Feeding Time

Today I'm 11 days old and I try to hold my feeding bottles :)

Bath

I bath with guinness stout today.. Daddy believe that it can help to prevent milk rash..



Do I look drunk? :)

My Umbilical Cord

Daddy and mummy were chatting last night about my umbilical cord.. where they should place it when it drop off?? Daddy's family have an old folk belief that it should be wrap in an ang bao and either be place at a high high place or in some important places (e.g. president house, police station etc.. it depend on what they want me to be)..

Some thoughts were.. Dr Ong's clinic, Istana, Airport, Banks.. Daddy, if you throw it in Istana.. you will be in jail.. haha!! It makes mummy laugh so hard that her wound hurt.. Although my daddy do not believe in this.. but he is going to do it just for gorgeous..

At midnight, while mummy changing my diaper.. daddy realised that my umbilical cord has drop off.. Mummy was busy trying to find it..


My umbilical cord.. look like a dried oyster..

It was in my diaper with my pool of POO.. so mummy has to take it out and wash it.. as you can see some of my gold sticking on the tissue :P

Mummy, lucky you check my diaper.. otherwise I will end up as a toilet cleaner :(

Gorgeous's Input & Out-POO

My supply of milk..



Ha! Ha! This is my poo poo.. and Daddy says it is SMELLY!



Daddy, is a pot of GOLD!!

My 1st Outing

Mummy wake up at 7am today.. She clean herself first before waking daddy and me.. We have an appointment with Dr Ong at 9.15am.. as today is a weekday, we decide to drive off from home at 8.15am..

I behave myself through out the journey so daddy will being me out more frequent.. I didn't sleep in the car as I find the outside world, moving greenery, car, sky.. very interesting.



We see Dr Ong at 5th level.. then we proceed to 4th level for blood test.. Daddy and mummy decided to put me on the metabolic screen test since they were going to draw blood from my foot..

I think I'm well behaved as I only CRY for 3 times.. There were reasons why I cry.. 1) Poo on my diaper, 2) I'm hungry and 3) they draw blood from my foot..

I quickly fall asleep after the blood test.. My jaundice was well under control at 11.9 level.. so we were given the green light to go home :)

Next appointment is 18 April 2009 and they are going to jab me!!

My Car Seat

Daddy put me on the car seat for test drive.. as I'll be going out for the 1st time tomorrow.. We have an appointment with Dr Ong Eng Keow (Consultant Paediatrician and Neonatologist)of Singapore Baby & Child Clinic located at TMC.



Ermm.. so comfortable :)

Sunbath

Daddy put me to sunbath as I've mild jaundice (approx. 8.7 level)



See.. I'm enjoying.. Do I look like sky walker? :P

In Hospital

Our 4D/3N at TMC.. Daddy & Mummy check-in to TMC on 13.03.2009 at 12am. Operation is at 8am.. We were on the premium floor of TMC and our super deluxe room is newly renovated.. Mummy couldn't sleep that night as she was nervous..



At around 6am, the nurse came to our room to dress mummy up and prepare her for the operation.. Mummy was pushed to the operating theatre at 7:30am.. Dr Paul Tseng came by to chat with mummy and reassure her that everything is fine.. Dr Kong/GA was also very nice and he keep chatting with mummy to ease her nerve. At 7.55am, mummy knocked off.. and she only hear Dr Kong's voice at 9.00am to wake her up..



The first thing mummy asked when she awake was.. How is baby? Daddy says they are bathing me and will bring her over once it is done.. The moment when mummy see me.. she was so delighted that I'm a healthy little princess..







Mummy was on drip for the day after the c-section.. the drip has got morphine which keep her away from pain.. the nurses take good care of mummy.. changing the drip every 6 hours and measuring her blood pressure and temperature every 2 hours through out the day and night..

Daddy was having a good time.. enjoying the 5 stars facilities (6 meals per day and wireless Internet).. He even went over to the nursery room several times per day just to peep at me..



Mummy has her drip remove a day after the operation and she was given lunch and pain killer.. then mummy tried to stand up and walk around the room.. Surprisingly, mummy did very well..



We have many visitors and gifts from our friends.. Baby Mia was also busy entertaining daddy & mummy's friends..

Daddy & mummy are thankful to everyone at the hospital.. who are so patient, kind and helpful.. and our friends and relatives who call, sms and visited us at the hospital..
