Daryl is going to have a little sister in November 2010

Yes, I am expecting again and this time with a little baby girl. Shawn is looking forward to have his little daddy's girl since his little boy is more sticky to me.

The baby gender is confirm on 9th July during my detail scan. Even though way before Dr Beh have told us that it is 60 to 70% confirm to be girl. We have been preparing Daryl on his little sibling when Dr Beh confirm my pregnancy in late March. However, as Daryl is still young and at the awkward age where one moment he seem to know and understand but the next moment he is like do not know what is going on, so it is abit hard for us to really explain to him.

However, being a sweet boy, I remember that there was once, I ask him what will he give baby when baby is born, he ran into his little tent and take out a ball and gesturing to give to baby in front of my tummy. But as he is also a rather 'stingy' boy, when I ask if he will share his toys with his baby, he will scream and say 'mai mai', yes, he speak abit of hokkien.

Before we know the baby gender, and whenever we ask Daryl if he want a didi or a meimei, his reply is alway 'mai mai'. Haha....guess, he is afraid and worry of sharing his toys and sharing our love and attention ba. (Silly little terror, mummy and daddy will love you all the same)

After baby gender was confirm, we have decided on the name almost instantly (we already more or less decided when it only 60 to 70% confirm). She will be named Sheryl. (Must be fair, you see, the first alphabet in Daryl name is same as mine so no. 2 one must be same as Shawn lor). Furthermore, beside the names (both Daryl and Sheryl) rhyme, their meaning are about the same, which is the main reason that I chosen this name.

Now I am 5 months plus pregnant (about 23 weeks) and enjoying every single little movements that little Sheryl make. I do think that she is much more active than Daryl last time lor and I do feel more unwell and tired this time too. However, being a mother, all is worthwhile as long as our little ones are growing well and fine.

After months of preparing my baobei Daryl, I do think that he is more or less aware of his coming little sister. Now, whenever, I ask him where is Sheryl, he will put his hand on my tummy. In fact, at times he will suddenly say sayang baby and sayang my tummy or kiss my tummy too. See how sweet my little terror is when he is not into his terrorism act.....muahahaha.

Although Daryl is abit rough coz afterall he is a boy mah, but I do see his gentleness when dealing with little baby. Coz I ever saw how he just stare gentlely at Johnny's niece and let the 6 month olds girl pull / mess with his hair when he is just over 1 year old at Johnny's son 1st Birthday. Then recently, I saw how he sayang and kiss his little cousin Xuan at my parent house and not forgetting how he will sayang and kiss his 9 months old classmate (baby boy) in the Music Together enrichment class. Somehow, I do believe and is confident that he will be gentle to little Sheryl too, as long as no one stir up his jealousy.

Now what we need to prepare little Daryl is for him to be less possessive of me, so that he will not be angry or jealous when I carry little Sheryl after she is born. Hopefully, we will be successful on this.
