Hey My Dear Girl.. You are 6 weeks old!

Hie Baby Girl...

You are 6 weeks old coming to 7 weeks old actually! Mommy has been soooooooo busy with you that i really do not have time to blog about at all! I noticed i missed your One Month Old blog entry as well... Well i guess this entry is going to be long!

Yes, instead of calling you baby girl all the time, u do have a name... I suppose by the time you read this, u r old enough to obviously know your name.. We decided to name you Jessica Saw Rei Ern... Jessica is picked by both mommy n daddy.. And your chinese name pick by your grandma! (Daddy's mum)...

You have been a handful baby... Ever since you were born, mommy has non stop worries about you!

First - You had a little jaundice while u were in hospital, the day u were going to check out.. But it was not that serious so u dont have to be in the incubator.. I know why u were having jaundice; it is because mommy didnt have much milk coming out yet so u had nothing to flush out from your system... You need to drink alot of breastmilk so u can make your digestive system start working n flush out all the dirty things via pooping n peeing... So when mommy didnt have enough milk, it caused u jaundice...

Second - When you are about 10 days old, u developed conjunctivitis (Pink Eye / Red Eye)... How u got that? Mommy stays in a confinement centre where all baby was infected before.. Therefore, u got infected as well.. But mommy got lucky that i didnt get it... Everybody in the confinement centre got it.. All babies and babies' mom... So i was already preparing n expecting myself to get infected as well.. But somehow, i didnt... It took you 2 weeks to cure! The first week u got it, u had yellowish thick discharge from your eyes (it couldnt be your tears as newborns dont develop tears yet) then only coming in to the 2nd week that your eye got red... In that process, mommy was in pain for u as well.. You could barely open your eyes.. Even when u do, your eyes looks very swollen... So sad to see you like this... U went to see doctor twice for your red eye... First time was as soon as i discovered u got yellow discharge and the second time, mommy brought u to eye specialist in GMC when your eye turned red (U had red streaks in your eye balls) as i was afraid something might go wrong with your eye like maybe turn blind or wat... So must really check you properly...

 See, swollen eyes... Taken on the first week u got it...

This one was taken on second week... You had the "Dont Mess with Me" look all the time when u had swollen eyes... Or else your normal look would be this cute on when u were 1 week old..

 Taken on 5th May 2012 - See, you were very cute before the red eye infection...

Taken on 8th May 2012 - You were turning your head towards my voice while i was talking to you! U were a curious newborn baby!

Taken on 4th May 2012 when u first learn how to take the pacifier... u got impatient n angry bcos u thought it was nipple n when u suckle it n there were no milk coming out, u got angry n refuse the pacifier... :D


Taken on 13th May 2012 when mommy put u on your tummy for tummy time to let u exercise your neck so it could be stronger... :) U looked like u were trying to crawl.. :P

You came home officially to stay on the 27th May 2012... Mommy left the confinement place early as they were already closing down... Since then until today, mommy has been taking care of non stop n i am very busy taking care of u... U wake up to feed every 2 hours most of the time.. But if im lucky, u sleep for 3 hours... And if im very lucky, u sleep for 4 hours.. but that only happened roughly 5 times ever since u came home to sleep up till today... So yeah, mommy is lacking sleep.. n that is why i had no time to blog.. Even if i have the extra free time, i rather sleep cause mommy is sooooo tired...

Then after that mommy had to worry n wonder if u have colic n etc... cause u kept kicking up a fuss n your tummy looks real bloated n hard... Then when u werent pooping for 4 days, i got worried... Having a baby is like being worried constantly...
