One Week Old

YAY! Yee Sinn was back home yesterday. Her Jaundice level dropped further from 8.6 to 5.2 so Dr Heng said she could go home.

She was very well behaved for the last 2 days. Let’s hope she sticks to her routine. Strangely enough, she got a bit cranky during the night. Hubby and I are not too sure what was causing it. We’re wondering if it could be the “white noises” that’s making her uncomfortable ie, it’s too quiet at night. Let’s hope she’ll get use to the “night life” which, is meant for sleeping.

We’ll be going to see Dr Heng tomorrow morning to review her Jaundice. Let’s hope there’s no rebound. Dr Heng mentioned that Yee Sinn has to be well hydrated and she’ll need to pee at least 7-8 times a day. So in order to monitor her pee, we have decided to use cloth nappies instead. This is because nowadays we get those “super diapers” that are so extra dry, it’s becomes difficult to find out if the baby has pee-ed. Poor Grandma Lee has to do extra laundry these few days. Also, to be well hydrated, baby Yee Sinn has to drink more milk then usual. I just hope my milk production will increase soon to meet her demand… else we’ll have to supplement with formula milk, which I am quite reluctant to do so.

The entire Lee household has been kept on our toes since the arrival of Yee Sinn one week ago. Lets just hope we’ll be able to settle down soon. And of course, more SANE time to take pictures of baby in her growing up phase.
