A Request From Your Proud Daddy.

Darling 'Ziao Ziao Face'... As Aunty Addy is typing this post, you are sleeping on Grandmama's bed. You are staying over at Grandmama's place for the 2nd night in a row cos' your Mummy isn't feeling very well today. Think she is lacking sleep from taking care of you. Poor thing...

This post is a special request from your Daddy yesterday. Your Daddy wants me to upload the video of you that smiled the same way as he does.

I was carrying you the other day and decided to shoot a video clip of you. I was just cooing and talking to you while shooting the video. Then I asked you to give Aunty Addy a smile, a smile just like the way your Daddy does it. To my surprise, you smiled (in about 3 seconds) exactly like your Daddy. It is probably a coincidence but it just seems like you understand what Aunty Addy is asking of you. Your Daddy was the proudest of all in this episode. He said the video clip must be uploaded onto your blog for all to see…

So ‘Hao Lian’ hor… : )

Such A Funny, Cute Picture

Aunty Addy has been really with her work so no time to update your blog for you... but I just want to upload this picture that Uncle took for you this morning... It is such a funny, cute picture of you smiling.. Now you know why Aunty Addy calls you her 'Ziao Ziao Face'... :D

Baby Jayden Enjoys Music

Baby Jayden... For a start, let me tell you how proud I am of you! You had managed the achieved the 1st goal that Aunty Addy and you made. : )

Since your discharged, you had been receiving many guests. Everyone just wanted to have a good look at my darling nephew. :)
Everything about you are so small, your hands, legs, head, body...

It has been more than a week since you discharged. Like all first time parents, your Daddy and Mummy are still learning the rope of looking after you 24/7. It has not been easy for them for the past 1 week. They were kept awake for many nights because you just refused to sleep during the night. Aunty Addy knows it is not easy for you due to the change of environment. Don't worry, okie? Take your time. For you, we will be very patient.

Last Wednesday, I went up to your place to sleepover cos' your Mummy was telling me that you had been awake for 2 - 3 hrs everynght after your feeding. One of the nights, your Daddy and Mummy stayed up from 3 - 6am trying to pacify you back to sleep. You finally slept at 6am but you woke up half an hour later for your next feeding. Your Daddy and Mummy were super lack of sleep but to them you come first. Back to my sleepover at your place... It was a public holiday the next day so I thought I can help your Mummy should you decide not to sleep at night.

On the night that I was there, I was talking to your Mummy when she was feeding you. A thought came to my mind when we were talking about you waking up at night. I told your Mummy that maybe we can try to play some soothing music for you to listen. At that time, we weren't sure if it will work but Aunty Addy was thinking... Why not just try it? You might like it afterall.

I started playing the following 5 pieces of music for you:
1. Canon in D
2. Sundial Dreams
3. Ballade Pour Adeline
4. Theme from "Love Story"
5. Music-Box Tune

To our surprise, you seem to enjoy the music. We decide to play the music repeatedly for you over the night and for the first night since you came back from the hospital, you slept throughout the night except for the regular feeding times. Many times after that night, we will play the music for you when you were crying or grouchy and you will be pacified by the music. I guess babies do like soothing music but I am still quite amazed that the music actually works.

Because you like to listen to music so much, I am going to give my Shuffles to you so that your Mummy can play the music for you throughout the night but before that, I got to ask your Uncle Terence if he is okie to give you the Shuffles cos' I actually passed it to him since I had my iPod Video. I am quite sure though that he will give it up for our dear darling. : )

Your Mummy just told me that you will be coming over to Grandmama's place tomorrow... :D I am going to come home as early as I can after work to see my darling. Miss you already...

P.S. Just remembered a small little t-shirt that Aunty Diana bought for you a while back. Aunt Diana was shopping for Bro Darius and saw the t-shirt just for you. It is such a little cute thing!!

The Day Has Come!!

After 1 month 2 weeks & 3 days, you are finally going to be discharged tomorrow. I am going to push away all my appointments for tomorrow evening cos I am going to zoom to your house to see our darling Baby Jayden right after work. Nothing is going to stop me from doing that.

I am going to carry you in my arms. I really can't wait to cuddle you in my arms. Love you, darling...

Unbelievably Loved!

Let's see... You are 1 month & 1 week old and guess what gift you receive from Uncle Terence and Aunty Rancy?! It is a pair of Puma Trionfo 2 Massa Infant shoes, translate to simple english.. it is a pair of Puma Ferrari edition shoes.



You probably can't fit into the shoes till you are 1 yrs old but Uncle Terence bought it anyway. He also bought a pair for your Cousin Darius. It just seem like our focus had shifted since you little boys were born. We want to buy the cutest, nicest stuff for you boys. Just the other day, Aunty Diana bought this cute little Armani Baby T-shirt for you. I can't wait to see you in them.

Your Mummy just informed me that you are at 1.815kg now. I see that you are doing really good. Definitely working towards your goal. Was informed by the nurse that you might be able to discharge next week!!! Just a wee bit more, darling Jayden. I'm without a doubt that you can do it... : )

Finally... Cutie.

17 July 2007, Tuesday...

This was the date that I finally see you face-to-face.

We were going for a family dinner at Vienna in United Square. Before the dinner, we made a detour to the hospital to visit our dear little prince. We had been informed by your Mummy on Sunday that we can see you from outside your ward through the glass window. We were very excited as we have been waiting for this day for the longest time.

Your Mummy pushed you from your ward to beside the glass window so that we can see you clearly. She was carrying you and talking to you.. Can't hear what she said but I am sure she is introducing us to you. Poor Uncle Terence, Aunty Rancy and myself (Aunty Addy) were seeing you with the glass window separating us but we are already very contented to be able to see you this way.

