my long curly locks

2005-12-21T15:04:00.000+08:00

When I picked Princess up today, she was already waiting at the door. And I looked at her .. "Hey! This little girl doesn't look like my daughter. What happened to her hair! She has long curly locks". Princess called me straightaway and said to me "Mummy see my hair .. so nice!" She was so vain - posing for the camera.

Its a shame that her hair can't seem to grow any longer. Would love her to have long hair. Hmm .. I have heard putting olive oil works. Wonder are there any other remedies for hair growth.

I cook

2005-12-20T16:12:00.000+08:00

Yesterday night while I was in the kitchen doing some chores, Princess came in and took some of her toy plates, pots and cutleries. Squated there talking to herself. She went something like "Mummy want to eat .. ok I cook noodle. Ok Titi want to eat noodle ... I cook". Pretending to cook and handling us the "cooked" food. I played along and "ate" up everything. And she was sniggering away. Wish I could capture a video on her doing that but it was upstairs. A picture I managed to snap with my mobile although not too clear. Wonder why she had a plaster on her forehead? She requested for the bandage. Well, she was bouncing on the bed and suddenly she bumped her forehead and the timber flooring. Gosh! The forehead developed a huge bump right-after. It was big swollen. Within days, while recovering she was playing with her cousins and she fell on the same spot again and it went swollen again. It was 1 week ago. Now I can say that she has recovered completely.

who is princess

2005-11-25T11:48:00.000+08:00

Yesterday night, Princess was looking curiously at my mobile while I was taking pictures of them. She came over to me and said ...

Princess: Mommy I want to see Princess
Me: Who is Princess?
Princess: Denisha

So cute. The way she say her name. Had a recording of her saying it. Had to ask her to repeat it again. Sigh .. not original anymore.

Sweets for my sweets ...

2005-11-18T17:48:00.000+08:00

Everyday when we are home, Princess would ask for chocolates. Sometimes, when she's sick, I'll tell her "No Princess you're sick .. next time when you are feeling better then Mommy let you eat ok". Then she'll put it back into the fridge. And right after, she ask for her vitamins (her term - sweet sweet). Recently, I bought her Chewy C from 21st Century ... its a gummy-like vitamin. She loves it so much. It has colours on different types of fruits so its easier to teach her colours. Everytime when she asks for her "sweet", she'll take it and automatically tells me the colour of whichever she's going to put in her mouth. The ingredients say all natural colours so I supposed should be quite safe for children's consumption. She's also taking vitamin C chewables everyday. I have also bought Pharmaton Kiddi Syrup for both Princess and Boy. They are also taking Scotts Emulsion - code liver oil from GSK.
Whenever anyone catches a flu or dusty environment, they will definitely develop a running/stuffy nose. After taking all these supplements, they have been free from flu for months. Thanks to these vitamins!

Barney Live in Malaysia

2005-11-14T15:01:00.000+08:00

12th November 2005:
We took Princess to watch Barney & the Musical Castle Live in KL Convention Centre at Plenary Hall. Poor Lil Darien had to taken care by my mom. Initially we thought of bringing Darien there but he's only 12 months old and we're afraid that he'll demand this and that. So it would be the wiser to live him with my mom. The whole journey, Princess was asking where is 'titi' (little brother). We explained to her that her brother is too young to go. Next time when he's older we'll bring him. She seemed understand and nodded. The next moment, she asked again. It was endless. We took LRT .. thinking that its a 1st time ride for Princess and Daddy. It had been years since the last time I took the LRT. It was a bad choice this time round. I had forgotten we had to stop over in so many stations and Princess was scared the whole journey through. We had to carry her in our arms. Carrying a two year old is no joke .... Boy! She's heavy. She's a timid little girl. Upon reaching the concert hall. Everywhere was pasted Barney this and Barney that. Our girl got so excited. We had been telling her about this concert a few days back. And now here we are ... Barney the purple dinosaur! When entering the concert hall, I told her .. "see there at the stage, Barney will come out from there later". Then she told me .. "I don't want". Oh my Gosh! I was like what does she mean by she does't want? She was mad about Barney. Oh Boy .. this is going to be a challenge. Daddy tried to pacify her telling her it was ok while I booked for seats. We bought the cheapest tickets so the seatings were free. I was thinking of getting the $130 ticket but was thinking what if she's scared then we'll waste all the tickets. So I chose the cheaper ticket. She asked Daddy to go to the highest seat. Poor poor Daddy. Finally, when the show was about to start, she decided to sit where I was sitting.
The start of the show begins with the Barney theme song (in a yankee doodle tune) that goes like ...

