Arrival of Charis Kuan

Smiley princess Charis arrives on 25Nov2008!

She sleeps a lot in the day ... look at the double eyelids ... hehe

Part (A) The Labor

Went to the gynae on 24Nov and baby is exactly 38 weeks. Found that the umbilical cord was around her neck from the scan so doctor advise to induce birth immediately since baby is already full term. Contractions began around 9pm at night and baby came the following day at 3pm after 18 hours!!

Song Song Herbal Bath!! Funny name ...woahaha ~~

Part (B) The Confinement

I didn't bathe for one week! Amazing that i could actually "ta-han" that long. After a week we need to bring baby back to the pediatrician so that was the best reason i gave me mom for letting me bathe (mom, i can't go out in this smelly messy state, can i?!) .. hehe ... but i was made to bathe in water brewed from Song Song Herbal ... the name itself is hilarious ... suppose to get rid of "wind" in your body. Ok, i'm a good girl so i listen to my mom ^_^

Part (C) The Recovery
I gained a total of 20 kg for the pregnancy, lost 10kg after the labor, so i have 10kg of excess baggage compared to my pre-pregnancy days!! 10kg should be ok la, hope i get to lose them soon with much exercise!!