We know you are anxious to see us like we are to see you.. There were quite a few times when we saw you wanting to open your eyes but I think there was some 'sticky eyes shit' that kept your eyes closed... Heehee... You were smiling a few times too... and I think you smile like your Daddy with one side of your mouth tilted.

You are one cute, little boy... As of yesterday, you are at 1.645kg... Well done, Baby Jayden. Remember the goal, okie? Let's work towards that...

P.S. Wanna let you know how much your Daddy and Mummy love you. They were informed by the nurse last night that you are only left with 1 bottle of breast milk which might not be enough for you to last through the night. Immediately, your Mummy tried to pump some breast milk at the hospital. After dinner, your Daddy sent us back and went home to pick up the already pumped out breast milk to send it to hospital for you. By then, it should be almost 11pm. For his little darling, he did it without complaints. When you grow up, this blog will serve as a reminder on the unconditional love that your Daddy and Mummy has showered upon you...

Happy Full Month Old, Baby Jayden

Time flies... You are 1 month old already. It seems like not so long ago that you were born.

You are still this mystery baby that everyone knows exist but yet to have a look at you. Every now and then, someone will be asking "Can we see Baby Jayden already?" or "When can we see Baby Jayden?". All of us are anxious to see you but we can wait. For the good of your health, we are willing to wait.

Let's set a goal for you, shall we? Say we aim for 2 weeks from now for you to gain another 0.4kg. I have faith in you that you can achieve the goal. We will be giving you moral supports from the sideline.

Oh ya... we know you love Uncle Terence and Aunty Rancy too... though we think you love Uncle Terence only teeny-weeny bit. Heehee... (If he sees this, he's going to scream!! Hahaha...)

Uncle Terence and Aunty Rancy striked 4D over the weekends and the numbers that they striked are numbers to do with you. They placed a very small bet on the numbers and they bought 'ibet' on the numbers so the winnings are relatively smaller. At least Aunty Rancy striked 1st prize so she still won a few hundred dollars but poor Uncle Terence only striked consolation prize and guess how much is his winning?? A very auspicious $18... :P

Nonetheless... like Aunty Addy, they feel your love for them... :D

Such A Fortunate Baby.

Dearie, you are so loved by all those around you... You have received so many wonderful gifts from people around you. Uncle Shihao and Aunty Nicole bought you a lovely pram to be placed at Grandmama's house. They are really generous with you. The lovely pram is one that your Mummy had wanted to buy for you. When Aunty Nicole found out about THE PRAM, they bought it without hesitation for you. It is really sweet of them. Your Mummy is really appreciative of this gesture from them. I know that if you were to understand things, you will be very thankful too...

And I Know You Love Me Too... : )

3 Weeks 1 Day = 22 Days

22 Days, that is how old you are today. On this 22nd day of your life, I feel your love for Aunty Addy. : )

On Friday, I went to the hospital to meet your Grandpapa, Grandmama, Daddy & Mummy. They were going to visit you again. : ( As we were supposed to go somewhere together after your visit, I decided to meet them there even though I will not be able to see my little darling. I knew it is quite impossible but I ask your Mummy to try her luck with the nurse to see if they will 'break the rule' and let me visit you just this once. Tough luck! Even before your Mummy asks the nurse, we saw 2 incidents where they checked on the visitors' connection to the babies there. I guess I just had to satisfy my request to see you from the glass window. You were sleeping in the incubator further away from the glass window.. so I can only see the shape of your body but not your face. : (

Aunty Addy is constantly checking on your weight cos' it will determine when you will be out of the incubator and subsequently discharge. On Friday, I asked the same questioin again... "What is Baby Jayden's weight?" I can't remember if it is your Daddy or Mummy who answered me but I was told '1.490kg'. I was happy with the answer cos' it only means that you will be out of the incubator really soon. : )

Over the weekends, being quite a regular 4D buyer, your weight of 1.490kg is 1 of the 3 numbers that I bought for this weekends. Guess what?? It came out the 3RD PRIZE TODAY!!! I strike 4D!!! Yipppeeee!! Not a lot of money since I am just a 'small' gambler but I am already very contented. It has come in handy.

I was so happy that I was telling your Daddy and Mummy that our Baby Jayden loves me loads lor.. cos' indirectly you gave me the instinct to buy this number... : )

P.S. Your Grandmama, Mummy and Grandfather went to visit you this afternoon and they brought with them great news that you do not have to sleep in the incubator anymore. It will be really soon that you will be coming home..

Pee-ing & Poo-ing Loads

You are 16 days old today, Baby Jayden. It seems like just a couple of days ago that you were born.

Over the weekends, you were transferred from ICU to the Special Care Nursery which means that your condition has improved. You have been growning steadily over the past 1 week. Your current weight is at 1.430kg. You must 'Jia You', okie? Another 0.570kg to the first goal in your life. I am sure you can do it in real short time.

Grandpapa and Grandmama will visit you every few days to see how is their little darling doing? Like every other Grandmama, your Grandmama was beaming with pride whenever she talks about you. She even thinks you are cute when you were too lazy to wake up when she called you during one of her visits. When your Grandmama visited, the nurse was telling her that you are pee-ing and poo-ing loads.. They have to change your diapers ever so often.

You must continue to drink more, pee & poo more. Most importantly, you must grow more. We can't wait for the day that the doctor announces that you are big enough to be discharged. It will be a day of celebration...

p.s. With the help from your Granny, your chinese name is 卓政贤. LOVELY!!
