Transformation begins..

   It's been a week since Momma Bear started morphing into a bloodhound. Painful for me to say the least. Everything smells sweet to her now. From body lotion to shampoos to baby powder. She refuses to even hold the Kutu now. Seems the little one smells too sweet from all the baby powder she has on her.
   Of course the vomiting has started. It's nonstop hearing the toilet flush going off. Today its been the same but Momma Bear is not discharging through the mouth. Her bottom is leaking now. Everything is going south.
   Watching her hibernate in the room, i cant help but wonder. How is it that pregnancy changes a woman that drastically? From a normal person to this creature with nose like a bloodhound and appetite like a princess. today we had a plate of Nasi Lemak on the table. Half eaten. Then i brought home Chicken Rice. Unopen as of now. Then a friend sent in a bag of Fried Bananas. Also left uneaten as of now. She is totally confused on what she wants to eat. Changes her mind every 2 minutes. I will soon lose my mind.

  We were in 1 Utama yesterday for lunch with a friend. Got her a plate of Sizzling Noodles which was her favorite before pregnancy. The moment she saw the egg floating in it. All appetite for it flew out the window. So got her a plate of Fried Phat Thai. Ate like a quarter of it. And that's it. No more can go in. I am gonna end up fat like a pig i tell you. With me finishing up after all her leftover food. Yikeess...
   Had s little scare from Momma Bear on Monday. She had a bit of bleeding. So off to the doc's we went. Just to be sure. Took a scan to look at the little fella.

  Voila!!!  Heart beat can be seen now. It looks like a little blinking LED within a little balloon. Have to look real hard to be able to see it. The blink comes and goes. Which raises the question. With all sorts of advances in medical tech. Why is it that the bloody ultra sound images still looks like something from World War 1? Is there no way we can have it view in HD?

2nd day of 9 Emperor God Laksa

   Yesterday was the 2nd night of Laksa festival at 9 Emperor God's. The whole clan turned up for it. Dad. Mum , me . Phoebe for her first festival and Miki of course. Even Tuti decided she wanted to come attend and see the fun bit.


   Seems Phoebe came first in the afternoon with Gramma for a sneak peek. Of course anywhere that she goes. Drama follows. Phoebe insisted she wanted to wave to Thomas each time a train passes by, so she sat at the steps with Tuti waiting for Thomas to come along. After awhile, she became too quiet that Tuti was suspicious. Phoebe got so excited that she did a number 1 right there on the steps. Tuti had to call Gramma for help because Phoebe refuses to budge. Somehow managed to clean her and got her home.
   Later that night we all came over to help out. Was busy and crazy like the war zone it has always been for the past 3 years we came to help. Phoebe came with her other Gramma and uncles. Gala time she had. It was up and down looking at dragons and balloons. She ended up getting herself a Donald Duck balloon to go home with. Poor thing was all wet from sweat and running around. No drama there till we got home later that night.
   Both Momma Bear and Phoebe was already asleep when we got home at 1 am. Saw all the bed sheet being hung up. Suspected something amiss.
   Phoebe was so happy from her outing she decided she needed to throw up on the bed.
   Then pee on the bed for good measure.
   Momma Bear nearly strangled her for good. Thank goodness they were asleep when i walked in. Thinking this was the last of it. How wrong i was.
   I think i slept like 40 minutes last night. Phoebe came up every other hour asking for Ribena . Milk and Godknoswhat... She even decided she wanted to do a Number 1 at 4 am. Which she actually did. Me and Momma Bear nearly fainted form exhaustion... Finally managed to get her to sleep at 5 am.
   Turns out Phoebe was not just excited about her outing. She caught a fever and cough. Woke up at 11am. The latest she has done in a long long time. Checked her and her temperature was 39.0 C. Not a good sign. Group discussion done with Momma Bear and Gramma. Decided its best to give her one up the butt....
   I wont be surprised if she hates me in the future. Its always me pushing up that pill into her ass when she gets sick. I am always the bad cop.
   Another week of playing waiter to go...
   No update so far from the little fellow inside Momma Bear. Other than the occasional mamak supper and salted orange peel. It's been smooth sailing for now. Fingers crossed. We are due at the doc's next week. This time to look for the blinking LED- that will be the little fella's heart beat.

Confirmation Round 1

   It was off to Doctor Soh for a scan to make sure the little is still hanging around. Surprisingly, the doc actually remembers us from 2 years back. Without asking, he confirms that Momma Bear is actually fat and pregnant. Then he offers to scan us for confirmation.
   Bed found. Momma Bear lay herself down. KY Jelly smeared. Here we go...
   Moments of suspense is correct. We saw nothing. Momma Bear was turning green. Could it really be just a undigested chicken wing stuck inside instead of a little kutu?
   More searching and Doc starts to shake his head saying " It's ok. I will need you to come in again in a weeks time. It's still early. Maybe kutu is shy and hiding. Who knows...WAIT."

