We were back to Raffles Hospital on 1 Jun 10 for Jenny's post delivery checkup by her obsterician & gynaecologist, Dr Tan Yew Ghee and Jenson's developmental assessment and vaccination by his pediatrician, Dr Veronica Toh. At 6th week old, Jenson weighs 3.35kg and has grown to about 49.5cm in length. We were glad to have a picture taken with Dr Tan at his office (left). Jenson received his first '6-in-1 + Pneumococcal' vaccination injection from Dr Veronica. Vaccines are for prevention of Hepatitis B, Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Poliomyelitis, Haemophilus Influenza B and Pneumococcal disease.

While the reigning F1 world champion, Jenson Button raced his way to win the 2010 Chinese Grand Pix in Shanghai on 18 Apr 2010, our baby Jenson raced his way into this world 6 weeks before his term to be with us at 5.41am that sunday morning. 
All this while, Jenny has been very instrumental and courageous in bringing our baby boy into this world and I felt that our baby boy should have her mummy's initial of 'J' more than mine. When I saw the news article of Jenson Button winning the China F1 race on 18 Apr 2010, it convinced me to take the name, Jenson for our baby boy. I related my choice to both Jenny and Janice and they agreed. We named our boy, Jenson Chee Wei Le.
Jenson, which means the son of Jenny, is one special Js in my family. We love you very much, Janice and Jenson.:)
On 13 Apr 2010 (Tue), on her usual round (33rd week of pregnancy) to visit her obsterician & gynaecologist, Dr Tan Yew Ghee at Raffles Hospital, Jenny is diagnosed to have pre-eclampsia (pregnancy-induced hypertension) with BP reading of around 190/110. She is immediately warded for close follow-up and monitoring.
However, in the early morning of 18 Apr 2010 at about 3.30am, I received a call from Jenny that she was experiencing some pain and there was some discharge from her vaginal. Over the phone, she told me that they had wheeled her to the delivery ward and had activated her obsterician. I rushed down to Raffles Hospital and on the way up, I bumped into Dr Tan Yew Ghee in the lift at about 4.30am who appeared to have been woken up from his sleep as well. His hair was a little messy and he was in his sandals. He greeted me and I apologised for having to trouble him at this early hour. He told me that the baby heartbeat went down momentarily earlier on but was back to normal again. After assessing Jenny's condition in the ward, he advised us to go for an emergency C-section to deliver the baby as soon as possible. We signed the paper to go ahead.
Jenny was wheeled down into the operating theatre at about 5.15am on level 7. I waited outside at the waiting lounge. At about 5.50am, I was greeted by Dr Tan Mein Chuen, a pediatrician who congratulated me that both mummy and baby were well. I accompanied him and the nurse who wheeled the baby to the neonatal centre on level 8. Dr Tan M.C. told me that as the baby is premature, at 34th week he is still very small and need close monitoring. On the way up, the nurse told me that the baby was delivered at 5.41am. Inside the neonatal intensive care unit, the measurement of the baby was done before he was put into the incubator. Baby Jenson weighs only 1.75kg at birth, 39cm in length and head circumference of 30cm.
I went back down to level 7 to wait for Jenny. At about 6.15am, Dr Tan Yew Ghee came out and greeted me. He told me everything went well and the moment the baby was out, Jenny's blood pressure dropped to normal range. I was relieved and he shook my hands before we parted. Dr Tan told me that he would be back later in the day to see us again. A while later, Jenny was wheeled out and I showed her our baby first photo (left) which I took earlier on in the ICU. She was still weak from the anaesthetic but was happy to learn that our baby is well as we wheeled her back to ward 825 on level 8. She slept well that morning on 18 Apr 2010. 
I am glad God has once again given me this opportunity to experience the anxiety in bringing my little baby boy, Jenson into this world. Thank you all, who have in one way or another, helped us bring this joy to our family again.:)
Janice started her primary 1 class with Radin Mas Primary Schoool on 4 Jan 2010. Both my wife and myself were as excited as Janice, to begin her next stage of school life in her mum former primary school. While my wife took leave from work, I participated in the "Back to School with Dad 2010" event to accompany Janice to school and took part in her school orientation programme. 
On the final day of her orientation programme on 8 Jan 2010, there was a Juniors' Parade march pass by the various P1 classes in the school hall . Janice's class of 1F also came in 3rd for the Class Cheer competition. Finally, parents were also invited to present a JP badge to the child to symbolise the child graduation from her first week in school.
Janice graduated from her K2 class with PAP Community Foundation's Radin Mas Education Centres in Nov 09. A Kindergarten Graduation cum Concert was held in Radin Mas Primary School on 7 Nov 09 with MP, Mr Sam Tan Chin Siong, Parliamentary Secretary, Minister of Trade and Industry & Ministry of Information, Communication and the Arts, as the guest-of-honour.
