Baby C’s 6th Week Vaccination

Posted on May 27, 2008May 27, 2008 by Shireen

Yesterday, I brought Baby C to the paed’s office for her 6th week vaccination, which is a DTaP, Hib, Hepatitis B and Polio jab combo. I also went for my 6th week check-up with my gynae and did a pap smear which hurt like hell. Of course Baby C wailed when the needle was poked…

Alycia Adores Baby C

Posted on May 26, 2008 by Shireen

I am lucky that both Alycia and Sherilyn adore their new baby sister. So far, they have never tried to do anything to harm Baby C like hitting her or throwing things at her. My mum told me that when I was born, my eldest brother would throw his pillow at me when I slept…

Bringing Baby C To Work

Posted on May 23, 2008 by Shireen

That’s Baby C in daddy’s office when I had to bring her along with me last week to complete my assignments when the internet to my house was disconnected for 8 days. The first day was bad as she did not want to sleep and kept whining. I was at daddy’s office in the…

Baby C’s First Outing To The Restaurant

Posted on May 21, 2008 by Shireen

Baby C’s first outing to the restaurant was on 17 May 2008 – to daddy’s favorite Duck King Restaurant in Jaya 1, PJ. Since we could not find Sherilyn’s old stroller, we had to carry her throughout lunch, which lasted more than 2 hours….. and I had an achy left hand after that. She also…

Bringing Baby C To Work

Posted on May 18, 2008May 18, 2008 by Shireen

I have no choice but to bring Baby C along to hub’s office to work yesterday and today….. and I brought her bouncinet along. What a life-saver the bouncinet is. As I am typing this, she is fast asleep in her bouncinet….and my left leg is bouncing the net! I have just nursed her and…

Baby C’s Eczema Flared Up Face

Posted on May 13, 2008May 13, 2008 by Shireen

See how blemished and red the eczema has caused my poor baby’s face. The eczema is so bad that her cheeks feel rough and I bet it must be painful too. She also has mild cradle cap on her scalp and eye brows. I removed the cradle cap from her eye brows by rubbing the brows with baby…

Baby C Only Wants Mummy’s Teats

Posted on May 11, 2008May 11, 2008 by Shireen

I got so exhausted letting Baby C suckle my teats the whole day and night that I decided to give her the pacifier 2 days ago but know what? When her lips touched the pacifier, she furrowed her eyebrows, then used her tongue to push out the pacifier and gave me an expression that said…

Cassandra’s Fullmoon Party

Posted on May 10, 2008May 10, 2008 by Shireen

We celebrated Baby C’s fullmoon on Thursday, 8th May, i.e. 1 day earlier so that koo koo (youngest sil) is able to attend as she had to fly back to Saipan the following day. We had buffet dinner (maki, sushi, chicken curry, beef rendang, turmeric rice, fried rice, stir-fried mixed vege, tartlets, red eggs with…

CL’S GONE AND I AM SO BUSY

Posted on May 9, 2008 by Shireen

My confinement lady’s finally gone back today. While I can finally breathe a sigh of relief that she’s gone, I have been really busy, so busy with Baby C who is super cranky today that I hardly have time to do anything else. She has been crying and whining the whole day and I’ve been nursing her…

Baby C Doesn’t Want Formula Anymore

Posted on May 8, 2008 by Shireen

After successfully breastfeeding Baby C exclusively for 3 days in a row, she does not want formula today. I had nursed her at around 8am today. At 9:15am, she was whining away, not really crying but the sort of whine that is asking for my teats. I was having breakfast and I asked my confinement…

Cassandra 28 Days Old

Posted on May 7, 2008May 8, 2008 by Shireen

Today Baby C is 28 days old. Tomorrow, daddy will be throwing a fullmoon party at home. The weather has been horrendously hot lately, so hot that my CL dressed Baby C in a singlet today…. and I could see that she looked so comfy wearing it. Baby C sweats easily and she even sweats in the air-cond…

Lotus Roots Hands

Posted on May 7, 2008 by Shireen

I did not really believe that exclusively breastfed babies will be chubby until I saw Elaine’s baby JL. Now that I am exclusively breastfeeding Baby C, I can see her grow chubbier by the days. I did not realize that she already has ‘lotus roots’ hands (which make me want to squeeze and bite them!)…

Choke Whilst Nursing

Posted on May 6, 2008May 7, 2008 by Shireen

Baby C tends to choke when I nurse her lately. My confinement lady (who was once a midwife) says that it’s because my milk supply has increased, thus the choking. I think it’s quite true coz this did not happen at the early stage when I started to breastfeed her. Lately, my milk supply has increased and she…

Safe Up There

Posted on May 3, 2008 by Shireen

That’s where we placed the bouncinet with Baby C sleeping on it – on the crib so that she will be out of bounds from her 2 rambunctious sisters, especially Sherilyn. When I tried putting the bouncinet with Baby C sleeping on it on the floor yesterday, Sherilyn the rascal couldn’t keep her hands off Baby C and…

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…

Finally, Alycia Gets To Carry Her Baby Sister

Posted on April 30, 2008 by Shireen

When Alycia and Sherilyn were sick last week, we forbade them from getting near Baby C…..but still they tried every way they could to get near their baby sister and even tried to kiss her. Their hands were practically all over their new baby sister each time they see me breastfeed her. The 2 gals…