   " There you go." He pointed at a smear in the screen. Looks more like a blotch to me.
   " That's the baby's sac. That's where baby will be cocooned inside for the next 9 months"
   Aaahhh.. that makes more sense. Doc is happy. Momma Bear is also happy. And off we go after grinning like new parents. Pheww.. No chicken wing scare this time around. We are due back there in 2 weeks time to search for the blinking LED. That's the baby's heart beat.
   It was Tom Yam soup for supper last night... Momma came home full and knocked off within 2 minutes. Could hear her snore contently.

Chapter 2. A new beginning.

   Things will get interesting for the next few weeks. Momma Bear just came to me with her Clear Blue Test result. Seems we might be having another round of 9 months midnight feeding all over again.

   2 lines on the test kit. I don't know if i should be jumping with joy or weeping in fear. Thoughts of her midnight feeding and request for supper flashed through. The change in shampoo and toothpaste. Body lotion and hair shampoo... Sigh. Scary indeed. Did the test twice in 2 days. Both showing 2 lines. Gramma was super happy to hear about it. Smiling patiently. Dad is totally clueless. Best to keep things like this for the moment i suppose. Vincent Wong and Mr Eng was grinning like proud uncles when we told them over lunch of fried spagetti in Kepong. Beats me why they were so happy.
   Went to the temple to get confirmation from the medium. Medium says we need to wait for a couple more days for the kiddo to settle down. Not sure if that is a good sign or he just did not want to commit.
   Personally, i am somewhat in a dilemma. On one hand i am happy for a new friend. On the other hand. The thought of the 9 months and following 2 years of potty training scares me a bit. Not saying it is no fun. It is fun actually. I do enjoy it but i suppose looking at Kutupus now. In all her glory, i forget what it was like having a little one as my own.
   So we started off with 1 Ramli burger last night for Momma Bear. More to come i guess....

I City

Trip to I City.

Gramma hd this bright idea of going for a night drive to I City . Out of the blue, she decided this would be fun. so off we went. I must admit, the lights are realy quite overwhelming. Baby had tons of fun on the Merry Go Round. Went up once with Grampa and another with Gramma.

Beats me why she did this face for the camera...

Poo Poo on the dot.

Chinese Year... This is the first time Baby is all dressed for her new year. Last year she was still in her diapers. This year she gets her full chinese Cheong Sam. And hair clips as well. Took her back to Our little village in Puchong. Turns out baby is nto so gutsy after all. Too many kids scares her. She clung on to Momma Bear like a koala bear most of the time. This was actually her only time on the ground playing with a tricycle. The previous day was spent celebrating new year eve dinner at 4th Aunty's place. It was the same there. She had trouble settling down. Too many kids around. It was much better after her cousin Wen Xing came along. She got to ride in a electric car for the first time...
The title... Now that another funny thing she did today. Last week it was getting her finger in the tap.Today. she managed to do her poo poo for the first time on the toilet bowl. Momma Bear took quite a bit to convince her to sit there.
Then it came...3 continous drip... Baby herself was confused at the beginning. After wiping her , she insist on looking inside the toilet. Flushed it and she was mighty proud. Even came to me, pull me and insist i follow her to the toilet . "Look Daddy...!" What else can i do? Clap lor... :P
When Gramma came. She did the same... dragged her to the toilet. Let's see if we are able to achieve this tomorrow ... Well Done!!

Water tap and sinks

Baby managed to set up another bench mark today.
Yesterday it was blowing up like a geyser during dinner. We were having dinner in Pelamar Restaurant celebrating Momma Bear's Younger brother birthday. Baby insisted om showing off how much she is able to drink at one go. So it was 7 ounce at one gulp. All this done right after having a bowl of porridge. Took her less than 3 minutes to know she is not that smart. She threw up right in front of everyone. 5 times continuously. Momma Bear and me were both covered in her talent. Her other Gramma nearly died from laughing out so much. It was super hilarious. Had to get her and me changed. Thank god for having a spare shirt in the car.



Today...even funnier. Momma Bear was laughing her head out when she reported to us. Momma Bear heard baby calling out for her from the toilet in the room.... "MI MI !!!!...MI MI...!!" That's strange.What's going on?

Baby had her finger stucked on the tap.

God knows what she was trying to do. Momma Bear didn't know whether to laugh or panic. She was staring at Momma Bear. No tears. I suspect she was more confused than afraid. This is a sign of worst things to come. It wont be long before we will have to call in the Fireman to free her. God knows what else she is gonna get herself stuck in.
