2 months old
To my beloved daughter,
Yeah, today you are finally 2 months old. These 2 months must have been tough for you to adjust to the new environment however you have done pretty well.
At 2 months....
* you can lift up your head to about 45 degree celsius since the 3rd week of birth. What a strong neck you have!
* you can sleep better now at night with a stretch of 5-6 hours without waking. However, it is not consistent. Still being trained and getting yourself used to it.
* you are still being breastfed however occasionally when Mummy's supply is low, formula milk comes in. But this must not continue too often.
* Finally, you have started to chuckle and smile and is more responsive to us when Daddy and Mummy talk to you. We were so concerned during the first month as you did not smile and neither do you look at us or even response to our teasing and talking.
* You start to converse with us with your ahs, errs, coo, uhs, gaas and we love those cute little conversation you tried to make sense with us. They are music to our ears.
* You do not poo daily now. Only poo every two days. However, those poos you make are explosive ones and you hardly fuss or cry when your diaper is badly soiled. What great tolerance you have, but not in this way please!
* You sleep lesser now during the day and often wish to play, talk and be carried around. The radar in you will start to response with cries once it senses that Mummy is going to put you back to cot. Sigh.
* you are a great observer, you love to look around and will be attracted to lights and will stare with great amazement for a long long time.
* sometimes pacifier doesn't satisfy you and your fingers will be the next best choice for you to suckle. What delicious "drumsticks" you have! Oh well, I have to add on too that you do make loud slurping sound with those "drumsticks".
* you have pretty strong limbs and arms. You will kick and push away anything that comes your way like blankets, pillows etc. Grandma always says you are super active just like Mummy when she was a baby. At times, I will find you sleeping at another angle or end up upside down the next morning cause you kick and move so much that you are out from the original position you were before you sleep. Sigh...I guess even the cot bumper will lose its purpose soon.
Poor thing, today you got two injections by your PD and you really screamed in pain. But you were easily calmed by pacifier and fell asleep immediately. I was sad too to hear that the rash on your face was actually fungus infection called ringworm! Yucks! Isn't that suppose to be on one's foot? Mummy hopes you will recover soon!
Anyway, Happy two months old my dear! Mummy and Daddy loves you lots cause you are such an adorable girl from heaven above!

Evan's Progress
I thank God for the perserverance He has given me, the promises He has for me, the prayers being answered and the improvement in Evangeline's behaviour. And not forgetting my hubby who has been a super great helper. Without him helping, I would not be able to handle the intital struggles, stress faced commonly by first time mums and also the housechores and taking care of Evan.
Week 1-3
Overall, Evangeline was an easy baby and she still is. She only cries for milk and spent most of her time sleeping. She was still not responsive to us or even the mobile toys we placed before her as her focus and eyesight is not fully developed yet. It will take a while before she could see clearly the things before her. The only problem she faced was latching onto my nipple, having jaundice and blocked nose. The adorable part of her was and still is her smile when she is asleep. Yup, she only smiles and chuckles at times in her sleep. Guess the Heavenly Angels were with her then. She learned to sleep on her side which helped her to breathe better so that the mucus would not backflow. The most amazing thing about her is her ability to withstand the poo that totally soiled the diaper without crying. Therefore, I have to constantly check her diaper to see if change was needed. At week 2, she can kick vigourously, able to remove her mittens and booties by herself, refused to be swaddled and able to drink from bottle and cup withour any difficulties. I can say she is quite a fast developer in her psycho-motor skills as well.
Week 4
This week is the last week she will be at her "Mama's" house. My mum was trying to hold back her emotions as Evan has to go back to her own home and MaMa can only see her on Sundays. On the 19th Dec which was her full month, MaMa bathed her and trimmed her hair. Initially she wanted to shave her hair and eyebrows. Yup you did not hear wrongly, eyebrows!. Of course, we were protesting against the idea. I am not going to tatoo her eyebrow if they doesn't grow back. No risk to be taken. She was still feeding well however my milk supply suddenly decreased at Week 4. Not sure why it was so. My breasts were still engorged at night, thus more than enough for her but day feed was worse. Not much milk and barely able to replenish on time for her 3 hourly feeds. I felt super bad as certain feeds, I have to supplement with formula milk or the frozen breast milk which I pumped during the first 3 weeks. Sigh. Thus my pumping stopped totally as nothing much to pump after she fed. Pathetic I must say. She still slept 3 hourly after every feed and continued to smile in her sleep. The only thing that needed our patience was her cries for milk. She has no patience to wait and will scream non-stop till she gets what she wants. Milk! I must say her lungs must be super strong and well developed as her screams can collapse the whole roof down. That's my girl!
That's all I can recall. I really dun have time to keep up with blogging. I wished I could have the time and energy to jot down every little details in Evan's growth but being a full time stay at home mum and housewife, able to sit down for 5 mins to do my own thing is a luxury so is blogging. Will keep up when things are more stabilised for me. :)
