Day 16

It was a nightmare last night. Megan did not sleep well because she had a stomachache. It's very heartbreaking as we could not do much to alleviate her pain but just hold her tight. Both of us woke up to look after her. It's the first time I felt very tired in the morning. 

Though Megan had a bad night, she started the day better today. Her appetite was not as good as the first week, but it's still ok. 

Today, her umbilical cord fell off. Just a couple of hours after this picture was taken. It looks like a super big raisin, haha. 

Mom & sister-in-law also visited us. The best joke was JB attacking Kailan, we were so happy because Kailan was afraid of a young kid finally. 

It's also a memorable day, because Ah Lun was trained to bath Megan for the very first time!! Well done, hubby!!  

I was busy with milk pumping in the nursery room. But I think this is such a precious moment so I stopped the pumping and witness this. 

Small Megan vs Big Lun

Sigh! The bath basin is too small for Megan very soon. 

Day 15

Good morning Megan! 

Megan's eyes are getting bigger as she continues to 收水

Day 15 marked half of one month and this was an exciting day!! 

Yay! We have another excuse to go out as we need to buy some baby stuff from AEON tsuen wan. Ah Lun and I had some private couple moments which we truly treasured. 

Feeling too happy because I could break the prison for leisure reasons on Day 15. 

I only realized that moms need to visit doctors to do medical check-ups for baby and themselves after child birth. In short, it's not really a confinement as I always thought. 

Ah Lun wanted to have a coffee badly and I wanted to have beard pa pa cream puff!! 

These two hours out of home made my day. But frankly speaking, I still felt tired after two hours. So this is the maximum time I could leave home...

This is the thing we need to buy urgently - nose sucker. I have picked the cutie mushroom shaped sucker. 

Other than that, we had to stock up the Merries diapers. It's the best diaper in town, and Megan's skin was irritated if we used other brands such as Huggies or Pampers. The online shop could only delivered the Merries diapers one day later, and it's too late for poo poo expert Megan. 

Back home and had to look after this naughty baby who did not want to sleep. 

Reflex. Sweetness overload. 

Megan has such long legs. Hopefully she will be a tall lady like her parents. 

Well, Ah Lun wanted to use 爸爸手 as photo caption (He helped me to hold Megan as much as possible, so that I won't get 媽媽手. He then claimed that he got 爸爸手.)

Day 14

Ah Lun's daddy visited us today, and he witnessed the cuteness overload during Megan's bath time. 

After that we took a few more pictures with our DSLR. 

She stopped moving and posed for Ah Lun. 

She hates washing her back, so Jenny needed to change the position quickly. 

This was taken by my iPhone. Finally we put the new born baby clothes on Megan otherwise they won't fit her very soon...

Day 13

Jenny is finally on leave this Sunday, but surprisingly both of us did not fear about the lack of help but enjoyed the quiet time at home very much. May be we treated Tin Tin as family member already, and she's more quiet. On the other hand, Jenny speaks Cantonese so she makes a big difference  if she's present. 

We were feeling okay as baby has a schedule to follow. We take turns to look after the baby and we enjoyed our private family time. It's always fun to watch Ah Lun talking to baby because the conversation is so abnormal!! 

Finally Ah Lun got time to take some pictures from his D4. This was taken by my iPhone 5s only. It may take a longer time to upload the photos from D4. 

baby Megan is most active in the evening. She woke up earlier than her meal time, but she was finding the nipple in this picture. Though it was not captured very well, it's really hilarious. 

Day 12

This daddy worked late and looked after the last feeding before midnight. But Megan did not want to wake up...

Ah Lun told Megan not to sleep now. Save it for the night! 

Day 11

After calling the tsing yi mayernal and child health centre for two days, finally I got a time slot!!! 

It's like I am going back to the 80s when I arrived. The centre's decoration is so different from the current world. Actually I also visited this centre when I was young.  I bet they did not change the decoration much. Even the video showing there is like the educational video we once watched at primary school. So interesting. 

The centre was filled with crying babies but Megan was in deep sleep and I was amazed that she did not wake up!! 

When my name was called, we took Megan in a big room and weighed her. Her latest weight was 3.94kg. The funniest thing also happened on this baby, she wee wee on the weight! Haha. 

Even though the visit was short, 9-11am, I was so exhausted because I woke up at 4:45am every day now. 

Ah Lun had a super busy day too, which means I'm working on my own today. Poor him, he woke up from 3am for work and came back home at 12 midnight. Terrible schedule!! 

Day 10

I cannot believe it that's day 10 already. 

And we are back to home for one full week. Everything gets a system gradually, and we started to understand our baby's requests more. 

1. She always wants people to hold her for a while after feeding. She will open her eyes to check if you are here from time to time. 

2. Wait and see before you change the diapers. Similar to all babies, she likes to eat and poo at the same time. 

3. She tends to be more awake in the evening from 8-12pm....

4. She is quite sweaty and hates hot environment. 

In terms of my breast status, I finally get the electric pump to work on my left breast. May be the lecithin pills are working! It's so touching. 

Day 9

It was a busy day because I promised myself to pump my milk more frequently to alleviate the blockage of milk ducts. Its so time consuming and I wonder how will I survive if I don't have any helpers. 

It's quite impressive to have 120ml solely from my right breast. But my left breast is still very blocked, very frustrating. 

Mom came to visit Megan and help me to buy the dries sea cucumber. She was smiling from the bottom of her heart. 

On the other hand, my 99 still have not got a chance to see Megan because she's occupied with taking care of her two grandchildren. 

Kailan, the eldest sister, was quite unhappy because everyone's attention was on the baby. We spent some time to play with Kailan and the dog is as passionate as usual. 

In the evenings, Ah Lun usually takes the early shift and I will help in the second shift. This works out quite well for us and he still gets some sleep before work. 

Day 8

With Ah Lun's help in the mid night, I could get my breast milk pumped more frequently. I did sleep less last night because of the pumping. 

Megan is a demanding baby and she always wants to have a hug before going to bed. So we offered her both pacifier and our hugs to calm her. Luckily, she slept from 3:30am to 7:09am this morning. Isn't it great!!! 

Ah Lun's is the technician in the family, so he looks after the operations of my electric pump and sterilizer. Therefore, he cleaned / sterilized everything after my breast milk pumping and went to bed later. As a result, the first morning feeding was all looked after by me. 

Posing for me? She's in deep sleep after stomach is full. 

Both blanket and toy sponsored by company.

Today, we need to take baby out to check Jaundice. I m a bit happy because it's a break for my month-long confinement. 

Very lucky, she did not wake up from 1:30pm to 5pm. And she quickly took a bath right after we stepped into the house. 

The next challenge will be on Friday, visiting 健康院. It may take a longer time for that thorough check. 

Day 7

We have got a great night slept because Megan just woke up once. We calmed her down with the pacifier. Why did I not use this two nights earlier? 

It's funny to know that Megannjust cried because of insecurity. The pacifier helped to soothed her. 

After the last meal at 11:30pm, I just woke up at 3:30am to feed her once again. Ah Lun needs to work today so I did not wake him up to offer me a helping hand. 

The next meal took place at 7:30am. And I felt so great with this achievement!!! 

This cheeky baby is so angry if milk is not offered to her quick enough! 

The only caption I can think of is 照鏡！ 

Today, 99 helped to send Megan's proposed name to master for final approval. His first comment was Megan is a big eater. I told Ah Lun that this master is so powerful. He said may be not, because the master asked if baby's mother works. Following that, master said the mom is very successful. Ah Lun disagreed with this comment XDDDD! 

Megan's Chinese name will be 謝玥瞳 if there's no further changes. :)
