肚子的话，还会感觉到肚子里面的震动。=）

在海上的日子，我们全家人多数时间都在甲板上散步和吃点心喝茶；妈妈说在船上的那几天由于不时吃点心，也不需要常常吃糖果来解除口中干涩的感觉了。

在船上，爸爸妈妈也帮你选了一只毛绒玩具当作纪念，希望以后你也会喜欢；爸爸想当我们看到你紧紧地抱着那只玩具时，我们心中一定会非常开心的。

爸爸妈妈都喜欢海，不知你以后也会喜欢吗？

算算一下，我们还有四个多月就可以见面了，爸爸妈妈心里可是充满着期待。

小宝贝，

爸爸妈妈谈话时，把你称为小宝，姐姐呢爸爸妈妈就称大宝。

一个多月前，你就开始在妈妈肚子里手舞足蹈。其实我们在做超音扫描时还看过你翻筋斗几次。

妈妈说你比姐姐更会动，尤其是这两个星期。

这个星期，如果到了吃东西时间妈妈还没去吃的话，你就会在妈妈肚子里面大翻筋斗。

以前姐姐只是有手这里抓抓，那里踢踢而已，而你呢，却是在妈妈肚子里面大翻筋斗，有几次还弄到妈妈非常不舒服。

昨晚妈妈临睡前告诉爸爸小宝你又在翻筋斗了；爸爸把手放在妈妈肚皮上时，你果然是很努力地大翻筋斗，爸爸可以感觉到你在妈妈肚子里翻筋斗的力度。

今天傍晚接妈妈下班时，妈妈告诉爸爸你也像过去几天一样在妈妈肚子里面像马戏团一样表演。

爸爸突然想起了这个名词：小宝马戏团。

Life story...

2009-10-10T20:53:00.009+08:00

Hello there, mummy's precious lil' one..

This is mummy's very first entry for you.. After a long long wait.. But finally, mummy's 'nausea-free' time is long enough for me to sit in front of the laptop to pen down my thoughts and feelings for you..

18 weeks and 6 days... That's exactly how long you've been with me and these 18 weeks and 6 days have been fraught with so much ups and downs. Both physically and emotionally.

Well, get yourself ready and gear up for a long, long story... :)

~27th June 2009~
Daddy bought a pregnancy test kit for mummy cos mummy had been unwell for the past few weeks and more importantly, mummy's menses was a week late. But, the kit showed a negative result.

~2nd July 2009~
Mummy's menses was still late. So daddy bought mummy another test kit. We wanted to be sure cos mummy had to go for a medical check-up and we did not want to risk having darling go through the X-ray. And...ta dah! This time round, 2 blue lines finally showed up. =)

~7th July 2009~
Daddy and mummy went to see Dr Tan, the same gynae who delievered your sister... Theoretically speaking, darling should be about 6 weeks old already.. Our main concern now was, your viability. i.e. whether your heartbeat was present. Unfortunately, Dr Tan couldn't see your heartbeat. However, he explained that darling was probably only about 4 weeks plus then & that we would have to wait for another week to have another ultrasound done to check on your viability... To top it off, Dr Tan added that there's a cyst beneath the placenta. Though Dr Tan said that before 12 weeks, it is usually not an issue cos it was probably due to the hormones raging inside mummy's body. Even with his reassurance, mummy was still worried. Not so much for myself, but how it might affect darling's growth. That day, daddy and mummy went home with a heavy heart.... Worrying and worrying and worrying... Worrying that we might not be blessed with precious lil' you afterall..

~13th July 2009~
Mummy started spotting.. Day after day, the spotting increased.. Mummy and daddy were so worried that we were losing you...

~18th July 2009~
Time to go back for the scan. Thank goodness! Mummy saw your lil' heart beating away furiously! You have no idea how relieved daddy and mummy were... To see your lil' heart beating, that was a gift from heaven... And so, at 6.3 weeks old, darling had your very first picture taken... =)

~20th July 2009~
This marked the start of mummy's much dreaded morning-sickness... Or I should say, all-day-sickness... Sigh... Vomit, vomit, vomit... Retching, retching, retching... (Whoever promised that the 2nd pregnancy would be better huh?!)

