As busy preparing for the full month celebration, also, spending time with the 2 royalties, I've not managed to blog much. More things brewing in my stove, so will update soon when things are ready. Have a great remaining of the week. Technorati Tags: Family

seth benjamin

YES! Finally, he can pronounce his name. Seth was pretend playing with his imaginary friend on the mobile phone this morning. Then I heard him saying "Seth Benjamin" . I thought I heard wrongly....and he repeated it again, and again....haha.... exciting to hear your own kid calling his own name. So proud of him, able to pronounce his name when he is 25 months old. :) Technorati Tags: ourblessedseth

Overcomer

We brought Grace to the PD today. Just this morning, when she's asleep, I placed her on the reclining rocker. Had my lunch and while I was washing up the dishes, heard that she has a few coughs. Then another few coughs followed, thought it could be Seth's coughing as well, so didn't check out what happened till I was done with the dishes. When I walked to the living room, nearly had a shocked. As Grace actually vomited the feed I have gave her earlier, her shirt was soaking slimy, even the rocker's cover is and dripping. AIYO! So heartache. She kinda of vomited her phlegm out in the process, which to me is probably a good way to expel the nasty phelgm. Olive Tree came back home around 1pm, the wait for Grace's turn in the clinic was about 2.5hours so we left home around 3pm so that we do not have to wait for the longest time in the clinic. Dr Lilian, gave Grace a check and said that her lungs are cleared. Checking her throat can see there was phlegm. She prescribed

Let it all out!

Grace develops reflux for the past 2 days. Wonder what's the cause of the reflux, if my milk is oversupply or is it due to the strong let-down. As when I am breasfeeding her, she'll kinda choke herself when the let-down kicks in. I was thinking it's just a case of choking. This morning, while we were still asleep, Grace projectile vomited and I got a shocked! Quickly cleaned her up. Realised that she has some nose dirt to be cleaned as they seems to block her breathing. They look a bit greenish-yellowish, wonder if its normal as this the first time we clean her nose since she's back home from hospital. Whole day, she had cough a few times, though not consistent but always when I am bfg her or after her feed. It really worries me, as Seth just recovered from his flu virus. Was told to isolate both of them, but Seth's very clinging and nightmares almost every night. Moreover now, Olive Tree's sick as well. URRRRGH! I feel very helpless. We got to bring Grace to th

When will it end?

To wake up almost every half an hour, with the incessant cries of Seth, nightmares, night terrors. Gosh! It has really been very trying. It was only yesterday that it seems he has got over the nightmares but tonight it started again. With the constant crying, "throw away, oh, no. Cannot go, ......" his dialogue in his nightmares tell of what he has experienced in the day. Seeing him in such a torture, pains my heart. I missed the days when he sleeps really soundly throughout the nights. He is a happy boy. But now? Everything changes, he can turn so moody for no apparent reason?!! Yes, I know, he is going through his phase of understanding and controlling his moods, displaying his temperaments and exploring his boundaries. IT takes a toll on us, as his parents. Olive Tree fell sick again. Needless to say, with all the HANGING around together during the last week when Seth was having his flu virus. I would not want to see him falling sick as he just recovered from his ailments

Daddy with Seth & Grace

Latest family photo

This being our very first family photo after the addition of new member!! GRACE! :) It was taken today at Adrian's clinic. We had a good chat on our coping with 2 kids, my conditions after delivery, of course, Adrian as usual, encouraging us to try for no. 3, no. 4!! hahha... He's like the Gov. spokesperson... AS I would hope to, but let's say children is a lifetime investment, you can't get out of it and the investment equates to TIME! With the 2 little kiddos now, we are contented. Thank God for the precious priceless gifts. Also, Thank God, for his righteousness and patience. Sharing with you the scriptures I've read: I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high. Psalm 7:17 The fruit of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever. Isaiah 32:17 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Matthew 5:6 But seek

