Documenting this birth story down before age catches up and decides to eat up my braincells...

23 Nov, 750 am, felt slight contractions which equates to tummyache...told xl, thought nothing of it, since i had the same "wanting to shit" feeling the day before.

9 am, had breakfast while feeling he occasional mild contractions come and go...

945 am, went toilet wanting to sit and wait for poo to slide dwn - showdown  spotted, told xl its time...
Both of us took shower - dress up, make up , after all 1st impression is important.
Called my parents to pick mxl and helper up.

1030am, was still joking with xl, how he should sped up, before i lay the egg in the car. While he told me how he will need to find me a tree branch to bite on..

1050 am, checked in mount e hotel. While i change out of home clothes to delivery gown, waterbag burst while trying to get on the bed. Contractions felt  very bearable, despite high contractions noted

1115 am, xl went to park his car. while chitchatting with nurses, kowa came and was checking on me, told me i dun have to waste money on anything - cos i am already 9cm dialated and he can feel her head. (WTF) i didnt even hzve time to clear my shit.
Nurses were all preparing the room for delivery

1130am, xl came back and just in time for delivery. Kowa told me in 3 pushes and she be out...
With the support of the midwifes and xl by my side, i god damn mother farking push with all my might while sweating profusingly....at the same time worried that i will pushed my shit out.

1155am. The world stood still - my little Xandra wrapped and straight to my arms. The whole ordeal was so fast, i didnt feel Kowa giving me a LA and doing the stitches...

Till today, i cannot believe how fast and furious the birth of Xandra was. Even Kowa was amazed - he asked if i was lucky or just good treshold of pain...i told him both...

I am blessed in so many ways and i give thanks.

HAPPY CHILDRENS DAY

Just cos, you are worried that I will forget...

Today at 27 weeks, the MOML called me "Bor Bui" (jokingly)...

Luckily I have a son, who loves me so much, walked up to the father and told him he is "Bui-er"

Thats love.

Today, the little dolphin swam 10 laps in the deep pool, unaided with any floats...

You go, dolphin!!

She has been a living statue in my life, my "roommate" for 2 decades - shes someone never gone...

Despite the inevitable tension between us - now that shes gone, the feeling of an empty void inside me is inexplicable...

The LMOML and the BMOML shared a bond which is beyond words....

"Mama, now I can swim like a killer whale.  I can leap like a killer whale.. I will be a killer whale one day and I will bring you along with me..."

I duno how to unlove this boy...

Happy birthday to the BWOML...

Dun give me that lame shit: good what can travel...

Cos you wont ustd till you are in my shoes...especially when the son and i share the same heart beat...

The moment you saw me when you opened your eyes....

You threw me a big hug with kisses and together with tears...you whispered... You missed me...

My heart melt and at the same time broke....

I love you darling, i love you very much...

So here i go again and with love from the MOML

Today marked the day of your 1st sleepover at porpor's house ...

Now it feels weird at home without you...

Phuket 13-17 Feb...

 

the good old gif animations summarize the trip perfectly.

AWESOME.

 

The kiddo is growing up well (sometimes too well for me) , with his articulate speech and socializing skill, I can leave him alone, at the same time not losing sight of me, to very well socialize around at a house party and hold engaging conversations with, well, adults...

Nevermind that he is only 4 , fore together with his basic etiquette, brings joy and is loved at every house party... hes definately my pride (which parent isnt of theirs), my love, my partner...

But which of cos with him around, its not possible to run home at 5am thus power juices are kept at max of only 3...