Barney is a dinosaur from our imagination
When he’s tall he’s what we call a dinosaur sensation
Barney teaches lots of things like how to play pretend
A-B-C’s and 1-2-3’s and how to be a friend
Barney comes to play with us
Whenever we may need him
Barney can be your friend too
If you just make believe him

Overall, she enjoyed the show. Being enclose like this is something new to her .. so I think it takes time for her to adjust. In the end, she ended up with two of Barney's friends, Baby Bop and BJ. She already had Barney lying around at home.

13th November 2005:
We went for a friend's wedding dinner at Summit Hotel Subang Jaya. As usual, poor Darien will be at my mom's place. When we arrived there, Princess was clinging to us. We were like oh Gosh .. here we go again. There are loud noises here and there and our poor lil' Princess got scared. Hmm ... a quarter way through it, I took her back to my mom's place leaving Daddy there. This was the 2nd wedding she went to. The 1st one she was clingy but not as bad as this one. There is another wedding we need to attend next month and another one after that. Hopefully by that time, she'll be fine. I asked her .. why are you scared. She answered me "Many people". That's funny 'cos when we went for shopping there are also lots of people. If she's shy, I'd say not 'cos she's been out with our friends before and she's ok with them as well. Don't know ... probably after effect of the Barney show ... :)

Choosing CDs

2005-11-11T15:51:00.000+08:00

While driving them back from the nursery, as usual Princess will be running through the CD wallet. Then suddenly she said, This is Baabaa Black Sheep? No? (shaking her head). Some CDs were recorded and have no pictures printed on the CD. So, she usually recognise the wordings written there. Her expression was so cute. It was such a cute moment.

Pain

2005-11-08T12:04:00.000+08:00

Yesterday Daddy was in a meeting at Palace of the Golden Horses. So I went to pick up the kids. As usual Princess will be taking her slippers from the shoe rack and proceed to the car but this time round she decided to be adventurous and wonder off to the side of the house to the back of the kitchen. I told her .. "Princess please don't go there ... its dark .. and you'll fall down". In a few seconds, I went to look for her and her right leg fell into a small drain. Her knee had a small graze with a little bit of blood and she cried really really loud. The babysitter applied some antiseptic cream and she continued crying. The more I consoled her, the More she cried. Gosh! I was told that when she was hurt there, she doesn't cry like that. Aiy ... must be asking for Mommy's sympathy. She continued weeping in the car. I asked her ... "Is your knee very painful?". She said "Yes" ... Ok ... Mommy sayang (comfort). Then she stopped crying instantly after I said I put on her favourite song "Baa Baa Black Sheep". I told her ... "Next time when Mommy say don't go anywhere, you must listen ok?" She said "Yes" (in a pitiful tone). Poor girl.

When she was younger, whenever she had a small cut or a little fall, I'll be over-anxious and worried. I noticed that she was very dependant and doesn't dare to do things on her own. I have read somewhere that children who are over-protective can cause problems when they are older. So I've decided not to be an over-anxious Mommy.

mommy ... titi (little brother) disturb my work!

2005-10-14T15:04:00.000+08:00

Eversince her little brother started crawling, he's been getting his hands into anything in sight. Sometimes, Denisha will be doing some puzzles, eating or playing with some toys ... and little Darien will be happily laughing and crawling/walking to his sister. The 1st thing that came out from her mouth is .. "Mommy .. titi disturb my work". There I was thinking ... what work .. hehe. She must have learnt it from the nursery. Everytime when she say it .. I would be laughing silently in my heart. The way she say it is so soooo cute.

I Love BARNEY

2005-10-09T19:20:00.000+08:00

Denisha simply loves watching Barney. Everytime when we're at home, she's ask for Barney ... she's a Barney addict. Her favourite character is Baby Bop - the green triceratops. The ending song goes like this ...

I love you
You love me
We're a happy family
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me to you
Won't you say you love me too
I love you
You love me
We're best friends like friends should be
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me to you
Won't you say you love me too

Everytime when the ending song comes on, she gives us hugs and kisses. Aww ... Mommy and Daddy were so touched. Our lil Princess!

