Baby's room and accessories

These pictures are taken weeks ago. Bought most of the essential stuffs for baby Rayhan from malaysia (cheaper). His room is cool greenish blue color. The shelf is from ikea @ $45. Cheap cheap...next time when baby Rayhan is bigger and has more stuffs, then will get him better shelf. The baby cot's mattress set is very expensive because daddy wants to give baby Rayhan the best. The side cushioning is very thick and bouncy kind. Bought the combi stroller from Baby Kingdom at a discounted price together with the mattress set. Simple room. Now waiting for the seahorse single sofa bed to arrive (to be used by the confinement lady and next time for guest).

27 September 2006 - Baby crochet shoes

Since i started this blog, so must upload more pix to share with everyone. So i took out my digital camera and took pix of the pair of crochet baby shoes i finished last week. This shoe color matches baby's room color. Hee...Not enough cotton thread to make a hat (same design) for baby. But okay lar...shoes are cute enough. Hope my baby son is not too big and is able to wear this pair of shoes on his day of discharge from hospital. So anyone wants to place order? hahaha....

26 September 2006 - Baking birthday cake for baby's daddy

In the morning went for gynae checkup. Lied to my husband that i want to eat strawberry and so we went to the fruit shop @ mount E to buy a box of strawberry. Wanted to get blueberry and raspberry but the shop only ordered one box for someone. So bo pian, only managed to get the strawberry. After the gynae checkup, went home and sent my husband off for work. Quickly i went online to copy down the recipe from hersheys.com. While baking the cake, i realised i lacked icing sugar. So bo pian had to go to IMM to get it. Bought prune juice (cannot output recently), icing sugar and a pair of imitation croc slippers (in bright pink) @ $9.90 because my slippers (bought from Japan @ SDG$75 from my twin sis) was stolen as i placed it outside my house. Rushed back home as i set my cake to bake for an hour which actually according to the recipe only needs to bake for 30-35mins...the moment i opened the door i could smell the chocolate cake aroma. Luckily the cake wasn't burnt. I finished making the cake and frosting by 4pm and quickily took a nap. Woke up @ 5.30pm and quickily spread the frosting over the cake and decorated it with huge strawberry and kept it in the vegetable compartment of the fridge so that my husband would not see it. Came back after having dinner @ mother-in-law place and i took out the cake around 10.30pm with candled lit up. My husband was surprised to see the birthday cake (his birthday is on 28 September but i only have today to bake it). I took pictures of him in pyjamas cutting the cake...very cute (cannot share the pix...personal viewing only hahaha). The birthday cake is a success =), my husband likes the cake...yummy.

26 September 2006 - Gynae Checkup

Today went for gynae checkup @ mount E. Before checkup, went to visit my friend whose wife has given birth to a princess (their 3rd child, first 2 are sons) and they name her SHAYNA. The baby gal is 3.53kg (estimated birth weight is 3.2kg). Both mommy and baby are doing fine. Had a long chat with them before i went up for my checkup. Waited almost 1 1/2 hrs before we got our turn for detailed scanning. I requested Doc Kek to check my baby son's hands/legs/mouth to make sure he's normal. Our baby son is looking chubby and esp. his foot! Doc Kek said he's normal and looking good. And the estimated weight today is 2.86kg (35 weeks and 3 days). Doc Kek said estimated birth weight is 3.4kg. Doc Kek also explained that the redness on my legs are called FLUSHING due to hormone change. The day before i accidentally slipped and fell on my bum while walking down the stairs. I told Doc Kek and she said baby is okay and asked me to be more careful. Kind of scary accident when i fell, i was in dazed after i fell and sat on the stair. My mind went blank and was so scared and held my stomach tightly. Luckily after the checkup, Doc Kek reassured that baby is doing fine. Heng ah...
