Waiting for Donald and Toria

August 30th, 2010 · No Comments · Videos

Liz has no class this morning.  She was bored and whiny, difficult for my helper or me to do any work.  So I brought her out for a walk, walked to Duchess Estate Playground.  I like this playground as they still have the traditional swing.  We went there for a little playtime.        [...]

Time to Clean out those Ears!

August 29th, 2010 · No Comments · Just Family

Docs will scold me for this, but my kids love to let me dig their ears.  And I love to dig out those big pieces from inside.  I’ll check their ears periodically, especially when they start to ignore me when I talk to them. Then when we do dig out big pieces, we will tell [...]

Class Photos 2010

August 29th, 2010 · No Comments · Just Family, School & Enrichments

Previously I was so upset with the hairdresser who cut Donald’s and Victoria’s hair horribly, thank goodness their class photos still turned out well. Donald looked especially nice in his graduation potrait.  He came home and told me that the photographer asked him to smile, but he replied the photographer that he doesn’t know HOW [...]

Bassinet for Bella

August 28th, 2010 · No Comments · Just Family, Pregnancy & Post Partum

Bought this Graco bassinet long ago, during Donald’s time, but kept it very well that it still looked like new! Decided it was time to assemble it again, for dear Bella.  This time round, the kids wanted to help out.  Donald was helping me with the screws, and both Donald and Victoria helped to button [...]

Isabella at Week 34 & Dr T.C. Chang

August 28th, 2010 · 6 Comments · Pregnancy & Post Partum

I got Daddy to talk to Dr Chin on the phone, since he couldn’t accompany me for my next visit.  I wanted him to tell her that we “insist” for her to do my op.  But she still thinks it is better for me to do it at SGH for safety sake.  BUT I really don’t [...]

Donald’s Canvas Painting Artwork

August 25th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Just Family, School & Enrichments

Toria is attending ballet class at Palais Dance Studio at Crown Centre.  There is a One Art Studio there, so I signed Donald up for art lessons there while Toria has her ballet class.  一石二鸟。 Normally they will paint on drawing paper.  But if I pay $10 more each time, he can choose to draw [...]

Isabella at Week 33

August 24th, 2010 · No Comments · Pregnancy & Post Partum

Went to SGH for a scan again today.  Prof Tan confirmed that my case is Placenta Increta.  Looks like there is a 4mm space before it hits the bladder.  So as long as it is not Percreta case, he is still quite comfortable with it. BUT I don’t feel comfortable deliverying at SGH.  I feel [...]

Donald Makes Liz Laugh

August 23rd, 2010 · No Comments · Just Family, Videos

Liz is so tickled by Donald, and Donald absolutely adores this sister.  Both him and Toria actually.  At dinner time, both of them would fight to sit next to Liz.  Both my helper and myself couldn’t get to sit next to Liz because of them, aiyoh! makes it so tough to feed her at mealtimes [...]

Toria and Liz Sing and Dance

August 20th, 2010 · No Comments · Just Family, Videos

Toria loves to dance, she likes to wear her ballet shoes at home and put on some classical music and spin around.  Liz also picked that up from her. She would wear Toria’s old ballet shoes which are too small for Toria and a tat too big for Liz.  She would also spin around. Today, [...]

Liz loves to join in the games that Donald and Toria play.  Even though half the time, she doesn’t know what they are playing, but just following them, running around, laughing together with them, is enough to make her day!

Swim Videos

August 6th, 2010 · No Comments · Just Family, School & Enrichments, Videos

Donald is really improving leaps and bounds. He can jump in and swim the breadth of the pool by himself.  And today, he attempted swiming back and forth the breadth of the pool without help and without stopping.     Toria is younger, thus her progress is slower.

Here is Isabella at Week 30 scan.  She is showing us that she has big feet?  Tall girl I hope!   Dr Chin had some worrying news for us today. I have placenta previa, which is low lying placenta, covering the cervix, which means I have to go for c-sec, which is fine for me. [...]
