Its been too long and before I lost track of the thousands photos I have of Baby Ada, I better post the next few months! She is growing too fast for me to 'slowly savor' her baby moments.
WEEK 5
Day 32 (27 Aug 2013)
"I love sun tanning since young, look at my skin tone!"
"Who can win me besides daddy?"
Day 33 (28 Aug 2013)
As tiny as a cocoon.
Day 34 (29 Aug 2013)
Mummy says she doesn't like funny hair accessories, but still wants to try on me.
"Do I look pretty?"
Day 35 (30 Aug 2013)
Good Night!
WEEK 6
Day 36 (31 Aug 2013)
Our precious :)
Day 37 (1 Sept 2013)
As confinement nanny was the one who bathed Ada during her 1st month, I didn't realized there was a pimple like with pus till lately and it burst today! I thought it was abrasion with diaper but after visiting the doctor during her follow up for jaundice, it was nothing but her BCG (vaccination that was given on the first day when she was born)!
Scary.
Plus I didn't know BCG was injected and neither do I know that it was on her buttock! I was so tired after labour, Liang was the one who told the nurses to proceed with all the necessary injections!
Day 38 (2 Sept 2013)
Met up with Alan for dinner at Takashimaya and went shopping for moon cakes as Mid-Autumn festival is coming in a few weeks!
Day 39 (3 Sept 2013)
Mummy was too tired and Daddy took care of me this morning!
"No eyes see…"
Just kidding! I accompanied Daddy the whole morning watching marvel's movie. In case you thought he brought me out since I am in a stroller, you got it all wrong. Daddy left me on my stroller to keep me inclined so that I won't vomit due to reflux. Conveniently, I just fell asleep in my stroller, at home!
Day 40 (4 Sept 2013)
Ada kept crying even we gave her Avent's pacifier for the past few days. She will not even suck the pacifier for more than 5 seconds and the only thing that can make her quiet is either to let her latch on, or the milk bottle's teat!
I suspected it was milk spurt and I've done tons of research online and indeed, milk spurt is around 5-7 weeks old. She can latch on for 30 minutes to 1 hour but once I put her down to bed, she will cry!
Too fussy and I gave in to buying her a new pacifier as she cannot stop fussing for milk but can't drink too much as she will vomit (not spitting) due to reflux.
Whew, new pacifier seems to work well.
Day 41 (5 Sept 2013)
Out to visit PD again and really hoped that her jaundice will go off soon. Heart aches whenever she needs to draw blood for the test and seeing PD once every 3 days is no joke, too expensive!
Day 42 (6 Sept 2013)
My sailor girl.
OOTD!

Thank you Wenlong for the sweet little dress.

WEEK 7
Day 43 (7 Sept 2013)
Bring the highlight to Jonas today! It was Brother and Sister-in-law's birthday celebration. But he was totally happy over it and rushed to sit on the chair as if it was his birthday. Ha-ha.
Day 44 (8 Sept 2013)
Only a collage like that can show how expressive Ada was. LOL!
 |
| Daddy took all my photos that Mummy sent, and made me look so un-glam. |
For the very 1st time since I was born, Yeye tried to feed me milk!
Day 45 (9 Sept 2013)
Pose for the day!
Day 46 (10 Sept 2013)
How is this? Better than the previous headband?
"Everyone says I'm cute, but mentioned nothing about the headband. hmmm."
Day 47 (11 Sept 2013)
Ada refused to sleep on her own and every time I lay her down on bed when she was soundly asleep, she will wake up the next moment!
Oh man… I can still remember the tiredness back then~ I'm glad it's all over.
Day 48 (12 Sept 2013)
"Do not try to bully me! I am fierce!!!"
Actually, Ada was just trying to pass motion. Poo-ing.
Day 49 (13 Sept 2013)
Tiden Kor Kor is confused, why does Ada keep crying when grandma was only trying to cut her nails? Tiden: "AH-ma, did you cut Ada accidentally?"
*FROWN*
Costed us a bomb when we visited the PD to take her 1st dosage of 6in1 vaccination. Cost about $500 for 3 vaccinations. 1 oral and 2 injections! Fever came shortly in the evening and reaches 38.5 degree.
1st fever since birth and it's worrisome as PD said Ada's too young to be given panadol. All we could do is to keep her cool and monitor her temperature. Mum helped to sponge Ada and she just kept crying during the whole sponging session. Can't be helped but sponges does bring the temperature down for a while. Had my 1st sleepless night waking up hourly to take her temperature. Stayed at mum's place today while Liang worked through the night till really late.

