Hello Amber,
On morning of 23rd April, Sunday, they did a blood test on you for your jaundice and Dr Yong Sin Chuen examined you again before discharging us. You had slight jaundice, nothing alarming but we just have to sun you a little at home each morning. Your previous day's blood test result came back and you are 0+ve, same as mummy.
Uncle Jeremy came to see mummy and advised me to breastfeed you as much as possible and recommended to supplement with formula - Snow P7 if breaskmilk was not enough. He said I'm well enough to be discharged.
We were discharged from the hospital in, afternoon. It's actually your papa's birthday, so both your birthdays are very close together, only one day apart. Sometimes I wonder maybe you are god's gift to papa for his birthday.
We went home, picked up some stuff before going to Kong Kong's house where we'll be staying for 2 weeks. Papa set up the baby cot for you and I tried nursing you. Mummy was very worried as you don't seem to be getting enough milk, so we gave you some water and Snow.
This is your first night at Kong Kong's home. GrandAunt Chee Looi came immediately to see you and they said you are very 'cute' !
Bye for now , my dear....

You are 2 wks 1 day old today.
Mummy has not written to you in a loongg looong time. My love, you have finally arrived.
Mummy and Papa was looking for another caretaker for you. Since your discharge from the hospital, we have been in Kong-Kong's house for 2 weeks and y'day we moved back home.
OK, let me tell what has been happening since your arrival, you certainly took a long time to arrive, mummy was in labour for almost a day from admission to Labour Ward C219, Pantai Medical Center at 8am on 21 April 2006 for induction at 8am. The midwives, Uncle Jeremy and Dr Damo - the anaesthethist was very supportive. Mummy panicked when I had not dilated , I hopes I was not forcing you out. Papa prayed to Kuan Yin and I prayed too and after a short nap past midnight, mummy felt contractions and the nurse told me you are on your way !!! That was abt 4am on 22 Apr 2006. The nice midwife ( I cannot remember her name ) was so good to me and I was afraid she'll be off shift soon at 7am. She assured me you'll arrive by then ! I started pushing after 5 am and papa was supporting me all this while ( but i think he was very very afraid but excited to see some little hair of yours popping out ).. Uncle Jeremy came in slightly past 6am and in a while you were out at 6.18am !!! Actually mummy saw the clock above me when they took you out for cleaning and test, the time was abt 6.13 am but Unc Jeremy noted your time of birth as 6.18am (good number .. hahaha). He heard papa calling you 'Amber girl' and thought your name was hamburger !!! That's how your nickname 'little hamburger' came about.
They put you in my arms right away, you were very slippery, and very warm. Not crying yet but your mouth was wide open. Mummy cannot descibe the moment to you but papa had some parts of it on video for your viewing. The cleaned you up, had the apgar test done (you scored an 8) and brought you back to mummy but we were very tired and engrossed with sms to inform everyone of your arrival (they have been calling from australia, singapore every where the night before) to check if amber has arrived. You were snorting with phelgm and very alert. looking left and right, around the room.
They took you away for a bath and paediatric check soon after and 2 hours later mummy was in the post natal ward C328. You smelt sooooo nice, looked so gorgeous,so fair, soft and baby when they brought you in. Lots of people visited you, Auntie HT, Yeh Yeh , Mah Mah, Uncle Chee Keong , Uncle Michael & family, Koo Ma & family, Choo Yee Yee, Yee Cheong, Ah Keong kor kor and all of Papa'e Yee Yee's. Later at night, Auntie Wai Fun, Steve , Norman and Kein came to visit you and us. Everyone's very excited to meet baby Amber for the first time
You spent your first night with us. Papa was sleeping on the deck chair...you were calling for us every hour and there's once you were crying, we didn't want to adhere to your crying, was afraid of spoiling you.. and later we found out you pang sai !!! It was your first meconium 'sai'. Very happy to see your black gooey 'sai'. Mummy was trying very hard to breastfeed you but I could not see any milk at all. Was getting worried that you may end up hungry.. Lots of other people visited you on Sunday, Uncle Leon, Auntie Ei Leen, Auntie Junice, Uncle Keith, Uncle & Auntie Jackson. Everyone just wanted to see you.
Mummy going to bed now, it's 11.30pm , 7 May 2006.
Hugs and kisses a plenty from Papa and Mummy

Hello Amber,
36wks now ...
Mummy has created an email account for you. You are still in mummy's tummy, awaiting to see the world in about 4 weeks time.
Papa is working very hard to provide for us. Papa is very anxious about your arrival, be good and give mummy a good delivery ok ?
This morning, mummy woke up with red rashes on my legs and some mild rashes on my tummy. Papa was worried that it could be dengue but after checking with Dr Jeremy (he will be delivering you to the world :) ), he said it's not a problem. Rashes on my tummy means reaction to your urine !!! Mummy's asked to drink more water to flush out toxins and the rashes should be controlled.
I wonder what and how's the world for you in mummy.. you seem to be squirming and turning a lot each day by day. Mummy's enjoying this pregnancy very much and waiting for your arrival, please help mummy with a safe delivery and remember.....
mummy and papa loves you very much !

Before I got hooked on bloghopping, I sent emails to my Amber. I created an email account for her when I was 36 wks pregnant.
I'm glad I did create an email account and she'd better thank me for grabbing the login id 'amberong' for it's really hard to get ones own name as login id.
Now, as I read back my mails to her, I recall back those moments of impending motherhood, the excitement of having a baby for the first time and how precious she was to us then. I used endearing words to describe her. She was 'my darling baby', 'my precious' and 'princess'. Now, she's the smelly fart, naugthy fart, cheeky fart, chow babeee, hamburger and all things BAD !!! Terrible huh ? MIL's maid calls her 'jahat' and her cousin sister is 'nakal'. What apt names for both of them. LOL !
Well, she should know how much we love her, despite all the bad names.
As her 4th birthday approaches, hubs and I reflect back the past 4 years with sweet memories. We have our moments of despair too, when she's ill, when she fell and lost her tooth, the blood, stitches and all or when we had to pass her from one minder to another like a football coz her babysitter was not well for a couple of months and now, her journey to be allergy-free.
Oh well, parenthood is never easy and bumps and humps are just part and parcel of it. We chose to be parents and it's our responsibility to give our best care and love our child.
Ok, back to amberong, I'm going to journal down the few emails I sent to her in this blog,
