OMG! its friday already??

time really flies and my baby is 14 days old already!

***

anyway, i realised that mummies are worry tarts - they worry ALL THE TIME.


when baby sleeping soundly, she wonders if baby has enough milk and should she wake the baby up for her feed. *paused and checked if baby is still breathing or have fainted from hunger.

when the baby does not sleep, she panics why baby isnt sleeping. is baby having enough sleep? is that eye bags coming out? did she get skinnier?

when baby drinks lesser milk than usual, she frets and thinks of ways to make the baby finish up her milk.

when baby seems to want more milk even she was just fed an hour ago, she worries about over feeding the baby. she consults her best friend to check how much milk should a 3.7kg baby drink. wait, is baby still 3.7kg only?

when baby poops, she analyse the poop and records them down. any changes in colour and texture, she would again consult her best friend IMMEDIATELY if the poop is "normal".

when baby dont poop after/while having her meal (as she usually does. FYI, she is quite talented at sleeping, drinking and pooping all at the same time. so proud of her), she anxiously wait for her next poop.

she frequently checks her for dry skin (a symptom of dehydration) and every little funny noise she makes when she sleeps will send mummy running to her bedside.


sigh. when will mummies be "normal" again?

i like the top left photo the best. 

thats why its the largest! hahahaha.. 

okok, i know i am getting a little obsessed but she is growing up too fast!

missing..

the hubs was giving the little girl her 230am diaper change.. btw, this little girl ALWAYS does her first/last big business at around 2-3am.. o.O

since she was in a good mood, he slowly changed her. when he was putting on her diaper, we realised that her umbilical cord was missing!

we searched through her soiled diapers but we could not find it! 

after a frantic find and we resigned to the fact that its lost.

the hubs then continued to burp her and found something hard in her clothes.. lol.. 

the missing umbilical cord.

barely a week and i am already missing her newborn stage! especially her smell. how i wish that is some kind of scratch and smell sticker or something to preserve the sweet smell she had. she is growing up too fast for me!! :(

rosanne's first visit to the doctor.

we took the little girl for her first check up with dr rhonda watts today. she seems to be doing fine except for her jaundice level went up a little (still in the "acceptable" level though) and she still not back to her birth weight. she left the hospital at 3.5kg and was only 3.6kg when dr rhonda weigh her today. =(

the little girl is always falling asleep half way through her feed and refused to be awake no matter what we do. dr rhonda suggested burping her to wake her up but we did and it did not work, AT ALL... hence, dr rhonda asked us to try syringe feed her if every thing else dont work.

so we got some syringe and a can of formula for just in case before we left the hospital. hopefully she will gain some weight soon. i miss her chubby cheeks. =(

anyway, the little girl did not even flinch a bit when they took the blood test for her jaundice. =)

my little 乖寶寶.

i also have check up with dr lee today. he checked my wound and commented that i am recovering well. =)

he also removed the stitches and i got scare. 

"WAIT! pain anot!?"

"you want epidural?"

okie, fine. -_-"

us with dr lee. =)

rosanne with her frog prince at 5 days old.

as the clock is fast approaching 11, i am anxious to know how our second night at home with rosanne would be like..

would she still be fast asleep like a burrito? 

or a little terror would appear like last night?


1040 - the little burrito has started stirring...


last night at 11pm, like clockwork, she opened her eyes and made sure we don't close ours till 6.. -_-"


1043 - there are weird noises coming from the little burrito...


every half hour she wants to be fed and after suckling for 5-10mins, she falls asleep and would not be aroused. then she wakes up 30-45 mins later wanting to be fed again... O.O


1048 - the little burrito is frowning..


i did tell the hubs before when she was still in my tummy that she gives daily live performance at 11pm everyday.. at 11, she will start to have a lot of movements - kicks, punches, swimming, etc.. so apparently, even out of my tummy, she is still giving live performance to earn her milk money..


1052 - the little burrito stirs again and her swaddle is becoming loose...


today in the day, we tried our best to keep her awake. but this little girl just wants to sleep. the more noise/sound we make, the sounder she sleeps. sounds familiar? =P

anyway, we tried our best already. hopefully she can sleep for longer periods tonight.


2300 - she is still sleeping!





*update

2311 - she is awake!! #anothersleeplessnight
