Derrick's Hand Print at Month#4

Hehe, finally mommy managed to accomplish her mission on the clay artwork brought by Aunt Shawn 1 month back. Mommy decided to give it 1 shot (no 2nd trial) as mommy think that Derrick's little hands are too delicate to be covered by those clay. The only missing part is Derrick's photo that Mommy promised to develop one of these days... Thanks again Aunt Shawn for her gift, this is a special and memorable gift for both Derrick and mommy to remember as Derrick grow up.

For remembrance ...

These ultrasounds were taken when I was pregnant with Derrick. Just wanted to upload and keep sake it in my blog to remind me that how lucky I am to have Derrick in my life...

Derrick just luv it when mommy kisses him!

My lil' darling juz luv it so much when mommy kisses him on his cheeks. I wouldnt want to miss a single second with Derrick. I wanted to be the ONE beside him when he first say out MOMMY!, when he puts his first step forward, and when he did his rollover, when he lies on his tummy doing mini push ups, when he deliberately cries just to catch mommy's attention. He and I went thru the thick and thin together for 10 months, and my Derrick never fails to console or amuse me whenever I feel that my world has fallen apart. Oh, I just love him sooooo much. I cant wait to bring him back for 2010 CNY gathering. In fact I am starting to count down by now just for Derrick to meet his Wai Po, Wai Gong and Yi Yi's for the first time. I will devote my 100% to Derrick and spend the rest of my life watching and enjoying Derrick's growth..I will smile and celebrate his happiness and success, while weep with him when he cries. I will be the one who help him up when he falls down... this is the promise mommy gave Derrick..

From new born to month-4

I spent the first 1 month plus breasfeeding extensively and thanks to the effect, I trimmed down from 70kg (weight taken right before delivery) to 56kg successfully. Of course having to take care of Derrick 100% on my own helps to get rid of my excess fats faster as he really drained out every ounce of my energy. I am lucky as Derrick sleeps thru the night (which is quite uncommon among newborn) from month-2 onwards. I pratically spent every waking moment watching this little life grow bigger every day. I always dreaded having to take care of baby as I will lose all my freedom once my baby is born, until Derrick came into my life. I found myself falling in love with him more and more. I would surrender my whole life to him, watching him saying his very first baby words.. Anku...and waking up only to find him smiling at you as if telling his mommy that everything will be wonderful with him around.

The day when I first met Derrick

I was reborn on the day I delivered Derrick. It was 10:43am when the docs cut across my lower abd to let my little Darling out from his mommy's womb. My eyes were filled with tears when I hear his first ever cry in this world.. The first sentence that I was able to hear was the midwife saying " here is your baby boy '... and I was still subcouncious as the effect from the aneasthetic..

I was immediately transferred to the ward after my C-section and the nurse only brought Derrick to me in the afternoon, when I started to regain full conciousness. The first time I met Derrick after carrying him around, talking and singing to him for 7 months... I will always remember the wonderful moment of seeing him for the first time.
