It is chip's day 3 of life. I find it very disturbing at times with the frequent vital signs monitoring and antibiotic administration. Just couldn't sleep well. Chips has his BCG today and was noted to have slight jaundice. he was put under photo while waiting for his bilirubin level. It felt so hurtful to see him under the photo naked because he was cold. Both of us were discharged the very same day. His jaundice is below photo level. Mom bought a cake for the 1st mat staff as a token of appreciation.
Boss and the staff from skin department came today. they gave me a bag to put baby items. Of course, brother Ang TS came and gave me more moral support.
The rain finally stopped on the day of discharge.
We went to manjaku mall to get a pillow for breast feeding. Sister Leong has made a very good recommendation. At least, my muscles no longer ache while feeding chipsmore.
To initiate breast feeding is not at all simple. I do not know how much milk chips is taking. As a result, he went into another episode of hypo. Sugar was just 1.7. Cafu and I were both so worried that he might end up having cerebral palsy. He wasn't crying for hunger. He just kept sleeping. The new daddy kept doing moro's reflex just to make sure that he is fine.
Mom told me to stay in cafu's house during confinement. She said cafu is not comfortable in my house. True as it is but we were both dead tired taking care of chipsmore. We just can't handle him without the help of a confinement lady.
