Late nights random updates
I'm having insomnia and I can't sleep ๐ .. So I went to read through the past updates and it just brings me back so much memories. The good and bad one all lingering around ...
10th May 2011
The day whereby I found out Velle's existence. I still remember that I bought 3 test kits, before I head to school at Tampines 1 Guardian. I was so nervous and worried what if I'm really pregnant because I've missed my period for 3 months.
Tested all 3 and it's all positive. ๐
The first one I told to was my BFF, Veronica. She ask me faster go school and then we'll talk about it and ask me to go and see a doctor to confirm the pregnancy. When I reach school, we met at the canteen & she hug me.

27th May 2011
I went to Raffles Medical Clinic at Tampines 1.
Do all the necessary test and then the doctor actually help to do a ultra sound scan & that is when I first saw her inside me. So amazing. I was thinking, how come there's a baby inside my tummy. ๐ฒ
I was .... about 12-13 weeks pregnant and I've no symptoms at all beside missing period but I didn't really bother much because my period are irregular. And during that scan, the doctor actually told me it could be a baby girl.

6th July 2011
It's was that day when I know that she was a baby girl. We did the scan and she was very naughty that day, she shy shy and she keep hide that the Gynae was not able to see what gender that she has to ask me come back later. ๐
I remember doing quite a few times before the gyane can confirm with me that what's the correct gender. ๐

Naming her ๐ถ๐ป
I spend really long time to think of what unique name I could give her. I Google for names and then start "creating" name myself or playing with the names and trying to come out with something .... then I came out with the name .....
Shervelle ๆฌฃ้ข (Xinying)
Initially I wanted to name her Chlovelle because of the beautiful meaning but ... then came to know that there are someone using.
So, I "combine" the name, "Sher" & "velle" which comes out "Shervelle".
Sher - Princess or Dear one; I think it kind of suit my first princess and it's also our dear one . Velle - Tough; Meaning she will be a brave and withstand the problem because she's tough.
As for the Chinese name I don't know because it was chosen by my Mom.

I'm at 28 weeks pregnant .....
I was 7 month plus pregnant and no more scanning was done until I'm pregnant already. So, all it's about is to wait for my baby girl to arrive the world.
38 weeks pregnant and see that ugly tummy! ๐ญ
Shervelle's Birth Story
On 21st Nov'11: I feel really sick that day, I keep vomiting and I was really restless and it was aching so badly. Actually I went to Google why and what happen, it says could be sign of labour. Mom asked if I should go to the hospital or go see a doctor but I rejected.
On 22nd Nov'11: Still feeling the same and then I was in the bed the whole day. Until in the night time, 11pm plus, I saw bleeding. Slowly shower while my family got nervous. Haha. ๐
They monitor me for .... 45 mins to 1 hr.

Gyane checked I was 3cm dilated ...
I was pushed to the delivery ward, needle all poke here and there (okay la, hand only la) then gynae/MO/midwives came and they actually broke my waterbag to induce the birth. ๐ฒ
Contraction start coming in and I really couldn't bear with the pain. So I took epidural. ๐ฌ which leads me to "no feeling" at all until birth. And slowly dilated more and more .... and then ...

Shervelle is born!!!!! ๐
Anyway, there's side effect for taking epidural. For me, it's shivering, a bit itching then slight fever. But after all, I'm alright. And after baby girl was out, she was placed on my chest while they stitch my torn part up. ๐
There isn't really pain feeling because I took epidural, I can only feel the sewing going through. ๐ฌ

24th November 2011
We were told that I can discharge soon in the noon. Good thing about natural birth. ๐
But natural birth is still better. ๐๐๐ป
Dad even took emergency leave to fetch me and baby girl home. Hehe. I was officially a Mommy already.
BUT CONFINEMENT REALLY SIAN.
I cannot eat this or that, I can't shower, I can't wash my hair ๐ญ and etc. Even if I wanted to shower I've to boil some type of water. & I actually secretly showered my head ๐
Btw Shervelle's was born on the EDD that gynae gave ๐

