Granny gave you some rice cereal this morning & you seemed to like it. Then granny called up in the afternoon laughing & told me you really like rice cereal.
We started you on solid now because recently, you didn't quite like drinking milk from the bottle already. When mommy's home, you always want my breast and reject the bottle totally. So, mommy's glad that you like rice cereal. You know, you're 7.5kg now, so you can start to eat solid food now.
Last couple of weeks, you had hand foot mouth disease. ZY got it first, but doctor didn't recognise it because she didn't have spots on her hand and no ulcer in her mouth too. She only had sore throat and mild fever. Then Mommy got it first from jie jie before you. We stayed home for a week. Luckily, Aloclair spray worked for you and so you could drink milk without any fuss. Aloclair is a spray to cover your ulcers. You had about 6 ulcers in your mouth and red spots all over your tiny body, legs, hands, palm & feet. You poor little thing. But overall, you look quite well actually. Initially, we thought you didn't get it and we planned to put you with daddy at condo. So, when daddy noticed your spots on your hands & feet, he called me instantly and said you could stay home since you've got it too. I was so happy that I don't have to stay away from you again. Mommy don't like to be away from you. I'd miss you so much that I'd cry so hard.
I think I didn't mentioned in my previous updates that mommy had to take a week off, half day morning, to take you to hospital for nebulizer. You had lots of phlegm. Mommy's so heartsick.
On & off, you sleep downstairs to avoid getting ZY's germs.
After we recovered from HFMD, Sue Yin and Sue Lynn got it. It was because they hugged you 2 days before you red spots came out. You were taken care by yeh yeh and nai nai while ZY jie jie stayed home because granny wasn't feeling well. Sue lynn suffered badly while Sue Yin was quite alright. Aloclair didn't work well on Sue Lynn. So it was quite a horrible period for her and da gu.
So after SY & SL recovered, just last weekend, ZY jie jie started to go over to condo while you stayed home with granny. Mommy trained Soyi to carry and feed you so that she can help granny sometimes when granny's not feeling so well.
You actually manage to turn over around 4 months old. You like to watch TV alot, even yeh yeh & nai nai said so!! You like to look at pictures. You drool alot too. I think you'll have your first tooth very soon.
Mommy brought you to Siong jiu jiu's wedding dinner the other day -3rd Dec.It was your first time attending function, you didn't like the loud music I think and so, you cried easily when you see strangers. It's unusual.

3 months & 3 weeks old
Since Monday, mommy send you to yeh yeh & nai nai's place with the maid because granny is sick. She has been sick since 16th Oct (almost 3 weeks) since she came back from a weekend getaway with her friends. She's been having slight fever, migraine, back ache and sore throat, but not exactly at that area. It's hard to explain. However, after a thorough check by Sunway Medical Center's doctor, she found out that granny has inflammation on her thyroid gland & her sugar level is slightly higher than the normal range. Doctor already prescribed her 10 days medication and hopefully she'll recover by then. Right now, doctor's advice is for her to relax and avoid anything that can stress her up.
The maid is not very good at her work yet so granny has to cook for jie jie and Mag when they come home from kindergarten around 5:30pm everyday. When granny took care of you, each time she cooks, you never fail to make noise and wanted to be carried. Why? I think you might be tired but having difficulty to fall asleep. As you're growing bigger and bigger now, so does your weight, it's quite difficult for granny not to have backache. At times, you don't settle easily and needs to be carried frequently. It happens especially if mommy had spicy food the day before. Oops....
You're at least 7kg now. Most of the time, yeh yeh is taking care of you because Sue Lynn jie jie is quite glued to nai nai. She's just 1.5 yrs old. But nai nai is the one who bath you, not yeh yeh. On the 1st day, you had couple of short naps. On the second day, you slept almost the whole day and had to be waken up for your feeding. Hahaha!! Your milk consumption has reduced. I'm not sure why. 9am to 9am you only consume about 15oz of milk. It used to be 5oz every 3-4 hours.
Last few nights, when you came home from yeh yeh's place, you laughed easily when we talk to you. Mommy managed to take videos of you laughing.

1st day back from work after 2 months confinement period
You were in granny's room with granny. When you saw me, you had so much to tell me. All the baby bla bla and full of expression. Granny said you didn't even talk to her like that during the day, as if you really know and miss mommy. You were in granny's room because jie jie is not feeling well. Mommy would leave you listening to classical music from the iPhone if I leave you alone in the room to attend to jie jie or to take things for you. Mommy likes to touch your soft hair which seems growing towards your face. Every moment with you is wonderful & makes me smile.

Mommy's life after you're born
After the confinement lady went off, mommy was fit enough to take care of you, unlike the time mommy had jie jie. Mommy was able to bath you. Hehe! I've to admit that I feel proud to be able to do that as I wasn't fit enough to bath jie jie last time. I've to be extra careful when I carry you up from the bath tub as your body is so slippery.
Mommy love you so much. Although I'm so exhausted but everytime I think of you, you just melt my heart.
Every midnight, mommy look like a drunken woman, whose eyes are half open, carrying you and smiling away.When I carry you, your head is just right below my chin, I get to smell your hair & I love your smell. It's addictive.
You could almost sleep through the night when you're 2 months old, i.e. when the confinement lady left. I'm so proud of you.
Jie jie was down with flu, fever, conjuctivitis, HFMD during the first 2 months you're born. She just got her flu back. She loves you and likes to carry you. She always reads to you. Mommy put her into bed first every night while granny/ daddy take care of you. After jie jie is asleep, mommy will look after you and sleep downstairs till morning. Sometimes, we'll sleep upstairs when jie jie is not sick.
Here are few things mommy didn't have time to write about earlier:
Just before you're born, mommy had cramps due to dehydration, according to the nurse.
We went for holiday when mommy's 38 weeks pregnant.
After you were born the 2nd day, doc said you have jaundice. We switched hospital from Pantai Bangsar to Columbia Asia Puchong. Mommy stayed for a night in hospital with you & the confinement lady while taking care of you under the phototherapy machine. Your jaundice level was still very high. Hence, nurse advised to leave you at their nursery under phototherapy machine 24/7.
Mommy brought breast milk to you as often as possible. You're fed with both breast milk & milk powder given by the hospital as mommy hadn't produce enough milk yet. Mommy was very upset to part with you. Luckily, mommy get to hold you to feed you whenever we send milk to the nursery. You smell so nice & you're so fragile. Few days later, your jaundice level dropped & you're allowed to come home. At the same time, jie jie got conjunctivitis. Hence, you had to go to condo with the confinement lady to avoid getting the virus. Mommy was again devastated to part with you. You're only back home on the 15th day. Jie jie was still having flu and only recovered on the 4th August. Daddy was sick since the 2nd week and only recovered on the 4th August. Thank God we have a confinement lady to help. She is a good cook & a good helper.
