It's our 2nd week now that Parisha is born...I'm beat!!! The 1st week of taking care 2 babies wasn't that bad..cuz Jeffry wasn't working yet so I had extra hands to help me out. Now that Jeffry is back @ work....it's a handful!! One would be crying and the other needs attention...Which do i attend to 1st??? Confusing isn't it?? Especially Anjeli & Parisha is about 13 months apart. Luckily Anjeli is quite easy...she can keep herself occupied while I take care of Parisha...I'm trying to work out a schedule between the both of them...I would like to get a lil bit of sleep...but can't. So, the schedule i got going was if one was sleeping then I have the chance to entertain or take care of the other...makes sense??? I'd be really lucky if both were sleeping...hehehe...I lucked out a couple of times =P
Today is Anjeli's last day of daycare..i'm taking her out while I'm out on maternity leave. So, today is just Parisha & I @ home. Michelle & Adrianna came by and we just hung out..and chilled...it was nice of them to come by.
I just can't wait till Jeffry gets home from work..than i can really get to at least relax a bit.
I have to say...it's tiring...but it's rewarding....

@ Kaiser Hospital, Walnut Creek
Alrightyyyy...it's been what...a lil bit over a year now that I haven't touched our blog??? I know..I know....This time, I will try the best I can to keep up with it...Anywhoooo...on with the story.....
After waiting for almost 9 months...the day finally came unexpectantly. So, the story goes like this....
It was Monday, Feb.19th. I got a call @ 7am from my cousin Olga, that my uncle had passed away...so, I woke Jeffry up and told him to get ready..cuz we're going to Tracy. As we were getting ready...and waiting for our ride...I felt a little nauseas. I couldn't help myself...and I had went to the bathroom & voumit. Jeffry had asked me if i was ok? After I had let that out..I said I was. During our ride to Tracy...my stomach was at times feeling ok...then all of a sudden felt kinda crampy...or a lil stomach ache here n there.
As we were just sitting down...my cousin's had offered me something to eat...and that's when it all started. I wasn't able to finish my food...and i felt nauseas again...went to the bathroom n voumit...and also had a bad bowl movement. I was going through that the whole day. I ended up resting in Olga's room. By that time...Jeffry had left to go to work...
Around 5.30pm...Olga had asked me if i had felt any contractions or anything like that...I said I don't know...my stomach was just not feeling right...and because my cousin works @ L&D...she said would like me to check your cervix for you?? I was like ok...i was curious too! In my heart I was hoping not to go into labor. Guess I was wrong...She had told me that I was 3cm dialated.
I was like " are you kidding me? " Since I had to give birth @ Kaiser..the closest was in Walnut Creek...Olga had called Kaiser San Francisco to fax over all my 411 Walnut Creek.
Then, we had to pick up Jeffry @ Pleasanton Bart Station before going there...by that time...my stomach was in a lot of pain...Something I've never felt before...during my 1st pregnancy. When we got there...one of the OB/GYN said...that it's just false labor...maybe i'm just stressed out. They were gonna send me home. I had protested...I said you guys can't send home...cuz i don't live in this area! I don't want to give birth on the road! I was just in so much pain!!!
They had put the baby monitor thing on my stomach..and another OB came in and checked my cervix....and said i was almost 5cm dialated. So I am in labor!!!!! Wow!!! That's 2 weeks early before my due date! I was supposed to give birth on March 8th.
To make the story short...it turns out I had caught the stomach flu...that's what caused the early contractions...and all. This 2nd labor wasn't a nice one at all...but I have to say the pushing was a lot quicker..and painless...thanks to the epidural...heheheh....
Thinking back to this event...life works in strange ways...less than 24 hours, we were mourning my uncle's death...then, I had given birth to our beautiful daughter Parisha. Who would've thought or predicted. This was the day one will never forget....
