Confinement countdown day….18 days to go

I not sure why I feel very ” heavy heart ” during my confinement period this time. I feel so lonely at home although I should be enjoying my confinement period. I can;t eat and sleep for the first one week and somehow have been crying for no reason for that one week.

This week …. today is the 12th day of my confinement, I feeling much better and eat better although every day avery hour seem like no ending to me. I have been calculating hours, minutes and seconds before hubby came back from work. I have been requesting to have Zoey with me every night and hubby need to pick Zoey after work and send her back to my mom’s place every morning before he goes to work. At least I have something to forward to every day and it seems like my feeling are much better now.

As for Chloe, she seems very slow in feeding and she only able to drink 1 1/2 oz of milk every 3 hr. my confinement lady said she very slow in her feeding and need a lot of patience to feed her. Not sure why… Could it be she still premature? Need to check with her Paed Doc this saturday. She is more responsive to our voice and most of the time she is sleeping and seldoms disturb us at night, hopefully this continue….

She have been constipated for the past 3 days and It did really worry me. I did not have past experience on this as when Zoey was back home she already a month old baby and every thing seem smoothly for us. We do not have much problem with Zoey while for Chloe, it is a new experience for us to handle a small premature baby and Chloe was discharged after 5 days….

For Zoey, she was a little bit shocked last friday when she walked into the house and saw Chloe sleeping on the baby basket. I said to her that Chloe is her mei mei and she just look at Chloe with her big eyes. I took her little fingers and touch Chloe cheeks as a gesture of “sayang ” mei mei and I told her that ” Zoey can see mei mei but cannot touch her” she seems to understand this.

However, from saturday onwards, we sees alittle bit changes in her. She become more clingy to me and hubby and request to be carry although all this while she have been doing / playing on her own. Could it be she become jealous of her sister. In order not to have her feeling more jealous of her sister, I decided to spend more time with her when she at home… Hopefully this work out for us….

Zoey @ 25 months

I was a little bit behind on Zoey’s update….

for the past one month, I was in and out the hospital to monitored my pregnancy with Chloe.

At this moment, while I writing this blog, Zoey was with grandpa and grandma and I did not see her for almost 5 days now. Hubby have been travelling back and forth to see her and I really miss my little darling. I wondering how am I going to split my attention between my precious girl..

After some observation, the chart shown ” 1 contraction ” among 4 hrs and therefore Mommy again wheeled back to the ward. Blood pressure remained unchanged.

19/7/2007 – Dr Andy have asked mommy to stayed for another night for observation since the blood pressure remained unchanged. Daddy said okay. In the afternoon Mommy again wheeled to the labour room for CTG as mommy again feel the contraction pain. Dr andy said It seems like a braxton hick contraction so again mommy was wheeled to the ward with instruction to monitor any pain / contraction. That night, Mommy lost all the apetite and only took some egg tart and swiss roll as dinner. Feels very uneasy and tired and sleepy…. slept around 1000pm. blood pressure around that time was around 120/90

I started to feel very very uneasy around my tummy and the feeling of vomiting getting stronger. The nurse immediately wheeled me to the labour room and call Dr andy. When my blood pressure reached 150/110, Dr andy decided to performed an emergency c -section and I was immediately wheeled to operating theathre around 4am. As hubby was not with me, I have to signed all the necessary documentation.
