Baby one month old

Zi An is one month old today. Daddy is on leave preparing for exam on saturday. Rong front teeth came out last week.

Confinement medication

Fourth child already, but still don't know much about confinement practices. So is better for me to record it down!

One of the practice is to take the medicine call Su Ho Wan 苏合丸. The box says is traditionally used for symtomatic relief of cold, cough, to reduce phlegm and for woman after delivery.

In the capsule, there are small black pills of medicine. It is claim to be able to get ride of the "wind" after delivery.

Zi An 3 days old

Rare shot of her open eyes. Today ku ku and cousins came to visit us. My friend chin also came. What a busy day with message lady came too.

Baby finally arrived

The long wait ended on 9 nov 12.24am. Baby finally had enough comfort and was naturally delivered. A fast 2 hour delivery. Phew! Is all over now. The sibling visited us at night.

Zi en helping hand

Sunday went marketing with zi en. She volunteered to carried the flower i just bought for the baby basket. So cute. So got a lot of attention from passer by. The flower reaches her shoulder.

False alarm

Yesterday was a great rush for me as I notice the baby was tightening in the worm and pain kicked in 15 minutes interval for 2 hours. The tightening did not release as the pain went off.

I rush myself to the hospital only to find out that baby is not ready to see the world. Ha! Ha! Then we come back after 2 hours of observation in the delivery suite.

One thing was pleased to me is Rui actually took up the role of man in the house when daddy was on his way home. He volunteered to send me to hospital when daddy was cycling and did not pick up the phone. So we two flap a cab from the street, one minute after boarding the cab, daddy called and we u turn back home. Daddy took over thereafter.

He is a sensible boy now. Mummy proud of you, Rui. Thank you.

Salt dough making

The pre school kids are not going to school after their concert day. So they stay at home and teacher also gave them assignment on dough making. Tze Rong need to hand in the project on any food that make out of flour on Tuesday. He is holding on to his Pancake to be submitted. Zi En just have fun messing around.


This is the Hello Kitty Mini Cake I made for Zi En.
Here we are kneading out the salt dough and colouring to it. The teacher recipe with cooking oil make things very messy and oily. I prefered non cooking oil type, works as well.

Just don't know when baby will come. Contraction is happening every now and then....

Baby can come now, no more request from mummy and sibling anymore.
