melody’s 3rd day

today marks melody’s 3rd day… little one had gone a little bit little with her weight going down by some 200 grams and hence, becoming smaller… oh well, thats how things goes…

one little thing i realised about melody and megan… they both love to have their daddy carrying them… keke…

and just like megan, both of them smiles even at the first few days!

of course, babies this young don’t really know how to smile, its just their facial muscle action… but, a little twitch on their lips is enuff to make a real big curve on our lips!

and one of the most challenging part…

melody’s 2nd day

and the old tired me almost couldn’t wake up this morning to send megan to her school and to greet the queen and the princess at the hospital… nevertheless, still managed to wake up and there’s the queen and the princess…

and there we go, the camwhorry-loks…

slipped back home at 4pm to fetch megan and while on cab back, i asked megan “today daddy not bringing u to see meimei k?” She replied “I want to see meimei... I want to curry megan meimei”

btw, she meant carry, not curry...

but still, she is not going to see meimei, as my parents came over my place to ‘relieve’ me so i can go over to hospital again…

lotsa people visited us, and thanks to you all for making the visit…

 

and… melody’s cot is all up and ready…

melody’s arrival

today, we’re delivering melody, our 2nd girl… somehow, we’re the first today and need to be at the hospital by 6am… but, after an anxious sleepless nite, both of us failed to wake up on time and gotten there a little late… nevertheless, we’re still the first to go…

P1040684 

P1040720

everything’s so so familiar as this is the second time we are going thru this… and yet, we’re more nervous or rather, more scared this time… maybe because we know what’s going to happen and hence, anticipate the thrill before even the real…

P1040686

the only difference is… they’re giving me a different ‘space suit’… i then realised, back then when we’re delivering megan, i may have gotten the doctor’s suit and hence i looked like one of them… :P

and the thing about this jumper suit is, by being tall, when you pull the top to fit the head, everything down there get ride up… really tied…

P1040688

anyway, here’s our lovely gynae, doctor adrian… he was drinking coffee reading newspaper in the staff room when i was shown to wait there… we exchange greetings and his main concern of the day “camera got battery bor??”…

anyway, i told him we’re sorry that we’re late today and as usual, his amusing reply goes “nevermind lah, we’re the first to go mah, let everyone else wait lor… no worries lah… got bring spare battery bor???”

P1040690

and being first, being late, everything go super fast… few minutes after joelle got her epidural, she is being ‘cut open’, and few minutes after, i’m being shown into the operation theatre, few minutes after i sat on the chair beside joelle, doctor adrian already asking me to get the camera ready, and for the second time, he is showing us our baby…

welcome melody!

P1040691

my first reaction to joelle was “怎么那么象megan!”

P1040695 

the difference is… melody is louder…

after some clearing and cleaning, we get to hold our melody for the very first time!

P1040700 

gosh… i really look alien…

P1040701 

P1040703 

P1040707 

next, we go for the weighing machine…

P1040711 

the ruler…

P1040712 

and melody’s hospital card thingy… its a girl! of course its a girl… haha…

P1040714 

P1040713 

did i mention melody is really loud?

P1040717 

she’s indeed loud…

but being more experienced, and more dared to carry a newborn, i hesitate no longer and pick up melody and of course, just like megan, melody first kiss is taken by me… wah haa haa!

and as i was camwhoring… i heard someone from behind saying “congrats…”, i turned and said thank you, and then i realised, i was talking to 黄碧仁! she’s delivering today??

P1040716 

after that, melody is pushed to the nursery room for more ‘touch ups’ and joelle is being pushed back to her ward… as like last time, the vomiting kicks in after the anesthesia wears off… no food no drinks for joelle… haiz…

and then, our princess is wheeled in to our ward, all ready for phototaking…

IMG_6894 

oh ya, forceps was used during the operation and hence, those ‘bruised’ marks on poor melody’s right cheek… must be dreadfully painful for her… if arriving to this cold world is bad enuff, arriving with a bruised cheek got to worst lor… no wonder melody is that pissed off and LOUD…

IMG_6898 

IMG_6909 

IMG_6913

but she’s a strong girl… we’re sure the bruise will go off in no time… or at least, thats what the nurses told us… it better go off lor…

IMG_6905 

both extremely tired girls…

IMG_6908 

and yup, you know lah…

but, joelle was like “wah, 2nd time liao still 99 roses only?”

i pointed to the next bed and whisper “人家都没有 lor, mai kao bei lah…”

IMG_6915 

and the next interesting and highly anticipated event of the day… will there be clash of the titans tonight? oh well, megan is a little sticky to me as she realised my attention is wandering to her mum and her sis and the relatives around the ward… after much coaxing and pampering, we finally get the princesses to meet…

presenting to you, megan and melody…

IMG_6929 

megan sayang melody…

IMG_6933 

melody … errr … ahhhh at megan…

IMG_6934 

megan hug hug melody… everyone, 1,2,3, say AWwwww…

IMG_6935 

but after that, megan saw the little white spots on melody’s nose and backed off and said ‘eeeek’ pointing to melody’s nose… children…

 

and finally, melody opened up her little eyes to have a first glace at the haggered, black eyed, tired and wasted daddy… who haven’t sleep since 5am… and didn’t sleep well before 5am…

IMG_6942 

welcome to our family, little sweet melody… we love you…

sleep tight, rest well, its your first day!