28th September 2012
I have missed my period for 1 week and this time round I have morning sickness which was really bad. I literally vomit even without eating. I had a strong feeling I was pregnant again.
Thus that day before heading to work, I went to Guardian again (don't know why I like to go Guardian lol) to get a test kit and tested, and yes, I was pregnant.
On the day, I went to booked the clinic for ultra sound and also to check if I were really pregnant but it shows nothing on the scan ๐ฑ

The doctor then ask me to do a urine test again (maybe want to earn money?) lol anyway I did. It was positive & he told us that it might be too early therefore nothing was shown during the scan.
And we were on separation terms, many was wondering how come I was pregnant; I was like, "of coz we had intercourse therefore I'm pregnant right?" If not come out from stone? ๐ช I was really questioned by a lot of people and I'm wondering "what has it got to do with them?".
Human's nature, curiosity.

I was 14+weeks pregnant.
Baby is growing well but I'm losing weight, because I didn't eat and some time I ate and I throw up. Most of the time I threw up. The entire journey for my 2nd pregnancy was very tiring.
I forget to mention, my crave of food during both pregnancy are KitKat. The entire day, I can be eating KitKat and nothing else. Power hor hahaha!! ๐
My EDD was 27th May 2013 ๐

I was 20+ weeks and it's time for gender check. ☺️ It was a baby girl!
Before going for the check up, I did ask Shervelle if it's a didi or meimei and she say it's meimei. Hahaha' ๐
Looking for a name for meimei was easier because my mom actually thought of using "ๆฌฃ่พ” because she find "lei" is nice as she was watching some Taiwan drama LOL!
So I was looking for something that sound like her Chinese name and I come out with "Sherrine" meaning Sweet and Pleasant Princess! ๐

Maternity Shoot with Shervelle
27th April 2013
27th April 2013
I bought this package at Groupon and it's just so affordable! It was a package that comes with 90 mins of photo shooting, 2 outfits for change (if you want), take back 5 edited soft-copies/photos. I bought the deal by the recommendation from Yvonne, she told me about this deal that White Cottage Sg is having and told me it's definitely a worth to purchase the deal so I bought it.
I feel that it's a little not worth taking so much photo and you only take back 5 photos right? That's why, I purchase ALL the photo that is taken for only $70/- ! Where to find such price in Singapore already? That's why, I believe it's definitely a worth and I'm damn lucky to get such deal! (Y) Everything only cost me $85/-. Which is like god damn affordable for 210 photos! And it depends on how much you can take in 90 mins!
It was a month before Sherrine is due.
Look at the bump, so big right. ๐ฑ
Hehe so cutie! ๐
There's still a lot more but I've choose this few out of many because they're the nicest of all and I like most. Hehehe. The whole experience was good but i do prepare food and toys to make sure she is cooperative throughout this photoshoot. ๐
Last bump shot. ๐

Estimated due date
Estimated due date
I was told by the doctor on my last visit on 22nd May that if Sherrine still got no sign of labor, I will have to be induce on the 27th May, which is her due date. Went to Hospital with Dad & Mom, done the routine test, visit doctor and check that I was 2cm dilate, still no sign of labor, so I was told to do CTG and scanning , then I'll go back to doctor and see if I'll goes for inducing. After long hours of waiting and checking, doctor told me to wait till Friday, 31st May.
No sign of labour at all ๐ฐ
I was really nervous because I really don't want to have emergency C-sect. I want to give birth naturally! ๐ฅ
Sherrine's Birth Story!
On the 31st May: I prepare and head out to KKH with my mom and reach around 9am plus. Had the usual scanning and CTG for an hour plus. Waited for doctor until 12pm and told that I'm 2-3cm dilated.
Went to do the admission and was bring to ward, by that time it was already 2pm plus. Same ward when I gave birth to Shervelle but different bed. Hehe.
Waited till evening, Dad, Sis and Shervelle came to find me & they went off at 8pm plus because no visitor was allow so I'm all alone there.

Waited since 2pm for delivery suite, I got so fed up for I've waited since 2pm until 2am, in between I keep asking the nurse if it's ready for me to go but they keep say it's full. I think they got annoyed as well, because I was told that I've to give birth asap as Sherrine is very big.
I was pushed to delivery suite, same delivery ward. Do all the checking and all the document stuff. It was around 2:30am when I'm in the delivery suite. They put IV drip & antibiotics as my GBS tested positive.