Vroom vroom

2005-10-06T15:57:00.000+08:00

Being a curious 2 year old, a car ride is a whole new adventure for our lil girl. She'll be going into ALL the things that she can get her hands on. I use sunshade for my car on hot sunny days. When it's not hot, I'll fold it and keep it at the side of the handbrake. Our little adventurer took the sunshade and said to me ... "Mommy, turn left (turning "wheel" to left), turn right (turning "wheel" to right). Vroom vroom, I drive". Hehehe ... cute girl. Kids are so imaginative.

I simply love books ...

2005-10-03T21:25:00.000+08:00

"Smile for the camera"

"Mommy, is this post ok?"

Having a "ha-ha" time with Daddy.

We went to Kinokuniya, KLCC over the weekend. Once princess stepped into the store, she was so excited when she saw the children section. So I asked her .. "Princess what books do you want?". She took some books, handling to me one by one and told me ... "Mommy read this please". So there I was sitting at one corner .. window facing the water foundation, reading to her and most of the books are Barney books. And halfway through it .. she said .. "Mommy read this .. I read this". So cute .. she love books. When we wanted to go off. Asked her to sit in the stroller .. she doesn't want and started crying .. aiyo .. not enough sleep that's why. I just waited for her to finish with her tantrum. Then a little toddler squatted beside her and looked at her. The little boy was so cute. Then I told her "See see the baby is looking at you throwing your tantrum. Shame shame! She stopped immediately and looked down. Put her into her stroller without any problem. See .. new tactic to stop a crying toddler ... :)

We were also in Isetan .. on sale now and wanting to get some new clothes for the kids. And Daddy bought Princess a Barney soft toy .. oohh .. she was so happy. Halfway walking she slept in the stroller. Too tired.

2005-09-07T17:40:00.000+08:00

Last night Mark had an office function, so I was with the kids all by myself. While putting the kids to bed, I told Princess I will read her 1 book. She brought me 3 books. I told her "No no .. Mummy said only 1 book. How many books you want Mummy to read? She pointed at each of the books and said "1 .. 2 ... 3". It was such a cute sight. She's learning really fast now. I remember buying them "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" a few months back. I read it to her when she barely know how to talk. Now she can recite the book for me .. :)

I'm a vain pot!

2005-09-04T20:54:00.000+08:00

3rd September 2005: Took the kids to Plaza Sri Hartamas to visit Cousin Barry and Amelia. They have a shop there selling very unique weaving baskets all at affordable prices. Arrived there about 3pm. Took Boyboy into Anakku (a baby boutique) to purchase some clothes. Decided to be a heroin and carry lil' Darien to the shop to look at some clothes. Boy was he heavy. After that my arms just went limp. Arg! :)

Princess was being adventurous and wonder to some shops looking at things. Went to a bookshop, "Pay For Less". Asked her, "Do you want these books?". She sais yes ... took the books, pretend to read it all .. and then in the end, she said she doesn't want it and went off to wonder into another shop. Hmm ... :) Took her to a hair accessory shop, Sinma. Bought her some clips for the hair. It was cute. She was really vain. Asked me to clip it for her. Then showed it to her Daddy. Hmm .. girls will always be girls. I asked her who is vain pot? She said .. "I vain pot". Hehhehe. Cute cute.

Teddy Smile ...

2nd Birthday Party

2005-09-01T14:22:00.000+08:00

31st August 2005: 2nd Birthday Celebration

Pic taken at home

We celebrated Princess's birthday at Burger King, USJ Taipan. Ordered a Barney cake for her. She was dressed in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt that says "Princess" .. looking so grown-up. She's got lots of gifts. Yee Ma bought a mini stroller with a musical baby doll. Yee Yee bought a Sesame Street alphabet toy box. Aunty Ng from nursery made her a nice jelly cake and a fisher-price caterpillar toy. Mommy and Daddy bought a mini motorcar and a doctor playset. Uncle Bernard bought a TY Beanie. Uncle Chong and Aunty Chris bought an Elmo handpuppet.

She was not as scared comparing to the time when we celebrated her 1st birthday at A&W Subang Jaya. She enjoyed the playground at BK so much. After the party, we went to Yee Poh's house in Cheras. She was playing so much there as well. By the time we went home, she was so so so tired. Sniff sniff another year older ... :)

"I simply love slides!!!!!"

