Had the Klinik Kesihatan nurses over yesterday and today. You seem alright except that you are a bit yellow. So we brought you to the Sungai Dua Klinik Kesihatan this morning to check your bilirubin levels. Day 5 is supposed to be the peak and we don't want your levels to go above 300. Yours came back at 128. Brilliant! You also merely winced when pricked at the left heel for some blood.
Other than that, you have been waking up crying every hour to two hours. The only time you slept longer was this morning. Even after being pricked at the heel and prodded by the doctor.
It's now more than 24 hours since your last poo and I'm starting to get worried that you are constipated. Your cries seems painful and there were times today where you actually unlatched yourself after a few suckle in my attempt to pacify you. I also felt a hard lump in the abdomen area. Need to clear that. Shall wait till tomorrow to take measures if still nothing tonight.
Gave you a nice long wipe and washed your hair today. Hoping you won't get cradle cap like your siblings and lose your hair. Your umbilical stump has officially fallen off. You also got a nice massage with extra virgin olive oil after the wipe. You seemed to enjoy the whole routine. Only fussed when the water was too cold. Maybe also cause there's lots of distractions around from your siblings! CheChe as usual wanted to help button you up. Kor Kor was all ready to put your dirty linen in the laundry bin. Papa stood by with the necessities. What a fun family affair!
By the way I had also witness a smile from you yesterday when I gave you a loud kiss! Reminds me so much of CheChe when she was a baby!
