We had our 3rd visit at Mt. E. and for the very first time we heard our little one’s response – 160 beats/min heart beat. Oh yes, our little one is healthy. We can also see our little one, finally. Its about 1cm big for 7 weeks old. That’s real big comparing with what our little one was when the little one was a warrior…… ha ha, little one, say HELLO!!!

According to Wiki, by little one should look something like this:

Errr......

Anyway,the printed and then scanned image I attached here wasn't very clear to see. But I swore that I could see the little one’s head, body, and yes his tail...... Hehe, my baby is normal so far, PHEW!!!

I would be asking Dr. Ong for a soft copy of that image and heart beat audio, if possible.

Today is also the day that I started my little one's diary. Hope I can keep that going.

Felt exciting as tomorrow was our next scheduled visit. We were expecting to heard our little one for the first time….. just can’t wait.....

Other than that, it was also a normal day......

6th Week

No special update about Baby and the little one. I wandered when could I start hearing the little one. Where should I get a stethoscope? Other than that, it was a normal day.

Housework is something that I couldn't handle myself. We arranged a part-time cleaner to help cleaning up our place on weekly basis. Baby got the lobang from Caroline. That was a first trial.

The cleaner lady was talkative, I do mean non-stop one if she wanted to. She was suppose to clean for 4 hours for S$10/hour. We are okay with her and we decided to let her cleaning our place every Friday. We handed our key to her.

In the afternoon, baby continued resting at home. I took a break and checkout those new cars at Ubi area.....

Transport Arrangement

The forwarder drove a van. The journey was short but baby had problem climbing the van. We decided not to take that van anymore.

Baby continued resting at home. Doing nothing but felt extremely boring at home....

Baby decided to tell her colleague, Chun Fei. The good news was soon spreaded within her company….. the bright side of announcing it: the useful information started to fload into our mind…..

One good suggestion was about baby's daily travel to work. Baby contacted her company’s forwarder, who can ride baby to work. They arranged a trial ride to work on Wednesady.

5th Week

There were lots to think about Baby’s pregnancy…… The first thing I had to consider was her transport to work.

The straight forward answer is to drive baby to work. But mine is an off-peak car..... so need to change it to normal car if I want to drive baby to work....... another option was to change to a new car.

We headed to Mt. E. for a second visit. Baby had a second scan. The water bag is growing bigger, which was good. Still can’t see the little one......

A blood clot of a bigger size than the water bag was discovered. According to Dr. Ong, it was probably the cause of the brownie discharge. Dr advised that if could be serious if not being treated properly.

The good thing was those discharge was only brown in color. It was considered okay, but baby need lots of rest. To stabalise the pragnency, the doctor gave baby a hormone injection and some pills to take....

The injection was done by Ching Xia and it was painful. Pitty Baby, sayang….. at that moment, I felt weird that a good friend of ours was doing the injection for my baby…..

Dr. Ong gave Baby a three days MC and advised baby to have bed-rest as much as possible.

It was a torture. Baby called Ching Xia again to slot us in for another appointment……..

Still had brownie discharge, just not sure if it was really alright….. Shall we see Dr. Ong …

It was a fine day after confirming that our little one is on the way. I just can’t wait to tell everyone that I am going to be a father, but some say it is better not to announce yet at the first trimester.

Everything went smooth on my side until I got back home. Baby was crying because she had some brownie discharge. She was so afraid that something happen to the little one. We had been worried. But Ching Xia told us that it is common. As long as there was no reddish discharge, it shouldn't be a problem. But we was wandering.... Not that we don't trust Ching Xia, but we were just worried.

4th Week: The Confirmation

We woke up early, and we took MRT to Mt. E. for our first visit. Finally, we met our gynae, Dr. Douglas Ong. Will post his picture when I got it.



Baby was lying down beside a Ultrasound scanner behind a curtain, so I can’t see her. Dr. Ong scanned her body and confirm the existance of our little one.


We can see that the “water bag” is formed in baby’s body, but we can’t see the baby as yet because it is still too small. Probably one of the dot among those noise in the picture.

Anyway, we agreed that we should let our family knows about it. I will form mine and she will inform hers.


My mom was the first, besides doctor and ourselves, to get this news. I finally got her a “Chu Bi Sun” (cute grandson in HockKian)....

The Discovery

Baby mensus hadn’t came yet. Our feeling told us that baby have to do a check up at the clinic. We went to a neighbourhood clinic to do the check up.

I was waited outside the doc’s room with my PSP accompanied. Quite nervous, but the game did a good job to ease me. Just a shortwhile, baby came out from the doc’s room, but walking towards the wash room with a small container. Baby came back to me and waited for the doc’s next call for the test result.

The nurse called. Baby noted the nurse giggle…. Hehe, I was just concentrated with my PSP… Finally, baby came out again. She looked very calm and she just sitted beside me. I turned to her (with my game paused), she knocked her head. I think I felt a little exciting, but only lasted for a while only......

To be doubly confirm, we decided to visit a gynae. To me, the ideal one would be Ching Xia’s clinic, and Mt. E. is really convenient for me, i.e. just across the road from my office. But baby felt that it is weird to have close friend nursing her. I would agree with her and to avoid arguments, I leave it to her ….. :P

Finally, she decided to SMS Ching Xia to slot us in for a morning visit. Ching Xia arranged a 9am appointment for us.

I was at KL for business trip. It was also Grandmom’s birth day party. 83 (Chinese one), I remembered. Auntie asked me when are we expecting our little one, I said, I don’t know, but soon….. a pretty common answer :P

New Year Count Down. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I can’t believe that we waited there for 5 solid hours (or more) just for the fireworks and countdown. But it was great and we felt happy that we did that, especially after we knew that we were not alone…..
