放了两个月的产假， 明天终于得上班了。
上个星期，试了试我的鞋子，发现我的脚竟然大了一号，真糟糕！我平时最爱买鞋，算一算有二三十双鞋。现在大部份鞋可以拿去煲汤了！
身形方面， 当然比以前胖， 可是也不是说像个胖奶奶。现在的体重，就像我在北京最胖的时候。很想减肥，但不可以。喂人奶，得吃比平时多。还记得有一次看医生，他问我一天里吃了什么。我告诉他，早上多数吃一两片米面包，一杯美禄。他说我早上吃太少，得吃三片面包，一杯饮料。或两片面包，一条香蕉，一杯饮料...除了早餐，早餐后还得吃茶点，午餐，午餐后茶点， 晚餐，宵夜...这根本是远远超出我平时吃东西的分量。 但没办法，我得这样吃，喝大量的水，这样才会有充分的母乳。如果以前我这样吃法，真的会肥的不成人样！
不过说实的，喂奶后，自然而然会想吃东西，喝水。看吧，能喂多久就多久了。

物理治疗
这两个月内，除了天天在照顾bb外, 我做最多的是看医生…
生bb 后, 我的尾椎 实在是痛得不行，我不能直直的坐着，弯腰，蹲着都有问题。 BB 满月后，我不得不去求医。我已做了一个月的物理治疗， 情况好了许多，但还没痊愈。真的希望我可以向以往一样。医生叫我别担心，我会没事的。

Jaundice
On the very second day, Doctor confirmed Ashley had jaundice and advise to stay back for monitoring. Ashley needs to put in the "sun tan" box for 24 hours. Hence, i need to stay back to company Ashley since i have to feed her. I dont mind to stay back for another day since i can have another day rest in hospital.
Ashley gets better after staying in the "sun tan" box and can discharge (3rd day old). Doctor advise us to sun tan her every morning at home for a week.
- Ashley just finished her "sun tan". The hairband like thing on her head is use to cover her eye during the tanning process. She looks cute though.

Ashley Birthday | Feb 15, 2011
Early in the morning about 4am (Feb 15, 2011), I had the very first so called contraction. I thought my stomach ache and went to the toilet and try to pass motion. Somehow, nothing comes out. I went back to bed and try to sleep. But the pain comes back. I went to the toilet again. I remember I went to the toilet 3 times with nothing comes out. Only after that it rings my bell that the pain is not stomach ache, it is my labor contraction. I timed the pain to make sure it is a regular pain and comes in approx every 5-10 minutes.
I called my god sister (a mother of 2) at 5.30am and tell her what happens to me. She confirmed that it is my contraction and asked me to clean myself and take a nice warm shower then eat something before admitting to hospital. After my shower I checked myself, I saw some blood.
By time I reached hospital, is already 6.30am. My contraction is getting nearer and more painful. Nurse took a checked in me and told me I already 5cm dilated (u need to have 10cm dilated before the delivery). Doctor later said i should be able to deliver my baby around noon. I took an epidural around 8am. My water bag burst itself around 10am. After the epidural, my contraction pain disappeared. I enjoy the waiting time by listening to music, checking mails via my phone, reading book. Somehow the dilation is so so so slow. By noon, I only 6-7cm dilated. Then doctor said I should able to delivery around 3pm…. Wait wait wait….
Up until 3pm, I started to feel the contraction again. And the pain is getting nearer and severe. I thought I should be pain free after the epidural. But I can still feel the pain. IT IS SO PAINFUL!!!!!.... The nurse added my epidural dosage, but the pain is still there, I don’t know why. I thought I should be fully dilated by then but I only 8cm dilated. And it took like century to get 1cm dilated. When I am 9cm dilated, Mr Kuan keeps asking the nurses, can i start pushing now. The pain is really killing me.
I remember, I tried to push my baby out lasted for 1.30 hours, but the baby cant come out. The doctor said he needs to do a forceps. I refused and said I want to push my baby out myself. The doctor was stunt at that moment. He said normally people will give up after 30-45 minutes of trying. But I have tried for 1.30 hours. And it has already passed the threshold time of 1 hour. He said he must do a forceps if not I am putting my baby at risk.
With the severe contraction pain… I only delivered my baby at 7pm in the evening. From morning 4.30am to 7pm… approx 15 hours.
Very naturally, when I hold my baby, the purple, bloody, sticky baby… I cried of joy.

