Our Little Prince Has Arrived!

At exactly 40 weeks gestation and after a couple of pregnancy complications in the 3rd trimester, our little prince charming entered into the world on his expected due date - August 13, 2015 - at 9.45pm, weighing 3.45kg and measuring 52.5cm!



Our little man came out looking exactly like his big sister when she arrived about two years, two months and two weeks ago.


Just like my previous labor experience, this one has its own birth story - a very, very different delivery experience, with just as much dramatic effect - to which I will share with friends and family at some point.

Our firstborn princess, kakak Keira is super excited about her official promotion to "big sister" status.




Keira can't seem to get enough of loving and kissing her little brother every second she gets with him, from the moment she saw him outside the delivery room, which will definitely make our transition into a bigger family so much easier.

The videos below of Keira's sisterly love will surely melt your heart!



Our newborn prince is definitely the perfect addition to our family. [Notice I did not use the word "completion", instead chose the word "addition" *wink* Although a pair is probably more than enough for us to handle as it is, deep down, I still have that motherly urge to carry twins after this *wink, wink*.]

He loves it when I hold him close and I am completely taking advantage of every second of snuggling with him. OMG, I'm in love all over again... Best thing is that he has also given me a second chance at breastfeeding, and we are definitely off to a great start :)

Welcome to the world our new charming little prince, Jayden Rayyan Lee Bin Aziz Kevin Lee!


Today marks one week since his birth, and both mommy and baby are still resting and recovering in hospital. 

Thanks to family and friends for visiting us over the past week and for the lovely bouquets of fruits/flowers and presents.


We can't wait to take him home with us very soon and begin our new chapter as a family of four.

A Day Away...

We're about a day away from the expected due date of baby #2 (one day to 40 weeks gestation), yet there seems to be no regular contractions.

Kakak Keira seems to be bonding well with her belly brother and is finally in the mood take some photos.

Hello, 39 Weeks!


So, this is what 39 weeks pregnant feels like! 

During my previous pregnancy, I only made it to 38 weeks and then I popped, so making it to 39 weeks this is definitely a new milestone.


Good news is that today's scan showed that baby's head is already engaged and estimated weight is 3.6kg. Hopefully this means that he is getting ready to come out very. very soon! :)
