Natalie's Visitors
Janet and James were here to visit Natalie last Friday. The first time Janet saw Natalie was when she was 2 or 3 weeks old. She said that Natalie has grown alot since then. I guess all babies grow fast. Natalie is indeed much heavier than before. Previously I was able to somehow carry her with one hand and do something else with another, now I can't do it anymore. In fact I think she grows faster lengthwise. Hopefully she'll grow up to be a tall girl. Heh Heh.
Monica came for a visit yesterday. This is her first time seeing my Nat. She gave her a set of cute little clothes with matching shoes and mittens. She said she got them even before I gave birth to Nat and luckily Nat is still able to fit into them! I'll let her wear that more often to fully "utilise" it. Nat is so lucky to be blessed with so many doting aunties and uncles. Monica thinks that she has my eyes and Gary's mouth. Well... that's fair. I am also beginning to see that Nat is looking more n more like me, especially her eyes. Actually when I was pregnant, I told myself that'd be the worst combination - my eyes + gary's mouth. Ha Ha! I was hoping that she'll have Gary's eyes which are big with double eyelids. My hopes are dashed now.. but still.. heh heh.. somehow the combination looks better than what I thought. I guess in the eyes of a mother, her daughter is always beautiful beyond description. That's exactly how I see my own daughter! Please tell me I'm normal to think this way! Ha Ha!
On another note, Nat finally passed motion after 1 day of constipation. She gets constipated whenever she's fed with formula when I was away in hospital. This time, I only spent a day in hospital so it was better than last time and thus her shorter constipated time. I fed her nonstop after I was discharged from the hospital and after the doctor gave me the "go ahead" sign to breastfeed. I was on very mild antibiotics (amoxicillin) and panadols as the painkillers instead of the normal ones. Though Panadols are not very effective in suppressing post-operation pain, I still feel that it's better than taking anything with codeine coz I don't want to drug my own daughter. Right now, my wound has recovered well enough for me to stop taking even Panadols.
Let me post some of the photos we took recently now.