~27th August 2009~
2nd photoshoot time! :) Daddy missed this one. What a waste! Cos mummy's precious lil' gem had grown so much since the last time we met! And whoa... was that you waving at mummy?? Haahaa... Indeed, darling was actually dancing away and waving at mummy!

~11th September 2009~
That fateful night, mummy received a letter from the hospital asking mummy to go back to the hospital ahead of our scheduled appointment to see Dr Tan. Bad news. Daddy and mummy knew this meant something must be wrong. We could not digest the news. When mummy went for the last scan, Dr Tan had given mummy the all-clear. Darling was perfectly fine. And now, what could it be that they found from the blood test that would prompt such a call back? Deep down, daddy and mummy knew what we were going to be told. Darling is not doing well. Yet... Mummy still prayed.. prayed that it was something to do with mummy. And just mummy alone. Let it be something about mummy's health but yet would not affect darling. Mummy couldn't sleep that night.. I silently prayed and prayed... Prayed that the bad news only referred to mummy.. Prayed that only I alone had to bear the consequences of whatever it was...

~14 September 2009~
Daddy and mummy went back to the hospital to see Dr Tan.. And our worst fears were confirmed. We were told that darling might not be doing very well.. Yet, that was just a risk estimate, not definite. And so, daddy and mummy were given 2 weeks to decide whether we want to go for further testing.. Before we left the clinic, daddy and mummy's precious lil' gem again waved at us and danced around.. It was as though darling knew we were worried and was trying to say " Look, daddy mummy! I'm fine, don't worry. See how I can flip myself upside down!"... That sight was more than mummy could bear.. How can such an active lil' gem be unhealthy? How can I stand losing you, who is already so alive and happily swimming within me? I simply couldn't believe it...

~28th September 2009~
We decided to go for the test. Though it was invasive, daddy and mummy needed to know. When mummy was lying on the bed, I was overwhelmed with very bad thoughts. It was supposed to be only a test... Yet, to mummy, it felt as though darling and mummy would be separated after that.. That very moment, mummy knew very well that mummy wouldn't be able to go through the process of losing you... It was far too much to bear. Dr Tan probably saw mummy's anxiety.. So he told mummy to close my eyes during the procedure. But daddy witnessed it all.. The needle going in.. and seemingly within reach of darling.. As usual, our precious lil' gem was actively swimming at that time & daddy said you looked as though you might reach out for the needle that invaded your 'room'! It was probably a wise decision to close my eyes, or mummy would have freaked out at that sight of darling playing with the needle! Mummy opened my eyes only when it was over.. It was a beautiful sight that greeted me... Mummy's precious lil' gem waving at mummy from the screen... However hard I tried to control my tears, they just rolled off my cheeks... Dr Tan thought mummy was in pain where the needle went through. Indeed I was... But it wasn't where he poked. It was in my heart...

~7th October 2009~
After a painful week long wait, mummy could finally see the silver lining that I'd been waiting for.. Though not quite the way mummy had expected it to arrive... When mummy went for the test, we were told that if it's bad news, they will call to inform mummy personally. But if its good news, then they will simply post out the result by snail mail... So when mummy's handphone rang and registered the number 6326... Mummy's heart dropped. Cos I recognised that as the hospital's number.. Reluctantly, mummy answered the call... Heart sinking deeper and deeper by the second... So when the nurse told mummy the good news, mummy could barely register it! Mummy had to ask her to repeat.. And she explained that Dr Tan had asked her to call mummy so that mummy and daddy could set our mind at ease even before the letter arrives. :)

It was also then that she let on the news that mummy and daddy has another lil' princess on the way!! =)Mummy was so on top of the world that day! So much that I wish I could hug you in my arms right away..