They broke my waterbag at around 3.50am. CTG is also on, and they start monitoring my contraction. It was not regular so they want to put me on drip for regular contraction, and so they ask if I want to take epidural. I told them yes!
Around 5am, the doctor came to inject epidural for me and after epidural I was on drip for contraction. The whole process was quite relaxing because no pain was felt and the contraction are regular and quite close also.

Around 6.40am, I was only 4cm dilate still got a long way to go, I thought. Wait and wait, so around 7.45am I was told that I'm 5cm dilate, so it took about an hour plus for 1cm and at that moment I started crying because one of the staff nurse told me that my baby's heartbeat heartbeat is dropping and I was like "WHAT THE FUCK?"
I cry non-stop and can't stop worrying, until a senior staff nurse came in.
So the senior staff nurse explain to me what is wrong, she even told me I got to be calm and happy, as my mood still do affect the baby. I start to calm down and try to be relax even if I can't.
After that, she say, "if later you have those shitting feeling, immediately press the nurse bell okay?" I was like, okay.
Not long after she went off with another nurse, I start to feel contraction and I feel like I'm giving birth any time soon. ๐ฒ So I waited awhile as the feeling not strong.

And I can't stand anymore, I press the bell and told the nurse I feel like I'm popping anytime soon so she inform the doctor and then 3 of the MO came in with the two nurse along too. They check that I was 10cm dilated already at 8.35am but baby's head still not that low to push yet so still got to wait.
Around 9am plus the senior staff nurse that comfort me came in and she's the one that helps me deliver Sherrine! :') She ask me to push when I got this shitting feeling but out of the sudden, the feeling gone and is not coming back then she say, okay never mind you push now even if you got no feel!
I was like "HUH?!!" Okay, so 1, 2, 3, PUSHHHHHHHH ~ Within 3 push, I heard Sherrine's cries and then they place her on my chest. :')

My chubby little girl weigh at 3.65kg and 51.5cm tall. Look how much bigger she is compared to jiejie. ๐ฑ
After that I rested there till around 12pm plus then I was push back to the ward. It was such a tiring journey. It's so damn tired that I actually sleep the away, but until 9pm plus the doctor came to tell me something.
Sherrine has to be warded at special care nursery ๐ญ

First Chinese New Year together with her. ☺️ She's such a smiley baby, every time smile smile de. And still so cute ๐
10th February 2014
Meimei is diagnosed with Kawasaki Disease. The terribly bad news in the year on the 4/5th day of Chinese New Year. ๐ญ
Test was done when.
By the way, all test that is done do not give us an 100% answer that she is suffering from Kawasaki Disease because until now there is no exact treatment and test that diagnosed KD. They can only compare the blood cells and tell/guess.
The ONLY treatment was IVIG drop.

The ONLY treatment was IVIG drop.
However, taking IVIG there is a risk. Because IVIG which is the only treatment for KD, it's dangerous as because this medication is made of lots of human's blood and thus, we don't know if there's any transmitted disease in the blood or it could be an allergy for anyone who took it that's explain the risk of taking IVIG.
I DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE.
IVIG will last for almost more than 12 hours, Half way through the medication, her leg couldn't take in anymore, so they've to pluck in the new place for her IVIG. Thus, they pluck out both legs and insert her hand.
I cried so much that few days, I can't even sleep well when I'm home. The medication lasted till 5-6am in the morning. She falls asleep after that while I rest awhile as well.
You know how it feels when your smiley girl who smile all day doesn't smile and kept crying? I was dying that few days. And finally my sulking baby that few days has smile.

On the 13th Feb, I head to KKH with Sister and Shervelle. She's missing her sister so much that she has been crying for her. The moment we alight and she sees meimei, she keep shouting for her. And I almost teared when I see it, because it feels like they're finally back to one another's arm. :')
Heart scan was done.
We were told that her coronary arteries is mild swelled and thus she has to continue aspirin for the next 3 months till her next scan which is on the May.
