Everyone was looking forward to meet Jeanne…
Julian brought along the toy he had chosen for Jeanne and was eager to meet and give it to her…
Finally he can carry her…

Julian seems to be very happy with his new companion and proud with his new status. He would often tell us ” I am not Ju Ju, I am kor kor!” or “I am a good big brother!”
These are the precious moments we had managed to capture so far…
Crying on his tummy early in the morning, a forgiving brother.
Chose a toy for her taking care that it is not something small and sharp…
SHe don’t know to hold the toy yet so he turned to talk to her instead.
Talk, talk, talk…
Lying down looking at her face…
Holding her hand…
He thinks mei mei is sick…
Bathing her together with daddy…
Learning to swaddle her, his way…
Soaking with her…
She looking at him…
Nap together…
His favourite is placing her lie on his lap…
Eensy Winsy Spider…
Her head keeps “falling”…
She is very heavy!
Introducing Baby Jeanne
The moment of happiness and relief…
Her first cry…
Her weight…
Her first garment…
The hands that carried Jeanne to the world… Dr Douglas Ong…
Thank God for blessing us with another child to our family, bringing Jeanne and me through this pregnancy safe and healthy, and for answering our prayers for an easy after birth…
The big day of arrival is nearing… Nesting syndrome is setting in in the family…
Thanks to Cynthia and Joyce for all the hand me down nice baby clothes, you had helped us fill up Jeanne’s wardrobe. Also thanks to Karen for the pairs of pretty shoes for Jeanne…
The mass washing…
Ju sorting out hangers for himself and Jeanne…
Daddy added a new pole into Julian’s wardrobe at Ju’s level so that he can help himself with his own clothes.
Ju hanging all his clothes onto the new pole…
Spring cleaning… Haha.. Thanks to daddy and Ju’s hardwork! I got to rest on the couch taking photos while the work is going on…
Kitchen cleaning and lining the stove with foil to prepare for oily cooking during confinement…
We reshuffled the furnitures in Ju’s room so that there will be an empty area for Jeanne to rest while kor kor works…
After a day of hard work, we found Ju fallen asleep on the floor like this… Thank you Ju…
Ju practising to dress baby on his doll…
Next… wait…
Me : Ju, where did you get your mosquito bites on your legs from?
Ju : I got 2 mosquito bite my legs. Then I go to the hospital and then doctor ask me. Then I say the mosquitoes are flying, and then the bees chase them. Then the mosquitoes fly to me.
John and I bursted out into laughter!
Finally uploaded all of Jeanne’s scan pictures into laptop… So far she is always sleeping during scan time…
29 weeks old
31 weeks old
33 weeks old
At 36 weeks, Jeanne was in Footling breech position (standing), Gynae raised it as a concern and arranged for a Caesarian on 9th Nov (38wks). He said I goes into labour and water bag break, umbilical cords will be out first and there will only be 20mins from then to get baby out. Prayed and tried out suggestions given by birth instructor to help baby turn.
37 weeks old
Jeanne turned. Head is down but not engaged. Gynae and birth instructor said it is not easy and not likely that baby will engage so soon because of slacker uterine muscles. Gynae kept the Caesarian appt just in case Jeanne turned again.
Pray that Jeanne will stay head down and I can have a natural birth…
Yesterday, Julian fell outside our house door and had a small open wound on his knee.
Bedtime, halfway through reading a story to him, he began to talk to himself…
Ju: God, today I fell down. I pray that you can make the floor not rough. Make it into soft floor OK. So that when I fall down I will not be hurt…