Whinny Whinny Whinny

2005-08-28T20:26:00.000+08:00

These few days our little girl has been really whinny. Don't know what is wrong with her. Nothing seemed to please her. Sigh really stressed at times but we'll have to be patient I suppose. Hope this phase will pass soon.

Matilda

2005-08-03T13:24:00.000+08:00

We bought a new CD for the kids. The song played was called Matilda. Whenever Princess hears the chorus play, she will laugh and snigger. The chorus goes like this ... "Matilda, Matilda, Matilda ... she takes me money and run Venezuela". Hmm .. I don't know what's so funny about the song but it really tickles her. Hehe.

La La La La la la la la

2005-07-11T13:08:00.000+08:00

These couple of weeks, our little girl has taken a liking to singing. She'll be singing her favourite Baa Baa Black Sheep, Old MacDonald and Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars to name a few. Especially in the car, she would demand for Baa Baa Black Sheep and Old MacDonald only. No others. If we just let the CD play .. after awhile she will realise it and asked for those songs again. She doesn't like the rest of the CDs anymore. We'll go berserk soon if she doesn't find a new liking to other songs. Imagine hearing these two all the time. Hmm maybe will try to introduce the old CDs back to her again soon. Isn't it a bit boring listening to the same thing over and over again ... ;)

"Lalala Mummy I'm singing"

I Go WeeWee

2005-07-04T10:57:00.000+08:00

Over the weekend, our little princess finally decided to go off diapers. Been trying to train her these couple of days. The babysitter had already told me that she's potty-trained. And there I was wondering why is it that she doesn't want to go at home. Hmm .. and to my surprise, during the last Saturday, she took off her diapers and told me "Mommy, I go wee wee". I was so touched. Almost closed to tears. Sigh our little girl ... was a helpless little baby before and now she's telling me she wanted to go to the toilet. How time flies.

Kewl!

2005-06-26T23:03:00.000+08:00

Do I look kewl??

Naughty Corner

2005-06-18T13:29:00.000+08:00

Lil' Denisha is having her usual snack - honeyb & cornflakes. I told her to be careful and not to pour it on the floor. She used to pour it on the floor for the fun of it. Then, I would punished her by putting her at the 'naughty corner'. After that incident, she didn't dare do it again. This time round, she accidently poured some on the flour. Feeling agitated told her to move aside so that I can clean it up. After cleaning up the mess, I was looking for her and found her facing the wall. I was feeling somewhat heartbroken and funny as well. My poor princess thought I was punishing her so she went and face the wall. And on the other hand, it's quite a funny sight as well .. :) Kids .. they do the funniest things.

Peter & Jane Ladybird Books

2005-06-16T13:49:00.000+08:00

Our lil' Princess is starting to read Peter & Jane (a reknown collection of children books by Ladybird - 1st published in the 60s .. its really good). With the guidance of the teacher, she's able to spot some words from the flashcards shown. In no time, she'll be able to read the whole book. She simply love books .. just like the Daddy!

2005-05-30T22:03:00.000+08:00

Over the weekend ... while playing with her favourite "Old MacDonald" barn toy - that has a chicken, horse, pig, cow and sheep; she suddenly sang "Baa Baa Black Sheep". It was such a cute sight. Mark and I was so fascinated. Too bad we did not get it on video but we will make sure it did when we find the chance to. Imagine clinging onto the video 24/7 .. hahaha. Obsessed!

Little Red Riding Princess

1st Birthday Party

2004-08-31T21:26:00.000+08:00

We celebrated Denisha's 1st birthday at A&W Subang Jaya. Bought a "Pooh" cake from King's Confectionery. She was so afraid of the bear and the crowd there. I guess that's the behaviour of toddlers. We had to carry her most of the time.

1st Steps

2004-08-31T21:23:00.000+08:00

Our little girl took her first step a few days before she turned 1. It was so cute looking at her walk clumsily wearing her cute shoes.

Favourite Character

2004-08-21T23:00:00.000+08:00

Taken on our shopping trip to MidValley Mall. Sitting in Barney's car .. one of her favourite characters. When it's done, she made a big fuss when we took her out. It was a horrific situation.

Favourite Toy

2004-08-17T22:19:00.000+08:00

Denisha loves this particular toy we bought for her while shopping in BSC. The first thing she does when she gets up in the morning, she would go to the toy and press on one of the panel there so that "Old McDonald" would play. When she hears that, she would dance to the music. It was so cute.

