The Apple's Diary!

Date :  18 August 2012 Time : 12pm to 3pm Venue : Caffe Pralet  Theme : Mickey Mouse The not-so-very-cute Mickey Mouse sitting on a chocolate raspberry cake. 1.5kg to serve 30 pax with a price tag of $133.80 (after 10% discount). I didn't get a cake topper but got the baker to make the Mickey Mouse at $60!! Despite a swollen right eye, birthday prince was happy with this little party. All the birthday blessings! We only invited family and a couple of close friends. It was intended to be a small private family function. But the generosity of friends and relatives' covered the total expenses of the party with surplus. Definitely going to Jonathan's piggy bank.

I have not been able to update recently as simply my hands were tied down by a sick Jonathan. He celebrated his 1st birthday in a midst of medicine, high fever, swollen eye, phlegmy cough etc. It was his first birthday and was also the very first time he fell so sick that required him to see a PD twice in a week, and a trip to A&E with blood test. After this episode, I begin to wonder if I should do cord blood banking for #2. It is really so heart pain for the parents to see their little ones fall sick. But in the midst of many panicky nights and not to mention, little rest, my gynae's review today brought some good news to my ears. By God's grace, my cervical length appeared to lengthen. Really thank God and all the prayers that were offered to me. This good news just affirmed me further that Jesus' finished work at the Calvary cannot be undermined. All glory and praise to Him!

1. By God's grace and thanks to my mum, I survived 2 weeks without Darren as he went for his reservist.  2. Jonathan's 1st Birthday Party is happening this Sat, 18 August! I'm so excited =D 3. Detailed scan done this morning. Is going to be a little brother for Jonathan. No chance to buy girly stuff but good for pocket. Jon's clothes can be recycled. 4. Really thank God for His miracle hands. My placenta has moved away from the cervix opening, reducing one less complication. Although 1.3cm away from the internal onus, my heart shouts "Praise the Lord!" 5. However, cervix length is still shortening. Dr Ho is going to admit me when I hit less than 2cm (I'm at 2.5cm now). Going to plan for my home bed rest to avoid the hospital stay. 6. XP2 is really God's little warrior. What a mighty little boy he is, 388g at 20 weeks while mummy is now at pre-preggie weight.  7. We're going to bring Jon to the Garden by the Bay on his act...
