Jayden, You Shall Be...

Aunt Addy has not been updating your blog regularly cos' you have been a really good boy. Your mummy just give me the 'go-ahead' that I can call you Jayden from now on. She said it is more or less confirmed unless your daddy changes his mind. I am hoping that he will not cos' I think Jayden is a very very beautiful name which really suits you..

Meaning: God has heard...

Given what we had went through, I really think 'God has heard' our prayers...

Darling Boy, You Are Going To Be One Persistent Fellow.

Darling boy, Aunt Addy already know that being persistent will be part of your personalities. I won't know if that will be to your benefit or not in future but for now, I am very proud of you for being so persistent in joining us. Having you is a god's gift to us but what has happened for the past 1 month is a miracle. I know you had worked very hard in your mummy's tummy for the past month and that itself already shows that you belong to our families cos' in our families, we work together and support each other when problems arise.

This is the 24th going to 25th weeks. You will be joining us in another 4 months and we can't wait for that day to come... : )

I Feel Your Heartbeats, Little Dearie.

This is not going to be a long post but I just felt that I want to write down how I feel when I felt your heartbeats.

Mummy came down to grandmama's place this evening. When I reached home at 10:30pm, your mummy is still around waiting for your daddy to come and pick her up. Then I remembered that you, our little dearie, like to do your little exercise at around this time. I asked your mummy if you are kicking her and she was saying 'nope, never'.

Being the stubborn Aunty Addy, I placed my palm on your mummy's tummy where our little dearie is lying in and suddenly your mummy told me that you are moving!!! Hmmm... I think you did not kick hard enough cos Aunty Addy can't feel the kick. : ( The next time Aunty Addy placed her hands on your mummy's tummy again, you must kick harder okie? Then Aunty Addy will be able to feel your moves too.. I must say that even though I do not feel your kicks but I am still rewarded with feeling your heartbeats. I was quite pleasantly surprised to feel that cos I thought you will be too small for us to feel any heartbeats, especially with your mummy's tummy is acting as a barrier between you and my palm. How to feel through that layers of fats, right? : P (Your mummy is so going to curse and swear at me when she sees this entry. Please remind your mummy not to curse and swear at Aunty Addy, okie? It is not good for your teaching. 'Tai Jiao, Tai Jiao'... Hahaha... )

Little dearie, you will be 5 months old by mid next week... Thereafter, we will be left with 140 days to your arrival. Really can't wait for that day to come... Love you. : )

Kick-Boxer? Karate Master? Soccer Star?

Darling, it has been a while since Aunt Addy write about you. I did not want to turn your blog into something monotonous and boring with the same contents day in day out. Hence, did not put up any new entry since nothing much exciting happens... not until last night...

We all believe that you kicked your mummy last night. She could not be sure if it was from you or was she dreaming cos it happened in the middle of the night. But both your daddy and Aunt Addy believe that it was you. It is so exciting. I can't wait for the day that I will be able to feel or see your kick on your mummy's tummy.

Your first kick happened in the middle of the night. Hmmm... does that mean that you are going to be a night owl like your Aunt Addy instead of your Sleeping Beauty mummy? Then again, it's too soon to gauge now. Perhaps in your mummy's tummy, you can't really tell day from night or perhaps you are just confused by your own mummy cos she sleeps day and night at anytime of the day... *shake head* I shall start to make sure that your mummy does not confuse you in the weeks to come. ; )

We believe that we will be able to know if you are a boy boy or girl girl in a couple weeks time (not that it matters really). Everyone will like to know so that we know if we should be buying blue or pink clothes for our darling. : ) Darling, you must remember not to play hide-n-seek when the scanning is being done okie? Do not keep us in mystery okie?

Till then, we will be waiting for your next kick... ; )

Happy 3 Months in Mummy's Tummy

Congratulations, my dearie... You are 3 months old in your mummy's tummy as of today. : )

How time flies! In another 7 months or 28 weeks or 196 days, you will be joining us in this world. I hope you are looking forward to coming to this world as much as we are looking forward to having you entering our lives... : )

It is Quite Amazing!

My little dearie, you are 10 weeks and 4 days old as of today... and guess how big you are?

*Drum-roll*

You are 34mm big!!! 34mm?!?! You are even smaller than my little finger!!! Quite amazing actually...

Your mummy went for your 2nd check-up with the gynae today. Your wonderful daddy accompanies your mummy to the check-up. How loving right? Heehee... Auntie Addy asked your mummy if the scan shows your hands, legs, head or anything at all? Her reply to me is 'yes, but don't ask me where is it cos' I can't tell either.' '''-.- What kind of mummy you have. Poor dearie... Luckily, you still have a brighter Auntie Addy and Uncle Terence... Hahaha...

Till the next entry... With love... : )

Your Many Uncles, Aunties & Cousins

Hmmm... By now, you are 10 weeks and 1 day old...

Do you know that you are going to be born into a very big family (immediate and extended included)? Your mummy has a lot of cousins which we have been very closed to since we are young. We practically grew up playing with each other regularly. We can be a really crazy bunch but you will come to learn that we are a close-knitted crazy bunch.

