After a few months of discussion, we finally decided to name BB JL, Sheldon. We will not call him Prince Sheldon becos his Dad and Mom are not King and Queen. He has to grow up to be a matured and responsible man. I dont want him to grow up with “fantasy fairy tales” mindset which are nvr true in the reality of this world.
If I have a daughter, I seriously dont mind pampering her like a princess but not a son. I heard this sentence many years ago and I cant agree more with it.
儿子要好好教, 因为他长大了要去照顾别人家的女儿.
Origin and Meaning of the Name Sheldon
Gender: Boy
Origin: English
Meaning: Protected hill; deep valley
Sorry I know this post is a little late. After all the emotional roller coaster I have been going thru these few days, I thought it would be good tt I let myself settle down before continue blogging.
Nurse Chan from NUH called me on Friday to let me know tt the express test result is a good one. I immediately inform families and friends who have been mentally supporting me these few days.
Once again I really like to tks everyone for your support, encouragement and prayer, its becos of you guys we could hang in there stronger.
Will keep everyone update abt the progress abt Bb JL.
As mentioned, I went for the Amniocentesis yesterday, the pain was far from what I imagined and expected.
Luckily we reached 1 hr before our appt time cos there were lots of forms to be filled up. We even need to go for a mini counseling abt Amniocentesis before we were call in for the scan and test.
Now I know why I was refer to NUH instead of TMC, I was refer to A.Professor Biswas, the Head of O&G department, I search online and realise that he is the specialist to go to for any genetic defect or disorder.
The nurses, doctor and A.Professor Biswas were very patience and detailed abt the scan. A.Professor Biswas even help to get the specialist we are suppose to see next wed but unfortunately she was in a midst of a surgery and couldnt attend to us.
Despite the pain, I was asked to stay still until they finish drawing the amnio fluid, seriously I dont know how I survived it. Luckily HB was allowed to be with me thru out the whole test. I cant even walk straight after the whole test and what make me more speechless was Daddy to be at the clinic didnt bother to give up seats to me after seeing in this state. Luckily a lady in her mid 40s at the other end of the clinic spotted me and gave up her seat to me.
I was given 3 days hospitalization leave and I can opt to either stay at home or hospital, I chose to stay home. To make thing worse I puke on my way home.
Every movement makes the wound hurts, even simple movement like breathing and peeing seems so painful. It didnt help when BB JL cant stay still and keep punching my wound.
Today was slightly better, Im able to move ard more and hopefully by tml the pain will be gone.
My cousin drop by my place today for lunch and even bought me bread for tea break. So sweet of her!!!
Anyway I feel so sorry for my colleagues who have to handle my job due to my sudden hospitalization leave. They are probably the nicest colleague on earth, they even sms me not to worry abt the work and tk a good rest.
Due to the urgency of the matter, Dr Wong schedule me an express + full test so that we can have the result in 48 hours instead of the usual 12 days. We have 23 pairs of chromosome in our body, the major genetic disorder are trisomy 13, 18 and 21. We will know these 3 pairs of chromosome result by tml, the remaining 20 pair which are usually not affected will be out in 12 days.
The whole bill came close to $900, due to the nature of the test we were allowed to deduct $550 from medisave and the rest by cash.
NUH will call me tml and inform me the result, I pray to GOD that BB JL is safe from all the genetic disorder.
While Im typing this, I rcv a encouraging sms from E. Tks Babe, you have been very supportive thru out my pregnancy and I tks god for a friend like you. In fact thru this incident, it really make me see who are those pple who I can truly call FRIEND!!!
Tks so much for being so supportive and encouraging!!!
A picture say a thousand words, tt how big my wound is, I leave it to u guys to imagine how thick tt needle is.
My pregnancy has been so far a joyful one despite the crazy fatigue, MS and etc. Never would I imagine I would walk out breaking down after a scan session.
Have anyone cried so badly till the vision was blur for the rest of the day?
Did any parents sang nursery rhyme to your little one with tears in your eyes?
Did any MTB cried when BB hiccups? (No one knows how relieve I felt to know tt BB JL is drinking well tt he hiccups)
I spent these few days like years……….. HB told me GOD will nvr give us something we cannot handle, how I wish he didnt trust us so much.
I spend most of my time searching for relevant information and read up as much as possible. HB was right, there is no point asking what went wrong, instead we should channel our energy to remedy the issue.
God give me a tough battle ahead but Im blessed with supportive friends and family members. I Thank You all for all the kind words and supports. Most didnt ask me what happen, they just offer their best concern. We will hang in there even stronger!!!
BB JL, pls JIAYOU together!!! There are lots of love ones out there cheering for you despite knowing your condition, you will be fill with unconditional love and they are looking forward to your arrival.
Tml, I’ll be going for the amnio test. This is 1 test many MTB drag, it’s not becos of the pain, it’s becos BB have a chance of contracting infection and 0.5% of miscarriage. No MTB in this world would risk even 0.00001% to let anything happen to their BB.
My Mom and friends told me that the amnio test will be a very painful one. Dear God if you are hearing this, doesnt matter what pain I have to go thru, as long as BB JL is well and good, I dont mind going thru any pain for a hundred, thousand or even a million times.
Pls continue to keep us in your prayer. Thank You Very Much for being with us.
Yesterday 5mths detailed scan result wasn’t a very good one….. We will have to go for another test and see another specialist to determine the seriousness of the whole problem. I will update everyone once everything is finalise.
Meanwhile, pls pray for BB JL and pray for more strength to bless upon us for the battle ahead.
Her new idol is BB JL and she is so Crazy abt him………
She bought a 4 tier toyogo cabinet for BB JL’s belonging. I heard that she bought hell lot of BB stuffs and she can even tell me she think of stocking up diapers now. I went shopping with her yesterday, the amount of thing she grab for BB JL is…… We spent another $50 for BB JL’s clothings and those clothings are on sales.
My mom had even wash the BB clothing…… My sis thought she went to the wrong home after seeing all the BB clothing hanging outside for drying.
She was the one who tell me “aiya no need to buy so many BB stuff”, see who is the kan cheong and kiasu one. She also said tt “Dont worry I will not spoil ur child”,well I guess this is the first lie she said regarding her grandchild.
Whenever she shop for BB stuff, she will buy 2 sets, one set is meant to keep at her place the other set is meant for my place. My dad also bravo, he can think of a 2 years later plan. I told them if we put BB JL at infant care, they will have educational programme for BB which is a good stepping stone for BB JL. He told my mom after BB JL graduate from infant care, they will tk over to tk care of BB JL.
I can imagine, when BB JL is out they will bug me every now and then to bring BB JL to their place. Anyway this pair of grandparent left me speechless…..
Chosen by me
Chosen by Daddy Chen
Finally we went to shop for some BB JL clothing, this cheapo mummy refuse to spend a bomb on something tt BB JL is going to outgrown so fast. I rather dump those money at pram, vaccine, check up and education.
First clothing from Aunty Pretty (she prefer to stay anonymous), once again tks so much!!!
Romper from BHG’s sales, $5 each. Cheap and good quality.
4 for $10 bought from Clementi’s pasar malam. Ideal for wearing at home.
Again, things are just slightly cheaper than usual so didnt really bought a lot of things.
I gotten the 2 medium size bottles as a package when I bought the sterilizer during Isetan’s BB Fair, so this time round I just bought 2 large size bottles.
For BB when he slp with us at night, he has the BB cot for the day in his own room.
When I read he listen, when I stop he kicks for more.