That afternoon, mummy happened to be in town for a meeting and so mummy grabbed the chance to go shopping for a gift for lil' darling.. And when mummy saw, Twiggy... I just knew I had to buy that for you. =) So here you are darling Rui Xuan... Here's mummy's very 1st gift for you.. For being such a brave and strong lil' gal.. Hope you like it! (Cos your sister certainly does!;))

And yes, daddy and mummy had long decided on your name for you... Our precious lil' gem, Rui4 Xuan2... =)

Only 149 days more till we meet!:)

Love,
Mummy

小宝贝，

昨天傍晚下班后，虽然身体还是不适，但是获知好消息的妈妈已经急不及待地去了乌节路帮你买了第一份礼物。

妈妈说是要纪念获知好消息的这一天。

结果妈妈帮你买了一只非常可爱毛绒动物玩具。

爸爸看着那只可爱的毛绒动物玩具，觉得它好斯文哦。

妈妈说这是因为感觉中你比姐姐好动，所以要让那只可爱斯文的毛绒玩具来影响你。

妈妈说周末有空的话可能会在你的部落留一些文字，所以爸爸就让妈妈帮你作记录吧。

昨晚妈妈还让那只毛绒动物玩具和你说了很多很多话，最后还让它睡在爸爸妈妈中间哩。=）

折腾了接近一个月，你的最新报告已经出来了，爸爸妈妈总算松了一口气。

爸爸妈妈这一个月来不敢想太多和你有关的东西，一直担心会失去了你。

这两个星期，你在妈妈肚子里不安分地运动已经让妈妈感觉到你的招呼，让爸爸妈妈知道你是勇敢的。

但是爸爸妈妈却又不敢想太多，我们唯一能做的是让妈妈多进补多休息，希望妈妈肚子里的你也是能正常地成长。

勇敢的你以行动告诉了我们你的期待。

总算暂时告别了一系列的扫描和血验，妈妈总算可以比较放心地养胎和陪你。

报告说你是小女孩，爸爸妈妈的二女儿，恩恩姐姐的妹妹。=）

爸爸妈妈非常开心，也非常期待你的到来。=）

这几天妈妈吃完晚餐后不到两个小时，就觉得肚子空空想吃东西了。

但是每次都是想吃辣辣的东西，最好是越辣越好。

之前爸爸弄了平常妈妈喜欢吃的酸辣汤给妈妈吃，但是妈妈说不好吃了，因为不够辣。

上个星期就买了印度煎饼配咖喱给妈妈吃。

好吃是好吃，但是吃了后不久又吐了出来。

妈妈向爸爸埋怨你喜欢吃咖喱但是又喜欢作乱。

这几天晚上爸爸亲自下厨煮了超辣的咖喱面给妈妈吃，妈妈吃得津津有味。

但是今晚妈妈吃完后却说爸爸在害她变肥。

这该怎么办才好呢？

对于爸爸妈妈来说，你是男孩是女孩一点也不重要，重要的是你来到这世上后，会是健康和开心的宝宝。

如果你是女孩的话，爸爸妈妈在取名字方面不会伤太多脑筋，尤其是妈妈已经帮你想好很多名字了。

是男的呢，爸爸妈妈还没想到比较好听的名字。

这几天祖母和妈妈问你的姐姐，希望肚子里的你会是弟弟或妹妹时，姐姐都说要妹妹。

看来你姐姐比较希望有个妹妹出来和她玩。

应该还有大约两个月吧，爸爸妈妈就可以告诉外婆和姐姐答案了。=）

小宝贝，

这两个星期，妈妈平均每星期都要拿两天病假在家休息。

