rotation

My bb can rotate herself 90 degree. Less than 1 mth old.

 
 
 

still 44kg

din manage to lose anymore weight. Now is stagnant at 44 kg.
Hopefully can lose 1kg per mth, then by the time I go back work, should be more or less back to previous weight.

This year end, may go for chinese lit marking. Dun know yet. think they put my name for the marking. Dun mind doing the marking. But I think will have problem finding a place to do pumping and storage of breastmilk. Or maybe by then I already stop expressing.Now the supply is between 70 to 100 ml every 3.5-4 hours. when I go back work, will slowly stretch to maybe 5hours pump, then no need to pump so many times a day.

wind in stomach

my confinement lady teach me how to deal with the wind in bb tummy. She say if the bb cry and its not feeding time and no soiled diaper, then probably its wind in tummy. So feel her forehead, if its cold and tummy got hollow sound, then its stomach got wind. put ru yi oil and do massage on tummy for bb. Then she will fart and will be more comfortable.

My confinement lady is leaving this coming saturday noon. She is really good with bb and I have very good rest during confinement.

sneeze

I discover I can actually sneeze without feeling pain on wound. Now its just the area above the wound, when I press will feel pain. Maybe need another mth to recover.

hubby studying masters

Hubby took a masters course. every 3 months will have to study for about 2 weeks at NTU. So tomolo will start. these 2 weeks going to be very busy for him. 7 more days to end of my confinement. I will confine myself another 7 days after that. Until my hubby finish the 2 weeks of study. My mum will stay Yishun help me with the 3 monsters. After that then the 3rd monster will go over to Jurong and I look after the 2 monsters myself.

a flying mosquito move faster than me

These 2 weeks, almost everyday I was bitten by a mosquito. And I actually saw it flying around, but I was not fast enough, as I scare too big action will cause harm to my wound. So this is the only time I cannot even hit a flying mosquito. Sianz....Now even a mosquito come and bully me....:P

my girl dun wan to go yamaha

my big girl say she dun wan to go yamaha. the reason is incredible. Its becoz last saturday when my hubby bring her there alone( i was doing confinement , so din follow), its raining very heavily. So my hubby took another new route, trying to go through the flats and shelter. And he walked the wrong way. And the rain was so big, and the wind very big also. Even though my hubby carried her, she was still very scared of the wind sound. So she say she dun wan to go yamaha, she say 爸爸走错路.我不要走新的,要走旧的. She thought that becoz my hubby walk the wrong way, thats why got the wind blowing..hahaha

After telling her will take the old route to go yamaha, she agreed to go. Was thinking that if she really dun wan to go, we will not force her.The course she is taking now is not as interesting and fun as the previous one, partly also the reason why she not motivated to go.

red dots

the teacher at childcare centre say my big girl got red dots in her mouth and on her hands. Very scared it may be HFMD. I hope its not. I already not enough manpower to handle and manage the kids. Maybe she is just too heaty.

These few days, I find my c section wound not too good. seems a bit of swelling above the cut area. maybe I over exert myself. Hope next week all will be well.

15th day

today is the 15th day since I delivered my girl. Still feel pain at side of wound and area around the wound. Not the wound itself.

My san san yesterday evening fever recur again. Dun know why. But its quite mild fever. So medicine given again. Have to moniter and see how the next few days.

These few days very hot. Keep sweating. And my hair very messy and sticky. After confinement I want a hair cut. Maybe do a perm. like those very big curl perm at the end of hair. dun know how it will look like. Have to go to a good salon, if not later become auntie hair style.

aircon

today I on the aircon in my room for whole day. Coz yesterday my confinement lady told me there r rashes on bb body. And I think they r heat rash. early this morning, the rashes disappear. So I think maybe night time got aircon, so cooler. And today I will on the aircon for whole day. For the rest of the confinement period also. Actually I'm also very hot, and the fan also cannot blow my direction. So have been sweating for the past 14 days. Especially day time. Sweat even more. night time not too bad as got on aircon.

Sweating and not bathing for 14 days liao. Very jialat. I will need a bath this coming friday.

This morning also phone my mum to check on my san san's fever. And my mum say she got no fever already. But will give her another dose of paracetomol and moniter for the next 2 days. If everything ok, my big girl will go over to Jurong after her yamaha lesson on sat. And stay there until sunday nite, then come over to yishun together with san san an my mum.

San san din go to school for more than 2 weeks liao. When my mum ask her if she want to go to school, she say "no". She wan to stay at my mum house. Everything have to start all over again. Next monday when she go school, she sure cry. Just hope she wun fall sick again.

13th day

Today is the 13th day since I delivered. Still abit of pain at the sides of wound. Other than that, not much problem.

This morning i phone my mum to check on san san's status. She is ok. Hope fever will not come back again. Moniter for the next few days then decide whether she should be back.

I have been doing knitting for the past few days. My mum sweater have to put aside first as I am stuck, need to go back to knitting class and ask the teacher.
So I do bags for my girls. Yesterday just finished one. This morning was so tired that I nap a while. Later I am going to start a 2nd bag.