Favourite Pastime

2004-06-26T11:11:00.000+08:00

Denisha simply loves bathing. She loves it most when her tub is filled with all her bath toys.

Exploring

2004-05-31T23:32:00.000+08:00

Our little princess has started opening drawers and cupboards. Looking inside and taking things out. Practically messing up everything that catches her eye. Oh Boy! Here we go ... :)

Holiday in Bukit Tinggi

2004-05-01T00:02:00.000+08:00

Stayed at Colmar Tropical Resort. We went to a rabbit farm. Our little girl was so fascinated with he rabbits. Somehow, the rabbits are particularly sticky to me. Hmm maybe they can sense that I'm born in the year of the rabbit .. haha.

Laughter Melt Hearts

2004-04-05T23:57:00.000+08:00

Little Denisha loves it when I said 'hello' in a funny tone. It will make her laugh really hard. Its so touching seeing her in one of those cute moments. Her laughter really melt our hearts.

2nd Swim

2004-02-22T23:37:00.000+08:00

1st Swim

2004-02-01T22:26:00.000+08:00

We brought our little princess for a holiday in Penang. We stayed at Northam Hotel together with Laura. It was the 1st time in a pool for our little girl. It was noon and the water was still cold. Poor girl .. crying so pitifully. Wonder how true is it when people say 'babies are natural in water'. Guess it's a hoax. We took her out and consoled her until she fell asleep in my arms.

1st Holiday Trip

2004-01-30T22:29:00.000+08:00

We have finally decided to place her in a daycare centre located in SS2. Since, today is the 1st day at work after a 2½ months of maternity leave, its also the 1st day of placing princess in daycare. I was so worried about her .. I have forgotten the amount of phone calls I made to the centre enquiring about her ... :Þ

Am I Too Chubby?

2003-11-05T23:41:00.000+08:00

I think I'm too chubby. Don't you think so?

Nanny

2003-11-01T23:52:00.000+08:00

We were thinking of getting a nanny to take care of our little princess when I finally get back to work. So, we have decided on one found in KL for a few days trial. Gosh what a mistake we have made. She's slow in everything. Bathing and wearing clothes for the baby takes up so much of her time. Preparing milk is even worse. She can't see the numbers on the bottle. Imagine that! And she claimed that she's in her 40s and worked for a doctor before. She can't even feed the baby milk. You see ... our little Denisha doesn't really fancy milk .. we have to coax her or make her sleep before shoving the bottle into her mouth. She was quite a handful. By the time the nanny finish preparing everything, the baby will be wailing away. So we decided to ask her to go.

I'm So Happy

Our princess is getting more cheerful these days. She likes to smile a lot. Look at that smily face ...

Eunice House Gathering

We've had a house gathering at Eunice's. Princess was carried by everyone there. All wanting to be parents' ... :Þ

Indon Maid

2003-10-22T23:00:00.000+08:00

With much worrying of what's going to happen to our little princess when I go back to work, we have decided to employ an indon to take care of the baby when we go to work. We will place her in my sister, Pristina's house during the daytime and pick her up in the evening. She was a total failure because she can't even carry our little princess properly. Can't even handle her. I decided to give her another 2-3 days but failed. So, I decided to ask her to go.

Do I Look 'KayPoh"??

Funny pose that we caught.

Alert Look ... All Wrapped Up

2003-10-18T17:24:00.000+08:00

Our little princess is sleeping lesser and lesser as each day goes by. Look at all the toys I've strapped her on and not forgetting the soft toy dog, Patrick that we bought for her.

Full Moon Party

2003-10-04T23:27:00.000+08:00

We had a full moon party for our little princess at home. We did catering. Well, the food was ok I think .. I didn't eat much due to the fact that I have to take care of her. A lot of people came. Not much place to sit. Some of them have to sit on the floor to eat ... :Þ

1st Outing for Princess

2003-10-01T23:30:00.000+08:00

Today is the first "real" outing for both of us. It felt so good ... being OUT. Just need to get out. We went to Subang Parade. Ate at Nando's and princess was sleeping so peacefully in her stroller. After that we went to "poh poh's" house for dinner.

Another Massage Session

2003-09-18T20:18:00.000+08:00

Had another masseur recommended by Ai Ling. She's quite good but a little bit pricey though. After the everything was over, I slept like a baby. Really relaxing. Didn't do the wrapping yet -the wrapping is believed to help with the shrinking of the belly. Will be doing it in the next session.

