Ai Ai's First Haircut at the Hairdresser's

We decided to bring Ai Ai for a haircut as she refuses to dry her hair in the evenings after her bath.
She wasn't upset about it - in fcat, she was really excited about her first trip to the hairdresser.

The first snip

Her hair in a ziplock bag I brought along

Looking worried that the hairdresser will snip her ears off?

A very happy Ai Ai

Gourmet Confinement Food!

I can't begin to say how much I am enjoying my confinement... how am I going to cope when my confinement nanny leaves at the end of the month?

Here are some of her yummylicious cooking:

Mee Sua for breakfast

Homemade char siew

Fried drumlets

Fried fish with soy sauce

Turmeric Chicken

Steamed Codfish

Pork Ribs (pai kuat wong)

I love my 弟弟

Ai Ai is always saying "I want to carry D!"
Guess the pink skate scooter did its job well.

P/S. David's all clear!

Did I forget to say that David's heart is perfectly OK now?
The Cardiac Paediatrician could not hear any signs of murmur, and just to play safe, did a scan on him before we were discharged today... no signs of the prenatal VSD at all! :)
Thank God for this!

Presenting our Mighty Smart Baby

Dear David,

You've been a really good and smart baby.

Earlier during the pregnancy, I've asked you to stay in Mommy's womb safely till full-term so you can put on some weight, since the doctors at NUH mentioned you are a wee bit small-sized, something which Dr. Lim didn't place too much emphasis on, as he believed it's just constitutional.

You've listened to Mommy well and been staying in there till past your EDD of 2 Oct.

And since Mommy decided to try for a natural VBAC (Vaginal Birth After C-section) with you, I've been asking you to come out during the weekend when Daddy is around, so mommy doesn't have to rush and put jie jie with some neighbour before rushing to the hospital.

You've listened well again and decided to come out today, on a Sunday morning.

As you were still not engaged even when I checked into the hospital, I asked you to start moving down Mommy's birth canal so that labour may be smooth and fast.

Again, you've listened well. After reading the papers and chatting with Daddy for about 3 hours, 2nd stage dilation was really quick for about an hour before you popped out at 1:26pm.

Maybe that's why Auntie Cindy calls you a "Mighty Smart Baby" :)

This is Ai Ai playing the violin today with Ms. Chua's help :)

She's looking all serious!
