Day 3 - Going Home!

All packed up. Waiting for Papa to arrive and sort out bills for discharge. Today your jaundice is about 142. Below the mark so it's good. I have to stay away from ginger and Chinese herbs for at least 2 weeks. By Day 5 we hope that your levels won't go above 300. So far I really thank God that we managed to stabilise your glucose level immediately after birth.  And your jaundice level is not high. My haemoglobin level taken this morning is also above 10 so we are all good to go! You are the champion in the nursery at 3.4kg. And I only lost 3kg when I went to weigh just now!!! Hmm... The lady who delivered at the same time has the runner up baby at 3.1kg. The nursery has 4 babies now and they are all boys!

Anyway Dr Vijay says we are doing really well. So glad to know all well from the fast delivery till now. Praise the Lord!!

So usually when we arrive home it's when the true colours of babies come out.. let's see if you'd prove me wrong, Little One...

It's now 12.45am. Just fed you an hour ago and you are fussing and rooting already. I am aching all over. Soreness at the nipples and flu-like aches at my joints. Feels like I am coming down with something. So I better try and get as much sleep as I can.

Meanwhile we survived first day home with you. Only panicked when we changed and wiped you just now. You were screaming away! CheChe was so eager to help. She buttoned up for you and wore your mitten. She kept wanting to spend time with you. She was so surprised and happy that you are home when she arrived back from school today. You already are so loved.
