T3

We had a review at Dr Tan's clinic this morning. Very happy that Zq's had fully recovered! However, he needs to be on an inhaler on a daily basis for a few months to control and prevent his asthma attack. It is much easier to use and less daunting comparing to the nebuliser machine as it is silent and quick. Hope everything will be better and he will react well to this new treatment!

When hubby flied back from Beijing last week, he noticed there were quite some Mickey & Friends deco display at T3, and Zq's fav cartoon has been Mickey so here we go!


Once he saw Mickey & friends, he smiled so sweetly at them... :)

I cant control him at all! He didn't allow me to carry coz he wants to walk!

"Papa, i want to fly too.........."

Papa said: "Okay, pls check him in... :p"



So happy over the selections of toys!

Getting excited and pulled down whatever soft toys he could grab! Gonna evacuate from the crime scene immediately!


Playing at the indoor playground


Bringing him out is a challenging task now coz he couldn't stay quiet for a minute. He will struggle at him pram and our arms, just to wriggle his way down as he wants to walk! But this little boy have yet to master the skill yet so is walking like a drunken all over the place... *Headache*

Asthma

It was all started with a mild flu & cough, i would never imagined what a terrible nightmare it turned to...


Zq had mild flu & cough for past few days (all because of me, i had a very persistent cough & flu for a week). I fed him normal med as per usual, but things turned bad on monday evening, i noticed he started panting suddenly, he was breathing so hard and like almost out of breathe, his whole face turn pale and yellowish.. I knew something was terribly wrong and i knew i shouldn't wait any longer, i couldn't afford to wait till Dear back from Beijing tomorrow night... Together with mama, we brought him down to Dr Tan's night clinic at Henry Park at once. The queue was very long but i told the nurse my son had breathing difficulty. I was so glad that he attended to Zq immediately as he told me bb was almost out of breathe and fighting hard to breathe.. I was teary at once... All his fussiness, non-explainable crying and constantly wanted me to carry had an answer now...

Doc put him on nebuliser hourly and monitor his condition at the clinic, his condition under control but not getting better.. He confirmed with me that Zq has asthma, from all his previous wheezing history and this current one... So doc wanted me to admit him immediately, he don't even allow me to go back home to pack our stuff, he wanted me to make way to hospital at once coz bb had asthma attack and need hourly treatment and constant monitoring... I cried once doc told me all these, he knew Dear was at oversea and he told me to be strong, baby was in good hand, he will get whatever treatment to make sure he is well again... The last thing we want was baby turned blue and short of breathe along the way, so without further ado we rushed to the hospital at once...

When we reach Mt Alvernia, all the arrangement was done by Dr Tan, a treatment was given to bb immediately... his condition start to stabilise... Dr Tan was very thoughtful, he called hubby over at Beijing and told him not to worry much, but hubby already made his way to airport and managed to catch a midnight flight back home... He was weeping when i called him from clinic to update him about baby's condition, he must be worried sick...

We couldn't get a one-bed room so we settled in a two-beds room instead, only one person allowed to stay overnight for this. However the nurse was very kind, she allowed my mama to stay with me coz i pregnant... I was awake all night, slept beside Zq on the same cot... Poor boy, he couldnt sleep well coz the nurse would come in hourly to give him the nebuliser treatment, no matter how tired and how bad my MS was, i didn't wan to fall asleep, i very scared he will turn blue and gasping for breathe again...

Glad that he recovered well and was discharged last night. His asthma attack was triggered by normal cough & flu.. I could never imagine a common cough and cold can do such a great harm to my baby... It was too frigtening..

Through all these, i realise life is so fragile... I must learn to be a better mum, i have been rather impatient towards him, i feel so lousy... I never want to deprieve him any goodness of life such as ice-cream, travelling to cold countries, sports etc... Dr Tan gaves us lots of advices on asthma and i shall read up more on this, i want to give him the best care i can, i want him to grow up healthily and happily... This is my biggest wish now...