Postpartum Syndrome

Ya, I am suffering from it. I guess I can't help feeling so. With the elder one being so sick with fever, cough, runny nose, eyes with greenish mucus, red eyes...what have you!?!?! With a husband, who is so muddle-headed, lost his daughter dried umbilical cord, don't even know where he keeps it. The more I think about it, the more I am angered. As he simply love to stuff the things here and there, afterwards, he can't find the things he has stuffed!!!! It happens one too many times already. I blew my top. I feel like crying!!!! OUT LOUD!!! But with my mom around, I can't do it. Strong streams of anger and anguish and anxiety and so mixed emotional feelings, all in me that I need to find an avenue to blew them off!!! Oh ya, it all has to happen on my birthday! GREAT! Anyway, who cares a dime for my birthday. I need to pay for a loan my bro took, fork out the most expensive PRESENT I ever gave so as he can repay back later and who knows when. I am in my most bitchy mood n

Going Craze over... LEGO

It all started with my Boss, who came to visit me in the hospital. He bought a Police Car LEGO for Seth. Nice. Then, Olive Tree went shopping during the weekdays last week, and bought, a Fire-Truck, a ambulance. So mommy me, put all of them together and had fun doing LEGO! Aiyo, in my lifetime, I've never really piece up a complete LEGO before!! So what an accomplishment for me! All these for Seth. And... on Saturday, 1st Sept, 2 days before I gave birth to Grace, Jon, Marg, Olive Tree, Seth and I went to COMEX! Just the urge to buy a LEGO External HardDisk that I've been eyeing for the longest time. Ok, From Hardware Zone, it stated that 350GB LEGO RED External HDD was selling at S$159. I was thinking, "really good buy wor!" So evening came and we went to squeeze with the crowd to get my hands on the harddisk. ALAS! When we reach the Ban Leong Booth, what was shown, 250GB External Harddisk selling at S$159. It was a typo in HardwareZone! Darn! Anyway, I chose design

Adapting

to juggle between a toddler and a newborn. It's not easy but I am learning and trying to be as "competent" as possible. If there's such word for being a mother! It has been a week since the birth of Grace. Everyday turns out to be a challenge, for Olive Tree and me. Seth is very sticky to Olive Tree. It's so super-glued that every meal, Seth would want him to carry, whining non-stop.... It kinds of really get the nerves as he refuses to eat, refuses to be "obedient". He can goes into a frenzy, shouting, banging his car, throwing his toys away and then said that he is a naughty boy. *shake head* His tantrums can just turn up suddenly and caught us off guard. We wonder why. Whenever I blew my top, I would caution myself not to overdo it. Which I did on one such occasion on last Saturday night. I was fuming when he just refuses to eat and all ways were used to coax him by my mom and Olive Tree. So end up, I picked him up, and put him in the toilet, wanting

a new place to worship

Got to know from my bro that New Creation Church and Capitaland is going to co-build a new entertainment hub in Buona Vista, besides the MRT Station. It's great to have a place that can house 5,000 congregation!! Read more of the news here Technorati Tags: Celebrate

Birth Story of Grace Charissa Goh

Cute Little Wink from our Princess. Day 2, Grace with her chubby look. Birth Story 3rd Sept 2007 4.40pm - We went to Adrian's Clinic, was an impromptu visit as I just wanna check if my water bag was leaking. We had a late lunch at Subway, United Square. 5.00pm - Adrian did a check on my cervix and it is 3cm dilated, Grace still looks so comfortable in my womb sleeping. So we deduced probably, she's not going to come out that night. We were still jokingly saying that we'll see how it goes for the next few days, so I scheduled 7th Sept 2007 for the next appointment. 5.30pm - Left Adrian's clinic, felt a bit of cramps but since I was having periodic contractions, some cramps for the past few days, I felt it was dismissible. Edward said we probably go home that night after dinner at my mom's. I was eager to go home too, as there was an ITQ (online quotation) to be submitted by 2359hrs that night. Have told boss that I will submit, though am already on leave. :( 6.15pm -