Superstitious
There are so many superstitious during pregnancy. If you really follow everything, most probably you only can sit at home doing nothing. Just to name a few of them.
- Cannot hold any scissors or knife
- Cannot do any needle or sewing work
- Cannot move the bed
- Cannot perm or dye your hair
- Cannot do any manicure or pedicure
- Cannot do any renovation
- Cannot use the drill or hammer
- Cannot visit the dentist
- Cannot take x-ray
- …….
Above mentioned are some of the common superstitious which a pregnant lady should refrain from doing so. Somehow above are the things I did or I did more than what people said cannot.
My house is still under renovation during my first trimester of pregnant. On and off I need to come to my house and supervise the work. After we have shifted in to the new house, there are still some minor works that need to touch up by our own hands. So you can imagine the renovation part work that I need to involve. My very own thoughts are if you can’t explain scientifically why I can’t do that particular work; then please don’t stop me from doing so.
On the hair part, I did not dye my hair but I straighten my hair during that time. I read from the web site that there is no scientific proof that dying hair will cause the chemical to flow into the body and affect the baby. Just have to make sure that the ventilation is good at the saloon.
I visited the dentist 3 times during my pregnancy. Of course I have consulted my own doctor. His advice is to do it after the first trimester. I extracted one of my wisdom teeth in my 4th month of pregnancy. Can’t help it, the toothache is bothering me. Then in my 2nd trimester, visit the dentist twice to do some filling. I even took an x-ray. Of course I did make sure that it is safe to so.
With all the common superstitious, thanks god, I born a healthy baby girl on Feb 15, 2011.

baby 你什么时候出来?
近来频频接到朋友的来电和facebook 留言， 问我生了没。
他们一般的反应都是...
你怎么还在这儿？或
你怎么还没去生孩子？或
为什么不去催生？或
你Baby 好大只 (3.5kg as of last week),别自然生了，直接开刀好了！
其实我也很想快快把baby 生出来。 但有两个原因我想Baby 多忍两天的：
1）我的医生今天到星期三在outstation， 我不大想其他医生接生。所以我又开始天天告诉baby, 让他多忍几天， 等医生回来了才出来。我告诉baby, 在里面好吃好住，我吃什么，他都可以品尝，一旦出来了，baby 只能和奶...
2)baby 本身没给我任何的征兆他想出来。
妈妈，家婆都紧张了。妈妈这几天还天天的陪着我。
看吧， baby 应该快出来了.

自制叉烧
今天烤了我腌制了两天的叉烧。味道很好， 卖相也不错。最高兴的是 Mr Kuan 吃了赞不绝口，问我用什么来腌制，怎么烤... recipe 就不说在这了，因为我煮东西也没有一定成分，都是凭感觉，大概大概的...
Counting Down...待产的妈妈
Baby arrival is a very mysterious thing. Even the Doctor can't tell when the baby is coming out. It will all depends on faith if you plan to have a natural birth. The Expected Due Date (EDD) is just an estimation from the last period you have plus 40 weeks. And mine in on Feb 16, 2011. Baby consider full term and ready see the world when she is 37 weeks (i am at my 39 weeks now). All the vital organs (especially the lungs) are fully developed. Most of the women do not delivery their baby on the EDD. Is either earlier or later. I am like a time bomb now, tick tick tick.... waiting it to explode.... this waiting game mix with different kind of feeling. Excited, anxious, scared....

Crochet Flowers
I have made (crochet) a lot of flowers for my baby girl. Photos shows are the half done products. I will need to turn the flowers into hairband or hair pins for my girl. These ideas were came from Vanessa (my colleague) where she knows i know how to crochet and ask me to teach her to make some. Instead of teaching her, i made for her.
I wanted to make more and also improve on the flowers. But i have to stop for the time being as my hands are stiff and numb most of the time. Blood circulation is getting worse as days go by. This is normal where blood circulation is channel to baby in priority.
These are some of the products selling online. It can sell up to US$25:)

烦
我们某时的对话…
我：
我和Baby 说好了，9 号后要她快快出生，趁我肚皮还没出现任何的stretch marks 还是快快出来好。（要baby 9 号后才出生是因为我的医生9 号才开工,预产期是2月16号）。但早出生对你没好处， 平时只有我吵你，baby 出生后，baby 呱呱叫，肯定会把你烦死。
Mr Kuan:
Baby 吵的不只是我，她也会烦你，这样我可会心理比较平衡。
我：
为什么你心里会比较平衡？
Mr Kuan: 因为平时只有你烦我，你现在也被baby 烦了…. （我只能笑着无言）