Your Auntie Diana just played a surprise visit to your mummy last Sunday. We went up to your house in the afternoon with lunch for your mummy cos' she so poor thing. She was at home alone, ironing the clothes. She did not know we were coming so she was cooking porridge for lunch... Haiz... In the end, Auntie Rancy finished up the lunch that we bought for your mummy and still managed to eat some curry puffs that were meant to be her lunch. She can really eat hah...

Auntie Addy is going to introduce you to your lovely cousins today... but before that, Auntie Addy shall introduce you to our families first (maternal side)...

Seow Family
- Grandpapa and Grandmama (your mummy's daddy and mummy)
- Daddy and Mummy (needs no further introduction)
- Auntie Addy (that's me... :))
- Uncle Terence and Auntie Rancy (your mummy's brother and girlfriend, hopefully wife soon...)

Tan Family
- Grand 4th Auntie (Grand 4th Uncle passed away 3 years ago but we still miss him.)
- Uncle Alan and Auntie Sylvia
- Uncle Eric and Auntie Ling
- Cousins Rae, Shayne and Jann
- Uncle Alvin and Auntie Cindy
- Uncle Derrick (which is also your mummy's godbrother)

Yang Family
- Grand 2nd Uncle and Auntie (Great Grandmama also passed away 3 years ago but we love her no less.)
- Uncle Don and Auntie Diana
- Cousin Darius
- Auntie Janet (which is also your mummy's godsister)
- Uncle Sherwyn and Auntie Nicole
- Auntie Doreen (hopefully she will be introducing her boyfriend to the families soon... :P)
- Auntie Eve

You see what a big families we have... There are actually more but I am just introducing to you the ones that we are closer to...

Now, lets talk a bit about your cousins.

Cousins Rae, Shayne and Jann are daughters of Uncle Eric and Auntie Ling. They are some of the sweetest and smartest little girls that I have seen. I hope that you can inherit Cousin Rae's intelligience and Cousin Shayne's cool attitude. I have not gotten a chance to see your Cousin Jann yet cos' she just came to join our families on January 4.

Cousin Darius is the son of Uncle Don and Auntie Diana. He is definitely one of the cutest little boy I have come across... I really, really hope you can be as smiley as him. Once he smiles, he can ask for anything he wants from us... I am quite sure it will be very tough for us to reject him...

With so many lovely people around you, you are going to be showered with love when you join us in August. I can't wait for that to happen and to show you the kind of love that your mummy and we cousins have been getting and will in turn give to you little boys and girls... You are going to enjoy your little journey with us... Auntie Addy is quite sure about that...

You Are A Mischievous Dearie

Dearie, dearie... you are really one mischievous baby, you know?

You are into your 9 weeks in your mummy's tummy and you are making us worried already. This is the first trimester of your life and it is one very crucial period. Everyone is making sure that your mummy will get all the best nutrients so that she can pass all that good stuff to you... Your mummy needs a lot of rest so that she can create an ideal environment for your development... but you are so mischievous...

You are making your mummy feel sick and unwell. That is no good, you know? You cannot bully your mummy like this. You must love your mummy like how she loves you, okie? Be nice to your mummy so that she can give you a very lively and happy place to grow. Everyone (grandpapa, grandmama, Auntie Addy, Uncle Terence, Auntie Rancy and your many many other uncles and aunties), especially your daddy have been showering a lot of love and attention to your mummy and it is all because of you, little dearie. You must also play your part as part of the family, okie?

This is how our family function. We care for each other all the times and help each other out when needed. You must learn that also cos' you will be part of our family.

Now... in case you have forgotten already... We love you, little dearie. *Muackzzz*

Your First X'mas Gift from Auntie Addy

On December 18, Auntie Addy went to Plaza Singapura for some last minute X'mas shoppings for my friends, colleagues, your daddy, your mummy... basically for everyone that means a lot to me. While I was shopping, I saw this piggy plushie in this shop. When I saw it, I knew right away that I want to buy it for you, my dearie. Without any consideration, I told your grandmama that I am buying my dearie, your first X'mas gift from Auntie Addy.

I am so excited that I told your mummy and also your Uncle Terence and Auntie Rancy. When I showed the piggy plushie to your mummy, I can tell that she is very happy. I know she must be thinking that she can't wait for you to join us to show you your first gift from Auntie Addy. I know that she must be very happy cos' she can't wait to tell you that you will be a well-loved baby by your Uncle Terence and Auntie Addy. Of course not forgetting about grandmama, grandpapa and Auntie Rancy.

Knowing that our little dearie is coming to this world to join our family is the best thing that has happened to me this year... and I know that your coming into our world next year is already the best thing that is going to happen to me in 2007. : )

Blur... That is your Mummy

On December 20, your mummy went for the very first appointment with the gynae. Your mummy has decided that you will be delivered by a senior gynae at KK Hospital - the hospital that most of us were born in.

A trip to the gynae has confirmed that you are 8mm long. Hmmm... 8mm... my baby fingernail is even longer than you... How interesting!

Oh... and why did Auntie Addy say your mummy is blur cos' she gave the wrong date to the doctor and hence we were given the wrong information about you. You are actually 6 weeks and 6 days old as of December 20 and we will be seeing you on guess what... our National Day!!! I sure hope that you will be due as per gynae's advice. That will be really exciting!! Can you imagine if you are born on August 9?? And also born in the year of Pig. Wow... that will be double happiness. Nope, it should be triple happiness cos' we have YOU most importantly!!!