休息是那种全身不能够动，只能静静地躺在床上的休息。

上洗手间的时候，也必须以那种超慢的速度慢慢移动，稍微移动快一点的话，就会吐了。

爸爸每天早上不是载妈妈去上班，就是载妈妈去诊所看病。

这个星期，爸爸吐到也开始有胃病了。

看了医生后的诊断是胃酸倒流引起的胃灼热和食道炎。

很多时候妈妈还一边呕吐一边咳嗽，上个星期咳到怀你的地方也隐隐作痛。

本来以为上次怀你姐姐时已经够辛苦了，没想到怀你更辛苦。

刚才妈妈吃完晚餐后又开始要吐了，每次到了周日晚上就会出现这样的问题。

妈妈跟爸爸说难道是小宝贝不要妈妈去工作？

2009-08-22T19:52:00.001+08:00

小宝贝，

星期三晚上，妈妈临睡前跟爸爸说她虽然这几天一直呕个不停，但是还有很多东西想吃。

妈妈就一样一样说给爸爸听，讲到完应该总共有至少卅种妈妈想吃的吧。

星期四晚上，妈妈下班后身子还好，爸爸就带了妈妈去吃日本餐。

妈妈一口气点了很多，结果吃到肚子很胀。

回到家后，第一次你乖乖没有给妈妈麻烦。

平常妈妈用完晚餐后只能躺在床上一动都不动的，因为稍微移动的话就会呕吐。

隔天那种呕吐的感觉也不比平常强烈。

妈妈说小宝贝你应该是喜欢日本餐多一点点吧。

这以后等你出来后爸爸妈妈就会知道了。=）

用完了呕吐袋

2009-08-18T21:17:00.002+08:00

小宝贝，

妈妈怀姐姐的那阵子爸爸妈妈常常飞行，那时爸爸乘机拿了很多呕吐袋，几趟飞行累积下来也有整三十个左右吧。

没想到这三个星期内妈妈却用完了。

早上爸爸载妈妈到了工作的地方后车子一停，妈妈就在车上吐。

回家时也是一样，一天至少要用两个纸袋。

现在所有的呕吐袋都用完了，必须开始用超市的塑胶袋了。

爸爸只希望妈妈的呕吐过程能快点过去，然后可以好好地享受成为第二孩子妈妈的过程。

小宝贝，你也有在听吗？

爸爸

小宝贝，

今早是妈妈复诊的时间，距离上一次又过了四个星期。

医生叔叔把扫描器放在妈妈肚子上时，爸爸妈妈看到了你小小的身子。

你在妈妈肚子里，一直很活跃地在动着。

先是看到你点点头，过后就挥挥手，似乎是像我们打招呼似的。

这几天呕吐得非常厉害的妈妈，看到你活跃的样子，这么久以来终于展露出笑靥。

妈妈这个星期只去工作一天，其他日子都是拿病假。

医生叔叔说你现在是4公分多，属于正常。

但是妈妈的子宫里发现了一个小肿块，医生说是囊肿（cyst），需要继续观察。

一个星期多后需要回去再看医生。

爸爸希望妈妈和你都会健健康康。

继续呕吐

2009-08-13T23:54:00.001+08:00

小宝贝，

因为你，妈妈这个星期又拿了两天病假，然后躺在床上不能动。

一动，就会吐。

今早爸爸载妈妈去工作的地方，车子一停，妈妈就马上吐了。

早上吃的早餐都全部吐了出来，再加上吐出来的胃酸和呕吐过程时流下的泪水。

而爸爸只能坐在旁边看，无能为力。

妈妈怀你实在是不容易，除了吐，每天都是昏沉无力；除了拿病假，在家里也不能温习功课，工作时也是必须强忍着那强烈的恶心感。

今天傍晚爸爸载妈妈到家时，在车上妈妈又吐了几分钟。

小宝贝你过去的三个多星期闹得越来越厉害，每天都不放过妈妈。

妈妈告诉爸爸，以后你不会再有弟弟或妹妹了。

爸爸只希望能够替妈妈承担所有的辛苦，也希望你偶尔也让妈妈不要那么辛苦，一个星期少闹那么一两天。

好不好？

挑食

2009-08-08T23:28:00.000+08:00

小宝贝，

当你在妈妈肚子里面很舒服地在躺着或休息时，妈妈每天却吐到很辛苦。

每天爸爸载妈妈去上班以及载妈妈回家时，车子一停妈妈就开始吐，吐了将近五分钟才能下车。

