Day 20

It's Sunday, and my family is coming to visit baby Megan again. We have to time our visit very accurately so that they are not visiting the baby while she's busy in taking a bath or feeding. 

Jenny is also on leave on Sunday which means Ah Lun is taking Megan for a bath on his own. Finally he made it. 

Actually Kailan does not harm baby when she is calmed. I love this shot! Tse's family is finally sitting all together on the sofa. 

Sister loves this picture. 

Megan is lack of security likes some other babies. We have to use pacifier to calm her sometimes, though we don't want to rely on this too much.

I also need to thank Ah Lun taking the night shifts (12am and 4am) for me so I can take a rest after two long days. I am full of energy now. 

Day 19

Nothing special happened today, and life gets really busy as Ah Lun had long working days recently. Sometimes, I think it's not about physical help, but the mental support which is more important. Therefore, these last two days passed too slowly and looked more difficult without him. 

The good news is he will be home on Sunday most of the time! At least he can help to hold Megan after feeding. He also needs some bonding time with baby after  disappearing for two days. 

This is the only photo I took on Day 19. She's got chubby cheeks! But her arms and legs are not chubby at all because they are rather long...no Michelin effect on her so far. 

Day 18

We visited the maternal and child health centre again for a regular check-up. Megan weighed 4.01kg on Day 18, she's  getting heavier slowly and gradually. 

She looks quite different everyday! Here you go the look of Day 18:

By the way, Ah Lun started to give nick name to Megan. She is called 禿鷹 because of her natural but standing hair. 

禿鷹is trying to push the pacifier into her mouth by her little hands. 

Day 17

2 weeks after I have discharged from hospital, I was required to do a medical check up on my wound. I just look forward to this appointment because I wanted to know how much weight I have lost after child birth. 

Surprisingly, I lost all the baby weight I have gained. 

38 weeks pregnant = up 7.6kg

Megan's weight at birth time = 3.8kg

2 weeks postpartum = down "exactly" 7.6kg (how funny!)

It really made me happy because I lost all the weight gain in such a short period of time. But anyway, I was a bit overweight before my pregnancy, so it's the best time to reduce some weight in the next couple of weeks. 

By feeding Megan with breast milk, I actually eat a lot. The amount of rice and soup I take is amazing!! With this amount of food intake, I can produce milk for baby. Theoretically, I will need 500 calories more everyday. 

Kailan and the Safety Gate

Megan has been back to home for two weeks, and Kailan is getting used to the existence of Megan. 

We ordered a safety gate to seperate Kailan from baby last week. After we purchased the gate, Kailan actually becomes more calmed and she wants to stick with baby now. If I sit in the living room, she will pull her pillow to stay close to us. 

But if I go back to the nursery room, Kailan will stay close to the gate. So funny!!

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...