Banana Cake Again
Last weekend, i have prepared to make a honeycomb cake. Then all of sudden Mr Kuan requested me to make a cake for him to bring it to his friends house as a potluck item. Since he so 捧场 my cake, i definately make one for him. Instead of making a honeycomb cake (no experience in making this cake), i made Banana Cake, the best cake i can baked.
Honestly, the cake not only looks good, it taste very good too :)
I baked one on saturday for Mr Kuan to bring it for his friend. Then baked another one on Sunday for my in law family since i have extra banana at home.
In my banana cake next attempt, i will add some walnuts. Banana Walnut Cake...
Cake dough to be baked
End Product

Body Shampoo
还记得我刚怀孕时，我买了 Johnson & Johnson 的 Baby body shampoo. 我个人喜欢 baby body shampoo 因为他味道清新，比起其他的沐浴露较滋润。于是我们就有了以下的对话：
Mr Kuan: “这是什么 body shampoo, 为什么怎么擦也擦不出泡沫，不好用！！"
Me: "这是 baby body shampoo 呀！很香，很滋润的."
Mr Kuan: "你要记得，你是有了baby, 而不是你是个baby"
Me: (我只能笑着无言）
过了几天，Mr Kuan 买了自己要用的 body shampoo :)

疑心重重 vs 提心吊胆
在我朋友的blog 看到这番话：
真爱的基础:专一
我最讨厌偷吃的男人女人。
在这个以偷情为时尚的社会里,
很多人都 放弃被一个人深爱的权利 ,
而选择跟很多人滥交的不归路。
我们好不容易脱离三妻四妾的古老社会,
却在这物质丰富的社会又折回那条折磨人的路。
被背叛的妻子永远无法深爱丈夫,
被背叛的孩子永远无法尊敬爸爸,
出轨的臭男人永远无法得到真爱。
有钱时虽可买个假温柔自我安慰,
但一趟人生却无人敬爱多可悲啊!
******************************************
前天在公司里，同事要我看尼安东的一个youtube. 看了我就说，如果我有那么帅的老公，我可会每天都提心吊胆. 同事就问我，那你现在很放心，不用提心吊胆是吗？ 想了想， 我会疑心重重多余提心吊胆， 这是我控制不了的。也许是我在这样的环境中长大，对于爱情和婚姻总是缺乏信心。 我也不知道要怎么在能重复信心， 也许如果老公能无微不至的对我， 呵护体贴，善解我意，体谅，包容...这样可能会好些...
我尝试很努力的把我妻子的角色办好，还不经意的告诉自己， 真爱的基础除了专一，互相信任，沟通，包容， 体谅更是美满婚姻的桥梁。但如果这一切没有对方的配合， 估计美满婚姻可能达不成， 唯有盼着一普通婚姻。

Steamed 鸡蛋糕 with Chicken Floss Cake
I like everything that is come with chicken floss, chicken floss bun, chicken floss with 猪肉干 bread, chicken floss swiss roll or chicken floss cake. Hence, for this weekend, i have tried this steamed 鸡蛋糕 with Chicken Floss Cake. Talking about 鸡蛋糕, of course eggs are the main ingredient. This cake takes up to 5 eggs. Taste is alright, but still have lots of room for improvement. Mr Kuan said is not soft enough. I sort of know where it went wrong. Will improve next round.

白糖糕
Since last week, i am craving for 白糖糕. I fell like making it myself instead of buying it. Then i got this recipe from Seok Chin.
Recipe Source: http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/chaiteng-flyingcat/article?mid=6363&sc=1
This is relatively easy to make, hassle free.
Normally, whatever recipe i got, i will cut 10-20g of sugar from the original recipe. This time i cut 10g. However i still felt the end product is a bit sweet. My Mom in law said the same. But Vanessa thinks it is ok. Hence, it is much depends on individual taste butt.
Felt kind of good to see all the little hole and tracks when i cut the 白糖糕. This is what i expected. I should use a smaller tray (but i don't have), so that the end product is thicker and taller.
Will try to make this again by cutting down more sugar.
