Week 8 now

How fast time flies! Kolby is 8 week old now, which mean I left only another 8 weeks with him. Glad that confinement period was over, we got a confinement lady for this round and it was a good decision made. I got enough rest during this period, not so stress up with supply that I can build up my supply, not worry that my mom cannot cope with the kids. Everyone has an easy time.
4 weeks alone with baby after the confinement lady left, my mom will come over in the afternoon that 2 kids are back from school. I am glad that she is around, I am having a hard time especially during evening time when Kolby is active. It is a war fighting every minute and weekend is the worst as hubby is not helping out. Else life is beautiful.
Kolby at 8 week old weighs 4.8kg, recognise me and like me to be by his side. When he is awake, he will want us to talk to him, or just stay beside him. when he wants to sleep, he need to be latch. He can sleep longer hours at night about 5-6hrs before he stir and awake for his milk. Lucky he can latch well now, we just have to co sleep and latch him if he want milk while I continue to sleep. Continue please Kolby! Mommy will love you more for this.

Also, Charis and Gregory are behaving more like big jiejie and big korkor now. They will try to help when Kolby cries and I am busy with housework. Or they will help out with simple house work like sweeping or mopping the floor. Already they are very independent, they have keep their own toys and books, do their homework, shower on their own, sleep on the own. I am very thankful for all these.

Arrival of baby Nicholas

19 April 2021, we welcomed our new member :) he has came to us as a surprised gift. I got to know I was pregnant last Sep, at first it came to me as a shock rather than surprise. Firstly I did not thought that getting conceive is easy, for all previous pregnancy, I have tried ways and means to get pregnant, and now I did not even try and I strike jackpot! Of course, baby equal joy!!! We broken the news to our kids and Charis even cried when she heard it. My pregnancy journey is not a smooth one, at 40 year old, I feel my body is not prepared and weak for this pregnancy. I have bleeding for the whole T2 and pelvic pain for T3. Basically i need more and more bedrest and because I get to work from home due to covid 19, I did not have to travel to work or request any medical leave. 16 April 2021, I am at week 37 plus 4days, during the gynae check, I was already 2cm dilated, I am excited. My inital plan is to induce on 19 April as I am worried that the fliud level will drop after week 38...
Charis is better now No more fever after 1 week No more runny nose No more coughing I was so worried when she was still having fever (37.4 ~ 37.8 degrees) on monday... Pd say it may be due to the flu that is why she is still having fever on & off felt so painful when they use a machine to suck out her mucus Charis was struggling bad! I believe she HATES doctor now She has phlegm in her lung I was so scared that it will turn be to bronchiolitis Hengz... I made a call to Ah kor, she gave me a method 1) Feed her with barley 2) No shower because she caught a flu 3) Use Ru Yi Oil plus a few drop of martell and massage on her tummy And it WORKS on her! Really 佩服 ah kor! 谢天谢地!! ! She can sleep well again! (include us too)