| "Tiden kor kor, I'm ok. Don't worry!" |
WEEK 8
Day 50 (14 Sept 2013)
Luckily fever went away the next day noon. Fever due to vaccination shouldn't last more than 1 day. Feeling so much better!
Day 51 (15 Sept 2013)
1st visit to the departure hall to fetch Jonas Kor Kor home from their HK trip.
Day 52 (16 Sept 2013)
"Am I cute?"

| Thank you Simore jie jie for the ultra comfortable towel! |
Day 53 (17 Sept 2013)
Out for a walk!
Day 54 (18 Sept 2013)
Not feeling well, so tired and I'm on antibiotic. We're hoping that the medicine will ease of the swollen lymph node on Ada's groin. Went to the PD immediately after I spotted the swollen lump and was advised to head to A&E immediately. F***
The journey to KK Hospital sucks a big time and i'm glad the queue wasn't too long before we get to see a nurse for registration followed by waiting in the Doctor's zone to wait for a doctor to diagnose her situation. We wasn't allowed to feed Ada's till doctor's clearance and it was too long a wait and she was wailing in the queue. Feeling totally helpless.
Sigh!
TOO WORRIED as if it doesn't subsides by tomorrow, she might need to be hospitalized :(
Day 55 (19 Sept 2013)
I had such a hard time admiting her and holding onto her hand while she screams with fear and pain. Sobs. I'm glad the doctor did it with care and talked to her to distract her attention and allowed her to move about before she was ready instead of grabbing her hand.
We need to observe 1 day and see if the antibiotic works this way and if it doesn't, Ada will need to undergo a minor operation to remove the pus in the swollen node.
Day 56 (20 Sept 2013)
Took us a long time to get a schedule for Ada to get her pus removed. She was required to fast for 4 hours before operations and we knew she will be wailing so hard as she needed her feed on-time. Appointment for the operations was supposed to be at 2pm but got delayed till late evening.
I've got no choice but to ask the nurse to check on the availability of the Ops room over and over again to confirm that we will proceed to feed her, but yet, still be on time for the evening slot. Ada has already cried for the longest time by then and fast for nothing!
Can't be angry as the Operations theatre is undergoing an emergency brain operations and I understand how the other party parents are feeling. We finally got called to the Ops theatre in the evening and Ada has cried herself to sleep.

Too worried, and all our energy was maximized while hoping the Ops can be done soon and be over with ASAP. Doctors called for 1 parent to be in after the Ops. Liang went in and fed Ada medicine while I prepared her milk and brought it down to feed her the first minute she was awake from the Ops.
WEEK 9
Day 57 (21 Sept 2013)
Supposed to be discharged today but we extended 1 night in order to let the antibiotic run directly to her body instead of feeding at home. We wanted to get out of the hospital ASAP but since this was more effective for Ada to absorb the medicine, I had a hard time getting the daddy to agree for another's day stay. Besides, the nurse were friendly and took care of Ada when it's time to give her antibiotic.
Mum came to take over for 1 night while we went back to rest.
Thank you Mummy, now I understand the pain you go through when we were young.
Speedy recovery was all we wanted. Get well soon baby Ada!
Day 58 (22 Sept 2013)
Home sweet home. Daddy's taking care of Ada while I rest. Thank you love.
Day 59 (23 Sept 2013)
It pained us so when we bring Ada back to clean her wound. She SCREAM on top of her voice when the nurse was dressing her wound for the 1st time and we know how pain it was when we saw how it was done! PAIN, even feeding her panadol before dressing she was screaming. Ouch!
Putting her to rest comfortably as she deserves a good snuggle for being such a strong darling.
Day 60 (24 Sept 2013)
"I'm tired!"
Since she can only sleep well while laying down on our chest, we tried to put her to bed on her tummy. Didn't let her sleep in this position for long as she still doesn't know how to flip. Once she is deep asleep, I will flip her back to sleep proper.
Day 61 (25 Sept 2013)
OOTD
Resumed back her normal routine but still feeding her antibiotic for a week and panadol before her wound dressing. Wound dressing after the 1st time is so much better, still painful but since her wound is healing, cleansing is less in-depth.
Day 62 (26 Sept 2013)
OOTD
Really glad that all the pain was over, but doctor's advice for lymph node was very vague. All we knew was due to virus but we do not know where, when and how. When asked if it will return, doctor said it is common for infant and toddlers but I have no wish to see it again. Stay away from Ada, please!