妈妈每天都是拖着疲惫的身子去工作的，这两个星期妈妈已经拿了几天病假，而且而被上司劝回家休息了几天。

刚开始时妈妈觉得是因为肚子空空所以才会有那种折磨人的呕吐感，但是进食后却没什么好转，反而吐更多东西出来。

连续几次后妈妈发觉原来和吃的东西有关，只要吃稍微好吃的东西就不会吐得那么厉害。

妈妈肚子里没有你的时候，吃面包涂咖椰是没问题的，但是有了你后一嗅到咖椰和面包的味道就要呕。

就这样连续试吃了很多东西后发现小宝贝不喜欢看咖哩面包还有鱼肉面包，但是喜欢吃面煎糕。

家里以前买的一种比较经济三合一咖啡，现在妈妈冲那个牌子的咖啡想喝时，嗅到的味道已经不像是咖啡味了。

原来小宝贝喜欢比较贵的另外一个牌子，那个牌子其实也是爸爸妈妈喜欢喝的牌子。=）

有时晚上妈妈不舒服时，爸爸就要下厨来服侍你了，幸好爸爸目前准备的一些食物你还可以将就应酬。

你的姐姐以前已经很挑食了，没想到你比姐姐还挑食。

你挑食归挑食，不过可以的话可以不要让妈妈太辛苦可以吗？

还有以后长大后要记得要好好对待妈妈，妈妈怀你实在不容易。

带给妈妈的特别服务

小宝贝，

这几天，你努力加油的关系，妈妈必须请病假在家里休息。

一半是你开始努力吸收妈妈的营养，一半是你带来的妈妈体内荷尔蒙的调整，妈妈除了吐，就是一整天软绵绵地躺在床上。

因为没有食欲，食物稍微吃太多也会吐，所以妈妈每餐吃得不多。

但是不吃身体有无力昏沉，所以爸爸必须准备好食物给妈妈吃。

今天爸爸去工作前，在外头打包了鱼圆米台目汤给妈妈当午餐。

晚餐则是鱼片米粉汤，妈妈只吃了一点。

差不多四十五分钟后，妈妈又饿了，爸爸又炸了一些鸡肉块及薯条给妈妈吃。

待会还有鸡精和蜜糖。

明天会有燕窝。

平常懒惰的爸爸很少会下厨煮东西，但是这几天已经开始下厨准备食物给妈妈吃了。

星期天时的福建虾面虽然弄得不好吃，但是妈妈以及到访的祖父祖母也吃得津津有味。

还有爸爸也让妈妈完全禁止做家务了，让妈妈有更多的时间休息以及陪你和姐姐。

妈妈现在能享有的特别服务，是你带给妈妈的。

爸爸妈妈在外面加油，你也要在妈妈身子内继续加油努力知道吗？

爸爸

听话的小宝贝

2009-07-19T21:54:00.001+08:00

小宝贝，

你是不是听到爸爸妈妈要你加油的话了呢？

今天一整天你都在努力发功，弄得妈妈除了觉得要吐之外，还全身没力。

结果一整天都躺着，无法做东西。

但是如果你不发功加油，妈妈却不放心。

你加油后妈妈觉得不舒服是正常的事，意味着妈妈体内的荷尔蒙因为你的努力而开始调节。

无论如何，只要你继续加油，爸爸妈妈辛苦一下子，都是值得的。

今天跟你的姐姐说了你的存在，姐姐看起来非常兴奋，一下子说要弟弟，一下子说要妹妹。

你的到来一定让家里更加热闹精彩。

爸爸会努力让妈妈养好身子，让你在妈妈体内健康快乐。

小宝贝，你要继续努力加油哦。

爸爸

加油，宝贝

2009-07-18T15:12:00.002+08:00

宝贝，

今天是爸爸第一次看到你的照片，你可能只有几公分大。

妈妈在医院进行扫描时，爸爸很担心。

可以想象得到妈妈是更加地担心，像怀你姐姐一样，妈妈她这几天一直不舒服，还有呕吐。

幸好报告中的你心跳是每分钟126下，六个星期大。

报告出来后，爸爸妈妈比较放心，至少知道暂时你在妈妈体内正常地成长。

但是妈妈这几天一直有流血，虽然医生说25巴仙的怀孕会有出血现象，但是但是只要没有过三个月，爸爸妈妈总是不放心。

爸爸妈妈会努力让你健康成长，但是你要努力加油。

加油，孩子，爸爸妈妈爱你。

爸爸
