I once explained to QQ, about human reproduction and referred to ovum in woman as “egg”. Not into very detail, just enough to satisfy her curiosity at that time.
She has already got 2 brothers, and no matter how many dolls I get her, I know there is nothing that could fill the missing piece [...]
Unbelievable! It seems still like yesterday when I carried the boys in my stomach and now they are going to be 2 soon. Giving birth to my twin boys was a scary experience as I was wheeled into the operation for c-sect when they refuse to come out (thanks to some silly inteference) although I [...]
Have been wanting to do this, clear my storage and finally had a chance to do so. My maid helped me to sort out all the maternity wear and also some nursing bras (due to very bad size shrinkage) yesterday. Gosh, taking pictures of each of them and then measure the sizing is really a [...]
It has been almost five months since I gave birth to the boys. Unfortunately my stomach now still bulge out, and I look as if I am a 3 months pregnant. During my confinement month, I was able to get the Malay massage lady to come over to help me with the massage. But after [...]

QQ and her “Kor-kor”
First Pregnancy
As my bump was sharp forward, I thought I carried a boy during my first pregnancy. We started to call the baby in tummy “Baby Zhen” until the fifth month! (Not that I favor baby boy more, but I was hoping my girl will get a Kor-kor’s love as I do [...]
So nice to be able to capture all the tender moments of our children, especially when they are babies, right? Jazzmint and Sue is so kind to come from such a distance to our place to capture the first few days of my twins. Enjoy the rest of the photos here.
Benefits of having a CL (confinement lady) during confinement
someone to manage the household
gets hot steamy home cooked confinement food
I get to “order” food that I want to eat
someone expert to manage the baby
mummy gets to sleep and rest better
bath water well prepared
laze around on my home theater seating
I am lucky that both my CL (confinement [...]
Before I was discharged, the doctors talked to me, asking me about my family planning. When I told them I have not discuss with my hubby and decided, they insist that we let them know our decision before I can discharged.
So when hubby came to visit, they discuss with my hubby again on this [...]
I am really grateful that I manage to bring this twin pregnancy to 38 weeks 2 days, and they boys are at least matured to a desired weight when they are born.
They only regret I have now is the delivery process, which I believe can at least save me and the boys from a traumatic [...]
de moment they were born
Jie-jie came visiting both di-di
Huh…c-sect is really painful (during & especially after). Am still almost an invalid now, and the brothers are taking turn WAILING like mad behind.
I’ll do a quick update what happened to me on that “special evening”!

Twin Pregnancy @ 37weeks, 3 days
Don’t know whether to be happy or worried, the boys still show no sign of coming out yet. Read this:
A typical, single pregnancy lasts about 40 weeks, but a twin pregnancy often lasts between 35 to 37 weeks. Nearly half of all twins are born prematurely (before 37 weeks).
Now I [...]
Check up today: 2 days to 37 weeks
After waiting for so long, having so much worry that the twins will arrive earlier than expected (36weeks), I finally walked through the journey and made it so far. Besides feeling tired and heavy, I am used to the discomfort by now.
Findings:
Twin 1 has engaged, but head still [...]
Reaching the 36th week
Haha….I am still here, able to update my blog.
Went for my antenatal check up yesterday at HUKM and was hooked up to CTG (to check heartbeats and contraction) for more than 1 hour. Suppose 10mins can kau tim (settle) the check, but these 2 fellas, kept on [...]
2 more days to reach 36th week
Am I in labour or what?
Today, I feel lots of “tightening/Braxton Hicks/contraction/hardening“. Oh dear, horrible me, can you believe that until now I still cannot differentiate what it is. But since there is no pain, and I am still not panting like those in [...]
