Welcome home!

After another day's stay in the nursery due to jaundice, our little boy has finally come home! :)

Here's him settling down in his cot nicely and snoozing away..

Boo!

Just 2 days ago, our last appointment with the doctor showed that the baby's growth has slowed down. Perhaps due to concern with the little (or big) mishap with a 3 ton truck just a couple of days ago, the doctor scheduled an urgent detailed scan at TMC first thing on Thursday morning after the public holiday.

It then spiralled into a flurry of rapid activities: Scan -> Waiting for scan results -> Lunch -> Doctor review of scans -> Surprise* -> home -> packing -> hospital.


The marathon started with admission at 315pm. Into the delivery suite, at Observation Room 3.

Monitoring starts and we hear the rhythmic pulsations. Now is the time to catch up on sleep first before we start trotting for the uphill task ahead!

*Low amniotic fluid. Upon advice, to induce 3 weeks ahead of original date!

Room Prep

When we first did our renovations 2 years back, we had two spare bedrooms that we decided to use one as a study and the other as a guest room. There were painted with a blue and pink theme respectively. While the guest room has served its purpose well playing host to friends and family (as well as the "ironing" room), it was time to set it back on its path towards its true destiny..

Yes.. the room is to be used for... kids!

It may seem like all is going well according to plan...almost. Except that even in this modern day and time, pink is for girls and blue is for boys. And our first-born has every sign and intention to be a baby boy.

So something has to be done then.. Out came Plan B. More than a year ago, we got hold of some cute pictures to use as wall decor for our nursery to be while on a trip to Bangkok. This weekend, Barney stocked up on his supply of 3M picture hanging hooks and strips, and put them to good use:

Do these 4 pictures make the room more masculine now? :P

We also chanced upon this inexpensive wall decal at AMK Hub ($15.90 before 20% discount) that we put on. Being vinyl stickers, they can be peeled off easily next time. Of course, we chose a jungle team instead of the princess or dolly ones..


Hehe.. the first pic does look like the baby section in a department store with some of the stuff we bought. Thank goodness for Capitaland Mall and Robinsons vouchers ;)
