Everything Changes
Seems like a long while since i last blogged. Been busy with adjuzting my lifestyle. Trying to cope with the stress of hearing Cedric's cries. Trying to find a job to substain myself and my family. But these are not the main things i wanna talk about here.
Cedric juz "celebrated" his one month birthday. Why did i use open/close inverted commas cuz we din really celebrate it due to budget constrain. It's really amazing to see him grow up... though the changes are not that obvious but you can see it. Even the way he cries is different. There are the fake cries, which is simply used to catch ur attention. He really looks different from when he was born... the only exception is the facial expression when he cries....
I shan't write anymore liao... need to feed Cedric his milk... check out his latest pics in the
gallery.

Docs aplenty
Straight forward topic or too hard to understand? I'm talking about my appointments with the doctors. Not only for me but also for Cedric. Let's start with the month of April.
6th - Cedric's appointment with Jurong Polyclinic (Jaundice level = 121)
11th - My appointment/review with NUH
19th - Cedric's appointment with Jurong Polyclinic
24th - Cedric's appointment/review with NUH (2nd dose Hep B)
Old wives tales and tradition keeps the women at home after birth but with so many doctors' appointment, how can one stay confined at home for the whole month? It's really hard to believe that Zoe Tay really can take it without bathing for the whole month. For me, i definately can't do that and I had to ask my mom to get me the herbal bath for me to bath, whinch I had a hard time persuading her to let me bath at least 3 times a week. Cant take it when my hair gets oily and the scalp starts to itch alot. I have to wash my hair at least every alternate days. As for the body, I have special body wash to do the trick. If not I'll smell worst than a skunk.
Not many people are visiting me now..it's only the first week that i receive visitors almost everyday. So if you're itching to see Cedric real life, please feel free to come and visit me.
P/S: Gifts of ang bao and gift vouchers are very much welcome than compare to tonic, food and clothes.
Biyi: Have u decided if u coming back this month?

Driving me nuts!
okies... i know it's only the second wk after labour but Cedric is really getting on my nerves already. Now besides his usual "feed me" and "change me" cries, there's also the "I'm trying to clear my bowels", "i wan to suckle anything", "the room is too warm" and "i juz wan attention" cries.
It's really been hard on my mom. On one hand, she's trying to take care of my diet, cooking for me and help me prepare the hebal bath and all sorts, then on the other, she has to help take care of Cedric...Hmmm, most of the time she is taking care of Cedric. When I feel tired, i'll close my door and head straight for the bed. She hvn't been resting well. If not for her, I guess I might have gone bonkers already.
Here's some pics that i wanna do a short intro...I somehow feel that Cedric is gonna be a very smart boy. I was told that baby's will only suckle after a few hours after birth, but as for Cedric, he managed to do so within the first hour or so...here are more prove that he is smart....

P/S: New Pics in the gallery.

After 1 week~
It's actually more than a week already and I know alot of you are curious about how I'm coping...
It's really stressful trying to handle Cedric...For the first few days at home, he was very co-operative. Cry only when he
NEEDS attention, e.g: need to be fed, change diaper...now, he's crying when he
WANTS attention, e.g: wants to be carried even after he's fed, wants to suckle before he sleeps.
After a week of observation, I came with a conclusion that Cedric doesn't like to be changed. Regardless of whether it's his diaper or his clothes. Why did i say that? He'll scream his lungs out whenever someone/anyone change his clothes or diapers. And he oso like to do his "business" halfway...preferably after we cleaned him and right after we put on the new diaper.
Right now, besides trying to catch some sleep, most of my time is spent trying to remember when was the last time i fed Cedric and expressing breast milk. Colin is still trying to cope with being a new father and sometimes i can see that he is feeling low. He thinks that he's not doing enough, which i dun agree with him. He denies that he has any feelings for his son but at the first sign of distress from Cedric, he's always the 1st one to know. You can catch him walking pass my mom's room, peeking into the room to check whether his son is awake or not. Hahaha~ so much for not having any feelings huh!!
Thats gonna be all for nw, getting tired and slightly irritated by my wound. Till I have the time, Ciao for now!
P/S: Do check out Cedric's new pics in the Gallery.
