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.

low bm supply

Wanted to breastfeed longer for my 3rd child. But seems like not very realistic. Bm supply very low, though I have a very good breast pump, dun seem to get much out of it.This is the 1st week. Supply only about 50ml per pumping session. And I din latch on bb at all. So that was all I got after every 3-4 hours. And nite time, din really have engorgement, so even if sleep thro' the nite, also ok. But no engorgement means bad news too. Supply really very low.

Wondering if c section is the cause of low supply? I remember for my 1st girl, I have quite alot of excess supply. But for 2nd girl also c section, I din have enough supply. This 3rd one, supply seems to be the lowest. I guess I can close my milk factory quite early for this one. See next week supply got increase or not.

My ah san's fever still up and down. More than 1 week already, dun know whats wrong. I am very worried, but nothing can be done.

san san fever

my small girl had a v high fever last nite. my mum phone me at about 11pm. My hubby just brought back my big girl. Then I ask hubby how....then ask my parents and brother to take san san to thomson medical centre 24 hrs clinic. My hubby meet them directly there. At about 2am, finally fever under control and they went back home.

My big girl was sleeping temporary on my bed, until my hubby came back then carried her back to her sleeping room. These 2 weeks very busy, san san fever already seen doctor 3 times.

My big girl now more understanding. She knows I cannot sleep with her, and is ok with my hubby sleeping with her. She knows my wound hurts, so she din ask me to carry or do things for her. I think 4 years old is the age when kids can understand things. San san still behave like a spoilt brat, cannot negotiate terms, she want something means she wants, cannot dun give her, and she accept no reasoning also.

back at home

Discharged from hospital today. Now battling with my c section wound. Hate the kind of feeling, cannot even walk properly. Dun dare to cough also. I will stop at 3 kids. Cannot stand another round of torture like this. When will my wound heal? fast fast heal please........

My small girl is down with a fever. Since last weds. I have to left her with my mum in Jurong. My hubby will fetch my big girl back. Big girl can go childcare tomolo. My hubby have to sleep with her for this month liao. I cannot look after her.

tomolo is the day

So fast. I'm left with one day b4 delivery. Tonie will bring all the necessary things to Jurong. My 2 monsters going to stay with my mum until Sunday nite. I will most probably be discharged on Sunday morning.

Not the 1st time giving birth, but still feeling excited about tomolo. Need to fast for the operation, so tonite after my dinner, cannot eat anything liao.think I will be very hungry tomolo.

san san runny nose

my san san is having a runny nose again. Cough also. Seems like back to the days when my big girl just go childcare. Every 2 weeks will fall sick.

Last week when she went childcare, she was already not crying, But today cry again.

3 more days to my delivery of 3rd monster. Almost got ready all things. NOw only need to wait and to notify confinement lady when I will be discharged from hospital.

last gynae visit b4 delivery

This morning I went for my gynae check up. Now bb about 2.6-2.7kg. Next week will be week 38. So I will be going for my c section on Thursday.

Took 3 days MC for next week monday to wednesday. My maternity leave will start from 24/6/2010...


Met Sandra for lunch at Bugis Junction. I hope things will be well for her and she will be happy.....

counting down

Today is Wednesday already. Next Thursday, my 3rd monster will be coming out. About 1 week left.

My big girl had a fever over the weekend. And I stayed in Jurong with both monsters from Fri night to Tuesday night. This morning they went to childcare again. My small girl still cried and refused to go school.

Hopefully she had her nap in school. The teachers got problem making her sleep and they are quite scared of her as her voice is very loud. She dun wan to sleep and will scream if they forced her to do so. She is so vocal and like to say back the teachers. She even ask the teachers to go home.haha........They had no way to deal with her

san san go school

this morning my small girl go child care again after resting for 2 days. She din wan to go. She say her uniform belongs to my big girl and not hers. Then downstairs, she say the teachers went home already. My small girl can really talk well. The teachers were amazed at the way she talks and asked me what I ate for my 2nd pregnancy.

Hopefully tomolo she will not cry when go school.
