A Sweet Intro

This blog is dedicated to our darling boy, born prematurely at 29 weeks and miraculously survived all odds during his 57 days in the ICU. We named him Reagan, which means our "Little King", strong and brave enough to fight any battles. He is also our little king whom we worship with a lifetime of our love and kisses. Baby Reagan continues to amaze us with his awesome strength, big personality, joyful laughter and lovely smiles. This is where we share both our learning journeys and all the fun bonding time together.

Reagan's 2nd Birthday

This year's celebration is going to be a simple and intimate affair. Days before his 2nd birthday, we took him to Barney live in concert and coincidentally the theme was on "Birthday Bash". Reagan was familiar to the songs sang and could relate well to the performance, he certainly had a blast as we took turns to bounce him on our laps, singing and dancing together!

On his actual day birthday, we surprised him with helium-filled balloons and an ice-cream cake to celebrate in school with his classmates and teachers. The balloons which were purple, yellow and green actually represent the colours of Barney and his friends. After singing the birthday song, Reagan presented each balloon to his friends.


Reagan's fever, cough and flu returned once we reached home. Our poor boy was feeling very uncomfortable but still extreme excited over his mini birthday celebration at home! We had prepared another surprise for him, a customized Barney & friends fondant cake with his name on it !

 (This mini cake came with a hefty 3 digits figure pricetag and doesn't really look like the picture I emailed them to customise, oh well..)
Reagan knew exactly what to expect after he saw the cake and immediately he began to clap his hands and hum the birthday song to himself haha!
 
That night Reagan's fever shot up pretty high to 39 degrees, we were prepared to rush him to the A&E once he hits near 40. I was quite depressed, thinking that my boy may have to spent his birthday night in the hospital? Luckily we managed to control his temperature after the whole night of sponging and medicine feeding. 

Dear Reagan boy, you're finally 2 and till now there is never a day we didn't remind ourselves how blessed and lucky we are to have you into our lives. Your lovely personality always brings so much joy, laughter and positive energy to people all around you. 
Dear darling, happy 2 years old! Daddy and mommy not only promise to love you, but  also promise to love each other, and will always be by your side.

CNY 2013

This is Reagan 's first Chinese New Year celebration with us, however he was down with fever, cough and flu, the ultimate triple combo virus.I blamed it on the unpredictable weather these few days and also his daddy whom I believed that Reagan might have caught the virus from him. With a bad cough, running nose and thick phlegm stuck in his throat, he showed much discomfort and was not at all in his good mood and best behaviour this CNY week.  In almost every of his photos taken, his eyes were welling up with tears and mucus dripping down his nose. 
Baby Reagan's first "Lo Hei"
Baby Reagan gets to receive angbows...but he seems more interested in the oranges..
 It's not as easy feat to take a good family picture with a sick and cranky baby...but we tried and this is the best we can get..
 On the 3rd day of the CNY, our baby boy's fever subsided but we still have to battle with his cough and running nose. He would struggle and cry hysterically each time we attempt to force-feed him with his medicine or to wipe his dripping mucus away. However his mood was much better today, at least he smiles again when we talk or sing to him now.
And because he has also been vomiting his meals out during his cough fits, he lost nearly a kg and looked even more malnourished. When he recovers, I promised to invest more time and effort in researching for recipes and preparing his food personally. Hope to "fatten" him up before his 1st birthday.
Mommy and daddy understand you are crying because you are uncomfortable and upset over the awful virus-attack. Our heart aches each time you cough uncontrollably until you spew vomit out from your mouth and nose . We know you will get well soon...love you always, our darling boy.