Little baobei...

It's my 11th week 6 days today. Though my 1st trimester ending soon but i still have no appetite and feeling nauseous...

Went for my routine gynae checkup today and so happy to see my little baobei again! It grows much bigger, currently at 56.8mm and doc mentioned to me a change of my EDD to 31st May 09. The little peanut was jumping and kicking actively during the scan, i guess it was trying to say hello to mama, papa & kor kor! So cute!

Doc did a NT scan and assured me the measurement is good, so very low risk of DS. And i also opt for the OSCAR test and blood test was done as well, so a total of 3 tubes of blood drawn!

So glad to see the little baobei is growing well inside me though i don't have much appetite and totally turn off with nutritious foods like fish, milk etc... I had lost 300g since last checkup and i didn't gain a single kg for my whole 1st trimester (fyi, i have gained 5kg when i conceived Zq coz i was a super glutton then with many holes on my stomach so it could never be fulled! :p)

Looking forward to see my little baobei again... Meanwhile, little baobei pls stay healthy and happy inside mama, mama will try to eat more nutritious foods for you to grow well & strong ya! Mama loves you...

Ziqian and Dericia Meimei

We back to Dear's house at Simei for dinner today. Dericia had grown so much since we last met her at Zq's birthday party! Babies at this stage really grow fast, she is currently 7mths+ and she is very advanced in her motor skill as keep wanting to stand and walk! Her legs are strong and "bah bah" also :)

Zq had fun exploring new sets of toys and indulged in his own world, not playing with Dericia at all. It took a while for him to warm up as he was all grumpy when he reached but very soon started his play-engine to the full blast, squealed with excitements all the while, esp when he was playing hide-and-seek with Papa :)

Zq was busy playing Dericia toy while she posed for camera :p

Zq: Hey Dericia, did u take out all your toys to share with me?

Dericia: Mama, kor kor bully me leh...


Both: No lah, we are actually good frens! See we hold hands together :)

Vaccines

Zq just had his last dose of Pneumococcal and Chicken Pox vaccines this morning.

Doc said these 2 vaccines are the more painful one as they supposed to be injected just beneath the skin. He yelled and cried so loud when the injections were done but recovered from shock very soon too.. I expected a super dramatic reaction from him coz it was his morning nap and he had to skip that for this vaccines.. Poor boy...

And he had a row of appointment dates all lined up for the coming months for all the optional vaccines:
Dec - Hep A 1st dose
Jan - Flu vaccine
May - 5-in-1 booster
June - Hep A 2nd dose

Im now looking at the options of egg-free vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella coz of Zq's egg allergy. However, this means 3 separate vaccines rather than the 1 combined one, which means more pain for him.. Shall give a serious thought on this...

Random updates

of what my little cheeky boy likes to do nowadays:

- stands up without support and likes to show it off to me very often with this
- walk a few unassisted steps (don't like us to hold his hands to walk at all)
- knows how to play shape-sorter (but depend on his moods, when he not in good mood he will just bang the thing or throw the shapes all over the place!)
- understand lots of commands, including close/ open/ lock the door, give me this n that, where is... how do u... (but again, all subjected to his moods :p)
- kiss and sayang me when i feel nauseous and make the nauseous sound (the sweeeetest part of him :)
- knows how to grab the remote control, point it to TV and wana ON it
- knows almost every titles of his storybook and will get me the correct one when i ask him to do so, and im glad he loves to listen to my reading... (however, im abit down with flu and cough these few days, he seems to dislike my current sexy sound, hope i will recover soon!)

Zq, though you are getting quite a handful now at the same time you are getting cuter each day and mama papa love you so much!!!!