Planning to bathe this coming Friday. Feeling so hot and sticky. Last confinement, I bathe on the 11th day. This time I havent start bathing yet. This friday will be the 16th day.

recurring fever

My ah san had fever since 23th June. 2 days ago already no fever. Then yesterday afternoon fever came bk. Today also mild fever. Dun know why the fever recur. She done blood test that night when she was at thomson medical and after rport come out, she took the anti biotics which the doctor prescrible.

Anti biotics almost finish liao. But the fever recur. Almost 2 weeks already....what's wrong with her?

Making me very worried, I din see her for 2 weeks also. Miss her alot.
She supposed to be back Yishun together with my mum tonite. But now got to let her stay in Jurong for another week I supposed. Wait for her to be fully well. If not it will be more disastrous if virus spread around.

2kg down

I just weigh myself, and now at 44kg. 4 more kg to lose and I will be more or less back to original. Back to 38kg a bit not realistic. So if can go back to 40kg good enough.

whitening

I discovered my thighs, legs color is whitier than b4. Maybe lose too much blood, got whitening effect. dun know whether my face whitier or not, but hands and legs seems to be so.

10th day

my bb is 10 days old. Her umbilical cord drop off today. My confinement lady say after that wind tend to get in stomach. Dun know true or not. But I remember my 2nd girl, at 14 days, she din wan to sleep at night and keep waking up for feeds and after that dun wan to sleep. I remember my confinement lady that time got a hard time. And she was a difficult baby until more than 1 year old. My mum had a hard time looking after her. Maybe certain things were not done well during my last confinement. With this current confinement lady, I find things more under control. Maybe because she is more experience in taking care of babies.

My bb feeding time is quite ok. About every 4 hours if let her wake up naturally for feed. If wake her up then every 3 hours plus. But she drink very slow. sometimes 45 minutes also havent finish 70ml.

I think she sleep better being wrapped up, including hands also. For my previous girl, I remember we let her hands come out, maybe thats why she dun sleep well. So certain small details can actually lead to bigger problem if not taken care of.

I think my current confinement lady is really good. Very auto pilot. She even sweep and mop floor, clean toilet every morning. She help prepare milk for my big girl and dress her in school uniform to go school. She entertain my big girl and my big girl likes her.She prepare my breastpump for me and also take careof my bb night feeding. Her cooking taste is ok to me though my hubby feels that it a bit oily. She is humble and polite not those AP kind.

Lucky my cousin recommend her to me, if not I dun think I will be able to find one as good as her.

how much to lose

I have about 6 kg to lose b4 I get back to my normal weight. Think I should be back to original weight quite soon this time.

After confinement, I want to have a hair cut. My hair is like messy grass now and I need to change a new hair style, quite sick of my current one.

Feeling quite bored at home, took my knitting out to do. About 1 year din touched knitting stuff. I thought I have forgotten about my knit and purl. But surprisingly, once I took out my unfinished sweater, I still remember how to continue doing it. Now everyday I sit on my bed to do a little. hopefully by end of year I can finish this sweater for my mum.

I need to go for my knitting class again. Maybe start in August until end of year. Need some guidance from the knitting teacher.

supply not too bad

I'm beginnning to be satisfied with my BM supply. Why? because it is just nice, not too much until I cannot sleep well at night, and not too less until not enough to meet demand. Now on average I can pump out abt 70ml-80ml every 3 to 4 hrs.

Not a very persistent person in Breastfeeding, if have then let bb drink, not enough then top up with formula milk, if really dun have then drink all formula milk. perfectly ok with me. But I have a very good breastpump. Invest 500 over dollars in it. And it is really good. energy saving and very efficient.

weekend coming

Tomolo is saturday. My hubby will be very busy this weekend. Coz my ah san is still with runny nose and cough, so my big girl not going over to Jurong. I scare virus will spread.

Tomolo he will need to send my big girl to yamaha and my confinement lady and MIL to market. Then he needs to entertain my girl for whole of sat and sunday.

And monday the childcare centre is closed. So I will need to send my big girl to my in law house for the whole day. At least she gets to sleep there. I cannot sleep with her as I still got problem bending and still not very mobile yet.

gynae checkup

today went to see gynae to remove stitches. Now feeling a little better, but still pain at the corner of wound. Next week I think I can start to bathe liao. Becoz of the wound, I din touch water for 1 whole week.

My hubby went to ica to make the bb birth cert today. We have decided her name to be 叶怡君 , dialect name will be Yip Yee June. since she is born in June and we do not like the dialect version of "Jun", we let it remain as hanyupinyin "jun" but add an "e" behind and it become "June".

my confinement lady is quite good. Very auto pilot kind. Everything very well done. She even help me with my big girl as my mum is stuck in Jurong to take care of my small girl.

MY small girl 's fever is finally under control. More than 1 week already. I think the earliest we start to send her back to childcare will be next tuesday. The teachers are all so scared of her.
