Overnighter

Dearest Skyler,

It was a typical morning for you today. But it ended with something that you'd never experienced before.

In the afternoon, Papa came home early as we had to bring Mama to see the baby doctor. You were still sleeping when Papa got back.

Papa quickly got you dressed and we headed to the car. Mama didn't even have time for her lunch. After we got to the hospital, Mama went up to the clinic first as the car park was quite crowded and we couldn't get a lot easily. So, Papa and you waited in the car until we found a lot.

By the time Papa and you got up up the clinic, Mama had already gone in to see the doctor. As we couldn't go in today, we went out to the garden to let you sit on the turtle and tortoise. After a while, we decided to head back in to look for Mama.

As we were walking back into the clinic, we bumped into our baby doctor. She told us that she was admitting Mama immediately as Mama's waterbag had leaked and it had lost lots of water.

We went in to look for Mama and got details from her. Yes, it was time for Mei-mei to join our little family!!! :D

Mama was brought to the Delivery Suite and Papa brought you for lunch at McDonald's. You ate a bit of your chicken burger and corn. You finished the whole cup of Milo!

We then headed home. We'd planned beforehand to have Aunty Chris watch you when Mei-mei came. You watched a bit of TV and had your bath. You then wanted to choose your own clothes. You emptied out your drawers of clothes onto the floor in an attempt to look for something specific but you couldn't tell Papa which it was! This frustrated Papa to no end. Papa then had to fold all your clothes and put them back into your drawers. While Papa was doing this, you spotted the shirt you wanted. This was scant comfort to Papa though. :(

Papa then brought you to Aunty Chris's. She gave you a bit of food for dinner then you spent the night playing with Che-che Joan, Mei-mei Dawn and Kor-kor Luke. You played with toys with them, carried their hamster and did some drawing.

At 9 plus, you were so tired that you went to bed without any fuss. But you got up again at 10.30 and sat in the corridor. Aunty Chris was only alerted to your being awake by the noise you made. She came to check on you and you told her that you were not sleepy anymore. But everyone had already gone to bed so no one was awake to play with you. So, you went back to bed soon after.

Papa and Mama were so worried about you. This was the first time you have been away from us overnight. Thank God you were okay being with Aunty Chris's family.

Papa and Mama love you!
