Poor Baby C Was Poked Twice

Posted on July 4, 2008July 4, 2008 by Shireen

When the doctor told me yesterday that she needs to have Baby C’s blood taken, my heart skipped a beat or two for a moment for I know it will surely be extremely difficult to find a vein in her chubby hands or feet…. which means that the nurses have to poke her a few times. My heart…

5-Hour Wait In The Hospital

Posted on July 3, 2008July 4, 2008 by Shireen

Today hubby and I brought Baby C to HUKM (Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia) to consult the pediatric nephrologist for a suspected Kidney Reflux. We reached the hospital at around 10am. We could have been earlier but Baby C puked when I fed her the antibiotics in the morning and I had to changed her and feed…

Does Baby C Look Like A Boy Now?

Posted on June 28, 2008 by Shireen

I wrote in my earlier post that almost everyone who sees Baby C the first time would comment that she looks like a boy. Well, last night I dolled her up in her cheh cheh’s old dresses and what say you now? Does she still look like a boy now? Baby C in this Pumpkin Patch dress…

Poor Baby C Has The Sniffles And A Stuffy Nose

Posted on June 24, 2008June 24, 2008 by Shireen

My poor Baby C has a really stuffy nose, which makes nursing extremely difficult for me and uncomfortable for her. Try pinching both your nose and drinking at the same time… it feels terribly uncomfortable right? That’s just how she feels and she has to unlatch to catch her breath whenever I nurse her. The Tonimer…

Another Thumb Sucker

Posted on June 22, 2008 by Shireen

Looks like Baby C is another thumb sucker, taking after Sherilyn. Sherilyn is still a thumb sucker up until now, at 3 years 4 months of age. Baby C has been sucking her fist for the past few days and yesterday, she had finally discovered that her thumb tasted better than the entire fist…. Catch Baby…

Aqueous Cream For Eczema

Posted on June 16, 2008June 16, 2008 by Shireen

Baby C’s face is now cleared of eczema. Although it is not 100% flawless yet, it is nevertheless improving and her complexion is glowing now. I did not really alter my diet (Baby C is still breastfed exclusively) and have been drinking milk 2-3 times a day, I still eat an egg a day, I…

Baby C Is Besotted With Sher’s Hickory Dickory Clock

Posted on June 14, 2008 by Shireen

Daddy bought this toy clock for Sherilyn when she was 10 months old. There is music in the tune of ‘Hickory Dickory Dock’ after the clock is being wound up and both the hands in the clock will move with a ticking sound. When Baby C cried non-stop 2 weeks ago, Daddy dug out the old…

Baby C In An Oversized T-Shirt

Posted on June 10, 2008June 10, 2008 by Shireen

When the IV line was still inserted into Baby C’s hand, there was a big bandage covering the line. I could not put on her regular clothing on her, except for singlets. Since she could not wear her jammies, I had to wear her with Sherilyn’s Mothercare t-shirts for ages 2-3 (as seen in this pic). I…

Feeding Baby C Medicine

Posted on June 9, 2008 by Shireen

Feeding Baby C antibiotics requires TONS of patience, ideas and energy. I started off feeding her the antibiotics at 8:30am today after Alycia and Sherilyn had gone to pre-school and only finished the entire 3ml at 9:45am…. which I split into 3 sessions. It took me 20 – 30 minutes to squirt 1ml of antibiotics into her…

Updates on Baby C (Day 6)

Posted on June 8, 2008June 8, 2008 by Shireen

Last night when we brought Baby C to the hospital for the antibiotics jab, the nurses told us that the dr. has given them the green light to remove the IV line from Baby C’s hand. I was really happy to hear that as Baby C does not have to be in pain anymore. I…

Poor Baby

Posted on June 7, 2008 by Shireen

Despite all the pain that she had gone through, Baby C is still not cranky and does not cry all day. As long as she sees me and have my teat teats all night long, she is a very happy and content baby. I’ve just gotten back from the hospital. It breaks my heart to…

Baby C With The IV Line On Her Hand

Posted on June 6, 2008June 6, 2008 by Shireen

That’s BB C on the 3rd day of her stay in the hospital. The dr finally managed to find a vein in the morning and inserted the IV line to the back of her palm. It was really heart-wrenching to see her being ‘tortured’ like that. Her cries really broke my heart into pieces. With…

Updates On Baby C (Day 4)… Back Home Finally

Posted on June 6, 2008June 6, 2008 by Shireen

We are finally back home but not discharged from the hospital just yet. I have to bring BB C back to the hospital 3 times a day for her antibiotics jabs (at 9am, 4pm and 11pm). The dr. has given us home leave, which means that we still have to pay for the room for the…

Updates On Baby C (Day 3)

Posted on June 5, 2008 by Shireen

I am back home to bathe and to pack some stuff again. Finally this morning, the paed managed to find a vein on the back of BB C’s left palm. As expected, BB C wailed her lungs out when the needle was poked into her hand. My heart bled too seeing her tiny hand being poked and…

Updates On Baby C

Posted on June 4, 2008June 4, 2008 by Shireen

I am back home for a short while to take a shower and to pack my breast pump and other stuff. Baby C’s fever went up to 39.3 degrees Celsius at 4am today. The nurses stripped her down and sponged her…. and she wailed her lungs out. They asked me not to put on the…