1st Massage

2003-09-14T22:17:00.000+08:00

I had a malay massage lady a two weeks after birth. It is believed that the massage will help in expelling the wind and blood clot in the womb caused by the pregnancy and birth. Her oil is really smelly. Not as good. Decided to look for someone else.

Confinement - Another term for JAIL

2003-09-14T14:08:00.000+08:00

I am going crazy from all this locking up. "You can't eat this and that" "You can't go out" You must wear socks and slippers" "You must wrap yourself up like a mummy" "You can't wash your hands in normal water" "You can't walk so much" "You can't do this and that to the baby". Who's baby is it anyway. I am really fed up with all these comments. Really driving me up the wall. Just leave me alone. FED UP ... all these makes my baby blues even worse.

Visitors

2003-09-13T23:06:00.000+08:00

Today, my sis, hubby and the kids came to visit us. Cassandra simply adores our little princess. Probably she just love babies .. :)

Umbilical Cord

2003-09-07T23:53:00.000+08:00

Finally, after 7 whole days her umbilical cord dropped off. Was adviced by Ai Ling to clean the area until all have dried off.

Deciding On Her Chinese Name

2003-09-07T17:05:00.000+08:00

Daddy (accompanied by Sonny) went to a place in Jalan Petaling to ask for chinese names for our little princess. After much consideration, we decided to name her Xin Ni. So its going to be Denisha Lim Xin Ni.

Midwife Visit

2003-09-04T22:28:00.000+08:00

Ai Ling, a midwife from Genlia came to visit. She did a few checks on me and also our little princess. Breastfeeding was quite a painful experience. Everything else seemed to be fine.

Baby Panic

2003-09-04T18:02:00.000+08:00

In the morning, princess was making some noise in the crib. So we decided to carry her. While patting her gently on the back, she was having some difficulties breathing and her face turned red. We panicked and brought her to the PD, Pixie Clinic in USJ. With much explanation, Dr Low said its normal for newborn to act that way. Coincidently, we bump into my sis, Pristina. So, I decided to drop by her place while daddy brought the car to the mechanics to fix the air-con.

New Born Baby Denisha

2003-09-03T23:32:00.000+08:00

In the afternoon of 30th August 2003, I did a checkup. Dr Ang said everything is fine and there are no signs of delivery. So, daddy and I decided to do some shopping at Summit Shopping Mall in USJ. Later in the evening, I felt some contractions but ignored it .. thinking that its just Braxton Hicks. Cousin Barry called us over for durians (yummy). We decided to have dinner there. So, all the way to Cheras we drove. I was still feeling the contractions but bearable. After the dinner, I decided to admit into SJMC. So we went home to bathe and get my hospital bag. We feel excited as well as worried. What if its false alarm!

We reached SJMC at about 12am the next day (31st August 2003). The nurse did some test and put an equipment around my belly to test for the contractions and the baby's heartbeat. After checking, the nurse said I was dilated 2cm. Oh My Gosh! I'm going into labour. I was so nervous but tried to remain calm. Received a call from my sis, Pristina couching me on the breathing exercises. :) Was joking with my mom a few days back when she said she wanted to "nasi lemak" ( a malaysian delicacy cook - rice cook with coconut). Told her jokingly that I won't be able to eat 'cos I'll be delivering during "Merdeka Day" (Malaysia National Day). Haha ... really funny. It's good delivering on that day .. at least our little girl can celebrate her birthday on a holiday.

Luckily the doctor is in the hospital delivering another baby. To speed this up a bit, the nurse did a drip on me. The pain was not so intense in the beginning. As delivery is approaching nearer, the pain got worse. The real pain lasts for about 30 minutes. And finally Little Denisha is born. It's too bad, Mark did not take the full delivery on video. Its such a waste.

Details of Baby Denisha:
~ Weight: 2.67kg
~ Length: 47cm
~ Head Circumference: 33cm
~ Apgar Score: 9

Asleep peacefully in the hospital cot

Fully awake ...

We were discharged in the afternoon on the 2nd September 2003. While travelling in the car, the air-con decided to 'konk' out on us. Gosh it was the worse journey ever. Poor princess was sweating .. goodness! Its 12pm where the sun was blazing hot. Had a nanny for the one month confinement.
