Hospital Tour

Entry By Bernard,

Today was scheduled a Hospital Tour of the Delivery Wards, Postnatal Wards, Baby Wards .... quite the VIP experience. We did an important thing of doing the registration first, hence saving the hassle on the actual day. There were experiences that the husband had missed the wife delivery, due to registrations. That is not going to happen.

No Pictures, cos the camera froze at the wrong time. Will go 1 more time to take the pictures again.

Jakarta Trip Baby Buys

Entry by Bernard,

Always thinking abt baby Esther even on overseas trips. The low standard living in Indonesia, allow me to buy this stuff for less than $2-3 each. Only the Baby Hello Kiity cost a bit more at $8.

28 weeks plus - Baby Esther Movements

Entry by Diana

Now at 28 weeks plus, Baby Esther likes to move frequently, especially rubbing movements at the right side of my tummy. Sometimes, i will wake up in the middle of the night and feel her kicking & adjusting. Comforting to know that im not alone wake at night :)
