An update from your daddy brings happy news.. You started on your feeding since Monday. However little is the amount, it is still a good start. On Monday, you were fed 1ml of milk every 2 hours. Yesterday, it had increased to 2ml of milk in every 2 hours. Poor baby, you must have been starving for the past 1 week. No worries... you can start enjoying your mummy's breast milk from now on. Your daddy and mummy have taken great effort to ensure that you have sufficient breast milk once you start on your feeding.
Your mummy started trying from Day 2 to make sure that the flow will be sufficient for you and your daddy has been bringing the milk down to the hospital everyday without fail. We were all just waiting for the day that you can start your feeding and start putting on some weight. Since your first feeding, you have consistently put on 20g each day. Your weight shoud be at 1.290kg as of yesterday. Remember to eat more in the days to come and we will be waiting for the day that you weigh 2kg.
Everyone in the families is waiting for the day that we can see you. Don't make us wait too long, okie? : )

Jayden, Our Brave Warrior!
A quote from your mummy (the power of mother-child connection):
"It's Jayden who taught me to be strong. He has persisted so much and come so far. No way am I gonna let him down now."
Baby Jayden, you had been scaring us enough for the past 8 months. Please stop doing that. You are young but Aunt Addy is not. Sooner or later, I will die of heart-attack caused by you... :P
You were born on 16 June 2007, Saturday, at 10:01am. You were 2 months ahead of your due date so your weight is only at 1.230kg. You managed to frighten all of us 1 hour before you are born though. Your mummy was admitted into the hospital cos' her BP was terribly high and your gynae said your heartbeat was weak. Your gynae wanted your mummy to be admitted for observation. Who is to know that at 9am, your mummy called your daddy to inform him that the doc is going to operate on her to bring you out. We were all sleeping when we received the call about you coming out prematurely. We were shocked out of our sleeps. I rushed down with Grandmama. Your daddy rushed down with your Granny, Uncle Terence and Aunt Rancy. Aunt Nicole rushed down with Greataunt and Aunt Doreen. Aunt Diana and Aunt Eve also came down after Bro Darius finished his class. We were all praying so hard that everything will be fine. There is nothing else that we want more. You can never imagine how happy we were when we found out that both your mummy and you are safe and sound. Everyone was just smiling from head to toe... :D
For the next few days, we were just busy visiting your mummy. Please do not misunderstand that we were not concern about you cos' we are not visiting you. It is because you are in the incubator in ICU and only your daddy & mummy and grandparents are allowed to visit you. In fact, I 'play cheat' and wheel your mummy down to see you on your 2nd day. When I wheeled her into the ICU to your cube, I managed to catch a glimpse of you before they chased me out. : ( I remember you were squinching your face with your eyes closed. I also remember that you have really long fingers and I mean REEEAAAALLLYY long. I bet you are going to be 1 tall guy when you grow up which I am glad for you...
Last night we received not so good news from the doctor. Doc said that seems like you are unable to get rid of your waste which is causing your tummy to be very bloated! I can see that your daddy and mummy were heartbroken, especially when the doc said that an operation might be needed to solve the problem. Our darling Jayden is only 2 days old and have to go through a major operation (by your standard). We can't bear for you to go through the pain. :_(
By early afternoon today, doc confirmed that an ops for you is inevitable and has to be carried out immediately. Your ops was scheduled in the evening after ops of another 3 babies. Your daddy and mummy were so worried. Grandmama and Granny were feeling the pain that you had to go through the ops. Aunt Addy, Aunt Rancy, Aunt Diana, Aunt Doreen & 4th Greataunt went down to the hospital to give you our moral support. All your greataunt, uncles and aunts who were not present were equally concern about you too. We were giving them constant updates to let them know the latest situation.
At 7:30pm, your daddy and mummy received a call from the doc to inform that the ops is over and wants to see them. After about 30mins, they came down and delivered happy news...
Darling Baby Jayden,
We are very happy that you had won yet another battle. We know it is not easy for you but each time, you had made us really proud of you. This is only the 3rd day of your life but you had been through what Aunt Addy has never been through and I salute you for your courage. I strongly believe that you are going to be a very strong boy from now on and you will fight and win every battles like a warrior...
We love you for being such a brave boy...

Baby Cot For Baby Jayden
Baby Jayden, Aunt Addy has bought you your first bed in your life... :D
Aunt Addy has always known that she would want to buy something for you to welcome you into our family but I did not have any idea what to get you until 2 weeks ago. I was looking around for something to buy for you when I chanced by baby cot. That is when I knew that is what I can buy for you. I started shopping around, with Aunt Diana's help, to look for one that is relatively good and stable for you.
We went to the Motherhood fair in Expo yesterday and with Aunt Diana and Uncle Don's experience, I decided to buy a white colour pine wood cot from the fair. Its usual price was $400+ but at the fair, it is going at $229. With an addition of a mattress, it comes up to $269 for the whole thing. Like most of the cot, you can use this as a bed even when you are slightly older.
I actually have an idea to paint the white frame of your cot with nice, cute picture but Aunt Addy is never good at drawings so I guess we shan't 'spoil' the cot with my 'artistic' drawings... : )
This looks a bit like your cot minus all the accessories inside of cos... or do they just look the same to me?? :P

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... ; )

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...
