Vivana's Birthday & To The Park

We went to Vivana's 2nd birthday a year ago and time flies, one year passed and now it's her 3 years old party. The party was held in their house in New Lynn, very near to where we used to live.

It was raining very heavily on that day. We drove all the way from East Auckland to West Auckland and we were waiting in the car for the rain to stop. Val was getting so impatient as she saw all the cars coming. Finally, we managed to get ourselves into the house. Due to the rain, they've moved all the hired toys to an empty room. Val and her friend, Charlie (if I'm not wrong) were playing with them......mmm....other kids are kind of more obedient......they didn't come and join them.....

Val saw Vivana's birthday cake....it's a butterfly.....and she told me she wanted Mickey Mouse.......even though, now she has changed it to Thomas The Train. We didn't stay long in the party as at that time, my tummy was super big.....and getting tired easily.....so we left after being there for an hour.

It's spring in NZ now.....and finally, there is one dry weekend. On Saturday, we brought Val to Domain and Mission Bay after finding where the birth care is located. We were thinking just to let her run around and exhausted her.........and in both places, there were ppl giving her some breads to feed the birds. She was so happy. When we went to Mission Bay after Domain, she told me she wanted to buy bread to feed the birds. We found on dairy shop and the bread costs NZD3.80. For goodness sake, I'm not going to pay that to feed the birds!!!!!!

Luckily, one kind lady gave it to her while we were walking along Mission Bay. So that night, we went to Countdown to get a loaf of bread so that we can bring along to the park the next day. She was happily holding the bread and told Benedict: Daddy, this is for birdies, not for you. Don't eat it!!!!!

The next day, we went to Manukau Botanic Garden.....well, there are not many birds there.....lots of ducks instead......but so many ppl feeding the ducks till the ducks are not eating anything. Finally, we found few ducks 'in hunger'......but the place has no barrier and Val looked like throwing herself into the ponds while she's throwing the bread....so I was screaming here and there and told Benedict to keep a close eye on her.

At the end of the day, I can see both of them 'regretted' to bring me along.......making all the noises....ahhahahah....Benedict complaint that I made two of them stress!!!!!! ahhahaha....... Anyway, the most important thing is my little princess is having a great time. =P

Baby Wesley

Baby Wesley was borned on 05 October in Auckland Hospital. After 6 hours....mmm.....well, I had epidural.....so no pain....his face finally faced down and only took me 15 minutes to get him out!!!!! We were transferred to Birth Care in Parnell. It's a lovely place where all mummies are there....no sickies......so a safe place for all new borned bbs. I was there for 3 nights.

Wesley weighed slightly above 4kg when he was borned. Well, he is not a fat bb, he is quite tall in fact. At least this is what I think. ehheheh.......But he is a very strong bb. He tried to lift his head the minute after he was borned! He smiles and tries to turn his head from left to right (vice versa) on the first week. We've got a confinement lady coming in to help us and she told us he won't have flat head as he knows how to move his head when he feels uncomfortable.

Wes has to wear all Val's old clothes. We haven't bought too many pink clothes when we have Val. But some clothes are in pink. We think that's alright for him to dress in pink anyway. Somehow, we ourselves got confused. We keep thinking it's a girl. ahhahaha........While in Birth Care, talking to other mums, in the middle of the conversation, I've just realised I kept saying SHE and everyone thought it's a girl......so I have to correct my statements.....Even Benedict said: Good Girl....=P [See how much Val has influenced us!]

Val is coping well with the new bb brother. After 40 weeks of brain washing her....ahahah.....she knows she's a BIG SISTER now.....and she really tries to act like one! Believe it or not, she hates shower....she only wants bath....and we have problem in getting her out from bath to shower....[too costly to keep having bath lah].....

Now, she's BIG SISTER.....she said: I'm a BIG JIE JIE now.....I NEED SHOWER!!!!!

We are very very pleased to hear that!!!!!!!! hahahaha.....

And when Wesley dozed off after having milk...I scolded him saying he is going to naughty corner. Val will side her brother: No Mummy, he is not naughty. I don't want him to go to naughty corner.

She gave Wesley some rattles of hers........she cleaned them before giving to him.

We've tried to tell her to keep her voice down while bb is sleeping. Well, she told everyone off for making the noise.......sssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........MY BABY BROTHER IS SLEEPING!!!!![in loud voice].

She told us she wanted to hold and cuddle Wesley. Whenever we mentioned she's BIG JIE JIE....she will behave for 1-2 minutes....hehehe.....

Even though this is my second bb, but somehow, I forgot what's happened when i had Val. mmm.............maybe I'm getting old...heheh.....

But no doubt that Val and Wes are our precious and we thank God for giving them to us. They have completed me and Benedict. =)
