Coping with 2...

Hmm, Yang? Another 2? Haha...
So I am back to write in after so long. I took a long break from writing in.. way before I deliver. Just wanted to focus on Izzul then. I guess I focused on him a little too much and the arrival of his little sister as Ez have mentioned, was still a hard fact for him to accept. Izzul was never the kind to throw tantrums but with Batrisyia in the house now, it has become quite common nowadays. My heart goes out to him. I wish there is someway that I can convince him that we love him no less and with Batrisyia around, he will have a friend to play with. Its even harder to put through this message in between his wailings. It's trying but of course, no regrets :) The first few days were really hard. With the hormones coming into play, all I could think of then was to go back in time while I was still pregnant. Or when we only had Izzul. Things were simpler. But thanks to Ez for the shoulder and family support, I'm slowly getting back to my senses. So ladies, never pent up your frustrations or even sadness. Share them with people whom you love and loves you. You'll be able to see things clearer.

The Arrival of Our Princess

Phew...! The waiting is finally over. Let me present you our little princess Batrisyia. For those who has been following our development on facebook, she was supposed to due on 16 June 2009. Yeh, she is one day overdue. Our Gynae told us to come back on 7am the day after. And guess wat? we managed to catch our last movie " The Night in the Musuem 2" :) What would possibly have happened if she were to give birth there.

Anway, Batrisyia was delivered on the 17th at 1033 hrs weighing at 3.58 kg. Heavier than her brother Izzul. Can't imagine the pain Mas had to go through. But the 2nd delivery was indeed faster and easier. It went well. Thanks to all for the well wishes. Can't believe that I am a father of two now...Two to go... yes mas? ;)

Izzul is at a crossroad, I guess. We could see that he loves his sister but yet he can created quite a ruckus to get Mas's attention. I think he felt that Batrisyia has stole his limelight at this moment. Wow! Its quite challenging when both of them starts to cry. This is the start of our sleepless night. I am grateful that everything went on smoothly. :)

2 days to go....

Today we went out as a family again...with Mas 2 days to go.. She requested to go somewhere where she could do more walking to speed up her delivery.... Does that really help?... I dont know... I think she will deliver just on time. After we went to her friend's wedding, we headed straight to Sentosa. It's so convenient when you can just drive in there. It has been a while since we visited Sentosa. The last time we went was before our marriage.. our dating days. :) We decided to visit the Underwater World. Izzul was dazzled by all the facinating fish like giant garoupa, stingray, sharks, octopus etc...he loved the stingray the best. You can actually feed the stingray just by purchasing its meal for $3. Next we went to the dolphin lagoon. By then Izzul was feeling totally uncomfortable from all the walking, so he managed to just enjoyed the first 10 min of the show. He slept right after we head home... I hope it helps for Mas... She is still walking strong. (Photo session with two pythons)

6 days to go

Phew! Based on the ETD (Estimate time delivery) Mas will deliver on the 16 of June. 6 days to go before the arrival of our baby daughter. Hooray! As for today, I need to send her to her last check up. Not sure what to expect. Currently, although she has started to experience contractions, it is not regular. The intervals between each is still very far. So I guess, it won't come earlier than the ETD.

Well, this will be my second delivery experience. I'm psyched up for it again. The 1st one, when she gave birth to Izzul, was a priceless experience.

So really, what can a guy do in there? As simple as it sounds, we just need to be there to give our full support and encouragement to the dear wife. It's a struggle for her at that time. The unbearable pain is what you wont feel. Yup, not even when she clutches hard onto your hand or gripped your arm really hard. The pain just don't match up to what your wife will be going through.

You know the baby will be delivered once you see your gynae coming in. I can still remember his words. "Ok, the baby will be out within the 2nd push". Wow...At this moment, get your camera ready guys.. To capture the very moment your baby is delivered, still covered with blood fresh from his mother's womb. The best part was that, at the end of it all, only then did I notice the sofa that was prepared for me by the delivery bed. I was so excited by the things happening in the room that I didn't notice this comfy sofa. I guess it happens most of the time and that explains why it still looked so new after all this year.

Unfortunately, the moment I wanted to put my butt on it, Mas called out for me...
