Jayven turns one!

I can still remember clearly that a year ago (31 March 2012), there were signs of show & I was admitted to TMC. My gynae has advised for the jab to strengthen my baby's lungs in event of premature delivery (cannot remember the name of the jab though). No signs of bleeding the next day and i was discharged but advised to be on bed rest till week 38 before i deliver.

But the following morning (2 April 2012), I started to bleed again and was advised by my gynae to proceed to observation ward. My gynae suggested for me to stay in TMC (bed rest) for the next 2 weeks before delivery as I was only into my 34 weeks of pregnancy then.

When my gynae returned 3 hours later, I realised that I was having regular contractions & I have to deliver my baby via emergency C-sect. It was a stressful moment for me and my hubs as we were informed that if baby weighs less than 2kg, he has to be in ICU then. I was definitely not prepared for premature delivery, not at 34 weeks.

Thanks goodness Jayven came out weighing 2.125kg (just passed the 2kg mark) and he has to be in ICU for the 1st two hours only. When I first saw him, he was such a tiny baby and I was so worried that I may not know how to manage a preemie. He was not even 3kg when he was one month old.

Being a strong baby, he slowly caught up in terms of weight and development.

Time really flies! Today Jayven turns one and I am happy that he is healthy and developing well. Being a lil sunshine (he is a smiley boy), this lil charmer never fails to bring a smile to people around him. Though he behaves like a lil terror at home, he is a joy to be with and I love to watch him and his sister at play.


I wish that he will stay healthy and happy always. And share a good relationship with Janelle as they grow up together.

Happy 1st birthday Jayven! Daddy, Mummy and JieJie love you deeply!
