By a stroke of luck, me became a mummy at age 28... if Baby Charlotte had arrived on her EDD (5 Jun 08), me would hv become a mummy at age 29 instead... =P
Dis yr, me spent my bdae w/o any birthdae cakes or nice treats, n at MAH somemore... as Charlotte had mild jaundice, she could onli b discharged 1 dae later on 4 Jun instead of 3 Jun... as me bfeeding her totalli n we felt uneasy leaving her alone at MAH, we decided to extend my stay for a dae too... hwr, Dr Lui suggested so as to allow her maximum time under the bili light, itz nt advisable to hv her wheeled outta nursery for bfeeding, so me expressed my milk out n asked the nurses to spoonfeed her... seeing her exposed under the bili light, wif onli an eyeshield n diapers on, pained me... remembered hvg tears in my eyes watching her from outside the nursery... =(
Dearie got me a Trinity ring from Goldheart... itz a 2-in-1 gift (both bdae n delivery) =) he gave it to me after my delivery on the delivery date itself... wil nid to get the ring size changed thou, as itz too small... wonder whn me can put on my wedding band n proposal ring, as my fingers hv expanded during my pregnancy =( had hinted to Dearie b4hand dat a Trinity ring is special, given wif Charlotte's arrival, there wil b nw 3 members in our family... he had nt shown any positive signs of getting it 4me, so was pleasantly surprised whn me received the ring =)
My DIL got me a white Burberry Blue Label bag during his Tokyo trip. =) he said itz exclusive onli in Japan... so nice of him... the moment he n Dearie's sis got off the plane on 2 Jun, they immediately came to MAH... needless to say, Charlotte got the most number of gifts - Mikimoto foto frame, a pink-heart Burberry keychain, a cute kimono-like outfit, a hand-knit ball, an amulet, a NOEL hamper wif 2008 Singapore Mint coins n a box to kip her many 1sts... the 1st addition to her many 1sts is her umbilical stump which dropped off on Sat =P
But think Charlotte is my greatest gift dis year! =)) Motherhood is realli a gr8 plc 2b! thou itz tiring bfeeding her every hour, even @ nitez, the feelings of fulfillment n joy outweigh the tiredness n sleepless nitez... =)
