Baby C @ Day 20… And Enjoying Her Bouncinet

Posted on May 1, 2008May 1, 2008 by Shireen

That’s Cassandra @ day 20 and this was the first time we put her on the comfy bouncinet. Cassandra now spends more time awake and demands that she be carried or talked to. This morning I did not know what she wanted. I had nursed her and had talked to her for quite some time…

Baby C @ Day 16

Posted on April 24, 2008April 24, 2008 by Shireen

That’s Cassandra at day 15 and day 16 Baby C’s legs are very thin, they were even thinner at birth, just like skin wrapped round her bones. Sherilyn even commented yesterday that baby C’s legs are like ‘chicken legs’, how very right she was in her description, LOL! I’ve been nursing Cassandra all day and…

A Little Update On My Life As A Mum To 3 Kids

Posted on April 24, 2008April 24, 2008 by Shireen

I have been nursing Baby C the whole day today….. non-stop and it is really tiring me out. Sometimes, she just wants to suckle my teats for comfort and not for milk, otherwise she wouldn’t go to sleep. Sherilyn is also desperately seeking a lot of my attention lately. She has been resisting our instructions and would bawl…

Baby C @ Day 14… And She Has A Name Now

Posted on April 22, 2008 by Shireen

Today, daddy finally went to JPN to register Baby C’s birth. Finally, daddy has settled for the name Cassandra Yap Kay Lee. So Baby Callista, Caitlyn or Caeley is now called Cassandra or Cassi in short. Baby C is starting to get addicted to my teats. For the whole of this afternoon, she has been…

Baby C’s Drinking Pattern

Posted on April 21, 2008 by Shireen

Baby C’s appetite and demand for milk are becoming stronger each day. My breastmilk is insufficient to satiate her ravenous appetite. I now have to increase the formula to keep her tummy full. From 2 ounces of formula a day, she’s now drinking around 4-5 ounces of formula on top of my breastmilk. My breastmilk…

Baby C At 10 Days Old

Posted on April 19, 2008April 19, 2008 by Shireen

Baby C is quite a good baby. She wakes up 2-3 times a night for nursing and does not poo poo in the middle of the night anymore. I am nursing her on demand and sometimes I supplement it with a total of 2-3 ounces of formula in a day (once or twice a day) when my breastmilk is insufficient…

Baby C Smiling

Posted on April 18, 2008 by Shireen

Baby C has been smiling in her sleep intermittently for the last few days. I managed to capture her in action yesterday. At times, when I talk to her, she will also smile at me. I was at the hospital the whole afternoon today waiting to see my gynae for another post c-section problem. I…

My Nightmarish Post C-Section (Part II)

Posted on April 17, 2008October 2, 2008 by Shireen

This is a continuation from Part I…. For the first time in my life I was desperately hoping to pass out wind. I could feel my tummy harden, followed by an immense pain each time the spasm of the guts attacked me. I was praying to God day and night for a miracle to happen. When my Ob&G…

Baby @ 6 Days Old

Posted on April 16, 2008April 16, 2008 by Shireen

These pix of baby with different facial expressions were snapped yesterday @ 6 days old : Hubby and I have yet to agree on a name for Baby. While I like fanciful and girlie names, hubby (who is quite a Chinaman LOL!) prefers a more conservative name. We still have less than 7 days to come up…
