That day...

From Mummy:

That day, it was 30th October 2008, a Thursday and Elliot was having a Halloween Party in class and I was supposed to help the Mom who was the volunteer for the event. I wanted to be there very badlyas it was the first party Elliot is attending in school and I wanted to be there for him. Though I was having contractions, which is very normal, some would call it Braxton Hicks, which means fake contractions, and it usually occurs near the due date, Its not painful, just minor discomfort.

After I got home from the party, the contraction continues and was getting closer... and when it doesn't go away and interval between each contraction gets closer... it could mean labour is about to start. I was still contemplating if I should go to the hospital or wait, and maybe if I can have my dinner before I go in. As usually I won't be allowed to eat till I delivered... and who knows how long I would have to wait, when I had a 16hrs + labour when I had Elliot... 16 hrs without food is a torture for a pregnant woman and I am still considered pregnant as the baby was not out yet.

Anyway... I decided to go to the hospital when the contraction was about 5mins apart.. finally...Finally after much persuasion from my friend on msn. And yes, I was still able to msn at that time. When we were about to leave... we couldn't start the car and spent another 20-30mins trying to find help.

Reach the hospital at 530pm and the nurses check on my contraction and I did need to be hospitalise as I was going into labour soon. After all the Eeee and Ahhh... Meimei Emily was finally borned on 31st October 2008, 0030am.

Out on a shopping trip with grandma, xiao gu and jie jie from Singapore

What I did in school?

Every week, teacher teaches us different alphabets and numbers. We sing and dance on Tuesday and Wednesday, and on Thursday, we attend chapel. Sometimes teacher will switch on some educational programs for us to watch too. Every month, we learn a new colour, and we even have to dress up in that colour for school. We also get to play outside at the playground when the weather is good. If its raining or cold, we'll stay inside the school and head for the gym to play. My favourite time in school is snack and lunch time! Teacher give us yummy snacks and my favourite juice to drink during snack time and Mummy made my lunch whenever I go to school.



Teacher leaves a note in my folder for Mummy and Daddy everyday, to let them know how I did in school for the day. In this way, they would knowif I have eaten all my lunch or behave well in school. Teacher even tell Mummy and Daddy she wanna bring my home!



I love school! School is fun!

BBQ at The Summit...

I think Daddy got tired of Mummy's cooking, so he suggested doing a BBQ outside our garage using the pit that was left there since we were here, about 1 and a half yrs ago. So we quickly drive down to Walmart to get the stuff and prep for our 1st family BBQ :)

While Mummy is away...

From Mummy:
As meimei will be arrving soon, I am really worried that Elliot's Dad would be clueless about what to feed Elliot, how to pack his lunch for school, what time he naps.. etc when I am away in the hospital. So I typed out a Elliot's Everyday Guide - A Survival Guide especially for my dear husband, hoping that he would be able to refer to it whenever he needs and save him some of Elliot's unnecessary meltdowns.

The manual is basically about
1) Elliot's meals: what he would usually eat as he is becoming more and more picky during meals. what to pack for his lunch when he goes school...etc

2)his milk/snack time: how to much to make for his milk...

3) nap/sleep time

4) the items that needs to be in his backpack for school.. etc

So I am crossing my fingers... hoping all will be well when I am away :)