Bukit Tinggi - Rabbit Park, Horse Trails (Part 2)

Actually Zq supposed to have his noon nap by then but he was so alert and reluctant to nap at all, kept tossing and rolling on bed and flashing his biggest smile! This little boy knew that he was on holiday so he wouldn't want to waste a min of it... So, here we came the Rabbit Park! :)


The Rabbit Park was indeed a big playground for all the kids, as rabbits were free to roam about and we could just grab and play with the rabbit.. So fun! The caregiver were there to teach us how to hold a rabbit properly and Dear did a good job!

Zq was not that eager to touch and play with the rabbit initially. So we demo to him how to stroke the rabbit and he was getting excited! He started to stroke the rabbit softly, then pat it lightly, then pat it harder and with an ultimate pinch! Poor rabbit was shocked and jumped up high, Zq was shocked by this sudden reaction of rabbit also and started to fuss around.... haa :p

Started with soft stroll and massage...
Pat and pat.. getting harder and harder...
A final pinch!
Poor rabbit jumped with shocked!

Papa, i want to pull rabbit ears...
Sob sob.. Papa, why they all don't want to play with me...
Baby rabbits - ranging from newborn to 6 months old!

We saw some deers nearby the Rabbit Park too. Zq was rather curious and wanted to stroke it again but of course, it was stopped by papa coz it might result a more drastic reaction than the rabbit!


Next, we moved on to the Horse Trails. We wanted to let Zq had a pony riding but was so sad that the person discouraged us to do so as he was too young for that! Hmph, i was so sad... I pleaded the person and told him that papa will "bjorn" the baby and we just let him ride for a few minutes but was still being rejected.. So Zq can only have such "close encounter" with the horse.


Some photos we took when we drove back to the hotel.. Nice scenaries! Zq was napping in the car while papa mama sneaked out for a few minutes of romantic moments.. hee


After his nap and shower, it was time for dinner! This little boy was very hungry and getting impatient for his dinner to be served :p

We wrapped up the day with a casual stroll at the Colemar Tropicale Square, enjoyed the lightings and the cool weather... And a banana split! Zq could only drool at it.. haa!
Oh... what a sweet kiss from him...
Mama kiss u back... Muacks!

Bukit Tinggi - Colemar Tropicale, Japanese Village & Botanical Gdn (Part 1)

Rather disappointed with the last weekend trip to Fraser's Hill, so we decided to go for another short getaway this weekend to Bukit Tinggi!

It was a 45 mins drive from our KL's place and the journey was smooth, no extremely winding uphill road and the weather was good too.

We checked in to our hotel room - a one bedroom suite at Colemar Tropicale once we reached. The hotel room was spacious and clean, most importantly it furnished with a fridge (a decent size one with freezer) and not those super-duper mini fridge... So i have a decent space to store all the meats and vegetables i brought for the preparation of Zq's meals :)

Some photos of our hotel's room:






We went for lunch and walked around at the Colemar Tropicale square. The weather is not as cold as what i thought but generally it was cooling and windy... It was indeed a french-themed resort, from the building design to the cuisines of the restaurants, a relaxing and nice holiday venue for family especially those with young children... And guess what, Zq met a clown here and he made a "sword" balloon for him! He was not that excited afterall, maybe was a little shocked to see such a colourfully painted face!
After which, we set off to the Japanese Village and Botanical Garden which were just a few mins drive away from the Colemar Tropicale.

We were captivated by the Japanese Village, it was very beautiful with lovely traditional huts, teahouse, koi ponds and landscape! I wanted to rent the Japanese costume for Zq and me (only RM20 per person), but such a pity they didn't have such a mini size costume for my small baby :( Zq enjoyed lots here, all because of the koi fishes! He get excited to see them swimming in the pond and kept saying "oo oo oo..." hee, so cute lah! :p

Then we moved on to the Botanical Garden, it was constructed on a steep hill so we had to go down many many steps along the way and sure super tiring for all of us! But Zq had fun exploring around, plucking flowers and leaves, stamping on grasses... which he not suppose to do so :p
